My days of partying are long behind me. Perhaps once a year I do anything fun at all. But I understand the beauty and psychology of late night garbage meals. These folks have it down to a science, and few do it better.
There’s very few places outside of NYC bodegas and Instagram Reels where one can find food this decadent and depraved. Hey Chef! Go ahead and put chicken strips, bacon, a fried egg, french fries, and buffalo sauce into a tortilla and fry the thing. Might as well pour a beer into it too. Who cares. It's not normal. But when they serve it here, I’ll slop it up with a smile on my face.
The atmosphere is distinctly that of a college town whose primary food crowd arrives at midnight. Pictures of a more reckless past on the walls, a digital jukebox (which seems to default to Travis Scott Radio), and employees that are sick of people forgetting their order numbers. Who could want more? The service is quick, and there are multiple burgers with jalapeno poppers just shoved right in the middle. Slop slop slop it up.
The surprising thing is that the value here really isn’t bad. The Gaucho Burger (a real classic) remains around ten dollars, even in these trying times. There’s bacon and avocado on there, which I thought by now would be additions reserved only for those of the 1%. The important thing is that you don’t ask questions, and that you request extra chipotle sauce on the side and dip everything you get in it.

Got tender combo which is listed at 10.95 for the tenders fries and drink. The worker then charge me 16.59 and said the drink wasn’t included in it anymore and gave me paper thin chicken tenders. Finally only allowed two sauce cups that were half filled at best.

Classic IV experience. Food is decent American stuff, nice and fried - nothing gourmet, but that's not the point. Even better, they're always open really late. A favorite for every late night partier; can be surprisingly busy at 1am on a Saturday.
I would recommend the mozzarella sticks, curly fries, chicken tenders, and gaucho burger.
If you're visiting, prepare to park a ways away.

Called them to inquire about their food, they hung on me on purpose after I asked them to ask if their food had a specific ingredient.

The food lacked seasoning, and half the fountain drinks were water. Good prices in this economy, though!
