Fast food chains hand out old favorites by the dozen, and innovative new restaurants serve up tasty creations that will awaken your tastebuds with flavor. And then there are restaurants that do both. There’s a restaurant in St. Cloud, Minnesota, that has been a faithful standby for more than 50 years. It may have a long history, but its burgers are still worth talking about. Take a look:

The restaurant has been around since 1959, with 2019 marking its 60th birthday. It is housed in a former gas station. The restaurant's old-school charm is found within every detail of the building.

The retro sign looks like it's straight from the 1950s, and the unassuming building shows that the exterior doesn't need to be impressive for the food to be excellent.
