The basics
This restaurant only serves hamburgers, cheeseburgers, fries and shakes. You won’t find any chicken sandwiches, nuggets or salads here.
Next level beefing
- Double-Double = 2 patties, 2 cheese.
- 3x3 = 3 patties, 3 cheese.
- 4x4 = 4 patties, 4 cheese.
That secret sauce
Well, it’s a secret, but the internet describes it as a Thousand Island-style dressing or a spread made up of a mixture of ketchup, mayonnaise and sweet pickle relish.
The secret lingo
Animal Style: Can apply to your burger or your fries.
- Animal style burger = mustard-grilled patties, the secret spread, extra pickles, grilled onions.
- Animal style fries = the secret spread, cheese, grilled onions.
Flying solo
- Flying Dutchman = No lettuce. No onions. No bun! Just two patties and two slices of cheese.
The lighter side
- Protein Style = Wrap your burger in lettuce. Ditch the bun.
The shakes
There’s strawberry. There’s chocolate. There’s vanilla. But if you’re feeling adventurous, order all three flavors in one cup. It’s called the Neapolitan.
