Convenient store behind tigerland. Is that place still even open?


Still open, but under different ownership. Still solid.

Several years ago my son wrestled at the riverfront arena. He was starving after the state meet and on our way out I saw a Frostops. Pulled in, got the Lotto burger, fries, a shake and a root beer. Liked the burger so much he ordered another. I think he was just hungry. Till this day when we go to BR he asks to go to Frostop. Not saying they are the best but Sometimes nostalgia get you every time.

I second that.

I ordered in and when I saw down to eat, a roach climbed up the wall and plopped itself on my table and crawled across.
Haven't stepped foot back in that place in years and will never do so.

Which is what makes it good. Plus they will cook it medium.

I really want to love Curbside, and I do like it, but the patty just doesn’t do it. Rarely has any kind of sear or any discernible taste of seasoning out the outside. The bun and toppings are such good quality; just wish they’d hit the patties with a generous salting before they hit the hot grill.

you're not wrong

Burgersmith's brisket burger has a much better patty for this reason. It's sad how much better the burger patties and fries were back when Curbside was still a truck, and even back when they were in charge of the kitchen at Barcadia.
