Best burger place in town. Great for malts and shakes too! A little pricey, and service is pretty slow, which they openly acknowledge noting, "if you want fast food go to mcdonald's" despite this being a "fast food" type of restaurant. It is totally worth the wait though if you love a good burger. Their hours can sometimes be sporadic, so have a backup place just in case. I recommend The Duke. The Child Star is a great option for adults looking for a slightly smaller burger. Their french fries are my favorite!

This is a great place for special occasions. Strongly recommend making a reservation well in advance. Prices vary depending on what you order. If you're on a budget, you can manage to eat fairly cheap if you stick with soup and a house salad. Their clam chowder is tasty.
