Description:
All-American is a Long Island institution. Most people from the Island know about it, and many have stopped there at least once. It is a small establishment, with no indoor seating and only a few outdoor tables. Most people buy and eat in their car or simply hang out in front. The lack of dining facilities hasn't hurt their business; the place is almost never empty, and in the hours surrounding lunch and dinner times the lines for the indoor order counter pack the small indoor waiting area and spill outside. Maybe All American was once, indeed, a drive-in, but in the quarter century I've known the place, you park and walk inside.
The big sellers here are the hamburgers. The basic burger is small, probably 3 ounces before cooking, and good for a quick bite (and, at 90 cents quite reasonable). Most people will want more for lunch, though: the double-header ($1.70) is two patties between a bun (no third piece of bun between them), and a double-double is what you'd imagine it is. Alternately, a quarter-pounder ($1.85) can also be ordered. Though small, the burgers are intensely flavored, served with ketchup, pickles, and finely diced onions unless specified otherwise. They don't have the flavorless, generic taste of the big chains.
