    Bacon Cheese Fries, Onion Rings

    Always such a great experience at this cookout. We went stupidly late and although nervous of the quality, it all came out extremely hot and fresh. I was so pleased to find out that they would put bacon on the cheese fries, definitely a go to from here on out. The service is always quick and friendly. No interior to review but if they had it, it would be 10/10.

    Not really sure what's going on tonight. It's not busy being that we pulled right up to the ordering menu. Took almost two minutes to be greeted at the window and the intercom system had so much feedback it took two people to take our order. Ordered two BBQ Plates to keep it short. Only thing I'm satisfied with is that i received my food in less that five minutes. Smells good tho

    Hamburgers. Cajun fries and cheese balls.

    My friend recommended this place to me and I must say, I was not super impressed. I do like the fact that they are open very late, so they can fill that late night fast food craving you have. I honestly feel bad that I didn't like the food because the customer service was some of the best I've seen from fast food in the Norfolk area (which really isn't saying much haha). I went to the drive thru and the worker seemed cheerful, and when he forgot my drink, he quickly apologized and provided me my drink, and was very fast in providing me honey mustard for my fries when I requested. (Which I must say, their honey mustard is actually really good) As far as the food, it definitely wasn't bad, it wasn't great, it was.. okay. I ordered a bacon burger with Cajun fries and cheese bites as well as a cheesecake shake. The burger didn't have any mayo, mustard, or ketchup.. luckily I had some in my hotel.. maybe I'm mistaken but don't burgers usually come with some sort of sauce inside so it's not just a dry burger? Aside from that, it was a good burger. The Cajun fries were probably the best part, the seasoning they use is really good; however, they were a slight soggy for my liking. The cheese bites were very mediocre. Once again, not bad, but not great. The cheesecake shake was good, but my goodness was it thick. I mean my straw was completely flat from me sucking so hard trying to get a sip. I will say I am picky with milkshakes when they are too thick, but I mean, if I want something so thick that I can't drink it and have to use a spoon, I'll just order ice cream... haha Would I come here again on my own? Maybe if it was super late and nothing else was open. Would I come here if my friend wanted to? Probably. Food: 2/5 Customer Service: 4/5 Average Score: 3/5 Bonus points for having some really good honey mustard and being open late +.5 Final Score: 3.5/5

    Street signage

    No dine in. Just a small fast food kitchen in a narrow parking lot with good street signage. Double drive thru was lightning fast though we were the only car on Saturday at 630pm. Janae patiently took our order, confirmed it for accuracy, inquired what sauces were needed, shared our total, and instructed us to drive up for payment. Window was on the passenger side; food was received seconds after payment was given. 1/4 lb cheeseburger tray with nuggets, fries and shake (x2) was $15.50. Neither cheap or sky high for the quantity of fair value food. Not spectacular but my kids like it, especially the custom shakes (aka ticking gut bombs). Parking lot was clean and well lit. Only one point of entry or exit.

    Hair in the food

    Ordered something with the cheese bites as a side and there was literally so much hair stuck through the crust I could pick multiple bites up with a single strand and when I took the food back the main manager was super difficult about the whole situation. Worst cookout i have ever been to the location isn't terrible but it is difficult to get to from the main road depending on which way your coming from.

    3 nuggets and maybe 11 French fries. This is the only location that seems to do this. I couldn't believe this tray. HORRIBLE
    Tashi B.

    HORRIBLE! I've been to 3 other locations and enjoyed the food and the portion of food. This location was a huge disappointment. I couldn't believe the lack of food that was in the tray. They should be embarrassed to give someone that little amount of French fries. I'm never going back and I wouldn't recommend this location to anyone. I also ordered another tray with hush puppies and it was hardly any in the tray. The quesadillas might have had 4 strands of chicken equivalent to strands of hair. It should have been called a cheese quesadilla in my opinion. This was definitely a poorly managed location with staff who aren't equipped to prepare food and or provide decent portions to customers. The people at the drive thru were nice but passed the food along with no care. Soda almost spilled, food tilted over smh it was a mess.

    So pulled away from the drive thru came home only to Realize there Are ABSOLUTELY NO FRIES!! Ridiculous

I chose the Becca Burger, without mushrooms and their Steak Diablo Fries. They make everything fresh, to order with fresh ingredients. The burger was clearly freshly hand-packed, the jalapeños were freshly sliced, not pickled. Since they make it all fresh, you might wait a few minutes longer than the typical burger joint, but that's fine considering the amazing eats you're about to enjoy. My burger came out looking beautiful and it was definitely sitting tall! The flavor was excellent! Meat was great too!! I definitely liked having their chipotle mayo on it!! Those steak Diablo fries were incredibly tasty, with a nice kick, but sooo much more flavor than heat! The fries themselves were great, perfectly crispy and tasty, but adding all those toppings truly made it special! Service was nice... I had a few questions and she was helpful with the answers. Lastly, they have birch beer here, which I loved! Highly recommend stopping in for a great burger and fries experience!!

Everyone plays on their phones through a QR code, so the room stays pretty calm. No shouting answers or chaos, just a lot of people quietly locked into trivia. I was seated immediately and ordered The Big Cheese burger. At first glance, it looked promising. The beef seemed like quality meat and not a frozen hockey puck. The vegetables were also very fresh. No sad, limp lettuce or those weird mushy tomato slices some places try to pass off as fresh. But here's where things went sideways: the patty had almost no flavor. I'm honestly not convinced it met salt at any point during its journey to the plate. It wasn't bad, just noticeably under-seasoned. For a place that positions itself as a serious burger spot, seasoning the meat feels like Burger 101. The fries were good. They offer different seasoning options, but I kept it simple with salt and pepper. I also ordered the Cheerwine sangria, which sounded like it would be something special. In reality, it mostly tasted like regular sangria that someone carbonated. Not bad, just not particularly interesting. Service was friendly and quick, which I appreciated. Overall, the meal was fine. But when your whole mission is basically "we're the burger experts," it's a little surprising when the burger tastes like the seasoning got left in the kitchen.

They were crunchy and tender on the inside. Getting to this location was super easy and they own their own parking lot which is free for patrons. If you're not able to find parking, they have plenty of paid street parking. I also want to add that they do offer discounts but to service members who are in uniform. Service members rarely ever wear their uniforms just to dine out unless they are on official orders or are working full time. I find that a bit unfortunate because the value veterans and military service members bring should be honored while they are and are not in uniform so I hope that the management changes that policy someday. They offer no other forms of discounts as I asked about teachers and emergency personnel too just to give people something additional when seeking this place out. It's still a good lunch spot tho.
