Ummm. We don't have Krystal in Illinois. We do have White Castle and I remember someone telling me Krystal was similar- I'm not a fan of White Castle- but I gotta be fair! So we popped into the drive thru in this little spot in the Great Smoky Mountains! 3 Krystal burgers- man these were GOOD 2 Krystal cheese burgers- other than the fact the cheese was basically a tiny orange looking blob? It was ok Tots - ooh. The oil was old and tasted like it. Not much salt either- Apple pie - kinda like McDs I think? Corn pup - hmm a corn dog - ok but no mustard packet? Yikes. Would I come again? The Krystal burger was worth it! But kinda meh on the other stuff- still, I'm glad we tried it! What do YOU think? read more

Krystal - Fast Food Near Me - Kodak, Tennessee

Stopped though drive thru and employee was rude with attitude. She thought her headset was off but was still active. Making comments she can take anymore of the stupid customers and their orders. After seeing most of the other reviews was bad...I should have avoided this place and just went to Buccees This definitely ain't no White Castle. They will always be number one. Product and service read more

Dependable fast food burgers. In a pinch, and Covid qualified as a pinch. Uninspired menu, service and ambience. read more

It was very late at night and I pulled through before getting to my hotel room. There was no customers inside and nobody at the drive through but the lights were on so I hoped for the best. When I got to the speaker I was greeted and offered there current special, I gave my order and was told it would take a minute but be fresh. Not only was the service great, but the food was as good as Krystal's get. read more

Cheesy bite size burger snacks. Service was quick and friendly. The burgers had a good taste, lots of cheese, and weren't mushy as is not uncommon. read more

Krystal - a person holding a hot dog in a paper container - Fast Food Near Me - Kodak, Tennessee

Meh. I have never been a fan of fast food sliders and Krystal is not even as good (good is not the right word) as White Castle. This store in particular is pretty dirty (the floor is sticky!) and attached to a gas station off the highway. read more

Horrible location. We used to stop by here every year on the way to Gatlinburg because it was clean and nice. We won't be stopping again. Filthy bathroom with doors that won't lock, soap and paper towel dispensers torn off the wall. Sign says employees must wash hands ? How? read more

I wish we had seen the bathroom before we ate here. It was disgusting, and I can't imagine that the employees there have clean hands. It smelt like pee, the toilets, mirrors, and floors were dirty, the only soap they had to wash your hands with was a nasty single bar of soap. read more

Blech, yuck, yuck, yuck, it probably would have been cleaner to eat in the restroom. It was filthy inside. Despite my better judgement, we went ahead and ordered. Despite being the only order they were working on, it took a very long time to get our food. We ordered three double cheeseburgers and tater tots. I have no idea what took so long in our order. I definitely wasn't making fresh food for us. The tater tots were lukewarm and stale. The burgers were slightly warmer, but not by much. Burgers come with pickles, onions, and mustard. I'm a sauce gal, but there was WAY too much mustard even for me. My husband and I each choked down a burger each and tossed the last one and the tots. My kid refused to even try anything and she's a fast food junkie, so even the presentation and smell must have been off putting. The sole bright spot was the cashier. She was warm and friendly and delivered the "food" directly to our table. That girl needs to find a better place to work. read more

When we walked inside it smelled like a septic system. While standing for a couple minutes no one acknowledged we were wanting to order so we made a great decision to leave. If the food was anything like the smell you one could imagine how bad the food was. read more

Got my pulled pork and they were very sunny with the pork and BBQ sauce. What a joke. read more

Krystal - a half eaten sandwich with a bite taken out of it - Fast Food Near Me - Kodak, Tennessee

GM is a snotty nose child with a power trip. they sent a random drink from i quote "day shift" rather then refunding the amount for a shake. when arguing with this specimen of very little intelligence, she could only repeat "it's not our problem" highly advise finding another one. and highly advise KRYSTALS, to remove her from her position, as the reviews clearly show a lack of ability in her ability to be an adult and handle issues within the best interest of the company, rather then her laziness. I'll stick with White Castle. they don't allow the stupidity shown today read more

Krystal was my first "favorite restaurant" that I can remember. I was about four years old, and our parents would take us to the Krystal that was then across Baxter Street from the high-rise UGA dorms in Athens, Georgia. I've had Krystals only a couple of times as an adult. The last was 12 or 13 years ago in the wee hours, after a good French Quarter bender. In that context, they seemed like friggin' manna from Heaven. (But then, a half-loaf of Wonder Bread probably would have, too.) In the context of a long road trip during which I was stone-cold sober, though, I totally understand why I loved this crap when I was four. (Or hammered.) Krystal burgers are like baby food: all soft mush, including the cardboard-thin "meat" patty, which has almost the same texture as the fluffy white buns. The patty is also a rather unappetizing grey-ish color. Only the slightly soggy pickles offer an alternative, vaguely crunchy texture. Almost all of the flavor is supplied by the grilled onions, the yellow mustard, and the griddle grease Krystal smears on the buns. In short, Krystal burgers really aren't all that good. You really do need to be a child to love this pablum. Or really drunk. So this experience did not live up to the very fond memories. But, yeah, as road food, you could still do a bit worse.... Fries were surprisingly good. I hadn't recalled that. Upped at least a half-star for sentimentality. N.B. It was only relatively recently that I learned that this Southern "tradition" was basically a complete rip-off of a quite-a-bit- older Yankee tradition, White Castle. This was a somewhat depressing discovery. read more

We waited in the drive through for one hour. The way it is set up, once you enter the drive through you cannot get out. It was a horrible experience. If you are looking for fast, run from here. read more

