Wow! As some know, I love Dive Restaurants! And this one, checks all the boxes!! First, I'll say…read morethis experience was very emotional for me, please read to the end. We pulled in a parking place right in front of the Dairy Center mid afternoon, As you walk in they have a small counter to the left and a couple booths and tables to the right. All the walls are decorated with things from before the 60's! Also, they will also serve you in your car! We were quickly greeted by a very friendly smile. I started off with a Pepsi, even thought I'm a Coke guy. I didn't mind because this place is special. After a few sips of Pepsi, we ordered. I got a cheese burger with onion rings, ok one of the best I have ever had and the Onion rings were the best!!, My oldest Grand Daughter also got a Cheeseburger with fries and polished it off and loved the crinkle fries! The youngest Grand Daughter got a Grilled Cheese! Our waitress was amazing, Hannah went above and beyond to make my Grand Daughters feel very special that day!! She made the oldest smile sooo Big after a VIP experience it was very heart warming! What Hannah didn't know at the time was that the oldest was diagnosed with Leukemia just after Easter, and smiles do not come that often. As I took a picture of those two, they made me tear up.... There is so much good in the world and I wish everyone would have seen Hannah's beautiful heart that she shared with these girls! Also, the gentleman flipping the burgers was amazing as well, he could be the owner! He was soft spoken with a giving heart! If you live in the area, please stop in and say thanks to them, and enjoy the food and service! If you are passing by, don't pass up this hidden Gem! As my friend and neighbor Lee sings...God Bless the USA!

It's in this really charming historic building (apparently where First Lady Edith Wilson was born), and the whole place has that nostalgic mid-1900s vibe that just feels cozy and fun. Super cute spot. Our waitress was also really friendly and made us feel welcome right away, which always makes a difference. That said... the food itself was just kind of average. The hot dogs and fries weren't bad at all, just nothing that really stood out. For a place that's been around for over 100 years, I guess I was expecting something a little more memorable. It ended up tasting like something I could grab at a random country gas station. Overall, I'm glad we stopped in for the atmosphere and history, but probably wouldn't go out of my way for the food alone.

The interior is rustic and comfortable. Service was very friendly and kind. Maybe not the speediest but one person was taking care of the whole dining room so I understand.

The hot dog was pretty good. The buffalo chips were delicious. A tasty meal all in all. The restaurant is cash only but they can give you a receipt to pay in the convenience store section with a card. Super simple. Harold's is a good place to stop and grab a bite if you're in the area.

I had a footlong all the way with fries and finished it off with Krazy Kolor Ice Cream. It was all yummy, but nothing any more special than another burger and fries joint. The establishment itself is rather messy. I wouldn't say dirty, but tons of tables empty and un-wiped. Bits and pieces of trash here and there. The drink counter had stuff spilled all over it and trash on it as well. The workers here have no personality. We've been here twice in the last six months and everyone we've interacted with has been dull and unlively, which is a bummer. They have a drive-through which is great if you want a hot dog or burger and fries to go in a rather quick time and there is patio seating available.

They have delicious ice cream, service is usually really good and the restaurant and bathrooms stay pretty clean. My issue tonight is only one thing, but it's a significant thing and nothing that is in the employees control. The menu items are NOT correct. There was a price on the menu that said the soup combo was 6.99 and the cashier stated they couldn't do the chicken stew as the soup combo and that was fine. The hand written sign on the register said the chicken stew was $6.99. Our total came up to $43 for 3 people and I thought that was kind of high, but we then I remembered we ordered the soup and a wrap extra to try so we figured it was right. After paying I got to looking and everything was rang up at at least $0.50 extra per item than the menu said. One of the items on the menu was $5.29 but rang up as $5.92 and so it seems like it's an intentional overcharge on items but making it appear to be the same price by just flipping numbers. We aren't really thrilled with that. $0.50 extra per item isn't a ton, but it adds up and I'd rather you just list the correct prices for sure. We didn't bother the kids working with it because in the past we have been told that they have mo way of changing what the register says. So food is good but watch what the prices are ringing up as !

But honestly I still go back for the hot dogs, it's just something about the mixture of chili, ketchup, hot dog and toasted bun, you know you either want the footlong or two regular size. It's locally owned, it's authentic, and not much has changed since it opened. Kermit's was our first restaurant on the day Covid restrictions were lifted. Wish they still had emplyees that would come out and bring the order to the car but it's so Instagram worthy to go in and pretend the year is 1976.

Then, this year happened. I wish I knew what happened, but Odell's is BACK! They have the same yummy food they were known for and the service is great! They are so friendly and prompt. We always joking called it "Slow-dells" because of how they would take 45 minutes to bring the food AFTER you called it in prior to driving there. Now, we pulled up and placed the order and it was out piping hot within 10 minutes. Absolutely amazing! I don't know what they changed, but they've cracked the code and I wish them all the success in the world! Our food: Mom got a cheeseburger basket, which was perfect! Husband and Dad got Big Moe baskets, again perfect. I got a hotdog (for old time's sake) and it was everything I remembered as a kid. So delicious and nostalgic. I also had a chicken tender basket and it was good. It wasn't the same chicken tenders and bbq sauce that it used to be, but like most places, that is hard to keep the exact same over the years, especially with varying food service providers and whatnot. If you previously had stopped going here, give them another chance. You'll be pleasantly surprised!
