Purpose / Function
Although the chain was founded in 1951 in Coast City, California (an area that was absorbed into Greater Los Angeles in 1977), this location in Brooklyn, NYC, NY was the second constructed by its founders. It is now the oldest surviving Big Belly Burgers location of the entire international chain: it still has dedicated roller-skating lanes between parking rows in its parking lot, it has the 1950s style decor on the main floor's interior and a high-capacity galley on the second floor of the building. Cold storage of raw materials is built into the basement with thick walls that once contained pipes filled with ice.
To set foot inside this venerable fast food joint is to walk into a different era!
Architecture
Every Big Belly Burger location, new or old in construction, retro or modern in theming, has certain distinct features:
One wall of each building has an exterior walk-up counter on the northeastern side for visitors to place a takeout order without entering the structure. The pickup location will be either on the same side of the building but down near the far corner, or else it will be around the corner of the building on the next contiguous side. Usually the pickup location will be another window and counter to the east, depending on how regional through traffic tended to flow when the location was initially built.
In the case of this particular location, since it is an independent building rather than part of a larger structure, the walk-up ordering counter is on the eastern wall about two feet away from the northern corner. The pickup counter is on the same eastern wall, about two feet away from the southern corner.A few "Boardwalk Big Belly Burger" locations exist on the edge of foot-traffic-only areas near public beaches or highly popular recreational parks. These have walkup counters only for service. They have wireframe tables with attached benches all sheltered from direct sun by standard beach umbrellas.
They tend to be round buildings, styled to resemble the signature Belly Buster sandwich from the menu with wrapping intact.They also tend to be hurricane-proof, fireproof, and blizzard-proof. The surrounding tables might succumb to a disaster, but the building itself should hold up.In a settlement with a population of less than one million residents, most Big Belly Burger locations will have a drive-in section of the attached parking lot, where orders are placed via intercom system built into a menu board and the food is brought out by wait staff on roller skates. Dedicated channels, wide enough for a pair of skaters to pass one another, are built into this area, with regularly spaced concrete poles set to block most motor vehicle traffic from endangering the skaters. The concrete poles support a wireframe arch with a translucent plastic cover to keep birds and precipitation off the skaters and the food.
At the Brooklyn location, the employees' door to the skating channel is in the center of the northern wall. Restaurant locations built later have usually put the Skaters' Door closer to the pickup counter so it will not be so close to the cash register.Either the drive-through or else the main entrance to the dining area (if an indoor dining area exists) will be as far away from the two exterior counters as possible.
Locations with interior dining areas, such as this one in Brooklyn, do not have a drivethrough in addition to their drive-in area. Except for the Brooklyn location, all of these locations were constructed in the first decade of the 21st century when the market began to pivot away from expediency and toward higher quality of food plus sustainable agricultural sources.Drivethrough service offers a significantly more limited menu than what is available to those who park for service in the drive-in area. These locations were mostly constructed from the late 1950s through the early 1990s, and may have been remodeled several times over the decades.Every Big Belly Burger location has a special Third Counter for exterior service to customers, with a limited menu available at it via prepaid Big Belly Bucks account card only! Out of immediate sight-line from the other service counters, this option exists for Masked Metahumans only.
At the Brooklyn location, this Third Counter is on the southern wall, not far from the pickup counter.

It does not either!
We triple-checked!

For sure. Orange soda does not react to "evil" OR "superspeed"!
Except for that one time.
Okay, yes, sure, that one time. That's true.
Silverwing Profile by CB Ash
Dammit, David, how'd you know about that one time?
"Streaky", there, has a tell. Pass me some of those pepper rings.
When I am out on patrol, Big Belly Burger fills me up in a flash! Highly recommend the superspeedster special, to go.
