My daughter found this place and goes pretty often and tells me I gotta give it a try. Today I was in the area and stopped in. I was greeted with a sweet lady she took my order and about 10min later the food was ready. We ordered cheeseburgers and chili cheese fries. They were both exceptional. Looking for a great burger spot this is it.

Okay, so it's been more than a year since I've had Cream Burgers. The first time I went the burger was pretty good but the service was not so good. But I was in the neighborhood with some cash on me as this place only accepts cash payments. So I decided to give this place another try because I remembered that the burger was pretty good However, I contemplated whether or not I wanted to deal with her bad attitude. So I did go to place an order and I'm glad I did because her attitude was totally opposite of what it was the first time I was there. She was so super friendly and warm this time around and the burger was still as good as it was the first time I had one. Though, the fries could use some salt on them but other than that it's worth it because the burgers are good and the prices are reasonable. I actually left there with a smile this time because of the warm customer service I received Thank you and I hope your customer service stays as warm and good as your burgers
