Day time at the Nite Owl

The Nite Owl Drive-In, 830 E Layton Ave. in Milwaukee WI is one of those places on my list of gotta try burger joints. Cash only, no checks or plastic. There's a walk-up window and an restaurant where you can sit down and hang out. The restaurant doubles as a club house for the Cheaters Car Club of Milwaukee. The club hosts car show a couple of times a year in the parking lot at the Nite Owl.

Enough of the background stuff, let's talk burgers! I ordered the Jumbo Cheese Burger, onions, ketchup  & mustard. $3.90, not too pricey. Because they actually create the burger specific to your order, it takes a couple of minutes. The windows are tinted so you really can't see what's going on in the kitchen. I did notice a set of heavily tattooed forearms moving about back there. Well, the burger arrived and jumbo is a very accurate description. Obviously hand formed, it was delicious. I didn't order any Ice Cream but, judging by the quality of the burger, it's good stuff.

Vintage scene all the way, tasty and fresh cooked per order. Also, very reasonable.

As for a rating on this one... 4.5 Stars out of 5.
