Editorial Review for Rhea's Take Out Foods – by Erin Behan
The Scene
Friendly banter from behind the counter keeps customers at the battered hamburger joint smiling. A row of stools hugs the small counter, while three picnic-style tables crowd the floor. Nothing's pretty here--not the salmon colored walls, the striped curtains or dark wood trelliswork--but Rhea's isn't about image. Like the sign says, "If you don't like my food, there's the door."
The Food
Biting into one of Rhea's special burgers invites memories of old-fashioned hamburger joints--real or imagined. The tasty ground beef patty gets a perfect complement with shredded lettuce and onion, mixed with mustard, ketchup and mayo and topped with tomato and cheese. Burgers come stuffed between buttered, lightly grilled white bread. Messy hot dogs can be topped with chili, slaw or cheese. A side of the hot, greasy, crispy crinkle cut fries completes the order. Breakfast also draws a crowd, with choices of sausage, bacon, egg or ham biscuits.

I love this place. It's their way or the highway but guaranteed good every time and made to order. Impossible to drive past Rhea's to go to some chain joint.
Pros: Can't pass up a landmark burger joint.
Cons: None

I love burgers, but places like McDonalds and even nicer restaurants like Fuddruckers and Fridays don't even come close to the goodness of a Rhea's special. Not even the $12 "big a$$ burger" (they won't let you write that word) from Two Urban Licks, which was very good, tops the $2.95 Rhea's special. The staff is great, too. Even though some of the servers don't speak English very well, they know enough to take your order. Plus, they are always very friendly and ready to get whatever you need. Where else can you get such a satisfying meal for less than $6? Regardless of price, this is still the best burger EVER.
