Our restaurants offer a fine mix of National and Ohio history, family values, and affordability. The hamburger is as much American as baseball and apple pie. It has played a major part in the development of American society. Menches Brothers is the only company that can claim the Original Hamburger and the Original Ice Cream Cone.

Menches Brothers Restaurants promote the unique heritage of the Menches family by showcasing the Original Hamburger recipe just as it was invented in 1885 by our great-grandfather, Charles Menches, and his brother, Frank. There is no other hamburger on the market that can substantiate such a claim. A little known fact is that the Original Hamburger indeed had its own recipe spiced with coffee and brown sugar - much different from what most Americans have tasted over the last one hundred years. The original recipe is featured at Menches Brothers Restaurants.

In addition, the family owns a unique replica of an antique cone maker that has been in use since 1905. This cone maker is used to show others how Frank and Charles invented the ice cream cone at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair.

If you have not been to one of our restaurants, we encourage you to make the journey and discover the taste of the Original Hamburger, browse through our halls of history, and enjoy some family-style food. This is American dining at its finest!
