Driving past, this restaurant may just look like another run off the mill hamburger joint. But…read moredon't let looks fool you- this restaurant is easily one of the best in Decatur for a plethora of reasons. -Food The food here is absolutely amazing.

So yeah, service is pretty good. -Final Verdict If you want delicious, Krekel's is the place for you 5/5 Would Strongly Reccomend

I see why one of the other locations I rated has a poor ordering system you walk up to a bunch of…read morepeople not in a line waiting on one of the 2 windows to open to ask who is next. Probably the worst ordering system I've ever encountered. In fact some jerk cut in front of me and another person because of this failed system. They don't even have any literature explaining this poor system either. Finally get my order in and take a seat, ordered the triple cheeseburger and fries and a coke. It didn't take long to get and have to say, food was good. The burger seemed a tad smaller than other locations. Food was a more expensive than other locations too, Springfield location is the worst and most expensive though. They don't have indoor seating, fyi. I would return, but would recommend preordering to avoid their poor service.

Luckily, you should be able to see the bright red barn in the corner of the parker lot with it's inviting menu and delicious smells! Vern and Sue are the owners, and they just opened to the public! He, a former restaurant owner, and she, a chef and business woman, are starting this new food truck (barn on a trailer) and have an incredible menu! They have an assortment of tenderloins, fries, friend chicken, fried catfish, catfish nuggets, burgers, and tons of flavors of snow cones! Most items come as sandwiches or dinners. This is all fresh and made to order so pop into the liquor store, play a couple slots or grab an adult beverage inside while you wait. They do have drinks for sale too but get the snow cone for $2- it will be just as refreshing as a beverage! Everything is very reasonably priced for a local business and if you have $10, you won't go away hungry from here! Don't be surprised if they have some rotating special menu items, but check their facebook page for specials and special events where Sue will be dishing up Snow Cones around town! https://www.facebook.com/The-Burger-BarnSues-Snow-Cones-100681015550120 Catfish Sandwich: Holy Catfish, this thing was huge! We got 2 of the biggest, juiciest filets of catfish I've ever seen and I swear this is the best I've ever had! Still drooling over the amazing cornbread breading and perfectly deep-fried moist catfish. Mmm! Fried Chicken: This breading is incredible! It must have some sort of leavening agent as it is so light and fluffy and crispy goodness (but isn't heavy like chicken chains!). Would 100% recommend to anyone trying to get a fix of a chicken sandwich; You can customize all the toppics (pickles, onions, tomato slices, etc. plus packets of every sauce you can imagine!). I loved it and would definitely go back! Highly recommend 5 Stars!

This chain restaurant (connected to the Decatur Holiday Inn) is clean with plentiful seating. While…read morethe staff is minimal, they are attentive and great at multitasking when large groups arrive. My burger was cooked exactly to my specifications (medium, little bit of pink) which provided a juicy base to the build-your-own additions. Fries were solid and I appreciated the pickle spear to round out the dish. I started with wings, but their buffalo sauce is...unique. I cannot say I love the flavor; there's something off about it for me. I have a similar feeling with Red Robin's buffalo sauce, so if that doesn't bother ya, you're probably fine!

Outside- yes, it used to be a pretty rough bar but was taken over and made into a great tavern. The burgers coming out on brioche grilled buns looked amazing! Wasn't too hungry so went with pick two on the apps. What I liked? The pick two isn't limited.. like they tell you which couple items you can pick. That's small but greatly appreciated bonus. Went with the clam strips (good) and the house battered mushroom slices. And get with their house made ranch! In this cold weather, they also have a great fireplace in the middle, so wherever you sit, you're getting some heat. Looking forward to coming back for dinner! If you want to support a local, family owned restaurant, this is your place!

They were fine. Menu says house made ranch but it was ok. Didn't really taste like homemade / house made. Wings were good size. Got the garlic parm. Tasted like most other places. My complaint is that they tasted a little under cooked. There wasn't any pink but it was border line. Then tried the traditional "hotshots famous " wing sauce. But.. I got them "trashed". Which is double dipped and fried. I really wanted to like these but they just didn't taste like traditional buffalo sauce (franks hot sauce, butter and vinegar). But the biggest issue was the up-charge. The menu says for trashed, it's "$2 extra" but.... I was charge $2/wing! I hope mgmt fixes that. With all that said, I'd like to try again but maybe a burger next time.
