The SceneA comfortable, yet upscale, shrine to the quintessential American snack, the dimly lit, tan- and red-toned dining room serves local businesspeople and tourists who require more than yellow arches for atmosphere. The FoodBurgers of all types are the extent of the menu. You can't go wrong with the Rare Classic, a juicy, flavorful beef patty on toasted brioche, or dressier versions, like the pesto-mozzarella burger or the Mexican, topped with spicy black-bean spread, guacamole and chipotle-chili ketchup. Low-carbers can even enjoy a bun-less Salisbury steak with mushroom gravy. There's also a crab-and-shrimp burger and a portobello burger, topped with cremini mushrooms. Experiment with sides: Replace traditional french fries with a basket of "frickles" (deep-fried pickles).
