It is child friendly. You can refill sodas which is good for the poor and thirsty

Great burgers and all the classic accompaniments. The food is quite good. The atmosphere is a bit rough around the edges, like a lot of downtown places. There always seems to be an entertaining cast of characters hanging around. On the plus side, it usually is not too crowded earlier in the evening. even when other places are busy, this place does get busy later. The downside is the high prices for very good food but not a great dining experience. There are daily specials to get around that somewhat.

Sometimes you just want a good burger and fries. This is the place. The party melt is pretty good too. The sourdough is not over powering. Nice place.
