In the uptown area, this place provides your best bet for greasy burgers and a shake. It is particularly popular with locals after a night of drinking, who seek this place out to solve their hunger pains. It's a lively place where everyone sits at the bar--there are no tables. This way, you can bump elbows with the tuxedo-dressed couple coming in for some grease after attending the Louisiana Philharmonic concert or overly-friendly college coeds who've stopped in with the frat bunch from nearby Tulane University. The cook/server wears a white uniform and will joke with you and make fun of you. But, above all, go for the chocolate shakes (made the old fashioned way), chili cheese fries, and a bacon burger. My stomach is growling already . . .
