There was so much meat on these ribs I could only eat 3 ! My husband loved their Brussel sprouts and green beans. My daughter had the pulled pork sandwich and it had lots of delicious meat on it. Our waitress was very friendly and was very attentive. My only complaint would be that they get bigger butter tubs for their baked potato. They were very tiny tubs with a big potato (had to ask for extra and extra !) if we are this way in future we will definitely stop by again !

Two stars because the service was good. The food, not so much. What happened here, this place used…read moreto be excellent. This time I got a pork steak, catfish, and brisket. The pork steak was over smoked or who knows what, dried out and not good. The brisket was so dry, it fell apart but was like eating thick cut cardboard. That texture you get when you lave a roast in the crockpot a few days too long. The catfish was so rubbery it almost made a squeaking noise against your teeth when you bite into it. My Aunt & Uncle had warned me about it before I went here and I should have listened. Not sure if they have new owners or what but...

The prices are very reasonable. I had the pork tenderloin sandwich with fried mushrooms, and both were very good. The tenderloin was on Texas toast-unusual, but a great idea! My lunch buddy had a burger and fries, and he enjoyed both. Nothing fancy about the decor, but who needs that when the food is so good? We split a cherry fried pie, and that was the perfect ending to a great lunch! Check them out if you're in the Ironton/Arcadia St Francis (Francois?) Mt area!

The name of the restaurant is wrong here on Yelp! The correct name is Shelly's Smash Burger…read more Staff were very friendly. Ingredients were all fresh. Prices very reasonable. It's not really a truck stop, but it is part of a convenience store at a Phillips 66 gas station. The only options for burgers in Waterloo near where we are, are either fast food or Denny's, Applebees, etc. It's a bit of a drive down Rte 3 to Red Bud, but if you want a very good burger at a reasonable price it's worth making the trip.

I went out on a limb trusting some other Yelp reviews of this place and decided to stop on our way…read moreback from the wine trails in Southern Illinois. We had a hard time ordering. It was a little bit confusing on if we went to the main checkout or the one in the corner, which is kind of like a weird restaurant/ gambling area. Anyway, after we figure out what we wanted we waited for the order and ate it on the drive home. It did not package well, even from the store to the car which was like a 10-second walk. The fries were mushy and gross, and I feel like the burger was completely underwhelming. I think steak 'n shake has some of the best burgers. If we were going to stop somewhere local we probably should have done that. That. There's nothing to write home about and they offer a discount on some ice cream that's hand scooped, my partner got some of that and tried it and it was completely freezer burnt. So needless to say we won't be back, but it was I guess. Guess interesting to check out a local spot that I've been curious about. 3/10 won't try again and wouldn't recommend.
