As many can probably tell from previous entries (See Big Orange), I am a huge fan of the hamburger. Despite its name, I think there is something distinctly American about a ground slab of beef decorated with vegetables, smothered with cheese, and wedged in bread. I can't help but imagine that when people think "American Food" they think apple pie, hot dog, and hamburger.
There are lots of ways to do hamburgers, and I won't claim to know which is best. I will, however, go out on a limb and say that diner style burgers, cooked on a griddle in their own juices, are some of the best. And as far as that goes, I think David's has one of the best burgers in town. Apart from delicious, bottomless (yes, bottomless) fries, good custard and superb service, the burgers are just plain great. They are seasoned perfectly (taking them up a notch over Five Guys), and overall, the place isn't super expensive (again, over Five Guys).
I recommend stopping in an tying on a burger. This is a local joint (locations in Conway and Little Rock) that could soon see itself franchised, so get in while the gettin' is local. And yes, it's better than Five Guys. I'll explain my beef with them later (pun intended).

Menu: ★★★☆☆
It's a burger joint, so really, you can't expect an extensive, vegetarian friendly menu. They do have salads and fries, but really, do you go to a burger place for that? Good range of toppings to build your burger. Lots of frozen custards and a good kids menu.
Food: ★★★☆☆
This is the kind of place you go when you don't want to cook at home. Can you make this burger at home? Probably. But you would have to grind the steaks into burger yourself. Ingredients are fresh and tasty. They are not scared of seasoning. The fries are just a little on the limp side, but have great flavor, and they are bottomless.
Atmosphere: ★★★☆☆
A well put together diner atmosphere. Order at the counter, they bring your food. Friendly and family oriented.
Service: ★★★★★
Probably one of the stand outs. They have servers and managers who circulate bringing hot fresh fries and providing refills for drinks. They genuinely seem to care that you are happy. Friendly and quick.
