When it comes to burgers, you can't go wrong with a classic. The signature Tookie's Burger is a no-frills handheld featuring all the usual suspects: lettuce, tomato, mayo, onion, and pickle.
Although the Tookie's Burger is what put the joint on the map, there are a dozen other unique creations to choose from. Whether you're in the mood for a triple-stacked bacon cheeseburger...
If red meat isn't your thing, no worries. There are turkey burgers, fish and chicken sandwiches, and fresh salads, as well. Whatever you do, don't leave without trying some of Mama Ethel's famous onion rings!
Wash it all down with a decadent milkshake - burgers and shakes are a classic pairing, after all. Flavors include classics like chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry, plus innovative concoctions like birthday cake and cookie monster.
