Best burger I’ve had in a long time, and a ton of fun and character at this place. Absolutely great flavor, and the vertical burger grill is really neat.

The birthplace of the hamburger!!I had been wanting to visit here since I first found out about it 20 years ago, and it did NOT disappoint! The burgers my wife and I ordered turned out great. They normally come medium rare, but she ordered hers well done and it was perfect. The potato salad was phenomenal, and being from the south, that’s a high compliment.We came at 3pm and found seating, which I was worried about! Paid parking next door, dirt cheap. Can’t wait to visit again, it was a memorable experience. 10/10! Delicious!

It took 1 hour for the burger when we were told 25 minutes. The burgers were small and a well done (certainly not medium rare like advertised)Cool to say you've been to but wouldn't recommend if you're in a rush or hungry.Wheelchair accessibility: Not at all

The original hamburger.Delicious in its simplicity and a special piece of culinary history. No ketchup, no gold foil, no truffle or fancy aiolis - just perfectly toasted white bread, cheese spread, beef, tomato, and onion. Don't sleep on the potato salad or their yummy pies! Put your phone down and enjoy a Foxon Park and a meal from a simpler time.

This place thrives on tourists coming to try their burgers. Because you won't be back a second time.I won't gripe about the tomato too much as everyone makes this mistake, but PLEASE cut the hard center out of your tomato slices, yes it does take more time but I hate biting into that hard bit of certain slices.Cheap bad bread, just your average ground beef cooked in a cool looking device but somehow burnt and raw both at the same time, and some unidentified cheese liquid. You can't ask for ketchup and mustard or they get offended. Honestly I don't believe they invented the hamburger but even if they did you'd probably just eat something else.The price was sky high, but it's to be expected, you don't go to touristy places and expect low prices.1/10 for not adapting to customer requests, it doesn't hurt you to let me have ketchup and mustard on my burger.1/10 for the prices.2/10 for the atmosphere, they tried to make it look old timey.

Okay, maybe not the first here but the food is incredible and tasty and fresh and wonderful and delicious! Anyone who doesn’t agree doesn’t understand what this place is about. You go there for their way of making a hamburger not yours. The menu is staggeringly limited and rightfully so. Makes ordering so much easier. Like they say, if you want it your way go to Burger King. Thank god for this place! And yea it takes a long time to get your food but that allows you time to read the tables and the walls. It’s history folks!
Stopped by here as part of a day trip for my father's birthday. Got here right when they opened and there was already a line of about 10 people. Some other tourists but also some locals too. Burgers are exactly what you'd expect but they're really good. Very simple but very tasty. Would definitely go again if I was in the area.

A special place. Hamburger sandwich meat tastes good. Bread is just bread. It's good for a quick late-night snack or snack.

Grade B+ (89): I've been here now 4 times, that's a lot considering I live in California. The meat has been delicious, but this last time, Mar 2024, it wasn't like before, it used to be where they had 2 balls of meat (I think 1was Chuck & 1 was brisket) and they pressed them together at the last minute to make a patty, it really worked because it would look free form, not perfectly round, and the edges that are thin would cook a bit more than the middle etc. And it REALLY WORKED! This time they had the pattys all made up, I could tell they were 2 meats because one was darker color a bit like brown, (maybe left out a bit more?? Dunno), but the shape was like a regular burger, round and uniform. Not as good. Maybe it was a temporary chef, I hadn't seen him before. Well, for Lois lunch efficiency is not why people come here, they come for the taste of the meat and specially the texture. Just my 2c worth.
