how food is presented

Mixed feelings. First as a out of town visitor from texas..please remove the "south of the border" as nothing on there is actual mexican food and thus not from south of the border. Very north of the border. so far north we in texas wont even call it Tex-mex. In texas you get arrested for such silliness. Now the "spicy" chicken sandwich was not spicy. not even slightly spicy. Also should never have to chew on a chicken sandwich the way you do a bad steak. Id drink my sweet tea but there was another faux pas...CLEAN YOUR TEA DISPENSER DAILY! and add sugar when warm. taste test. was so bitter and stout it gives dry mouth after a sip. thats only achieved through not cleaning and the tannin build up. Which can cause upset stomach, headaches and more. The chicken was super dry if that wasnt made clear. SEASON YOUR FRIES! Dont ever stick a large bottle of iodized salt on a table..salt the fries when they come out of the oil or the salt doesnt stick anyway. they are bland and disgusting. no excuse for failing at french fries. Jr burger with just cheese is very good. So there is that i guess. I cant lie. it was really good. and so tender and juicy you probably could gum it without having teeth and be ok. good quality burger meat. The coconut creme pudding shake was just what you would think if you wanted a coconut cream pie in a cup. very tasty. Little too much shredded coconut but overall the flavors were spot on. This place could use a good clean inside. You could reenact Tom Cruise in risky business by sliding on the floor its so greasy. and you wouldnt need socks. just your regular non slip shoes. Menus are not clean. so you have to touch dirty menus then touch your food. idk why they have boxes of random merchandise like kiddie cars and headphones inside. sort of weird but small town maybe its a donation spot? really unclear on that but its weird to walk into a restaurant and see random stuff thats not related to the business. you can see whole kitchen. that isnt necessarily a good thing mind you. Went back for shakes to try and Girl who came to our car needed a little more practice at math for giving change but on that i sympathize as math isnt my strongest subject. Overall this place needs a lot of work but i still recommend people try for themselves.

Classic burger, hot dog, fries menu with some South of the Border options.

In my original review I said there were no ice cream treats. The restaurant followed-up with a note to say I missed that menu, which is on the passenger side of the car.

Great little hometown burger joint. Best sweet tea I've had in the north so far. Burgers are fresh bacon is real. Onion rings are fresh and crispy

Ice cream

Hicks couldn't even take the time out to put the ice cream in side another cup! Also got a banana split that was all melted

So I order and it's a simple one item order. They repeated back to me what I ordered and then came out with the wrong item and a MANAGER came back out to say "I REPEATED IT BACK TO YOU, YOU REALLY WANTED XYZ? I was taken aback. It's hot today maybe tempers are just flaring. I still enjoy hicks but it wasn't a pleasant experience.

Do you know what makes Hicks' burgers good? The buns. Fluffy and fresh. Not mashed and dry like everywhere else.

It's pretty simple, Sonic if Sonic was a local mom and pops.

McDonald's - Chillicothe, MO September 17, 2016…read more We stopped at this McDonald's while traveling to Marceline, Missouri, the hometown of Walt Disney, for their annual celebration. It's hard to believe it's been nearly a decade since that trip. What made this stop memorable wasn't the meal, but a moment of unexpected nostalgia. Sitting outside on a bench was a Ronald McDonald statue, casually posed with one leg crossed and his arm stretched across the back of the bench. I hadn't seen one of those in years. It instantly took me back to childhood -- a reminder of simpler road trips and the small details that made stops like this feel special. Sometimes it's not the destination or even the food that stays with you, but a brief moment that brings back a feeling you didn't know you missed. The ambiance is sure to make you feel like a kid again.

Modern and uber-convenient McDonald's right off highway 36 in Chillicothe (where sliced bread was…read moreinvented). I stopped by twice on my way to and from a work visit 90 miles away. Ordered a caramel macchiato at the counter on my way out, used the self-order kiosk for a sandwich and smoothie during the lunch rush when I was heading back. I observed other customers using their smart phone apps to place orders, and others using the pickup parking spots (where they bring your food to you). The drive through lines were kept moving, and bathrooms were clean. They have plenty of regular parking and lots of seating inside.
