Motoraunt
The Motoraunt is home to the Monster Burger, descibed on the menu as "two pounds of reality". The burger is as big as a dinner plate (about 12 inches across) and comes with a equally large bun, a half dozen slices of cheese and a variety of toppings. Even though I had heard about it many times, I went for the first time recently and was blown away. It offers the best burgers in town, as well as homemade fries and potato chips. They also make their own red and white wine, which is also quite tasty. A Monster burger will only cost you $19.95, and is enough to feed four adults easily. more
