★★★★★ 5.0 Andrew Mals · Nov 2025

What an absolute hidden gem! The steamed cheeseburger was the phenomenal, easily one of the best burgers I have ever had. The place is such a vibe as well. This place is a must try. Love that it’s a family business too! The vast amount of soda selections had me in awe, was so hard to make a choice with so many great choices! Can’t wait to be back! Tom (owner) and his son were super nice and welcoming!

One of the few places to get a proper steamed cheeseburger. But they are so much more than that. Arguably one of the best hot dogs (they are JUMBO, a meal in their own and delicious)and steak and cheese , super thinly sliced, no grizzle and full of beefy flavor with a generous portion. Lots of choices of toppings while being reasonably priced. Family owned by some of the nicest people you can ever meet. Also they carry a wide variety of unique sodas that I don't know anywhere else to find. The only criticism I can give is that the tuna, potato salads... Could use a bit more mayo. I bring them home and add a little and they are perfect

I was exploring town and had this place on my list to try since reading good reviews. I've never heard of steamed burgers so I was excited. Apparently, steamed burgers were invented in Connecticut! The place was a little hole in the wall with a couple of tables. It reminded me of someone's living room and the person who helped us was friendly; it felt like a friend cooking us lunch in his kitchen. I got almost like a dive bar vibe even though it's not a bar. The service was great, quick and cordial. I had a coupon on Yelp for 10% off for checking in; he said he didn't know about it but honored it. I had the single steamed cheeseburger on a poppy seed roll; with lettuce, tomato, cheese, ketchup, mustard, and pickles. The burger was actually really good and moist. I think the cheese made it

★★★★☆ 4.0 Cathryn White · Dec 2025

Found this hidden gem after seeing a show at Oakdale. It was late, and we were hungry. The food was fantastic, the staff were lovely and conversational, even at a late hour, and the soda selection is fantastic. Even if you're not a soda drinker, I think they might have every type /brand of soda imaginable. We will definitely be back.

It was my first time and I found it very curious the way of cooking the hamburger is supposed to be much healthier when they are steamed. Its flavor is very good and fresh.
