The name of the restaurant is wrong here on Yelp! The correct name is Shelly's Smash Burger…read more Staff were very friendly. Ingredients were all fresh. Prices very reasonable. It's not really a truck stop, but it is part of a convenience store at a Phillips 66 gas station. The only options for burgers in Waterloo near where we are, are either fast food or Denny's, Applebees, etc. It's a bit of a drive down Rte 3 to Red Bud, but if you want a very good burger at a reasonable price it's worth making the trip.

I went out on a limb trusting some other Yelp reviews of this place and decided to stop on our way…read moreback from the wine trails in Southern Illinois. We had a hard time ordering. It was a little bit confusing on if we went to the main checkout or the one in the corner, which is kind of like a weird restaurant/ gambling area. Anyway, after we figure out what we wanted we waited for the order and ate it on the drive home. It did not package well, even from the store to the car which was like a 10-second walk. The fries were mushy and gross, and I feel like the burger was completely underwhelming. I think steak 'n shake has some of the best burgers. If we were going to stop somewhere local we probably should have done that. That. There's nothing to write home about and they offer a discount on some ice cream that's hand scooped, my partner got some of that and tried it and it was completely freezer burnt. So needless to say we won't be back, but it was I guess. Guess interesting to check out a local spot that I've been curious about. 3/10 won't try again and wouldn't recommend.

Decided to try a "newer" establishment right outside of Waterloo…read more This place is quaint. Everyone on staff were very friendly and prompted service was had. There are Specials every day of the week. We got the $1 wing special and the Chicken Bacon Ranch Special. We were able to split our sauce for the wings but wish we stuck with the sweet &Spicy (I think that was the name) the Buffalo was way to hot for us. The Chicken Bacon Ranch Sandwich was very good!!!! We did get some Fried Mushrooms and alot didn't have..Mushrooms in it... lol. We heard that they have the Best Fried Chicken around.. Sundays are All Yiu Can Eat (no regular menu). So we will have to go back and check it out!! Parking can be a challenge..especially on weekends and when they have Live music. And $6.50 for 1 trip to the Salad Bar is a bit Steep..

Headed to a new place to try their Lenten Fish Fry…read more. The place was busy, which I love to see, and the wait wasn't bad at all.. we did get there around 5pm. The owner/server was very friendly and helpful in explaining the Lenten Menu. The Cod was very good!!! Loved the Fries but would pass on the Mac n Cheese (it was ok). Also, got the Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap which was yummy!!! Drinks were good and strong!! We got some desserts to go as they were brought in fresh!!! The Key Lime pie was good!! But very Green!! The German Chocolate Cake was Delish... I just wish for $4/slice the piece was a bit bigger!!! Note: it took a little bit for our food to come out but we were in no hurry!! We will go back!! The menu has a good variety to try. The old bar is great

Hopefully they will be just as successful- many other people have tried and didn't succeed at this location. You seat yourself when you enter. Our server was promptly at our table. All 4 of ordered fried chicken special they had that day. Wow it was delicious. Good crispy outside with juicy meat inside. My sides were green beans and glazed carrots. Beans were too salty for me. The carrots were delicious- kinda like dessert. I've also heard the burgers are great. I'll try one of those another time. The place isn't fancy at all but has good food.

Great Friday night fish place. It has a limited Lent Menu…read moreduring this season but I think it is one of the Best!!! The fried pickles are a MUST appetizer!!! And the House Salad with the homemade Ranch Dressing ummm Yes please! The fish is hot and crispy and just right!! I opted for a bake potato and glad I did. I can't say enough about this place!!! If you are looking for a different place during Lent please stop in at Mr BBQ (Waterloo location)

They…read moreopened up a back room for us, which was good (to get seated), but lacking in any nice atmosphere. The service was good, especially considering how busy they were. My Chicken Club Sandwich was pretty hefty and also tasty. I liked that they offer cottage cheese as a side. Had a cocktail too (vodka and lemonade) and enjoyed it. Overall, not a bad place to get a meal.

I got the buffalo chicken wrap and he got the chipotle chicken wrap. Food was good and reasonably priced. Service was a little slow and not overly friendly but the barmaid was working all by herself and had a busy day. We sat outside, enjoyed our lunch and got to meet a couple of the locals. It's your typical bar with food but with a variety of options.

We have a friend from Waterloo who raves about this place, so we wanted to try it. First of all,…read morevibes! Swanky, classy and dark interior, with a speakeasy-roaring 20's feel. It was raining the day we came so did not get to experience the rooftop. It was not busy on the day we came but we were seated fairly close to a lingering group of 6 who were incredibly loud, which was disappointing. We were there on a Sunday which is a limited menu because of the featured all-you-can-eat Sunday fried chicken dinner served family style. It's a great deal at $19/adult! Included are biscuits, dirty mashed potatoes, sautéed green beans, corn custard, and then the chicken. Biscuits were VERY hard...like could hurt someone if you threw it at them hard. Green beans and dirty mash were exceptional along with the accompanying gravy. I also really enjoyed the chicken--flavorful, juicy, nice crust, piping hot. The corn custard, while the texture and corn flavor were nice, lacked seasoning. They mean it when they say all you can eat, and we were even given boxes to take home the few extras our stomachs didn't have room for. The service was unfortunately not great, took a while to see our waiter and we were never offered water refills. Overall, a nice restaurant with good food, would love to try their full menu. I deducted a star for noise, service, and a couple food items being a bit subpar. It was a half hour drive for us so if we ever happen to be in Waterloo would like to go back but probably wouldn't make a special trip for it due to the drive and us not being absolutely blown away.

For our pre-Christmas dinner, my husband brought me here…read more The place is located in downtown Waterloo. There were plenty of street parking available and within walking distance from the restaurant. When we arrived, we were greeted immediately and brought to an elevator. We were seated on the second floor overlooking the streets. The place is beautifully decorated from what looked like repurposed doors. I'm not sure if the door looks were intentional or they truly were repurposed. Either way, they gave the restaurant characters. Our waitress stopped by shortly after we were seated and took our drink orders. After she brought us our drinks, we placed an order for some smoked prawn roll (jalapeño cream cheese mousse, red pepper jelly, fried wanton and cucumber). Delicious! Next came our entrée. I ordered the 16 oz cowboy ribeye, medium rare. The steaks are a la carte. I ordered a side of brown butter asparagus to go with my steak. They offer accouterment for the steaks but I decided against it. My steak was prepared properly and was quite tasty. My husband had the grilled salmon which he also thoroughly enjoyed. For dessert, I ordered the chocolate grand Marnier creme caramel. It was divine! Overall, our dining experience was wonderful. Making the 20-minute trek was well worth it.
