The staff have assigned tasks that makes everything move smoothly and efficiently. There's a "bar back" like staff member whose job is to retrieve missing items on the line. That's great management skills! Anyway, I have a specific way I like my order that bugged the personal at the Sneaky Pete's I used to patronize. I made my order and the cashier that was new didn't understand it. However, the owner (was the one preparing orders) heard me and assured me it would be prepared correctly. In less than 5 minutes everyone in front of me orders were freshly prepared and I was on my way. My hot dogs were exactly as I liked and in the containers I requested! The 2nd time I visited, the owner remembered me and asked if my previous order was acceptable?! She asked my name and that started our relationship that made me drive the longer trip to this restaurant rather than the nearby unit less than 2 miles from my home. I was treated respectfully as a customer and person. I don't like dry sandwiches. I always ask for extra sauce and for my hot dogs not to be wrapped in the parchment papers. The styrofoam boxes don't absorb the moisture out of the hot dogs. This owner has always cheerfully prepared my orders as ordered and bagged it thoughtfully. The only problem I've experienced here was disappointment they are no longer opened on Saturday. I totally understand even though it's when I usually want hot dogs. So I strongly recommend this restaurant! Having staff that treats customers with respect, not making snide comments to coworkers about my preference and intentionally making my order wrong is why this business is thriving and that other business is closed!

Since it was lunchtime, the line was long, but I expected that. I was on my lunch break and used the drive-thru, so I didn't plan to dine in. When I reached the window, the staff recognized me right away, which made the wait feel shorter and more welcoming. Their friendly attitude really stood out. My food was hot, fresh, and prepared exactly how I like it. The fries were hot, and the hot dogs were cooked just right. The staff is consistently professional and takes pride in learning their customers and getting orders correct, which keeps me coming back

Classic Burger and BBQ definitely could use a serious face-lift. But I guess that could be said for the whole neighborhood that Classic Burger and BBQ was in. But I have to add that the service here was extremely friendly and professional and the place was also clean. I went with the burger and French fries combo. It came out pretty quickly. They call your number and you go grab your food. So, one thing that I did notice is that they did not melt my cheese on my cheeseburger. The bun was also a bit too big for the cheeseburger. Still, it was a decent cheeseburger and French fries. I have definitely had better burgers and I definitely had worse, but it is still good to see an old-school burger joint operating when so many look to the fast-food giant names instead of these local places.

Food- I ordered the pulled pork sandwich sauce on side, and onion rings. The pork was rather dry and plain in flavor. The barbecue sauce lacked viscosity and tasted like warm ketchup and vinegar. The onion rings were bland , and saturated with grease; but did come with a sauce that complimented them. Price- considering that onions are a cheap vegetable and pork is less than $2.00 per pound wholesale. I cannot justify almost $16.00 for this lunch. Breakdown a pound of onion rings cost $1.00 6-8 ounces of pork maybe $1.00 Bread .50. No mystery here why folks are tired of overpriced food in 2026. It is not inflation. It is the overhead that a business owner must absorb.

As for the food, the ribs though advertised as incredibly tender were good but didn't quite live up to the hype. They weren't tough, but they also weren't that "falling-off-the-bone" kind of tender many rib I look for. The baked beans were solid and flavorful enough to complement the meal. The fried okra had a great crisp texture, clearly fried with care, but it was missing any noticeable seasoning, which made it feel a bit flat flavor-wise. Overall, Big Doon's offers a friendly atmosphere and satisfying comfort food, though the kitchen could take the flavor up a notch to match the warmth of the service.

Just because I wanted you to get the full experience I ate every bite and I must say thatlt everything was perfect. I could have added some of the dozen or so toppings but I was trying to be be somewhat conservative in my choice.

I would go as far as saying I like a dripping messy burger or hot dogs. Right now I'm unable to cook at home otherwise they would not have me there paying them and then begging them to please add more sauce. We are talking about maybe 2 Tablespoons per hot dog to please a customer. Instead they put 2 teaspoons on them and expect me to leave. However, I now have to check my order at the counter and request more. Then they get an attitude like I'm the jerk?! I'm giving them one last chance before I void my rule of not upsetting people that prepare my food. Hopefully the owner is there so I can discuss it with him. The city needs my tax dollars instead of giving my business to another store.
