Pal's Sudden Service (Original)

The original Pal's, opened by Fred 'Pal' Barger in 1956 on Revere Street. Red-and-white roadside burger joint, no drive-through at this location, just a walk-up window. Pal's has been studied by business schools for its operational discipline (the only restaurant chain to win the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award), but the Sauceburger and Sweet Tea are the reason locals stop.
