For fast food, this is pretty damn good. Food is made-to-order and was delicious for a small-town restaurant. Plenty of ice cream options if you have a sweet tooth, but I was craving actual food. I ordered the breaded cauliflower. My traveling partner ordered the California burger and we split an order of french fries. The french fries are crinkle-cut, large, and were cooked perfectly. Generous portion for around $2.65. The cauliflower was breaded, but doesn't have the cheese inside. To counter this, you are given a large container of cheddar cheese sauce to dip them in. We used the cheese sauce for the fries and I got the ranch. The ranch was cheap stuff out of a bottle and detracted from the overall flavor. My friend enjoyed her hamburger--it had grilled onion, mayo, ketchup, and pickle. She enjoyed it immensely and believed that they used fresh beef from a local locker. Many kudos if that's the case. As an aside, Red Onion doesn't take cards. From a business perspective, I understand why you don't want to run a bunch of cards for smaller transactions. But its almost a must in this day and age. Fortunately, my friend had cash and she was able to cover me in return for me buying her coffee later in the trip.

Sign outside the drive-up, on Hwy 55.

A dying breed of fast-food; the drive-up hamburger stand. We were told that the ground beef is locally-sourced. The burger meat has a mellow flavor, the fries are fine, and the cheese-balls are salty. There are picnic tables on both sides of the building. I'd go back.

Overall, food was good, decently priced, no cards and Side of flies come free. Changing the garbage more frequently should be helpful.

My wife, 10 year old daughter and myself were looking for some good food and found this place just…read moreabout a mile and a half off 94. This place has a long bar with 3-4 large high tops(sits 6 each). They had an additional room for overflow but was not lite up at the time. Small bar. There was about 8 people there all sitting at the bar, one bar tender. As soon as we seated ourselves, we were greeted and got our drink order in and it came fast. Extremely friendly! This was very nice as we were feeling a little awkward to start. The menu was huge and it was mostly burgers with a large app selection with some specialty items like an enchilada type thing and chicken sandwiches. I got the chicken sandwich l, wife got the enchilada thing and my daughter got a plan cheeseburger and frys. The bartender was keeping g a close eye on us and we never felt a touch of neglect or slow service. I wondered how the bartender would manage our food order and the patrons. However, to my surprise she absolutely knocked it out the park and completely surprised! Our food came out quick and was absolutely perfect. I really expected my wife's enchiladas thing ( it was a quesadilla). Was the wrong thing to order, it turned out to be the best. Chicken was not dry at all. Service was perfect. We ate and got out of there and prices were great. If bringing a kid like we did, I would do it around 6 -7 as people were filing in around 7:30 for the evening drink and was time to leave with a kid. I would come back anytime!

Hot shots has delicious food, great drinks, a fun atmosphere and wonderful management!read more

Stopped by while on road for work. Like many rural communities this is a small town that probably…read morehad its hey day sometime between WW1 and the depression and there is not a lot to choose from if you need to grab a sit down meal. But this small main drag has a decent old school butcher shop, a bar and seems to be a cattle center. So this Mexican restaurant is right in the middle and is pretty fresh and vibrant looking for the area. If cleanliness and pride of ownership is a plus for you, these people are top of the heap. While clearly an old building and space the place while basic is authentic decor with Mexican music that is never too loud, and southwestern mex vibe. The food was really good. For basic simple cuisine it is oddly easy to screw up or skimp on but this was amazingly fresh for ingredients. Nothing sitting around all day. The fajitas have generous portions and the veggies and steak were done just right. Even refried beans, which I typically leave and experience as brown paste other places, were dang good. For the prices it was the deal of century. I was curious as to their shrimp items but did not venture to see what they're using. I'm fine with frozen in this neck of the woods but I'd not want factory breaded stuff. Next time. Having eaten Mexican food for ages and in restaurants in Mexico as well, it's always a kick to find a place in the rural Midwest that is doing a better job than most. If you're in the area and you're looking for a decent real deal give this place a shot.

Great value. Nice Mexican food. Will do this again. Good service. Nice people…read more Had lunch. Enchiladas for me. Wife had tacos. Tacos were awesome. Enchiladas were good. Family run. Great addition to food options in the area. Will do this one agAin!
