On a trip to CA for work. I found this place by driving around. If you are near Fairfield, CA, and want a really good old-fashioned hamburger, this is THE place. The lady that took my order was the daughter of Dave. I'm a sucker for nostalgia, and this place has it. I loved how everything was clean and up to date but still "ol' school" if you will. I ordered a single cheese burger, added bacon, and grilled onion. All burgers have lettuce, tomatoes, fresh onion, mayo, and mustard. And they are cooked to perfection. I ordered tots and added chili and cheese. And all I can say is Dang! So if you have NOT tried this place, get there asap!

Very small burger shack. Great service. Limited menu. No fries, only tots. In my opinion the tots are slightly too dense. Free refills. Outdoor seating. Large shake menu. The burger was good and cooked perfectly

Great burgers & great service!!! I just wish their credit card machine would give you the option to tip, I don’t usually carry cash, and I think the employees deserve more tips!!! I’ve been coming here for years… hands down, best burgers still
