It's a rare night that you don't witness something funny or interesting while waiting for your portion with fellow night owls.
They offer a good selection of home-made burgers, a very nice curry chicken portion, a good veggie choice of blue-cheese fries that all make your visit worthwhile.
Despite the extensive list of choices just as great as the other, the real reason you want to make sure you stop here during a visit to Jyväskylä is to have a taster of the main local delicacy - taksari, a portion consisting of crinkle-cut fries, crispy pieces of frankfurter type sausage, all piled on with iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, fried onion, fresh onion, cucumber cubes and topped with mustard relish, pepper mayo, ketchup and mustard. This portion is so epic and delicious that you can stop by and have it for lunch and still think it's just as tasty. If you want to go big, you can take a double-meat version called lihapullataksari, which is all this and a side of meatballs.
