I came here with my friends because we love the food there. It was weird I had been in there dozens of times before. The outside looked exactly the same as it always does but the inside looked exactly like the inside of my old room at a house I had moved out of. I didn't think much of it and ordered a shake and a large fries for my friend. I sat down on my old bed with my fries and my shake. My brother was sitting there and he was smaller than usual. It was weird cause he's in college and isn't supposed to be home until November. And he usually wasn't that small. But I offered him a fry and he took it. We sat there in silence for a while until he looked over at me and said. "Don't you remember?" "Remember what?" I asked. As I asked the room crumbled around me. Then afterwards the retro burger looked completely normal. I sat down with my shake and gave the fries to my friend. Just a suggestion but I think they should add more shake flavors for next time.

Love retro burger! I have been a customer since they were down the cape. I used to love hitting retro burger and then taking my son to the mini golf next door. When I heard they moved to my town I was ecstatic! Food is delicious, and the prices are fair.

This place is a must try! The food is incredible and so is the costumer service. My favorite is the Godzilla burger. Totally recommend it.

Some of the finest burgers that I have ever had! Great atmosphere! The fries and ice cream is spectacular as well! Only complaint is that the waits for food are a bit long sometimes.

Best burgers, especially for less than $10 each. Shared a strawberry malt with my partner as well, which was pretty good. I am recommending this place to my friends and will come again.

Great burger place... Sad to hear that they are leaving soon. The counter lady was super chill. I love the old jukebox and the general retro vibes (hence the name) of the place.

This is a funky little burger joint right on Mass Ave in Arlington. When my daughter and I went, I got a cheeseburger and onion rings. The burger was very good, the onion rings were fine if not spectacular. We also had ice cream after dinner. My daughter got a sundae which she said was very good. I got a cone which was ok the ice cream seemed a little old as it had crystalized to some extent. I guess this is what you get for ordering ice cream in February.

I come to this superb place once a month as I love the good air that is part of this place. The crew is highly attentive and experienced. The service is certainly quick. Most important, the food they cook is perfect. I visited often and I was never disappointed. The expense is fair. I highly recommend this restaurant to to all.

Fresh and to order burgers and shakes. The owner and staff are friendly and encouraged us to try out the jukebox with working record player. Food was good mom & pop quality along with a few restaurant dad jokes.

Great atmosphere. Food was really good. Great flavor burgers, hot, crispy fries and onion rings. My one criticism is the buns are too dry and crumbly, they fall apart and take away from the burger too much. But otherwise, loved the whole experience.

Really good burgers and fries( waffle cut). They do a great take out service. Only saw a few people eating inside. We could of used some extra napkins but could not find any. The only 2 downfalls of this place... really slow service and not a lot of parking.

Went here for the first and last time tonight. My friend suggested we go, and since I had driven by a bunch of times and thought it looked cute I agreed to give it a try. I got a small Rifleman, sweet potato fries and a vanilla frappe. Everything can easily be described as tasteless. The bun was really dry, maybe it could have been toasted and buttered. The burger needed salt and ketchup which , luckily were both on the table. There weren't napkins on the table so we had to do some looking around for them. The sweet potato fries were over cooked and bland ... again thank goodness for the salt and ketchup. The worst part of the meal was the frappe. It didn't taste like vanilla. It didn't even taste like milk. It came with an environmentally conscious paper straw that didn't last halfway through the drink. But the absolute worst part of the whole experience was the little rodent that decided to make an appearance at the front of the restaurant. I'm not going back.

The best burgers in Arlington and possibly the best I have ever had.
