Retro's Good Eats

I literally just finished my meal, and the lamb burger was so amazing I had to leave feedback. It’s about an hour drive here from VA Beach, and the wife and I are here to visit the shops. Popped in for some lunch to a cozy looking retro-diner and had to try the lamb burger. It’s thick, unbelievably juicy, and so full of the flavor lamb promises. It’s topped with melty blue cheese and served on a buttery toasted bun; I am in love. Being such a drive, we are certainly going to be trying something different each time, but I am at the very least going to make a point to get one of these burgers for the return trip in the future if we don’t eat here first.

The milkshakes were awesome and the burger and sweet potato fries were good. It was reasonably priced, not too busy, and the environment was cool. Overall it was a great experience. I would be perfectly content to give it 5 stars and enthusiastic approval except for two things. I have two pet peeves that make me not want to support an establishment: forbidding non-customers from using the restroom and charging money for water (or the cup for the water which is the same thing). This place does both. Like, is it really that big of a deal of someone walking by that needs to pee stops in and uses your toilet? And charging 50¢ for a <4¢ cup is just obnoxious. If losing 4¢ every time a customer just wants water is going to put you out of business, just charge a few cents more on your food or non-water drinks? It's a bummer that those two things stain what would otherwise be a really cool place in my opinion.

Excellent, made-to-order food. Extensive menu, reasonable prices. Two dozen shake flavors! House made Limeade and Lemonade. The Sweet Potato Fries were excellent. We visited on an unseasonably hot February day, and it was crowded. The wait was a bit, but well worth it. It is in the Merchants Square area, so it was full of tourists (like us) and William & Mary folks. Indoor/Outdoor seating. This was an unexpected gem!

The mango limeade was amazing!!!! We came back two days in a row. Y’all run to get some limeade. 😍 Fish & Chips were great, the best homemade tarter sauce I have ever had. So cute.
