Description

Nestled in the heart of Kings Beach, this longtime burger shack serves classic char-grilled burgers, generous fries and nostalgic fountain drinks in a cozy lakeside setting. Loyal patrons praise fresh toppings, hearty portions, outdoor seating and arcade touches, though peak-season crowds and a tiny parking lot bring long waits. Quality can be inconsistent — some items are oversalted and order mistakes or curt service occur. Best for casual walk-ins and quick comfort food; visit off-peak for faster, more reliable service.

This place is always fantastic! The onion rings are the highlight for me.

The two young employees appeared to be overwhelmed and overworked, and I felt really sorry for them. The restaurant was packed, with just these two staff members handling orders, cooking, and managing everything. While the employees were fantastic, the responsibility lies with the owner and management for putting them in such a difficult situation.

The food is good. But, the kitchen is really slow. The kitchen can only process 2-4 meats at a time. So, a couple guys in front of you means a 20-30min wait.

Do NOT waste your time with this tourist trap. There 's a reason it 's up for sale and nobody wants to buy it.To start the girl (little girl) at the counter couldn 't be bothered to tell us the real prices hidden in some corner next to her, verses the outdated (her words) prices on the GIANT billboard in front she saw us staring at the entire time.We were charged closes to double what we expected because the prices we thought were real apparently aren 't.How is that now the definition of false advertisement ?Next the food was average at best and more than overpriced.
