I'm not sure if the person at the counter was new or training but he didn't know if they served hot cocoa. Another staff member taught him how to prepare it and ring it up. She asked if I wanted whipped cream but didn't say it was a $1 up charge which is quite steep for a drink that's only $3.50 or so to start. It was just canned whipped cream so that felt very pricey: the cocoa was average. I also ordered a cheese Danish to go and the employee just opened a box and the lid of the Danish cloche and told me to grab one. I feel like they should use a paper to grab it; I don't like the thought of other customers putting their hands in to choose. I also didn't want to touch my own pastry with my bare hands before washing. It didn't really make me want to return to try a sandwich. I understand that new employees need training, if that was the case. But I do think they should be familiar with what basic beverages are available.

I wish we would have listened to my grandson and went to the Burger King. We arrived a little late as we had been traveling so it was 25min until 8:00pm which is closing time. This restaurant is trying to copy the big brand chain BBQ restaurants and no longer have a waiter come to your table you order I call it concession stand style at the door basically. We were greeted by a girl who kept looking at us like we were a burden for coming in 25min before closing. While we were trying to look at the menu which is on the wall behind the counter employees in the kitchen kept looking out the window as if we were taking too long to order. I ordered a pulled pork sandwich my wife,mother in-law,and grandson ordered a baked potato. We also ordered three fountain drinks and my wife ordered a draft beer.For a very small pulled pork sandwich, three baked potatoes,three fountain drinks, and two beers our bill was $74.67. This is one of those restaurants that charge you a Tip prior to receiving any service so my added tip was $10.00 for them to bring the food to our table and let us know that if any of us was drinking tea that they were pouring it out because it was 10 minutes till closing. I guess when you get out of your car at a BBQ restaurant and don't smell smoke or BBQ that's a good sign to leave. Pulled pork =BLA no smoke flavor I believe it was crockpot pork.Potatoes hard half cold half boiling hot just like microwave potatoes. If this wasn't in such a small town there is no doubt it would not be in business! Take my advice. Do not waste your time or money here. Go to Burger King. The food was so bad and the portions so small I didn't bother taking any pictures. PS: My wife ask the manager why such a change and of course we got the old worn out excuse.(IT's BECAUSE OF COVID) breaking news. That was 6yrs ago! I believe everyone is tired of hearing that excuse.

I thought it was odd that they still had a Covid sneeze guard over the cashier station. It seemed out of place. It also was looking old. If they were going to keep it they need to replace it. I got hashbrowns and a sausage biscuit with cheese and a water. The hashbrowns were great! I passed through at 9:30 AM. The biscuit tasted like it was probably made at early in the AM. It did not seem fresh and seemed old. I was a little disappointed. It tasted OK but it did not taste great. They seemed busy enough that there should not be old biscuits. When I was ordering the cashier just stood there looking to the side. I was waiting for her to ask me if I was ready to order. We probably stood there for 20 seconds before I engaged her and asked if she was ready for me to order. It was awkward. A simple greeting by her would have done the trick. Good luck!

The food is rarely warm and the sandwiches look like they've been eaten on. The fries are always cold and soggy. The cleanliness of the inside is another whole disappointment. I would rather eat the rear end out of a buzzard than to eat at this restaurant again. Smith management is the franchise owners out of Cleveland and I suspect they're not much better as this has happen to me at least 10 times in the past year! I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone! Burger King is across the street or just two miles east of this restaurant you'll have Hardee's, Sonic, Wendy's, gondolier, and long John silvers. I would recommend either one of these over this McDonalds

The floor behind the counter where the cook and staff are was very dirty with food on the floor including onions, egg shells and more. The food, well bless our cooks heart he just couldn't get it right. I ordered a large bacon and the bacon was very over cooked to a dark brown to black. Our hash browns were over cooked and burnt. I ordered a 3 eggs cheese steak omelet "old fashioned" and it came regular cooked and not what I ordered. We both had tea and asked for lemons and at first the waitress said they were out. Well, they just didn't have any cut and she didn't want to do it. I hinted at her nicely that she definitely needed to cut a few lemons and she reluctantly did it but had an attitude about it. I guess we will stick to the day shift for our food.

We had one in the town we were staying in, but never got around to stopping. On our way out and on our way home we decided to give this a go as our late breakfast/lunch. It was easy to find and park. We walk in and right up to the counter and prepared for our show...I mean meal. Once we got to the counter and started looking over the menu the show started. It was quite entertaining watching the crew interact with one another. They were selecting the songs on the jukebox and jamming out to it as they had this store under control and working smoothly. I even caught myself laughing with other patrons as they were joking with one another. I knew I wanted Biscuits and Gravy, but I saw the hashbrown bowls and decided I'd go with one of those too, with sausage. My Dad went with one of their general breakfasts that came with a waffle. The food was what I expected and I really can't say much that hasn't been said by other people that have reviewed any Waffle House out there. What I enjoyed was the lively atmosphere. Being able to see that chef quickly get through the orders right in front of you. The servers were buzzing about like worker bees, and that's not because of the black and yellow coloring. Was it memorable? A bit, the first time eating at one, and the overall fun of the place.
