    Burnt buns on a Sunday Oct 29th @11 AM 2023 I brought back to Oklahoma for people ! ! Oh no no nooo
    Misty W.

    Let me start off by saying, this is my favorite place to go. All my best childhood food memories came from here or the original on North Morrison Blvd. Every-time I come home I have to have a sack of my beef or pork, if eating immediately I want it dressed, if traveling to a destination I want it "heavy" sauce! Today I spent $32 on 5 sandwiches - the dressed I ate immediately, which was ok. Kind of dry, but plenty of beef. The others I mentioned I was bringing in my road trip to Oklahoma, so they offered to put in foil, which was a great idea! (When you get them heavy, they may soak some through the bag) . I was bringing 2 for my daughter in OK who also loves them and 1-2 for my son-in-law to try, the rest I was happy to eat after my 9 hr drive! Except..... after the price increase (which I was ok - most things cost more money today, but from $3.50 last I bought a year ago to $5.00 today) I opened up my Sammy's to find this !? I drove 9 hours to deliver a taste of my childhood to open these BURNT buns that nobody took more than a bite of and looked at me like I was crazy to be so in love with this... very disappointed guys. Hope you were just having a bad staff/cook day??

    Look, I'm going to warn people ahead of time, this place isn't traditional BBQ. It's actually not really BBQ. It's more of a sandwich shop that invented a particular sandwich. The hi ho sandwich is either a choice of beef or pork that has been sliced deli thin style. It comes with a sauce that is some kind of middle ground between a spaghetti and light BBQ sauce. It's similar to Italian-BBQ crossover sauces I've found in Memphis. Hi ho started before WWII as a sandwich shop that sold their creation to travelers on Hwy 51. The area was settled by Italians and the Spitale family came up with the unique sandwich, likely imitating BBQ without actually being BBQ. Their flat top grill is great too. I often like to get hot ham and cheese sandwiches and their burgers are good and old school. Everything is better with a Barq's!

    While in the south I was told I had to have a poboy. Okay, let's do it insaid. Arrived here at Hi-Ho and ordered a roast beef poboy fully dressed. Sandwich, and a root beer in a glass bottle for about $10, okay cool. Not really knowing what to expect when this thing arrived in was kinda shocked at the size. This was just lunch right? Well, I drove in and quickly learned why there were rolls of paper towels on the tables. I'd come back with out a question.

    Breakfast Menu that states biscuit and sausage gravy $2, plain biscuit $1, hashbrowns $1. Total should be $2 for hash w/ sausage gravy!

    Gave it 1 star for Rene, Zach, and the other young lady, I'd put 0 if I could. I have come to Hi-Ho for the past few years for breakfast as it is the best prices around town and Rene+Zach typically take care of me. Since I go in frequently, they know my order but the past 3 weeks I have been getting hashbrowns with sausage gravy. The past couple of times I have been there Mr. Ronnie has taken my order. Each time, I have to repeat my order 3-5 times for him to understand what I want, which has been hashbrowns with sausage gravy(like country gravy). The first time he took that order he charged me $3, which I was not used to because I typically get charged $2 for it. I brushed it off. The second time Mr. Ronnie took my order (after repeating 3xs) he charged me $3 again. This time I questioned why it was $3. IN THE PICTURE PROVIDED YOU SEE THAT A BISCUIT WITH SAUSAGE GRAVY IS $2, A PLAIN BISCUIT IS $1, AND HASHBROWNS ARE $1. If I am only trading out the biscuit ($1) for hashbrowns ($1) shouldn't my total price still be $2?? (I can't figure out how to add the picture of the breakfast menu) I explained this to Mr. Ronnie on 11/6/18 and he went to clarify it and said the "kitchen told him to give it to me for $2 because it's for me". I think he only said that so he would not be the one in fault. So I was charged $2 which is fine because that should be the regular price. Wednesday 11/7/18 I asked one of the workers about it and they agreed that it's $2 and we both laughed about the situation. They said it's $2 and if I get charged $3 tell them that's not right. TODAY 11/8/18 I was ignored when standing at the counter. JT (partial owner) had taken the 3 men's order to the left of me but turned around after and started changing the coffee. I was a little confused considering he made eye contact with me and knew I was there. Mr. Ronnie was working drive thru and started asking the people at the counter if our orders had been taken. I told him no. He asks what I wanted and I told him "hashbrown with sausage gravy." (only once) he goes back to the kitchen and says THE WRONG THING so I say again louder "sausage GRAVY, not sausage, SAUSAGE GRAVY" the partial owner JT relayed it for me. Mr. Ronnie walks out and grabs my debit card WITHOUT saying the price of my order and charges me $3, and then tosses the pen at me(as if he knew what was about to happen) and walks back to the drive thru window . I immediately think to myself "I really don't want to ask why I'm being charged $3 instead of $2 because he's not going to understand. Let me ask this guy." So I as the partial owner JT why it is costs $3 not $2. Before I can even get all the words out of my mouth, I already see his eyes rolling (as if he knew). Keep in mind, I come in almost EVERY morning and never have a problem with Rene, Zach, or the young lady, they understand my order clearly every time and I have even talked to them about the price of it and it's agreed that it's $2 full price. JT tells me "that's not what you ordered" and I said "I want hashbrowns with sausage gravy, like the one with the biscuit but instead hashbrowns it should only be $2" He says "that's not what you ordered. It's not even that price on the menu." I walk to the menu which is taped on the counter and point to the biscuit with sausage gravy and the price is $2 and then I explain to him the same thing I explained to Mr. Ronnie. I don't even think he was listening to what I was saying because he kept mumbling under his breath, by that point I ask for a refund because I'm not paying for something that is not priced correctly. He snaps back saying "well I can't refund you on your credit card" and so I snap back with "it's a debit." And he says "well I can give it in cash." Hands me the money and I walk out while saying they need to go back to school to learn simple math. I realize I forgot my debit card and go back and as I am leaving I heard someone comment about my sex which is irrelevant to the matter. However, I am typically the only female getting breakfast from there around the time I go so for someone to say that while I'm leaving really left a bad taste in my mouth. I'm mainly upset because even if Ronnie and JT(partial owner) understand the price problem, I don't think they would ever apologize or treat me the same before all of this happened. I also don't want to go into a place where I am going to be treated differently because I'm a woman! I used to love going over there in the mornings and talking to everyone, now I would rather drive a tad bit further to get better QUALITY meat and CUSTOMER SERVICE at Chick Fil A!

