I love finding local favorites like this. I met Becky who's grandfather started this legendary burger house. The double with a side of onion rings is a must have, get a goblet of beer on the side!

Eater "21 Essential Hamburgers of America" '15: 100-year-old dive bar serves the epitome of the "smash burger "; resulting patties "reduced to an almost two-dimensional plane of seared beef ."

Erik Rowley

Indy is the best city in the world for onion rings (Maybe that's the true meaning behind the name "Circle City ) and this place boasts some of the best in town !

Only had the cheeseburger and tots/onion rings. Definitely a throwback. Nice smashburger. Basic nostalgia. Give it a try.

Yes, it's loud and often crowded . Yes, they're cash only . Yes, they are slow. And yes, you should still check it out.

One of the best burgers in Indy. Though I will warn you it can get a bit smokey at lunchtime. But easily one of the best greasy spoons in Indianapolis. Read more

Zach Steiner

Double cheeseburger and chalice of Budweiser will not disappoint.

Abby Nool

Great food and the ladies are always great. Only downfall is that it's sometimes smoky, but nothing a chalice of beer can't fix.

Larry Lloyd

I am no longer endorsing this place. The food is ok, but I actually had to get up and leave after getting rudely scolded for sitting "incorrectly" I thought she was kidding at first. But she was not.
