The burgers are served up thick and juicy straight off the flat-topped grill. Long lines are common during the summer, but one bite and you’ll realize it was worth the wait.

Choose from over 15 different toppings. Try traditional options like lettuce, chopped onion, and bacon or go for more snazzy choices like chili sauce, hot peppers, or a fried egg.

The burgers are four-ounce juicy patties straight from Noel’s Market but if you’re really hungry opt for the eight-ounce stacker. Harry’s Place also serves a vegetarian version to boot.
