I love this kind of place. \nUnassuming, local greasy spoon-style diner. The staff was as friendly as could be. It was a Sunday, people were chatting. We ordered at the counter, got out glasses filled up with soda and took a seat.\nThe wait was longer than most fast foodies are used to, but to me, it was expected and welcome, fresh diner food made to order takes a tad longer than a microwave.\nThe Bride and I both had a Giant cheeseburger w fries. Granddaughter has hot dog and grandsaon a burger. (the kids being 5 and 12 were the ones who were used to fast food times) \nWhen brought to the table, the burger as shown in yelpers photo's... nothing magical, and certainly by todays indulgent standards FAR from \"giant\" but a solid diner burger.\nFresh fries, nice hot, and crispy.\nHot dog, was a standard hot dog on a fresh bun.\n\nSo hey buddy... whats up with two stars?\nThe burger was as dry as could be! I couldn't understand it, fresh meat, not sitting out under a lamp to become shoe leather... (I've seen some sins done to meat in diners let me tell ya!)\n\nThen I saw that when cooking the patty, the cook puts one of those bacon weights on it and leaves it there. I could see the fat being squeezed out of it. \nLike greasy tears.\n\nPerhaps the breakfast is good, I don't know, seems like the sort of place it would be OK. But I just cant give more than two stars, \nI wanted to like it more, but frankly, a dry patty is a deal breaker to me.
