Cream Burger

Hamburger restaurant · Greater Third Ward

@eater

"The unassuming Cream Burger is one of the oldest take-away burger stands in the city, still run by the family that founded it in 1961. Like the modest red and white building, the menu is also basic — sometimes all you need is a hot, juicy burger topped with bright yellow mustard. There’s also ice cream, as the name implies — milkshakes, specifically — and Frito pies, freshly-cut french fries and a few other staples. Bring cash — this spot doesn’t take credit cards." - Brittanie Shey, Kayla Stewart
