Brookings Restaurant Guide

If you are looking for a modern, 4-star restaurant, you'll be disappointed if you go here. If you are looking for a no-frills restaurant that hasn't changed much (if at all) in the last 50 years with the best burgers you'll ever try, you'll be pleasantly surprised. The burgers are small so don't be afraid to order 3 or 4. They have very little on the menu; just burgers, chips, and pop. You'll be shocked to see they are deep-fried but they aren't greasy. If you want to look like a local, they consider "everything" and "cheese" different. Everything is ketchup, mustard, pickles, and onions. So when you order, say "I'll have 4 with everything and cheese". You might not want to go during their busy times. The lines are long and disorganized.

Talk about your plain Jane hamburger stand. You walk into this palce and it almost reminds you of an abandoned business except the for the line of customers there to get hamburgers or cheese burgers. That is the extent of the menu. This place is well know by many in the area and throughout the state. Watching them make the hamburgers, it appears that they are being cooked in a sea of grease. They cook as many as 12 or more hamburgers at once on the smallest grill I have ever seen. They are then place on fresh homemade buns with whatever you want on them. I had their own special homemade relish. They are small but thet are great and unbeleivelbly not greasy. This is a must try place. Very unique and very inexpensive.
