I didn't get a picture of where we ate, but I saved the menu for this page. They were actually closing down the place (for the day) due to lack of business when we arrived. They agreed to let us in. Our cook was very precise and deliberate in her execution, and I thought the results were good. Ted got a double bacon cheeseburger. Vickie got a cheeseburger. Jason got a chicken burger, and Paige got a veggie burger.
