In the kitchen
On the grill when you order
Nothing waits under a heat lamp. The beef is pattied by hand every morning, and your burger goes on the flat-top when the ticket comes in, with cheese and bacon added right on the grill.
That is how the original Clive shop cooks, and the Altoona kitchen in the Outlets of Des Moines food court cooks the same way. Read our story.
