I was waiting for Mel from Mel's diner to walk out from the kitchen scratching his backside. :) The staff knows all of the patrons by first name.

Driving past, this restaurant may just look like another run off the mill hamburger joint. But…read moredon't let looks fool you- this restaurant is easily one of the best in Decatur for a plethora of reasons. -Food The food here is absolutely amazing. Have a crave for delicious burgers topped with all the classics? Hungry for some signature crinkle cut fries? Whatever your eager taste buds desire, Krekel's will deliver.

So yeah, service is pretty good. -Final Verdict If you want delicious, Krekel's is the place for you 5/5 Would Strongly Reccomend

I see why one of the other locations I rated has a poor ordering system you walk up to a bunch of…read morepeople not in a line waiting on one of the 2 windows to open to ask who is next. Probably the worst ordering system I've ever encountered. In fact some jerk cut in front of me and another person because of this failed system. They don't even have any literature explaining this poor system either. Finally get my order in and take a seat, ordered the triple cheeseburger and fries and a coke. It didn't take long to get and have to say, food was good. The burger seemed a tad smaller than other locations. Food was a more expensive than other locations too, Springfield location is the worst and most expensive though. They don't have indoor seating, fyi. I would return, but would recommend preordering to avoid their poor service.

We say ourselves and waited for about 10 mins for someone to come to our table and greet us. When no one came, I went to ask for a menu, and as I was standing waiting to ask, I was snapped at with a rude, "What is it"?" When I kindly asked for a menu, I was rudely told, "We see you; we know you're there. We'll come to you." Not feeling confident the service would be good and that we would get our food in a timely manner, we decided to leave and hit up Dunkin. Can't speak for the food but if you're wanting a pleasant dining experience, not confident you're going to find it here.
