Shout out to reviewer Ken M. for influencing me to try Chuck's Place ......you were right!…read more I had the large cheeseburger with everything and onion rings. My partner went with the wimpy burger ( not a wimpy burger.. 1.2 lbs) and cajun fries. From the moment you walk in, you know you've found a true local spot. It's small, cozy and decorated with fun signs and memorabilia. The staff are amazing, friendly, welcoming, and just the kind of people you want to see when you're about to dive into comfort food. Even at 1:30 pm, that in between lunch/dinner time, the place was steadily busy. And now I know why. The onion rings? Fantastic. I'm an onion ring snob and these were fresh, crispy, and legit. no frozen batter here, and none of that "pull the whole onion out in one bite" nonsense ( I hate that). The fries were hot, crisp and perfectly seasoned. And the burger is 100% beef, juicy, and packed with flavor. This is a local gem and I'm so glad we went. We'll definitely be back.

Loaded Volcano- almost like fair food ribbon fries, only 100 times better and fresh. Breaded Mushroom were great. Full fresh mushrooms lightly breaded. We picked Kahuna sauce and garlic parasmean. Both were good. Garlic probably our favorite. Burgers were cooked perfect. Sauce, cheese and toppings add great flavor. It is counter service and they bring food out to table. Staff friendly. Decor is Hawaiian based, a fun twist for such a rural area.

My son ordered the big kahuna and got it with fries. He seemed to enjoy it. My sister got a burger with a single patty. I'd say that the single patty is for young kids and light eaters. I think most adults would want two burger patties. The waffle fries were good. Some of the larger waffle fries could maybe have used another minute in the fryer. But they were good.

Its Friday night in downtown St. Elmo…read more Google says that this small restaurant closed at 7 pm on Friday. That's wrong. They're open until 8 on Friday and Saturday. Tonigt they have a smoked meat menu, with BBQ brisket, ribs, pulled pork, mashed potatoes, sweet potato fries, basic salads and more. Locals know and seem to enjoy this is small town restaurant on Main Street. Glad I found this restaurant, and didn't settle for typical highway chain restaurant or truck stop.
