Located at 675 North Franklin Street convenient to the late night bars is The Burger Joint. Where did they think of that name?
The hours are perfect for those that stumble from the nearby dance clubs on Friday and Saturday staying open until sometimes 5 a.m. Watch out for the early closings though from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday through Thursday.

Start off with a soup of the day, the cheese enchilada soup was delicious when I was there. Pretty much tasted exactly like its namesake.
The owners of The Joint are of Greek ancestry so don't miss the Crazy Greek complete with gyros on top of the burger and feta spread. This is a half pound burger with no sesame seeds on the buns thank you very much!

Achilles the owner's nephew was adorable and had my friend drooling even before he bit into The Sonoma (a turkery burger with avocado.) The Hot Mess with chili and onions is just that so wear a bib and The Hangover has a fried egg on top.
I will take the Wild Cowboy (that's BBQ and cheddar) from the Jersey Shore looking cook any day, fist pump!

For dessert finish things off with a chocolate milkshake because hopefully you stopped counting calories at this point!
The decor and menu are kept simple so as long as you are looking for a tasty late night snack The Burger Joint is the place for you.
