    This was such a cool place. Great hamburgers and the cherry pie is amazing. You have to try it out.

    Tammi W.

    Stopped here on a road trip. The line was super long and it took awhile to get thru it. Burgers were good but the pie was amazing!

    Interior with history
    Dale L.

    The food is the precursor to Wendy's. I highly recommend the chocolate malt (frosty). I also recommend the lemon crunch pie! Soooo good. The interior is kind of barren, dated, and cafeteria style. The service is some what unorganized for being in business so long. The burgers and fries are fine,

    Lovely flowers under the sign at the rear of the building

    So what I did was drive to a different Kewpee Hamburgers to A) compare the two, and B). Give Mrs. E. a chance to experience the legend. You have three new fans, Mrs.E and her dogs. The Kewpee hasn't changed much in my 50+ years of eating them. Now, the rest of the fam finally understands. This location is right off I-75. The dining room is huge. The staff are always friendly to us. The cheeseburgers are stellar. I've been stalling for so long on this review, we've managed to visit here five times! All great experiences! 07/24

    Kewpee is one of my regular stops when heading south on I-75 (Exit 125). A simple menu keeps the line moving fast ... and I love the Sugar Cream pie.

    Drive thru lane
    Ellen M.

    Went through the drive-thru, which had a long line, but that is to be expected since it is a staple of the area. Got a standard cheeseburger with fries and a drink and the whole thing was reasonably priced at $6. I'd rather come here than McDs or another fast food joint. Support local! The cheeseburger was good and the fries crispy. Service was with a smile!

    Double cheeseburger with a side a fries
    Ve'Ka T.

    Found a local gem in Lima! Food was tasty and affordable. Associates were friendly and dressed in throwback uniforms that reminded me of the 50's. Love the retro feel of the restaurant. Don't be alarmed by the line at the drive thru! It's worth the wait. Ordered the double cheeseburger, fries, and pumpkin pie. Note that the onions are raw. Pie tasted like grandma made it! Don't be alarmed by the fries in the pic. . .I munched on them on the way back to the hotel. Portion size is great. Hope I have room for a frosted malt next time.

    Stopped in to try this place I've heard so much about. Ambiance is typical fast food burger joint. We waited in line for about 30 minutes. The food is freshly made & tasty. Hubby & I both ordered cheeseburgers, we split an order of fries & he ordered a slice of apple crisp pie for dessert while I got the chocolate malt (similar to a frosty). Our burgers were delicious though they go a bit overboard with the mustard. The fries were good (similar to McDonald's). Hubby liked the pie & I liked the malt. My only complaint is the 30 minute wait in line. The drive-thru had a very long wait also.

    Dried hamburger meat.
    Paul R.

    The Hamburger was dry. The meat was overdone. Not juicy at all. The fries were good. The frosty was awesome. If you come here, expect a wait.

A friend of mine recommended that I should try The Grind since he knows I am really into coffees, breakfasts and brunch. The morning I came to The Grind, was still frigid even though it was supposed to be spring. I was looking forward to a good cup of coffee and a good breakfast to warm my up. I brought my brother along because, I needed help carrying stuff for the shopping trip. There was no wait even though the place was beginning to fill up to capacity. We sat down and ordered our drinks. One thing I didn't like from the get go was that this place is almost siloed into a coffee shop and a cafe. There is an area in the front where people who want to get coffee to go can order, which is smart and efficient. But, when you sit down, you do not get a coffee menu along with your food menu. The coffee menu is located in the front which would either require you to get up to see what they have or just make a random order. We chose the latter and just asked for two white chocolate mochas. My brother ordered a breakfast skillet, while I ordered the Grind special. I added pictures of the menu to the review so anyone unfamiliar with these items can look them up. We waited quite a long time for the food, think it was about 30 minutes. You could tell they were understaffed. Eventually we got our food. My brother liked the skillet, i mostly liked my meal. The breakfast potatoes were bland and lacked any seasoning. The rest of my meal was good though. One thing we both did not like were the coffees. Usually when I go to a cafe they present the coffee to you in a certain way. They have some design made with foam on the coffee, not here. The coffee also was ok. The taste didn't wow me. Maybe the time we came it was just off because of how many people were in here. Still overall, I did enjoy my meal here.

It's open, there is a bar to your right as you enter and lots of seating to your right and front. Can eat at bar. We sat, mimosas and bloodies available. Or for that matter- whatever you can think of. They have scotch eggs swimming in a bowl of gravy... yes gravy... and it was delicious. Definitely a Mexican "flair" with lots of black beans, sauces, etc. I stuck with a Belt sandwich - nice and crispy bread with bacon, egg, lettuce, tomato. Friendly service and lots of value!

We did not have a good experience this time. Our bartender Shanna was less than enthusiastic about serving us. She had an attitude & was yawning Alot!

My friend ordered prime rib medium rare. The rib was served Medium to Medium well. Shanna took it away & brought a Médium rare one, which was much better. I almost forgot about the Horrible house salads she served us. She returned them & brought us the Cole slaw & Augratin potatoes. The mistakes were corrected, but totally changed our view of the Dark Horse. I hope improvements will be made!

I love the no-frills vibe of the venue, staff and customers. My first impression? Dark! I arrived at noon:30 because a passing acquaintance mentioned Lombardo's having the best BPTS. The staff and regulars numbered five and were bantering about nothing at high decibel. I sat at the bar and grabbed a menu. It is a perfectly useful, simple, no-frills list of food and prices. The bartender/waitress was a tad slow to engage this newcomer, but finally got around to taking my order and delivering a glass of water. My second impression? Still dark. The BPTS arrived after the usual wait and was hot from the fryer. It comes with nothing, but the usual garnishes are available for an up-charge that seems a tad rich. $1 for a slice of winter tomato? Pass. $1 for a slice of cheese? Pass. $1 for a slice of onion? Pass. The bun was fresh and the pickle spear was beginning to trend from crisp and crunchy towards a hint of limp. I enjoyed the porky goodness and flashbacks to my childhood BPTS memories. Will I return? Probably. I hope that the kitchen will do breakfast-for-lunch. I am also curious about their hamburger ... $3.50, but the double hamburger is more than 2x the regular burger. What's with that?
