Old school 'malt-shop' style Burger joint.
Had the double cheeseburger daily special.
Burgers are delicious, nice and crispy steak burger, and the quality of the meat is excellent.
Also have excellent shakes/malts.
Highly recommended.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jun 25, 2023
Great drive in stop! Nostalgic feel, good food and fast service. Price was reasonable and we were in and out fast. Definitely would try again, burgers and fries were all good, corn nuggets definitely an interesting new try

Great place to grab a burger and reminisce! We go a couple of times a month and we are always pleased.
The servers are friendly and attentive.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Vicki C.Independence, MO7861Aug 4, 2023
Burgers are awesome and reasonable and the staff attentive, clean and polite. Visiting with others while there is a lost treasure.

Been coming here since I was a kid. I don't know who this dude is they have had working the drive thru for a while now, but he's rude and he's messed our orders up multiple times now. This place used to always be super friendly service but this guy is flat out apathetic and rude and doesn't listen to the orders then gets mad and asks you to repeat yourself 2 or 3 times.. When I'm only ordering 3 items ..I shouldn't have to repeat myself several times. This guy needs to work on his attitude or gtfo.

Classic drive-in style food, but the prices have gone up a ridiculous amount since the last time I was in. Paid $3.50 for 8 onion rings. Comical! Won't be back for a while.

It's not the most comfortable place to sit and eat but the staff is great and our burgers and fries and onion rings really good!

I've been wanting to try this place for years, having grown up on HiBoy.
Burger had no flavor. No salt or pepper apparently used during cooking. The bun was massive... which might be ok if there was a lb of meat, but I just got the single.
Fries were also unsalted and there were plenty, but half were soggy and limp.
Service was pretty slow as well.
I'll reserve my grease intake for HiBoys!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1 - Terrance B.Independence, MO65342Jul 16, 2022
First time trying this... everything was fresh... pretty fast too.. my only thing was there wasn't that much seasoning on the burger or fries..
