Service was provided by extremely friendly women. Grill closes at 12:30 and GPS showed we were set to get there at 12:33. We called from the middle of farmland while we were on our way because we were fearful we would miss the opportunity to eat here. But thankfully, the wonderful woman who answered the phone took our grill order and when we got there, it was waiting for us. We opted for burgers - me a double cheeseburger and my friend a triple hamburger - and the homemade potato salad. The burgers were huge. Honestly we each could've had a single burger and it would've been plenty. Lots of information, including their extensive menu, on their website. Be advised that they do not take cards. Cash only.

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.

Scanning the food places we picked this because it seemed to have decent ratings and a lot of reviews. Plus, you get go wrong with good ol' American cuisine. The first kind of hiccup is that they must have recently moved building. Though they moved right next to their existing building, there was no signage and we had to rely on our own eyeballs. Which almost led us into the wrong building. Not a bid deal, realistically, but it threw us for a loop. Getting inside, it was super clean. Long bar, plenty of tables, modern, many tvs for many sports. Plus, the building itself seemed rather large. A chonker of a building, if you ask me. Our hostess brought us into what seemed like the back 40 of the building and seated us next to a garage door that overlooked a cement pad that will one day be a cement pad with things on it. Not even mad. Saw a train. Here's the money shot. Have you ever been happy adjacent? Have you ever been right up to the edge, the precipice, the peak, then turn around and leave? That was kind of the ideal feeling here. The ambiance and service and general-ness of the entire place was spot on. The food itself looked top-tier. But it felt a click away from perfection. Let's look into it. As a hefty man (fat, not the garbage bag brand), I'm a man of appetizers. Also of wings. Therefore, sign me up for 12 bone in wings for an app. Split into three flavors: Carolina BBQ, Buffalo, and regular BBQ. They came out looking and smelling delicious. The sauce flavors hit hard. But I was a little let down with the dryness of the wings. I know sometimes it can be difficult to knock a wing out of the park because those damn things just want to get crispy. But I don't want to fight chewing the meat off the bone. It felt like a battle me and my mush mouth would lose. Now, from what I understood, all sides were a la cart. Color me fine with that, fatty will order anyways. Especially since I saw they offered street corn AND hushpuppies. So naturally, that's what I ordered. The hushpuppies came out and were the round kind. Which I am no stranger to. They had good flavor, good done-ness, but missed the mark on the size. If they were hush people, they would have been premies. A little sad they didn't get to experience their full potential. Now, for this part I will say I was forewarned. My server did mention the street corn came in a bowl and was served cold. I thought I was better than somebody who judged street corn by its temperature. I was wrong. It did come cold. And because of that, it was not tasty. Missed the mark completely. I did get a bonus side, your typical, run of the mill French fry. They came out and looked great. Meadiu

No, this isn't a copy or a McDowell's (shout out to the Coming To America film). This Burger King predates the international chain arriving in the USA and so I had to check it out. A friendly high-school aged young lady took my order and a few minutes later, my number was shouted. I dug into a fabulous grilled "smashed" cheeseburger and some crispy hot fries. Delicious, topped as I requested and fresh. This was nothing less than five stars tasty! [Review 1284 of 2024 - 211 in Illinois - 22307 overall]

Service was a bit slow but still okay. In terms of the food itself, most of our group ordered steak or chicken Philly sandwiches. Both varieties were good. Rather than using a traditional hoagie, the rolls were more like baguettes. I really liked that as hoagies often get too soggy from the juices whereas here the rolls stayed nice and crispy on the outside while still being soft on the inside. The highlight of this place though was the sweet potato fries. I like sweet potato fries but at most places they are never as crispy as regular potato fries. Here they were perfectly crispy while still retaining a nice softness and bit of sweetness from the sweet potato inside.

They offered to get my other things from the Dennys menu, but as we were on a road trip, and crunched for time, that was not really an option.

They could not provide me any documentation on Dennys letterhead to say they could not fulfill my order. I tried to talk with a manager, but was told there was no manager on duty. (Actually the waitress said they can't find a manager). Thought we'd give this new business model a try. The burgers looked interesting and tasty, if not a bit expensive.
