Retro Burger & Ice Cream Arlington

Retro Burger & Ice Cream in Arlington opened a while ago after owner Bill Maund relocated his business from West Yarmouth to Arlington. The menu is simple, Hot Dogs, Burgers and Ice Cream.



The location used to be Cakes Bakery & Cafe but now hold the 19 seat Retro Burger.



They tried to do the retro diner look and did pretty well. The inside is nice and bright with cool memorabilia on the walls.



I went for the classic Menotomy ($8 half-pound, $5 quarter-pound) that is Retro’s most popular offering, a combination of lettuce, tomato, red onions, pickles, American cheese, ketchup, and yellow mustard. I ordered it in "Not man enough" size e.g. quarter pounder and also fries as an add-on. For $1.50 you get a big heap of fries, unfortunately, they were of the industrial frozen variety and they also lacked salt. Forgot to order the burger Medium rare until the order was in but wasn't too worried since the menu said the burgers are cooked medium unless otherwise ordered. Well, this one comes out well done but was still juicy and the patty was coarsely ground beef so it had some texture. The red onion was coarsely chopped onion and they, of course, were all over the place, on a burger, thinly sliced onion makes so much more sense.



You have a condiment tray on the table and they also now have a jukebox in the back to complete the retro theme.
