is one of Denver's last remaining homegrown fast-food eateries, complete with a drive-thru and a list of burgers that range from simple to silly. For a pure taste of nostalgia, the Junior cheeseburger does the job, but on the opposite end, there's the Royal, stacked with pastrami in addition to all the standard burger toppings.
