    The outside of the restaurant!

    If you are ever in Lillington or Driving through make sure to stop and grab a smash burger! The menu is small and you know what that means they know what they make and they make it well! Burgers, Dogs, and Fries! Great service! Kind staff! Delicious food! I also say you can judge any "American food place by their French fries and this place makes theirs right! Crunch on the outside soft on the inside!

    Double Poochie with fries!

    Eat local!! Father and son shop. The son informed me the spot is named after his grandfather. Super tasty and convenient. I called it in and it was ready within 5-10 minutes. Small hole in the wall feel. Super clean on the inside. The meal total was a couple more dollars than McDonalds. I'd rather pooch's every time. Worth the extra $2. Will be back again.

    Dressed and ... something, I forgot.

    The food was great. Everyone loved their burgers. The fries are really good. I definitely recommend getting a side of the burger sauce to dip your fries and burger in. The lady who works the counter is very friendly and cool. It's a cozy little mom and pop shop type of place. Definitely recommend. I couldn't find anything wrong with this place. They have bottled drinks and no fountain drinks but that wasn't an issue for us.

    Smasher burger.

    10/10 smashed burgers and hot dogs! Best burgers I've had in a while. Hot dogs are very filling and have a fresh taste to them.

    The fries were extra crispy in the best way and the macaroni salad is delicious.

    Served me a raw big arch tonight. Tried to call but phone is off the hook.i ate a quarter of it…read morebefore realizing it.

    I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction with the service I received at your Lillington,…read moreNC location on 102 Cornelius Dr. This incident occurred on June 21, following a pre-scheduled order I placed on June 19 for a prayer breakfast intended to celebrate the fathers and men of our church. Upon arriving at the restaurant at 8:30 AM to pick up my order, I was initially greeted politely by one of your team members. However, the situation quickly deteriorated when I was informed that no order was on file under the church's name, despite my prior payment and confirmation. The team member could not find any record, and it took considerable time for this to be addressed. Throughout the ordeal, I faced continuous delays and excuses regarding the preparation of the order. At 8:53 AM, only part of the order was handed over, but it was clear that important items--including coffee and condiments--were missing. When I pointed this out, the team member expressed surprise, indicating that they were unaware such items had been included. During this time, I noticed other customers leaving in frustration due to similar problems with order accuracy and wait times. Despite these evident issues, the manager failed to step in promptly to provide any form of service recovery. Instead, I overheard the manager describing me as an "angry customer" to staff members, an inaccurate characterization given that neither I nor my companion raised our voices or behaved disrespectfully. When I addressed this with the manager, I requested that she correct her language, explaining that we were frustrated--not angry--due to the failure to have the order ready at the promised time. The manager then attributed the issue to incorrect order timing or date information but declined to accept responsibility or offer a meaningful apology. Furthermore, the manager's detailed explanation of coffee preparation was unwelcome; as a paying customer, I expect to receive the items I purchased without unnecessary commentary. The coffee we eventually received was delivered in wet boxes with difficult-to-open spouts, further compounding our disappointment. To make matters worse, upon arrival at the church, we found that packaging was mislabeled, requiring us to open every wrapper to confirm the contents, causing significant inconvenience during the event. This experience was not only disappointing but also unacceptable for an establishment of McDonald's stature. It has caused me to decide against returning to this particular location in the future. I hope this feedback is taken seriously, and I encourage your team to review their procedures to prevent similar issues from recurring. Pat
