"The restaurant should be called Mo’s Famous Burgers. The cheese burger combo meal is the favorite here. A quarter pound or better beef patty, cooked on the flat top long enough to get a little crispness going, covered with a slice of cheese, with fresh lettuce, chopped onion and pickle wrapped in a soft burger bun. Add a generous portion of crinkle cut fries, and a refillable serve yourself soft drink to make for a bargain priced at $11.90. The restaurant is a neighborhood favorite and the burgers are the main event. A perpetual daily special. Many other reviewers have a long relationship with the other special, the Country Fried Steak Sandwich. The little old guy that owns this restaurant is named Mohamad. He has a small efficient operation in the kitchen. You can watch him work behind the steamed up plexiglass partition. Looks like a mad scientist with his face mask on, intensely focused on creating a new species He shows the beef patties no mercy. When they start to sizzle on the hot flat top grill, he pushes down on the burger press with all of his weight (which ain’t much) driving the heat into the patty and ensuring that nice crisp finish. At the same time, he is watching the fryers closely as the raw potatoes evolve to a pleasant golden brown. Everything comes together as it has for thousands of times and a great meal is delivered to your table. Mohamad said the business was named Karl’s when he bought it and it had changed owners a couple of times before that, but it has always been Karl’s. He said it cost too much to get a new sign, so he just stuck with the name. Karl may have originally made the restaurant famous, but he is history. Mohamad has been keeping it famous. Let’s call it “Mo’s Famous Burgers” from now on.
