Emma Jean's Holland Burger Cafe

This blog is getting boring with one good review after another, but that's part of the fun of eating at non-generica restaurants. Sure, every once in a while you get places like the taco shop in the old A&W, but most of the time there is great stuff to be had by eating at the small places.

Yesterday we had lunch at the historic Holland Burger Cafe, located on old route 66. We had eaten there once before, years ago, and weren't enamored, but yesterday was a different story. I had a ham and egg sandwich with cheese. They served it with lettuce, tomato, onions, mayo, the works! I had never even thought of eating that sandwich that way, but it was really tasty. I would order it again. Dave had the Brian Burger, which he quite liked, and Daniel had a turkey sandwich that was something like having a pound of sliced turkey on toast. All of us enjoyed our lunch quite a bit.

It's not a place I would eat at every day, but it was very good. Because it's old, it has charm, but it's also rather small. The place was full by the time we left, and our table was immediately occupied when we stood up. If you are looking for a good sandwich shop, you could do far worse than Holland Burger.
