Expert notes
- This legendary place is famous for one of the country's best burgers, a single cheeseburger topped with two medium-grilled prime beef patties, cheese, decadent dijonnaise, pickles, and onions. Guest can also add egg and bacon on the burger (a favorite and must-add customization!) Chopped chicken liver, roasted marrow bones, and egg dishes are also delicious.
