July 2024: Returned to try lunch! Burger and fries are just okay, but honestly, for less than $10, I am perfectly fine with just okay. Maybe I'd go with a local burger stand instead, but it's fun to drop in here just for the atmosphere. Breakfast is definitely better, though. OMG this place is adorable.

Bad experience will never step in my...