    I love a good dive

I would have gone out HAPPY Saturday night after eating here and that…read moreis NOT an exaggeration ‍ From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was so peaceful and welcoming. And can we talk about the music?! Christian music playing the whole time -- that's all we listen to, so my son was over there having his own little concert knowing every word lol. It just felt GOOD in there. Now listen... they were BUSY busy (Saturday night, so we expected that), and we were starvingggg, so we skipped the appetizers -- which honestly hurt my feelings a little because they sounded SO good And I HAVE to shout out the server/owner -- because baby, my dad is 80 years old and will talk to ANYBODY about ANYTHING. When I say they handled him like a pro... I mean patient, kind, laughing with him, never rushing him off -- just truly good people. If you know, you know Let's get into the food though I ordered the BBQ bacon cheeseburger (no onions) with fries... AND a fresh squeezed lemonade that was absolutely BOMB ‍ Like refreshing, perfect, not too sweet -- I could've had about three of those, easy My dad got the surf & turf burger, my sister got a regular burger, my brother-in-law had the crawfish étouffée with fried catfish, and my son got chicken fingers. We did have a bit of a wait, but honestly it gave us time to sit, talk, and enjoy being together -- no complaints there BUT BABY... when that food hit the table... Not. One. Word. Except "OMG this is the best thing I've ever eaten!!!" That burger?!?! I'm not even kidding -- I would request that as my LAST MEAL. It was THICK, juicy, cooked perfectly. The bacon? Crispy perfection The sourdough bun? Soft, fluffy, just holding everything together like it was sent from Heaven The BBQ sauce wasn't overpowering -- just right. AND let me say this... I am the DIPPING SAUCE QUEEN I normally need ranch, ketchup, something on the side at all times... but this burger?! I didn't touch a single sauce. Not ONE. It stood on its own and didn't need a thing I did not stop eating until it was GONE. No to-go box. No shame. No regrets. I usually can't even finish a burger anywhere, but this one?? I couldn't put it down. And when I tell you EVERYONE cleaned their plates -- I mean EVERY. SINGLE. PERSON. Even my son, who is VERY picky about his "chicken nuggets," was tearing those chicken fingers UP and talking about how good they were So will I be back? ABSOLUTELY. Will I recommend it? Already have ‍ Will I start a petition (or boycott ) if they ever take that burger off the menu? Don't test me. Also... sorry there are no pictures We turned into straight feral animals the second that food hit the table 10/10 -- run, don't walk.

    Firehouse Subs, hey little PSA!…read more I didn't realize this place was showing such poor management skills and the staff not providing quality orders! I ordered a TURKEY BACON "RANCH" sandwich for lunch, but it wasn't ranch -- more like some kind of honey mustard. I don't have time to come back and get it remade. When I called, they told me they can't do anything unless I bring the sandwich back right now. I said, "I can't do that, and gas isn't free!" They just said, "Oh well, that's our policy." So basically, they can mess up your food and still expect you to pay for it! I'm really tired of places making mistakes and expecting the customer to pay for them. This was at the Hammond location. The sandwich cost $15 and was ruined. Yes, I got frustrated because they kept saying it's their policy. But the policy should be to make sandwiches correctly or at least not inconvenience customers. Then some guy on the phone said he was the manager. When I asked for his name, he started saying this is ridiculous and kept cutting me off. Meanwhile, a girl in the background called someone else and said there was a lady on the phone having a full-on meltdown. I wasn't upset until they got rude to me, cutting me off saying "oh well," and expected me to just drop everything and rush back. They basically told me, "Well, I messed up, and you need to come back to fix it, otherwise you're out of luck." The guy said, "Ma'am, sorry, but we're busy!" When I picked up my order, there were only three customers and three workers there. The management and staff are unprofessional, and it's disappointing to see such poor service.
