Fell for it because of the high review score, but if you are from out of town and used to good food, do not go here. Stupidly large burger, overcooked, too expensive, bad service, the ingredients were not fresh, and the cheese wasn't even melted. Probably needs new ownership.

Giving it 5 stars for the nostalgia. It is old, but the food is exactly as I remember it. One burger fed my family of 6.

No service. Ignored when walked in. Waited 10m & still no acknowledgement in restaurant. Stay away!!!

Biggest burgers 🍔 ever. If you are on the hunt for a Great Burger this is the place.

My daughter wanted this place for her birthday which is an unusual choice for us usually but she has went here quite a few times with her grandma. I have to say, I was surprised, prices were cheap, they have a room in the back with pool and darts which was fun, service was amazing and fast and then to top it off, one of the best burgers I have ever tried. Definitely did not disappoint. We had family come who had never been there also and they were impressed as well. Over all, great experience. Thank you Effie’s.

Great food, great service. The new buns are delicious!
Shaq burger ain't got nothing on this baddie. 8/10 would eat here again. I slammed 2/3 of that thing and some fries and had the rest for dinner the next night. The bun is phenomenal bread.
I'm giving it 2 stars mainly for the food. I first (and last) went here as a college kid in '84; we'd seen it on a TV news magazine show like 20/20 or similar, and when we found ourselves travelling through Lewiston decided to give it a shot. All that I really recall was that we enjoyed it. Fast forward - the diner doesn't seem to have changed, literally. Some of my friends' man caves are better suited for burger joints. The burgers where "huge", meaning that the bun was huge but basically you have a quarter pounder stretched across 80% of the bun. No way to get medium rare because at that thickness, the only way to cook it is 10 seconds on the fryer then flip into the bun. $22 was a ridiculous price for a ton of bread and a bit of burger. Topping options were decent. The woman working the front was fantastic

Felt like we were dining in someone’s quiet home.
