Since we first wrote about the Electric Cheetah (read the original article here), the restaurant has upped its game even more, including daily specials that go above and beyond what a “normal” restaurant would even consider.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you burgers with endless fries and malts!

While the Electric Cheetah is known for great, local food, they kick it back to the 50s every Wednesday night. For $12.50, diners can receive one burger, unlimited regular or sweet potato fries, and an assortment of ice cream malts. Being the sweet-tooth I am, I took every advantage of this opportunity that I could.

I started out with a rich, chocolate malt. I expected it to be stirred and ready for me to drink, but was pleasantly surprised when I saw that I had to do some work. At first I was curious as to why, but then I realized it — the restaurant wanted us to see what was so good about these malts…thick ice cream, great-tasting syrups…what a great combination.

When my burger and fries came, I dove right in. The sweet potato fries were paired with parmesan buttermilk and garlic dressings, which were a perfect complement to the well-seasoned fries. We added their dill dressing into the mix later on, which offered a more flavorful alternative. The fries were perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned, and perfectly…perfect.

By that time, I had forgotten all about the actual entree I had ordered — the burger! Served on a fairly large bun, I topped mine with tomatoes and swiss cheese. It was great with the meal; not too heavy, and not over-burdening with a ton of flavor either.

I was amazed with the amount of food we got for that little of price. By the time I had finished eating, my $12.50 bill was made of one burger, two orders of sweet potato fries and three malts (chocolate, caramel, and strawberry; though chocolate was by far the best). All in all, it gives diners a great alternative to what the Electric Cheetah does best, without any stripping of quality or service.
