Tootsie’s Diner

Seriously the best burger in the NN. Cute little place in Callao, does a lot of take-out business but there are tables inside where you can dine-in. They have a pretty large menu and I've tried several things. The standout is the burger, which are clearly hand-made patties and not frozen, they also grill the bun which makes it even better. Their burger blows the other local restaurants away. The other surprise was their very good crabcake sandwich. I'm picky about crabcakes so I wasn't expecting much, but it is quite good. The prices are also amazingly reasonable for the quality. Staff is always super friendly. Honestly, it's the only place in area that I go back to often.

I met a coworker here for lunch, as I had not been before. My father-in-law told me that they had the best burgers, so I ordered a Bacon Cheeseburger. That thing was HUGE! It was delicious, and the fries were nice and crispy, too. My colleague ordered a crab cake sandwich, and while I can't speak to its taste directly, it was just as big as the burger. She devoured it, so it had to be good! I definitely want to stop in again and try something else.The theme inside was neat. I liked the vinyl records and the "old timey" vibe. The staff were super friendly and chatty. There isn't a lot of space inside to sit down, just a few booths and tables, but there's picnic tables outside. The only real criticism I had, if it even counts, is that the parking was weird. I wasn't sure where to park. Of course, now that I've been, I know you can just park anywhere, and I definitely WILL be going back! I hope this place sticks around for a while!Edit: I forgot to mention prices. Even with inflation and everything going up, I thought the prices here were completely reasonable. (Especially given the size of my burger!)

Just made my inaugural visit and had the mushroom Swiss burger. It was very good and I took the combo that came with fries and a drink. They have some pretty cool plans to expand into the garage area and have a bar and live music. Should be fun!

I was really hoping for a better meal and this was my second visit if you count the Food Truck visit a few months ago. Both times I got a Cheeseburger and Both times it was cooked so well done that it's hard to swallow because it is so dry. I asked and my wife and she heard me because we both laughed about the mustard. But I said I wanted ketchup, onions, and a little mustard. It was slathered in mustard and very little ketchup. I am not sure if it actually had a full slice of cheese on it or not because the meat overwhelmed the cheese along with I really could only taste mustard. On the plus side the burger was huge almost a half pound but if it doesn't taste good, what's the point? My wife got the grilled chicken salad and it was good so for the salad 4 stars. They gave wrong dressing and it didn't register until she put on it.This could be really good if they would quit burning up their bugers.
