    We came from Manti, UT for a viewing. They were out of everything we wanted at the drive thru that…read morewe were at in Manti so we decided to drive to Nephi which was about 50 minutes away. We Googled the closest drive thru ands came across Nebo Queen. It was dark by the time we got there and we saw a menu board on the side of the building. This sign was black with no backlighting in the menu items and had the prices on a white background. We could only see the prices. We thought that was odd so we drove to the end of the building and found the same menu board that was lit up. That was really weird. My brother-in-law ordered a grill cheese with tater tots, my wife ordered chicken nuggets with ranch, and I ordered a mushroom burger with tater tots. My brother-in-law was starving so in think he just inhaled his food without tasting it. He said he liked it. Btw, how hard is it to screw up a grill cheese sandwich? My burger was over $9. It was as small as a hamburger from McDonald's. It had Swiss cheese, barely any mushrooms, and 3 pickles on it. McDonald's hamburger tastes like a gourmet burger compared to this. It was greasy, the pickles did not have any business being in the burger, and it was OVERPRICED!!! The tater tots were greasy and the tater tots that I had at the Intermountain Care Hospital cafeteria in Midvale, was 1000% better! My wife's chicken nuggets were also greasy but also tasted like grease. It had the texture of fried fish. My brain was confused. We paid $30.10 for the bill and got the feeling like we just ate all the grease at Long John Silver. At least when you eat at L.J.S. the flavor is good. Skip this place and go to Mc Donald's. You'll pay less and won't feel like you're going to break out in zits afterwards.

    Was down in Nephi for a volleyball tournament (all-day) and when there was a break I ventured out…read moreto see what I miss every time I drive North or South on I-15. I passed Nebo Queen a couple of times and thought - "I'm really craving a Hot Dog!" - so I pulled in (didn't do drive-thru, I went in) "Small Town Greasy Spoon" sure, but I expected (wanted) nothing less. I ordered the Foot-Long Deluxe dog (all the fixings) and got it to go. A little over 5 minutes and I had my dog in my hand, and I just opened the bag and started to eat it by my car. The staff was super friendly and kind - even though it was kinda busy. Paid a little over $6 but overall, a solid hot dog with good toppings (grilled onion, cheese, lettuce, mayo, ketchup, relish)! At first, I wished it was a little more...but when I finished, I was satisfied. Sure I could've gone to the "big national chain" spots, but I like to support local businesses- yes, even the small-town greasy spoons! Would I go back? Sure would! Normally I would've got the combo (fries / onion rings / fried cheese curds) but like I said, I just wanted a hot dog! If you have a little time during your travels, this is a nice alternative to the "Big Guys."

    I went to Rockwell ice cream last year when I was staying in town. So I thought I would try it…read moreagain this year and was very disappointed. I got one scoop that that was half melted and two other ones. I walked out the door down to the corner and then realized I left my small package of macarons on the counter when I paid. So about 90 seconds later, I returned and asked if I could get them. The one that helped me said that she threw them in the garbage I said OK can I have them still? She got this funny look on her face and ask if I really wanted them, I said yes. I do not know any business It would throw a customers package away just after they leave. It took her about a minute to bring them back out. I said thank you, but then I noticed there was only one left in the bag. I asked her where the other ones had gone to. She said she had no idea. I have no idea how a bag with the top that was folded over and crushed when I left it and folded it over when I got it back had two of the three items missing. Guess we'll have to find some other ice cream place when I come to Provo. My wife was disappointed to not get the macarons. At least they could've been honest..

    My first time trying Rockwell ice cream and it was 10/10. All the ice cream flavors sounded so…read moregood, but my friends and I settled on Biscoffi, Strawberries and Cream, and Rockwell Road. The Strawberries and Cream and Rockwell Road were good, but the Biscoffi was phenomenal. If you love biscoff cookies this is the icecream for you! Every bite had the perfect amount of biscoff flavor without it being too overwhelming. The strawberries and cream flavor was fresh and fruity, and surprisingly was very light. The Rockwell Road was not as interesting as the menu made it seem. It tasted like rich dark chocolate icecream, but still solid nevertheless. I was afraid it might've been three heavy choices, but they were all delicious. The only downside is that I hate how they pile one flavor on top of the next, so you have to work through one layer/flavor before getting to the next. Next time, I'll just be getting the Biscoffi alone. Service was fast and this place was packed at 10pm at night. They have a small seating area inside, but my friends and I just took ours to go.
