Here was this 50&#8217;s looking diner with lots of neon and stainless steel and cutouts of celebrities. I really didn&#8217;t know what to expect. Was this going to be another Johnny Rocket Hollywood diner with instantly forgettable pre-fab burgers and malts?<\/p>\n<p>I was bracing myself for a 21st Century version of a 50&#8217;s diner when I was greeted cheerfully by Bain, a young man in a Cheeburger T-shirt who made me feel right at home.<br \/><a onclick=\"window.open(this.href, '_blank', 'width=300,height=345,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false\" href=\"http:\/\/ripples.typepad.com\/photos\/uncategorized\/2008\/12\/02\/bain.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" height=\"115\" width=\"100\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/www.making-ripples.com\/images\/2008\/12\/02\/bain.jpg\" title=\"Bain\" alt=\"Bain\" style=\"margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px; float: left;\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<br \/>It took only seconds to realize that this was &quot;real&quot; burger joint, with Black Angus burgers cooked to order and a choice of twenty eight toppings. I also could have any of nine different cheeses on my cheeburger.&nbsp; By the way, it actually is &quot;Cheeburger&quot;, that&#8217;s not a misspelling.<\/p>\n<p>I ordered the &quot;Semi-Serious Cheeburger&quot; with cheddar cheese and a few seconds later the girl in the kitchen put my cheeburger on the grill and good things started to happen.<\/p>\n<p><a onclick=\"window.open(this.href, '_blank', 'width=500,height=486,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false\" href=\"http:\/\/ripples.typepad.com\/photos\/uncategorized\/2008\/12\/02\/cheeburger2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" height=\"243\" width=\"250\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/www.making-ripples.com\/images\/2008\/12\/02\/cheeburger2.jpg\" title=\"Cheeburger Cheeburger dining area\" alt=\"Cheeburger2\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 5px 5px; float: right;\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nWhile my cheeburger was being prepared, I read the menu and discovered that <a href=\"http:\/\/cheeburger.com\/stepinside\/stepinside.asp\">Cheeburger Cheeburger<\/a> was started on Sanibel Island back in 1986. It has since spread to more than sixty locations, but I had never heard of them even though they have been in the Tanglewood mall for about a year.<\/p>\n<p>When my &quot;Semi-Serious Cheeburger&quot; arrived, I fell on it and enjoyed one of the best cheeseburgers I have had in many years. The Black Angus beef was excellent and the service was cheerful and fast.&nbsp; I plan on visiting Cheeburger Cheeburger often when I am visiting Roanoke. It offers fine burgers at affordable prices and the staff makes you feel welcome.<br \/><a onclick=\"window.open(this.href, '_blank', 'width=400,height=315,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false\" href=\"http:\/\/ripples.typepad.com\/photos\/uncategorized\/2008\/12\/02\/gabeandtraci.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" height=\"157\" width=\"200\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/www.making-ripples.com\/images\/2008\/12\/02\/gabeandtraci.jpg\" title=\"Gabe the manager and Traci my waitress\" alt=\"Gabeandtraci\" style=\"margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px; float: left;\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<br \/>I think that says it all.<\/p>\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t done it already, check out their <a href=\"http:\/\/cheeburger.com\/stepinside\/stepinside.asp\">website<\/a>.
