    French fries
    David L.

    Me and my wife were in Decatur shopping and my wife decided she wanted a hamburger but not from the normal chains. Went to Google maps and found about five Krekels in Decatur. my wife had the hamburger and I had the double cheeseburger with french fries and a sprite. Old-fashioned pressed burgers tasted great! I'm sure their ice cream is awesome too! Definitely recommend!!!

    Kremer's has the best hamburger around town. It is a real treat to eat here. You get plenty to eat and it is a real treat.

    Amazing smash burgers!! The lemon/strawberry twist cone is elite. Super cheap and family owned.

    Again, Krekels can't be outdone. Just too good. I had the crazy craving for it yesterday. Nothing would suffice except for double cheese.

    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.

I've enjoyed a few smash burgers but it's just something about this place that always keeps coming back whenever I'm in town. The lemon custard is absolutely my favorite hands downs. The burgers are simple but good, this spot was doing smash burgers before they were ever even a big thing. The staff are always pleasant, I don't think I've ever had a bad interaction. It's just a cute little small town family owned business and you really get that vibe when you're there.

    Cannot tell you how much this fried chicken sandwich and hand-breaded catfish filets are still on…read moremy mind 3 days later MMMMMmmmmmm The Burger Barn/Sue's Snow Cones are located in the parking lot of a drive through liquor store; Don't blink or you might have to pull a u-turn. Luckily, you should be able to see the bright red barn in the corner of the parker lot with it's inviting menu and delicious smells! Vern and Sue are the owners, and they just opened to the public! He, a former restaurant owner, and she, a chef and business woman, are starting this new food truck (barn on a trailer) and have an incredible menu! They have an assortment of tenderloins, fries, friend chicken, fried catfish, catfish nuggets, burgers, and tons of flavors of snow cones! Most items come as sandwiches or dinners. This is all fresh and made to order so pop into the liquor store, play a couple slots or grab an adult beverage inside while you wait. They do have drinks for sale too but get the snow cone for $2- it will be just as refreshing as a beverage! Everything is very reasonably priced for a local business and if you have $10, you won't go away hungry from here! Don't be surprised if they have some rotating special menu items, but check their facebook page for specials and special events where Sue will be dishing up Snow Cones around town! https://www.facebook.com/The-Burger-BarnSues-Snow-Cones-100681015550120 Catfish Sandwich: Holy Catfish, this thing was huge! We got 2 of the biggest, juiciest filets of catfish I've ever seen and I swear this is the best I've ever had! Still drooling over the amazing cornbread breading and perfectly deep-fried moist catfish. Mmm! Fried Chicken: This breading is incredible! It must have some sort of leavening agent as it is so light and fluffy and crispy goodness (but isn't heavy like chicken chains!). Would 100% recommend to anyone trying to get a fix of a chicken sandwich; You can customize all the toppics (pickles, onions, tomato slices, etc. plus packets of every sauce you can imagine!). I loved it and would definitely go back! Highly recommend 5 Stars!
