Cheeburger Cheeburger's staff slides burgers topped with everything from banana peppers to black olives across a counter emanating pink lights amid a 1950s diner atmosphere. Burgers weighing anywhere from 5.5–20 ounces—the same weight range as the average child's unidentifiable-object collection—pad buns with 100% Angus beef in manifestations such as the half-pound patty melt, with swiss cheese melting into a gooey goodness ($7.99). Sautéed onions loop together atop the grilled portobello mushroom melt, delivered on a bun of toasted rye ($6.99). The kitchen team health-consciously cooks french fries in peanut oil ($2.49); scoops of Edy’s ice cream plunge into root beer or Dr. Pepper for dessert floats ($3.99). As milkshake maestros whip up thick dessert concoctions from 81 flavors, a cutout of Marilyn Monroe watches from the exposed brick wall. Guests can also sip shakes or bite into juicy burgers at sidewalk tables, on which the sun often tosses its waves of electromagnetic radiation at 671 million miles per hour.
