Ordered my usual triple cheeseburger with fries and a coke. I did notice all Krekels locations in the Decatur area are was cheaper than the Springfield location by a lot. Got my food and was super excited to check off another Krekels location from the list! So the burger wasn't smashed long enough to get any crisp crust or lacing, which was super disappointing. Fries were hot and might have been sitting under the heat lamp, but to be expected from how busy they were. Definitely a generous portion of fries. Coke was nice and cold for this hot day. Great service and awesome location and a local favorite from how busy it was. I would definitely recommend or return to this establishment!

I quit going. Drive-thru is ridiculously slow, and once when I actually had to park and go in, they…read moregave me the wrong order--and this was at 3pm, hardly rush hour. Used to be good, but not anymore. Lots of other places to get burgers like this.

Driving past, this restaurant may just look like another run off the mill hamburger joint. But…read moredon't let looks fool you- this restaurant is easily one of the best in Decatur for a plethora of reasons. -Food The food here is absolutely amazing.

I have ordered online many times, and it- the food- is almost always prepared and ready by the time I finish my 6 minute drive to the business! So yeah, service is pretty good. -Final Verdict If you want delicious, Krekel's is the place for you 5/5 Would Strongly Reccomend

I see why one of the other locations I rated has a poor ordering system you walk up to a bunch of…read morepeople not in a line waiting on one of the 2 windows to open to ask who is next. Probably the worst ordering system I've ever encountered. In fact some jerk cut in front of me and another person because of this failed system. They don't even have any literature explaining this poor system either. Finally get my order in and take a seat, ordered the triple cheeseburger and fries and a coke. It didn't take long to get and have to say, food was good. The burger seemed a tad smaller than other locations. Food was a more expensive than other locations too, Springfield location is the worst and most expensive though. They don't have indoor seating, fyi. I would return, but would recommend preordering to avoid their poor service.

Our server was Austin. Austin was incredible. He handled all of us with great knowledge and enthusiasm. He had answers about every menu item that we asked about.

Checked out this Irish pub in Decatur that's more typical of the local bars. It certainly isn't…read morefancy but it's not all bad though. Doherty's is known for its cheap drinks, food, and games. For sure it's even cheap for around here. There's a few locals always at the bar it seems. After many of the other places around here have closed, it was a later night option for us to get drinks and a bite. It was pretty quiet inside. This place isn't a wild hangout most times. It has a pretty simple menu. There's the most basic stuff. It's about $5 for the cheapest Irish whiskey, not bad. The food can be even cheaper if you can believe it. Fries are $3, and these are about the healthiest food here you can get. The rest of the food mostly is meats. Good place to get something cheap. It may not always be good food, in fact it usually isn't, but most people just come for the drinks so they don't really care too much about any of the food. They also have games including arcades and slots for those looking for entertainment and things.
