Corner Bistro

This place does not fuck around. The menus are posted on the wall: burger, cheeseburger, bistro burger, fries. Ketchup, mustard and stack of napkins are strewn across the banged up tables, the only thing they serve that's not on the menu? Mayonnaise.

Yes, you will have to wait in line. Hopefully it's short enough that you aren't fall over drunk off $2.50 beers by the time you sit down, but you might be.

The burger is basic, bun out of a bag, cheese slice packaged individually, fries frozen, but hot smokey damn that loosely packed ground beef was delicious. Burger was tender and juicy, cooked in a pizza oven type deal, cooked medium it's still a little pink. Served with a tomato, droopy piece of iceberg lettuce and a few bread and butter pickles it looks at home on the little plastic plate that is dropped in front of you. It is surprisingly tasty, mine exploded while I ate it. Like the burgers, the fries don't appear to be anything special but were cooked to a perfect crisp and quite delicious. After last week's misadventure it was a pleasingly reasonable portion.

The bistro burger is served with cheese and delightfully crispy bacon. After mowing down our burgers we quickly ordered another round - apparently not that uncommon. These are not small burgers, but they are delicious and when you order the second, they make them extra good and let you sit around and digest for a hell of a lot longer than the regular onesies patrons.

I will return and I very much look forward to stumbling in at the unreasonably late hours they are open.
