Guests come inside to place their orders at the counter. The interior is tiny with no room to sit, so tables are placed outdoors for those who wish to enjoy their meals on-site.
The infamous burgers are made with a ratio of 81/19 ground beef and cooked on a flat top grill smash-patty style. Crispy edges and melted cheese abound.
Other popular menu items include the fried fish sandwiches, onions rings, fries, toasted raviolis, shakes, malts, ice cream cones, and more. You'll even find iconic Ski soda here.
