There had been a few imitators who opened multiple locations with similar name hoping for similar success, but this establishment’s uniqueness could never be replicated and reproduced. Both owners have dedicated almost half of their lifetime putting in sweat, tears, and especially their love into the business, and understandably so, it was a bitter-sweet moment when they had turn over the keys to the new owners.

This establishment was and will always be a staple to the city and an endearment to every patrons that have taken a bite of their hamburger and shared a few words with the owners.
