This historic burger joint is simply a horseshoe-shaped counter with a baffling seating policy (fend for yourself!) and minimal frills. What you get in return are cheap and juicy sirloin burgers that many swear are the best in town. Sure, ham sandwiches are offered, but aficionados go for the hickory cheeseburger, a drippy treat wrapped in paper (no plates!), and a pile of crispy fries. Don’t miss the transcendent banana cream pie for dessert. Down-home dining never felt so decadent.
