This is the best burger you will ever have and the atmosphere is awesome. Go with an open mind and do not try to compare it to the chain food. It's about the meat - not the just you can pile on it. Get a cheeseburger with the works and yes...NO KETCHUP!

Well who said a burger on two pieces of white bread was out-of-date or something poor people eat? POPPY KOCK!!! BALDERDASH!!!
Get on over to the famous small "hole-in-the-wall" called Louis Lunch.
Being from out-of-town I was unfamiliar with this legendary icon. Now my belly, my being has had a piece of TRUE AMERICANA!!!! Please bring your patience and order correctly!!! This is a small two-man operation!!! The journey of the order and waiting around a large wooden table in the corner, talking with strangers is all apart of this culinary legend!!!
You know what, the beef was SPECTACULAR!!! Go get one, order two, cuz you will want another when your done with the first.
