I have a a similar yet different (long lines, can take a while to get
in-and-out, if you don't understand what you're supposed to do) experience
with "Father's Office" in Santa Monica.

My family member took us out for this "8th Wonder" [burger.] I found the
experience worth going once, especially when he picked up the entire tab,
but I didn't enjoy the harsh egalitarian attitude from servers.

There is a no-ketchup-rule, which is pushed at every opportunity. Since
SWMBO ruins her french fries with assorted mayo-concoctions all the time,
that little mos (singular of mores) didn't bother her even slightly. The one
thing that did impress her was FO cooked her burger the way she likes it
(without turning it into an oversized hockey puck.)

While the burgers are great, you really have to enjoy Floor Trading, Car
Sales, or Insurance Adjusting to fit in.
