Kenai is a town of 8,000 people (2018) in Southcentral Alaska.
Just what it sounds like, a bus, where burgers are made. Being a bus, it is only open in the summer months. Popular with locals who want a nice fat burger and some fries or onion rings. Call ahead, wait times can be long, seating is a few picnic tables, many people eat in their car or take it to go.
Decent Mexican food in central Kenai.
