It was old school fast food, nothing but a grille and a counter in a
little green roof building.
There was one next to the cut through in the 1700 block of Pa ave to G
street. I went by there every morning on my way to school and I
usually grabbed a burger or two.
There's a place in New Haven that's like that. Been there for
generations, more than 100 years, actually, called Louis Lunch.

That is a lot nicer than a Little Tavern. They were all white and
green tile with a counter and not much else in a couple hundred square
foot nook of a building.,
I am sort of fond of Crystals in Florida, tiny but tasty burgers.
I eat a Whopper at BK occasionally but that is usually the only fast
food I will eat.
All Burger Kings are not created equally tho. For some reason, some
make a better whopper than others.
I also have a pretty good eye for spotting the "dirty" ones. I spent a
lot of time behind those counters and some I would not even drink the
coffee from.
We had one particular Wendy's here we called the roach motel. I
wouldn't even let the guys bring used parts from there into the
office. I told them " Leave the old part in the dumpster and I will
fix the paperwork for the return".
I don't like the burger joints much. Around here, decent hot "fast" food
and freshly packed sandwiches, salads and fruit are available from a
chain operation called WaWa. Big, clean, well-lit stores with lots of
employees, good gasoline prices, nice food. They're putting local 7-11's
out of business. I saw a poster in a store recently that indicated the
chain was planning to open several stores in central Florida.
