    Loaded regular cheeseburger. Delish!

    Everything was so yummy! People were sweet. Cute country old school feel. Gave my pooch a slice of bacon even.

    I've wanted to stop in here for years but have always been deterred by the line. Today, we finally stopped in & I'm glad we did! I see a lot of the previous reviews were complaining about quality, but when I stop at a little roadside joint like this one I'm not expecting a gourmet burger so keep that in mind for my review. I'm trying to be as realistic & fair as possible. Yes, the wait was long, but you're getting made to order food, hence the wait. Nothing is sitting under a heat lamp waiting for you to order it. We got 4 burgers, multiple hotdogs, multiple sides, and 4 drinks. It took about 40 minutes, but we showed up when there was already a line & ordered lots of food so it was okay. The staff was extremely friendly. It was 2 ladies that were super nice & patient. They were understanding when we made substitutions or changed our orders. They also noticed I had 2 dogs in the back of the car & asked if they were allowed to have a treat. Service means a lot to me & they were excellent. The whole bag of food which probably weighed 10 pounds was only $37 too. You can't get a burger meal for less than $5 at many other places. The food was good. Was it a waygu/steakhouse/gourmet burger? No, but it satisfied my craving and was fresh. I got a burger with mustard, lettuce, onion & pickles & would order it again. The extreme fries were fresh & tasty, the tots were excellent, and the hotdogs were well made with lots of toppings. Our orders came out correct & without mistake, they even had thrown in some extra stuff in the bag (not sure if on purpose or by accident). Overall, I think this place is worth a visit. It's a fresher/nicer(& cheaper) alternative to something like a drive in burger joint. If you don't want to wait, maybe go somewhere else. But, I'm sure if you're first in line or show up when there isn't a line then you'll be fine & experience a typical fast food wait time. The staff was great & I feel better supporting somewhere like that versus a McDonald's or another chain. Also, know what you're getting into & don't be unrealistic. If you are picky, prefer things done your way, or want higher quality food, then stay at home or go to a sit down restaurant. I think Burger Shack is doing great & will continue to be successful!

    So good. And the prices are so great, we ordered a bunch of different food. Everything was good, fries, burgers, chicken sandwich, chili cheese dogs & hot dogs for the pups. It was worth waiting in line (in our cars, so who can complain?!) Lines form on each side of the building going opposite ways.

    Stopped in after being on the road all day and ordered a chili cheese dog. The name Burger Shack perfectly describes here as it is a small building with only drive through windows. Service was good and quick. They certainly embrace the age old wisdom of extending service with a smile. My hot dog was certainly well covered with chili and cheese and considering that it was $2.00, it was a good value. I have to knock it down to three stars simply because their hot dog chili had beans in it. I am a bit of a hot dog snob and that is an abomination.

    Always have to stop at Burger Shack whenever in town visiting my in-laws. Never disappoints, always tasty and at such a good price!

    Good food, great service and prices. There may be a wait but it's worth it! Very thin burgers so order more if you want.

    The best Philly cheesesteak sandwich in town. Also, the chili cheese nachos are to die for! Everything here is so good!

    Decent food, low prices. It's also nice to be able to drive up and get anything from a cheeseburger to vegetable soup with cornbread.

    They've got a chili cheese dog I suspect might be more user friendly than the chili dog.

    If you're looking for a true small-town, southern spot, Jim's Family Restaurant in Somerville is…read morejust that. Nothing fancy, nothing over the top--just good food and friendly folks. We stopped in on a Sunday right around the church crowd rush, and the place was packed. Lots of people were lined up for the buffet, but even with a party of seven, we were seated fairly quickly. Our server was the sweetest southern lady, complete with a warm smile and southern drawl. She made sure everyone in our group was taken care of and couldn't have been kinder. I had breakfast, and while it was definitely a little more "southern-style" than what I'm used to, it was good and filling. Prices were very reasonable, which made the whole experience even better. A couple of notes: they only accept cash (no cards), and the parking lot is on the smaller side. Inside, it's simple--tables, chairs, a working kitchen, and the kind of atmosphere where you're bound to run into someone you know. Overall, it's exactly what you'd expect from a small-town family restaurant--local food, local people, and a welcoming southern vibe.

    This is your typical diner serving diner-quality food. Definitely a small-town experience with…read moresuper friendly southern charm exuding from everyone working there. I had a burger & fries and my wife had breakfast (sausage, eggs, pancakes). My wife really enjoyed her breakfast meal and I thought my burger and fries met my expectations from a small town diner. (i.e. I wasn't expecting some unique beef blend with a nice sear and fresh cut fries.) I'd definitely recommend this place if you're passing through like we were. It's not going to blow your tastebuds away but you'll leave full and be greeted with authentic southern hospitality from the employees.
