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.

Their drinks were good but if you are a beer drinker you are mostly looking at the normal, run of the mill lagers. They did have a couple of IPAs but nothing special craft brewery-ish.

The young lady provided just the right amount of attention and was super friendly. This place would be an excellent place to frequent if you were a local.

So after seeing all the billboards on the interstate over the years I decided to stop in. I selected some brats, snack sticks that were refrigerated, unlike the quick sticks at the store and some jerky. Snack sticks were excellent and similar to a local butcher shop near my house, however the jerky was awful. Hard and tooth breaking, it also emitted some fat/lard after opening the bag. It may have just been a bad batch but not sure I would go back just based on that experience. I have yet to try the brats so will update if I think they bring the grade up. Friendly staff though! Will consider giving them another shot and hoping it was a bad jerky batch. Posting some pictures of the jerky and packaging. White stuff is all oozed out fat after I opened the package.

Traveling through Missouri we were in the mood for a burger. We found this quaint " little gem " in…read morethe midst of St. James , MO. I came across this Slow cooked Italian Beef sandwich. I had to try it. Let me tell you! If you're in the mood for comfort food that hits all the right notes, look no further than the Slow-Cooked Italian Beef Sandwich at Rich's Famous Burgers. This hearty classic is the kind of sandwich that stops conversations. Tender, slow-roasted Italian beef is piled high onto a fresh, crusty hoagie roll that holds up beautifully under the weight of all that juicy, flavorful goodness. The meat is seasoned to perfection--rich with garlic, oregano, and a hint of red pepper--and soaked in its own savory jus that takes hours to build and seconds to fall in love with. What takes it over the top? A generous layer of melted provolone cheese, subtly sharp and buttery, blanketing the beef in creamy decadence. This beef sandwich is a symphony of textures and bold, satisfying flavors. Pair it with a side of crispy fries or a simple salad, and you've got yourself a great meal. Although not original to Missouri it's a have to have at this place. It's a must-have for sandwich lovers.
