My brother and I were heading home after a great day of fishing at Clear Lake and decided to stop…read moreat Elkins Frosty for a classic burger, fries, and shake. The restaurant has that nostalgic roadside burger stand feel that instantly takes you back. We arrived just before the dinner rush, and within minutes the place was packed. The cook was friendly, attentive, and handled the sudden rush as well as anyone could. They even had to bring in another employee to keep up with the line, which says a lot about how popular this place is. I ordered the double cheeseburger. It came loaded with fresh toppings, but the beef patties were a bit underwhelming. They weren't bad by any means--they just didn't quite match the thick, juicy burgers shown in the photos. Even so, the burger was flavorful and enjoyable. The fries were a pleasant surprise. They were thick, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and excellent with a little ketchup. The real star of the meal was the strawberry milkshake. It was outstanding--thick, creamy, and packed with strawberry flavor. Easily a five-star shake and the highlight of our visit. My brother mentioned that he had stopped here years ago and remembered the burger patties being noticeably thicker, so perhaps they've changed over time. Overall, this was a solid roadside burger stop with friendly service, great fries, and an exceptional milkshake. While the burger didn't quite meet my expectations, I'd definitely stop again when passing through for a quick, satisfying meal--and I'd order that strawberry shake every single time.

No greeting as we approached and no thank you after we ordered and paid. I ordered the three finger combo with lemonade for dine in. When the order was ready it was package up to-go.

This restaurant is open, and new inside with loud music playing. Tables were clean. Rated it four stars due to the three tiny chicken pieces.

She eventually came back around and said we won't charge you this time but this is our policy. We expressed gratitude. Wide variety of veggies and meat compared to the Mongolian in Roseville I would say that you had to add extra sauce just to get some flavor, but outside of that good quality.

I placed my order through Yelp and wanted to be in and out cuz the thing that scares me most about being in shady spots is getting my ride dinged by clueless potheads, dingbats, or just haters! Wasn't as quick as I hoped cuz this was also a bz gas station/food mart. Aye yiy, yiy! There were peeps in there I definitely did not wanna stand too close too! Anyway, when I finally got up and asked for my order the dude started to put it together. Really?!! It should've been all bagged up for me to grab go! Ok, ok, you didn't want my grub to get cold and stale. Fiiiiine. Very crispy, moist fried chic! Liked it! Honey butter biscuits were super yummy, love not having to mess with packets of honey to sweeten my butter biscuits! That alone stands out for me! The potato wedges were crispy on the outside and nice and soft on the inside. YUMMY!!!

Unfortunately, they were out of the chow fun, but we'll definitely be back to try it next time. The customer service was a 10/10. The woman who helped us was incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive. The food arrived hot, fresh, and packed with flavor. Each table was stocked with everything you could need, including Sriracha, chili oil, oyster sauce, soy sauce, salt, and pepper, which was a nice touch. The restaurant itself was clean and well-maintained, creating a comfortable dining experience. Overall, this place is absolutely worth trying. It has officially earned a spot in my top three favorite restaurants in the area. Such a hidden gem!

All You Can Eat-ish... Bar-B-Que…read more.. I was excited to find out there was a Mongolian BBQ in Auburn. For weeks, my coworker and I have been trying to get our schedules lined up so we can go try it out together. Finally, tonight was that night. We parked in a large parking lot around the corner and noticed it was not busy. One of the employees was sitting outside (outdoor seating is available) on his phone, but he was so welcoming and opened the door for us. He took us to a booth and gave us the run down. Sit. Order your drinks, and go get food. Go back for more, because it's ayce... Tony was really nice and had a great smile! He told us how it works - The server would be over to get out drink order. Then, she brought us some crispy wonton chips with some sweet & sour, a cup of soup each, and a small bowl of rice to share... although there are signs that say "do not share," lol. I'm not sure why you can't share if everyone is paying the same price and eating almost the same exact thing... especially, if it's ayce for everyone... It was exciting to see what they had to offer. After finishing the soup, we walked around the wall to fill your bowl with meats (choice of pork, chicken, beef, or lamb), noodles, vegetables, and at the very end, the flavorful liquid. These liquids make your dish. You can put on a simple teriyaki, but that will make it sweet. There is a house sauce, sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger, wine, vinegar, and kung pao sauce. If you aren't sure what you like, there is a "Sum's Sauce Recommendation" recipe up for your convenience. **Be sure to tip the grill cooks!! The best way I have noticed to do this is to grab 2 bowls. One of for your food and the other, you will want to fill to the at least half way with your liquids. The saucier the better with me! I spoke to the cashier in the front... who told me it's $21 to dine in, and $17 to take it to go since the person taking theirs to go wouldn't be ayce.... (never mentioning the extra charge.) When we sat down, it felt like something in it was missing... maybe a little salt? Usually, I nail my own sauce recipes. Good amount of soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger... garlic, chili oil... a little kung pao... Since we weren't too happy with the flavor of our first bowl, and finished just over half... and this was an ayce... we decided to go back and tweak our creation. This one had better flavor (I added A LOT of soy sauce, ginger, and sesame oil), but I seriously could still not taste the sesame oil and this trip, and I used a lot (is there such thing as sesame water?). Then, I wondered if they were using low sodium soy sauce (i asked, and it was regular). I'm wondering if all these sauces are watered down since the soy sauce and ginger sauce were lacking major flavor. The sesame oil couldn't even be detected... so either it is old or a not so good brand. I figured I would just take the rest home and fix up the flavor... and since I overheard a server offer to box someone's meal up...I thought that was neat that we were able to take out food home...turns out... we had to pay to take home the rest of our bowls(extra$9), or pay extra to not take it home... a "waste" charge(extra$8). When we first walked in and we asked how this Mongolian BBQ worked, they left out the part about paying for waste/ or taking home the rest of your food for a charge. If we had not gone back for a 2nd bowl, we would not have had to pay the extra charge because we would've just not finished it and left. I felt a little ripped off. Of course, after we were ready to pay, they pointed to the sign on the wall that we did not see... in fairness, we did ask how they operated and we were told to go get more... but we were not told about the extra charge. I felt cheated. Over all, it was not bad, it just was not good. It was edible, but definitely not worth the extra charge.. i didn't even want to bring it home, but with the extra charge, I figured I would fix it up at home to make it taste better. This brought our bill to close to $60... $30 split each. Not worth it. I feel like a great honest business that is confident in what they serve would have been up front about the charges before springing them on you in the end. They even brought us the bill without the extra charge when they noticed we were close to finishing, but then took the check back to add on the extra charge. The signs should have been pointed out. Service was great. Food was not anything to be excited about. Day after, I warmed up my food with a few drops of a sesame oil that I have.. it added 10 times more flavor than the 2 ladles of soy sauce and 3 ladles of sesame oil that I added at this restaurant.
