The crispy lettuce and onion really was refreshing from all of the local fast food. The restaurant itself is pretty small, but that's part of the nostalgic Route 66 vibe. There's an outdoor patio that would be amazing in the fall or spring.

I'm really not sure where to start with this review. It wasn't a pleasant experience at all. I saw…read morephotos of the food on Yelp and thought this might be a good dive or greasy spoon style diner to have lunch at with my husband, since I was in the area. We met there and the outside aesthetic alone should've warned us off. To start, the exterior of the building was quite worn down, the windows were dark and dirty, and the sign was broken. If it weren't for the cars parked outside and for the fact that I called ahead to ensure they were open, we would've thought they were closed for business, permanently. We enter the building lobby, for lack of a better word, and proceed into the dining room. The first step into the dining room was me stepping into a literal hole that is covered with a rubber mat. That's a definite hazard. I couldn't believe that they'd just cover it with a mat. That's really dangerous. At that point, I was really starting to rethink staying. We walk further in and there is this atrocious, sour, vomit-inducing stench that billows throughout the room. It slaps you in the face and takes your breath away, and it's covered by a very strong pine smell. Again, I'm contemplating leaving but my husband didn't want to make a scene. The place is FILTHY! And I don't mean filthy as in someone spilled food and didn't clean it up. I'm talking decades of grease, dirt, bacteria, etc. covering the floor and furniture. You could take a putty knife and chisel up layers of gunk from the floor. There was even a sign that said something like- "Wipe tables down each night- Alli". I'm paraphrasing, but that was the gist. If you have to tell your staff that.... ugh... We get to the table and I didn't even want to touch the chair to sit, let alone stay there and eat, but I didn't want to leave right after we entered the place. I was hoping (praying) the food would be worth it... The waitress comes over to take our drink order and brings the drinks back pretty quickly. The cup felt like it hadn't been washed, ever... It had a layer of grime on the outside. Say you cooked something greasy at home and let the greasy dish soak in the sink for a day, but a cup fell into the pan and soaked with it overnight. When you pick it up the next day and the grease is stuck to the side of it- that's what it felt like. I would've asked for a new cup, but I knew in my gut that the next one wouldn't be any better. It's like they run their dishes through a dishwasher that only has cold water and no hot water. Bleh. They take our food order and I'm quite literally praying that we don't get sick from eating here. Why I stayed, I have no idea. I guess I didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings. The waitresses seemed like they had their own issues and I didn't want to add to it. The food comes out and and it's time to eat. My burger was ok at first, clearly a frozen patty but I'm giving it a shot. Then I taste something off and stop eating it. My fries... I just can't even... a few of them were ok, but then I got to some that tasted like they had been fried in a deep fryer that had been used for years without being cleaned or having the grease replaced. My burger also tasted like it was cooked on a filthy grill. My husband couldn't stomach the place and only ate the things on his plate that he thought couldn't make him sick. We got the ticket, paid, and left as quickly as we could without being too obvious or rude. It's a little restaurant that is clearly struggling. This place was beyond 'dive' or 'greasy spoon' status. There's no possible way that this restaurant is safe to eat at. I honestly don't know how they ever pass the health inspection. The level of dirty here is not something that can be cleaned up the day before inspection day, just to get this dirty again between inspections. It must never, ever, be cleaned, or the inspector is blind, literally. As you can guess, we will never be eating here again and I don't recommend that you do either.

Although the burger came out hot, fresh and was very good....It had a few tiny slivers of onions, a tiny drop or two of ketchup & mayonnaise. Is it customary to request extra toppings to encourage Caspers to place what is standard at other burger shops? It wasn't my last meal, but for an $8.00 burger it was disappointing to get back to work and feel like I just ate 2 smashed burger patties and bread with no sauce or toppings...

It was excellent, and enough fries for 2 people. In fact, my wife and I could've split the sandwich and fries and it would have been plenty. AND the daily special INCLUDES the fries for $9.49. The sandwich is regularly $12.49 and the fries are an additional $1.77. This place understands good food at a reasonable price! I hope to come back.

Burger review Ok Boomer 9.7/10 -It's called the OK boomer, but it's an Oklahoma Smashburger. So it's two thin smashed patties with super thin shaved onions smashed directly into the patty, and I think they just put a whole pile of them on top, which I absolutely loved. I mean, this is truly a well-crafted burger and definitely on my list of new fave burgers. Also, my pics aren't the best, but when I tell y'all don't let them fool ya, this was a banger of a burger. Only thing I'd change is no pickles , but that's on me lol... oh yeah the housemade fries were crazy good. Petty Eddie Approved #burgers #explore

It turned out to be an excellent choice. This restaurant is located in a strip mall and isn't all that special from the outside, but presents itself as a great casual place inside. From the moment we entered until we left everyone was so friendly. I started with the wedge salad and it was one of the best wedge salads I've had anywhere. Plenty of cheese in the dressing. My wife's onion soup looked good and when she let me have a taste I thought I should have had a cup! I tried the filet tips. They were cooked medium rare, just as I like them! The beef and pasta entrée my wife had was a great choice. The wine list had several good choices available My wife and I were celebrating our wedding anniversary and Rural Metro made our occasion very special! Chef Tiny prepared Bananas Foster for us.
