Ever since seeing this place mentioned on Food Network's
The Best Thing I Ever Ate- Hamburgers
, I've wanted to visit
Bobby's Burger Palace. The Bobby in the restaurant name would be Bobby Flay, accomplished NYC chef turned omni-present Food Network star. Lucky for me, the closest establishment (hard to call it restaurant, let alone palace) is only a 25-minute drive away. As we were eating with an infant and two children, we chose to arrive early at 11:30 to beat the lunch crowd.
When entering, you line up to place an order. The menu of basically 10 burgers, (low-carbers can choose a "topless burger salad"— a burger atop a bed of greens) shakes, and beverages, is printed on the wall by the registers.

After placing the order, you are given a number and then make your way to sit at a winding counter or a communal table and eagerly await the order.
