What’s that big pot of potatoes on the stove? That’s your home fries! They don’t come frozen out of the bag here; they’re made fresh all morning long from whole potatoes.

If you’re too much of a sleepy head to make it there in the morning, stop by for lunch. The burgers here are legendary, and there are 10 different versions to try. They come with potato chips, but it’s well worth the small upgrade to have a pile of those home fries on the side.
