It's a tiny town with a population of around 1,700 people. It was founded in 1871, but it's been a pretty quiet town its whole life.

They're proud of being the heart of the Nation, and a shining example of what it's like to live in a small town in the Heartland. However, they've got one big claim to fame that's a big reason for noticing them.
They have some of the best burgers in Kansas, all from this one joint.

Jiffy Burger is a town staple, styled after a 1950's restaurant devoted after many of the stars in that era. However, a good portion of the restaurant is taken over by Marilyn Monroe alone.

Nearly half of the menu is reserved for different ice cream dishes, but there's also plenty of sandwiches and combos to choose form as well. I personally recommend the fried cheese curds and onion petals for sides, but the burgers are absolutely amazing, and the sole reason why they stand above the rest.
They're open seven days a week, 11am to 9pm.
