I ate lunch here, and it was like going back in time. There really aren’t many places like this nowadays, and it’s kind of a shame. The Workingman’s Friend has decent prices in a no-frills atmosphere that’s very down to earth. It is cash-only, so please be aware. I got a cheeseburger with onion rings, and it was delicious. I savored every bite, and I can see why the place is so busy. I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a good meal at a reasonable price.

Working Man’s Friend is best known for its burgers.
What they do, they do extended well.
I went with a double bacon cheese burger w/ lettuce, tomato, catsup, and mayo. And a frosty cold beer.
It was magnificent.
The hours are a bit more limited than similar places and they are packed at prime lunch time… good to check the schedule before you go.
Perhaps the best burgers in the Midwest !

Waited a very long time come here not only for the burger, but also for the history. If you’ve never been, I recommend doing that. As for the burger, I had the Giant Double. The patties were perfect with excellent crust, lacy crisp edges, and still juicy. I’ve read negative things about the service, but out of the 5 times I have I’ve gotten very friendly and prompt service. If you’ve never imbibe, don’t pass on the missive, frosty drafts on tap. I 100% recommend this place for the food and the history.

Workingman’s Friend is about as honest as you can get in the lunchtime blue-collar diner space. They don’t pretend to be some overpriced, flashy restaurant. The restaurant was busy for the Friday lunch rush. Waitresses were doing a great job of taking orders, cleaning tables and welcoming new patrons. I ordered the double cheeseburger with fries and my wife ordered the Diet Plate. The smashburgers were cooked to perfection! Great seasoning without overpowering the beef flavor, crispy edges without being overdone. Burger toppings were very fresh. My fries were good, but not outstanding. The veggies on my wife’s diet plate were very fresh and delicious. I felt like the prices were very good for the quality of service and quality of food!

Fantastic spot for a smashed-style double cheeseburger. Cash only. This restaurant is a hidden gem, serving up authentic burgers just minutes from downtown. Old school vibe!!! Customer service was decent.

This. Is a dive bar. Know that going in. Kinda grungy on the outside, smells of fryer grease. A Red Robin it’s not. Which is why I love it. This place has probably the best smash burger I’ve had in a long time. Edges so crisp it practically crunches when you chew it. Fresh fries. Friendly but busy staff. And lots of regulars coming and going.
The soda comes in cans, but the beer comes in chalices. No joke. So come here for a burger, if you can. They know what they’ve got here, and are only open very limited hours to serve it. It’s worth making the time for.
