Driving through and decided to order a burger to go. I went with the hulk burger. I've never been…read morehere but the reviews were pretty good so I decided to try it. Pricing was fair. I think it was just over $6 for the burger. No sides included. When I went to pick it up there were a few tables seated, mostly families. It was pretty dark inside but very comfortable and welcoming. I was greeted and taken care of quickly. They didn't give me any napkins and I didn't think to ask until I took my first bite and bbq sauce was everywhere. I wasn't a fan of the sauce. It was too spiced and very thick. Like a cheap grocery store brand. The burger was just ok. Kind of dry. Idk. It wasn't anything excited. It wasn't great but wasn't horrible. Not a place I'd try again but the staff was really kind. Maybe burgers just aren't their thing.

Just Hamburgers: Just okay…read more.. My cousin and I dropped by Just Hamburgers for a late lunch, lured in by the name and the promise of--well, hamburgers. Naturally, we expected a lineup of mouthwatering burger options. Plot twist: the menu was as barebones as it gets. Think "hamburgers or hot dogs" with little to no personality. No signature sauces, no quirky creations--just vibes and buns. I stepped up to order and was immediately thrown into a conversation about my shirt. (Fashion critique wasn't on the menu, but sure.) I asked about the burger size, and was told--deadpan--they're "flat." Well, that clears that up. Eventually, I was informed that a double is "about the size of a quarter pounder." Cool, I guess? I ordered a burger with mayo and chili, to which the guy replied, "That's odd, but okay." Look, either make it the way I like it or lock the doors, buddy--because this wasn't shaping up to be a five-star first impression. When my food was handed over in a paper bag with zero inquiry about dine-in or takeout, we just sat down at a dirty table and unwrapped our meal. What awaited me was the burger equivalent of déjà vu--basically a McDonald's cheeseburger in witness protection. To be fair, the food was fresh and hot. But the flavor? Aggressively average. We even debated swinging by a drive-thru afterward just to feel something again. That said, I'll give them this: it was oddly refreshing to see they serve real all-beef franks. A small win in a sea of "meh." Bottom line: If I'm nearby and need a snack, I might circle back. But I won't be making a pilgrimage for this one. Just Hamburgers lives up to its name--emphasis on just.

Atmosphere - Retro dinner like place without the counter top. Lots of funny things on the walls. Food Drink - Coffee, just black. Breakfast - While in Metropolis you need to have something named after the star. I had the Superman. The Superman is the Loaded Haystack with two eggs and toast. The Loaded Haystack is hash brown, bacon, sausage, onions, green peppers, tomatoes and topped with ton of cheddar cheese. The haystack was loaded for sure, I was full after that. Service - What you needed. The waitress did everything front of the house. Future - Probably as I have another trip to the area soon.

Atmosphere - Old building with dining in a large room. Mostly filled with locals at long tables. We sat at a 4 person table in the corners. Food Drink - Coffee served with a spoon in it. I take my coffee just black. Breakfast - I went with the 2 eggs, Choice of bacon, sausage or ham, with toast or biscuits and gravy. I had too 2 eggs over easy, got medium, sausage that looked like bacon, and the biscuit and gravy could have had more gravy on the thin biscuit. Service - After we placed our order our waitress had to visit us and ask me how I want my eggs. I took 25 minutes to receive food. The clock is ticking and I was not sending the bacon back because I ordered sausage. Future - Maybe as I have another trip to the area soon.

When I came back Saturday we got the crab bites and they were very good. Had the crab legs for the second day in a row and they were still 10 out of 10. Can't wait to come back. For as popular as this place is I do think they could upgrade their tables a little. Our server on valentines afternoon was great and took care of our group of 11. Their house wines are Woodbridge which is actually under the Robert mondavi label.
