We can provide our guests with the additional safety of an enclosed kitchen and limited personal contact – whether you choose to drive up, order ahead online, or have our food delivered.

I’ll preface this review by admitting I only go here late night. Usually some time past midnight so maybe that is what the issue is, but, I NEVER get a hot burger. I would be ok with lukewarm even, but it feels like it was pulled from a refrigerator. Only way to have a chance at hot food is to order items that are fried. And even then it’s 50/50. I’m also never going to complain in the moment because there is usually a long line and let’s be honest, the workers don’t care.

Night time vibes here are a manner in the city.
This Grand Rapids location is a staple in the community as a fastfood restaurant near 'easttown'. Located on the famous Michigan Medical Mile. This vintage restaurant is a classic taste of good 'ol Burgers, Seasoned French Fries and wings.
Try a shake to go or one of the other assorted menu items. Late night or early afternoon. Many people service this restaurant with a smile that is given up on payment.
Tonight, I tried mozzarella sticks at store #1077 and I'll say they sure were fried with a delicious delightful touch. Fried golden brown and served with Marinara sauce.
If you have a large order to place I would call
Ahead.
Chicken, burgers, wings, fries, and so much more, glad I stopped by for a couple quick bites. Sure you will too.
