Very rarely do the drink machines work properly... but if they work, the sodas are flat or the wrong mix of flavors. There are hardly ever any of the hot food items out and ready.. if so, they do not look at all appetizing. Lately (the last 6 months) there are at least 1/3 to 1/2 of the gas tanks out of order for days on end and it seems the cops have had to be there quite a lot as well. It was a great stop for a while and they remodeled.. which had me try it again several times... but it is worse and has really continued to go down hill. Disappointed. I hope the new Texaco two doors down offers competition and either has Circle K get their act together or closes them down for good.

From the time I can remember McDonald's was the first American fast food establishment I ate at…read more Growing up in a Muslim household the only foods I could eat had to be "halal" therefore the fish filet sandwich was the only thing on the menu we could eat and to this I swear to it I won't get anything else off the menu and they never disappoint. Everything is perfection when it comes to taste although presentation could be better it doesn't take away from the simplicity yet rich flavor and the flavor comes from the tarter sauce and crispy filet and not to mention the sweet bun. All in all I have never once been disappointed and the fries and soda make it a perfect combo. I like how due to covid I don't have to go in and order and drive through isn't that bad depending on the time you go and service also can depend on the time you go. I for one have come to terms with that I'll wait for that fish filet meal, only good memories associated with it.

She was quirky, fun, and knew the menu! The food was great, it was exactly the way you want these classics to taste. It was fresh, flavorful, and the prices per portion were just right. The house Greek salad dressing was so good I would drink it if I could. I wish I could buy it or find a recipe, I would eat salad every meal. The restaurant is historic and has all the vibes of a classic eatery that make you feel good. We loved it, best meal I've had in a long while.

Fortunately, this is a big restaurant and I had reservations! The decor in here is very old chic. It reminded me of my dad's favorite Italian restaurant in South Philly. He would love it here. We were seated fairly quick and provided with menus including a summer cocktail menu. I got a peach martini which was fabulous. Hubby ordered a banana breeze cocktail but they were out of banana liquor. He was bummed. Instead he got the strawberry Long Island iced tea. I tasted it and it was really good. We ordered our entrees which came with a salad or gumbo. I got the gumbo. It was sooo good. I enjoyed every bite. For my entree I got the Texas special which has the Greek steak, chicken and the seafood au gratin. All of it was delicious. I loved everything. Highly recommend especially if you want to try a little of everything. Of course, we had to get dessert. I had to try the baklava cheesecake since that seemed to be popular. Hubby got the chocolate almond pie. Hubby's was really really good. Mine was interesting for sure. Hubby tried it and said it tasted like pumpkin and he was right! Normally I love pumpkin but I didn't love this. It was okay. I just wouldn't get it again. Service was great. Lots of people coming around refilling drinks, bringing food, taking away plates, etc. we will be back for sure!

I was super excited about trying this out as I know many years ago my grandfather used to frequent different Hardee's locations. I was pleasantly surprised I enjoyed my meal so much. The price wasn't bad at all, the service was really quick (not to mention they took me a little after breakfast time (10:30am) which I highly appreciated it) and the food was fresh! My biscuit was GREAT! It was hot, fresh, and large. I struggled to finish it due to the size, and the large hashbrowns was actually a really good size as well! The Diet Dr Pepper was crispy and bubbly. I struggle finding places who care for their fountain unit, but this was obviously spot on! I look forward to my next meal at this Hardee's.

Because of the intense Alabama heat, we chose to sit inside, though they have a really nice screened-in patio available. The restaurant is intimate but well laid out, featuring a couple of distinct dining areas and a bar. Since it was our first time, our server, Daniella, recommended the candied bacon bombs to start. They came with a side of cheese curds, and both were absolutely delicious. Even as small as the curds were, they had a perfect cheese pull! For our mains, I ordered the cowboy burger with an added egg and a side of sweet potato fries, while my son chose the shrimp and grits. My burger was incredible, a solid 9.5 out of 10. My son rated his shrimp and grits a 7, though he has a lot of experience with that dish to compare it to. Daniella provided fantastic service, checking in at just the right times without hovering. I later realized I forgot to ask if they do anything special for birthdays, but honestly, my son was probably glad I forgot! Overall, it was a great meal, excellent service, and a very cool environment.
