If you want fresh food with fresh ingredients cooked fresh to order this is the place to go. I ordered a single cheeseburger, a two n two (double cheeseburger) and an order of fries. All were cooked fresh to order. The order itself only took about 5-6 minutes to prepare. The reward for waiting that 5 or 6 minutes? A fresh and juicy burger with fries that were crispy on the outside and pillowy soft on the inside. The fries were perfectly salted and reminiscent of another Chicago area great Gene n Judes. Pricing was about average for fast food in todays economy. The two n two was $7.39. Given that this burger isn’t much bigger than one of the national big 3 burger chains burgers, one might say the burger is overpriced. But lest we forget, this burger was made fresh to order and therefore justifies the cost. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. The establishment could use a little sprucing up. The parking lot is in need of paving and the bathrooms could’ve used some attention. But I wouldn’t let these two things take away from the overall experience.

My wife works in the area and this was my favorite place to stop if I happened to be in park ridge visiting her. I stopped in today and the place really went down hill.

The burger was good but used to be great. The bun was grilled or toasted too long so that it was crunchy.

The wait staff was terrible. The lady taking orders was filling drinks so understandably she was busy but did not acknowledge customers waiting in line just kept looking away while making drinks (to the point that I thought someone in the back was coming out to take our order). Eventually she stepped up to the register for the now line of people and just took order with no acknowledgment.

The front register lady left as I was eating my food and a gentleman who took over for her was chatting with the staff in the prep area loudly. Complaining about her only working 2 days a week when she was supposed to work 5. Then complained about another guy and said that’s why we fired him. The whole time I was eating, it was complaining. A story about the ladies car breaking down but she only lived 3 blocks away.

Honestly not what you want to put up with when you yourself are stepping away from work, and now with the average food, I’ll...