I've stopped here before but we generally try to avoid this particular store. The food is generally ok but for some odd reason the men's bathroom is almost always nasty. I stopped in today- pee all around the urinals, toilet paper on the floor, flies & it stunk read more

I ordered a cheese krystal, a Krystal chick and a sprite, and I am still sitting here waiting in the drive through. Do go here if u have plans because I'm gonna miss my pharmacy window because it's taken 20+ minutes to go through a driveway with my order and one other car... Finally got to the window and they didn't even know what my order was. Took another 10 mins to get my food after telling my order 8 times which was : 1 chik mustard and pickle only, 1 cheese Krystal, 1 sprite. This makes me question the cleanliness of the kitchen with this much ridiculousness going on. I don't even wanna eat the food. Owner: do u offer me any incentive to visit again? Or am I just supposed to visit again knowing it might once again be a terrible decision? read more

If I could give this negative stars, I would. I waited over 30 minutes to get through the drive through, I usually love a good krystal burger. However, I ended up not getting all my food and the food I got was terrible soaked in grease. read more

It was horrible I wanted to puke after I came in to get food and saw the employee that was in charge of making my food wipe a booger on her shirt I sat down with my family and she said my food was ready I went up and she was coughing in it I told her to give me my food please and she did . I looked up at the roof and there was mold everywhere she sat down and put her feet on the table and complained about everything she could it was gross . The food now it was cold and over priced it was 50 dollars for 3 cheese samwitchs and 17 for Two chilli cheese fries over all disgusting I would not recommend at all the tables where also dirty. read more

we waited 10 minutes just to order in the drive-thru line. And on their website they said they can make burgers with no buns, and when I asked they said that they can't but can try. read more

This place is a mess if you're in a hurry. The food is good but be prepared to wait. It took over 30 mins to get our food. The place was slammed and the manager takes off for 15 mins while the employee are drowning trying to keep up. read more

Seriously?! Delivery fee when we pick it up!?! Ridiculous! Wait was way too long for the charge! Krystal's was Awesome Grubhub was awful! read more

Krystal - the receipt for the restaurant - Fast Food Near Me - Kodak, Tennessee

This place is sooooooooo slow. The food is good but be prepared to wait because the staff can never get it together. But I am a local and it's the closest krystals to me but if you aren't local I wouldn't suggest going to this one. There's one in Sevierville to go to that one. read more

Giving 3 stars is being generous. They are out of basic essentials such as coca-cola, napkins, burger boxes. I heard the young guy working the cash stand talking about it with his manager. Their supply truck was late. That I can forgive. 5 people in the building and service being super slow. What I can't forgive is being surrounded by flies and gnats. I Moved seats and ended up leaving early and not finishing my meal because of it. read more

Yummy goodness. I can't pass this place up. It is Soo good. I have to at least have six small Krystal burgers at a sitting. It is very bad for the heart but oh so good to get your burger fix. I have to add the it is Soo bad to have while traveling due to close confined spaces. My wife does not like me when I enjoy Krystals. Enough said. Cheers. read more

I'm not the type of guy to post reviews but tonight I am so we were leaving pigeon forge me and my family wanted krystal thinking it would be good but hellllll no waited 35 minutes for cold mushy food and than when I get home I throw up from food poisoning read more

If I could give this place zero stars I would. I'm from out of town and this was the only place open , I wish I ate nothing. It took 40 mins to get food, I understand there were two workers there, but if the food came out good that's one thing. THIS FOOD LOOK HORRENDOUS. I had the smallest bite of a slider burger and nearly had to pull trig because it was so bad. How is this place open, the fries were the only thing above decent the burger sliders HAVE TO GO read more

Yummm Krystal burgers! We stopped at Krystal on the way home from the Smokies, and it was delicious fast food; as good as it gets! Obviously, you're not getting gourmet from a cheap fast food spot, but the Krystal burgers were spot on sliders, and I was really impressed with the delicious chik sandwiches. For those of you from the midwest, think White Castle, but the mini burgers are all beef, a definite attraction! Also, Logan behind the counter was one of the best, friendliest cashiers that I've experienced at a fast food restaurant. Thanks, Logan! read more

Very slow service. Not very good food. Sat in drive thru forever. Cold hard nuggets instead of chicks

Super friendly staff here. This location also had some of the better tasting food we have had from Krystal's. We don't have anything like this near home so it is a treat for us. We enjoy the small burgers. The bun is soft and the meat is pretty good. The chili cheese fries were a hit with our son. read more

It's definitely fast food, but very hot and fresh. The service is great, too! The chicken sandwich was better than any other fast food sandwich I have had in the past. I can't speak for their burgers. Their fries are fresh and crispy but small. There's nothing extra special about this place, but it seems to be the best option in town...as far as fast food goes at least. read more

My wife got a takeout meal for us so I can only comment on the food. Really great bacon cheeseburgers and fries! September 28, 2014.

Left in drive through line for 25 minutes during half hour lunch break with no way to exit the line. Manager was in unapologetic. Never got to eat and they claimed they were waiting for food to be cooked but many customers were being served in the store and seen leaving with their orders. Will never go back. read more

We normally avoid places like Krystal and McDonalds like the plague. This place is why. If you need a good clean out, then go for it. We were sick most of the time we were in Pigeon Forge thanks to the Krystal. We were on our way to the hotel for our mountain getaway, my wife wound up in bed most of the trip. We should have trusted our instincts. read more

Food was cold and workers were not very friendly. Noticed that there were a high about of gnats and flys. Kitchen area from what I could tell was not very clean. Really wish the owners cared enough to clean it up. read more
