Joe Jr

8.0/10American

AI-generated summary

An old greasy spoon, and the is the order. It's thick and griddled, not a smash, and people say the patties have a touch of liver in them. Ask for the extra crispy. The gets recommended too. A few people think it's overrated, but most of the sub disagrees.

replying to u/ChornWork2: Don't get it at all. After seeing it all the time on reddit gave it a shot, and was totally meh. Even gave it a second chance b/c of how often see people saying that. Anyone not into the diner vibe specifically, who thinks that's a great burger & fries?
