Burger Boy

Doing it old school is what Burger Boy is about.  Serving quality, familiar hamburger’s.  Foie gras huh?  Absolutely NOT!  The place itself is very small, there are probably no more then 10 chairs total lining up the small bars to the side, so it you decide to go, it’s better to plan to take out, or go thru the drive thru.  The menu is no nonsense.  Prices are pretty good. I ordered the Bates Special, for $5.39 you get a burger, french fries, and a drink.  The most expensive thing on their menu is The Working Man for $6.99 you get a Double Boy with Large Fries.  Ohhhhhh the fries.  I guess this is where I should throw out a “Moo".  I LOVE crinkle cut fries from Culvers, Churches, and here as well.  I have always had them fresh when I go, so either the Fry Gods smile upon me as I make my order, or they are dedicated to making every order fresh.  You can choose to add jalapeno’s, bacon etc to your burger as well.  The burgers are a few steps above Whataburger.  Just very old fashioned, cooked to order, good burger.  I want to take a minute to reminisce.  My very first job was down the street at Baldwins Prolab, I vividly remember walking my tweenself over here for lunch and loyally ordering some type of specialty drink every single time I went.  I wasted no time with the soda’s!  It never fails, their shakes (my favorite is the strawberry) are delicious!  I’d imagine this is what the 1950’s soda shops would dish out, no wonder everyone was taking their dates there, and then got to score at a ‘parking’ spot.  They are also known for their Orange Freeze.  This drink is particular to this place, I have not had any other drink like it anywhere.  I wouldn’t call it a dreamcicle.  It taste more like the slush that you get from the icee pops sticks when you let it melt a little, or drink the last of it.  To me, the flavor takes me back to summer’s as a kid.  The question, “Would you go back?”.  I think it’s pretty obvious, I have been going since before I could drive, it’s that good that I would walk...and those who know me, know I would not walk just anywhere.
