Good burger
Came here on a friend’s recommendation. I guess it’s really his nostalgia, coz I didn’t feel the same way at all. The atmosphere was indeed nice and unique, with a lot of history, but the space was small and got very cramped quickly as a line of a dozen or more was formed even before the door opened at noon. The burger itself was so-so, nothing spectacular at all, though the potato salad was surprisingly good. Been there, tried that, not again.

I came here since saw positive review online, but really disappointed me‼️The burger is super bland. And it cost almost $10! With a small portion! I decided to buy Shake Shack after eating this burger, and Shake Shack is much delicious than this one.
Besides, not much other option in here, no combo meal provided.

One of the best places we stopped in boston. The folks were first class. Locals were very helpful also. I'm glad we got there before they shut down for vacation. Hope you enjoy your time off. Was an honor to eat here. Thanks from indiana

The menu is super simple, just choose one. The bun was really well prepared, and although the taste was bland, the meat was cooked to just right, so satisfying.

Eating history is always cool. And to back it up with legit burgers is even better. Simple cheeseburger on white, toasted bread, chips, and a soda. Be prepared to know how to order, know that you are going to wait, and know that you might get a seat or you might need to take it to-go. If you can't figure that out, go elsewhere. But if you can, it is totally worth it. Simple and delicious!

No ketchup, mayo, mustard. . Didn’t need it. The burger speaks for itself without the help. Soooo juicy, and good. Potato salad was up there with the best. I can see why they’ve been around doing it the same way for so long. It works.

Come on, it’s Louis’. You have to go in with the right expectations of what the place is - a Library of Congress listed hamburger hole-in-the-wall. Appreciate it.

Having a burger at the plane where the first hamburger was sold is an experience! Tasty, perfect!

Drove 2 hours out of my way just to be greeted by a sign saying they ran out of food and are closing early.
