Graffiti Junktion: Tasty. Great Service.

It's in a happening location. It's where Midnight Blue used to be. Seems like they Craigslisted a spray painting event one weekend and graffiti'ed the shit out of the place- picnic benches inclusive.
Graffiti is a simple concept- hamburgers and loudness. Mix a few specialty hamburgers there, a full bar here, and a lively atmosphere. Bam! Graffiti Junktion.
I ordered the Potato Skins ($6) with cheese, chives, and bacon (there's chilli and sour cream served on the side). This was delicious but very temperature sensitive. As soon as they got cold, they were not as enjoyable. However, it must be said that the delectability of these skins lies in their semi-crisp exterior that leads to a very addictive crunch and slobber.
For the burger course, I had the Green Mountain Burger($11)- fried egg, cucumber, a ham, pickle, american cheese, tomato, and a thick slab of hamburger served with fries. The hamburger definitely had an "oo-la-la" moment. Any food lover with a soft spot for a sunny-side egg on a sandwich/burger would find virtue in this entree. I had asked for the burger to be well-done and so it was- however, I must note that it still retained its juiciness as well as a nice not-too-charry taste that the grill imparted on it.
This establishment has some of the friendliest servers around. I didn't meet one that had anything else on their mind except serving the client. Maybe it was a good day or maybe it's just fact. Great service isn't to be overlooked.
IN A NUT SHELL- This is Thornton Park. Even a burger joint isn't super cheap- no matter what the decor might say. Drinks will rack up your bill (I do love my ShockTop! - $4 on draft). The service is good- i.e., the waitresses seem to really care about you. The fries could be less salty but this place truly has an unpretentious quality where you can relax and gawk in an otherwise hoity-toity neighborhood.
