Vicky Lou’s Burgers

In my younger years, I worked some in the restaurant business waiting tables. As a result, I have…read morehigh expectations when I go out to eat. My first impression left me a little skeptical when I entered the restaurant. Being on a Thursday night, the clientele were rather quiet and the atmosphere just seemed dull. Once we were seated, my skeptical first impression began to disappear. Our waitress was top notch. She asked all the right questions, perfectly attentive, noticed what we needed ahead of time, and did not make a single mistake. On top of that, the manager was being just as attentive to customers needs as he oversaw the restaurant. Concerning the food, as I perused the menu I was also skeptical as the prices were a little higher than I expected. Once the smoke cleared as the saying goes, I felt it was the best priced food I have eaten in months! I settled on a grilled chicken sandwich with pimento cheese and a side of chili as a safe bet. My son ordered the burger and my wife the Reuben. As food was being dropped off at nearby tables I was looking on in surprise. Everything looked great. In no time at all, our food was delivered and once I took the first bite I knew I would be back again soon. I looked at my son as he took his first bite of the burger and we were thinking the same thing. The food quality was exceptional. Even the chili was way above average and I'm not even a chili fan because most of the time people put way too much seasoning and not enough substance. Most places nowadays seem to focus on cheap quality with tons of sodium to maximize profit so it very refreshing to find a place providing quality good. All I can say is great job. If I could give this place 6 stars I would and keep up the great work! See you guys again soon.

Don't serve rice if you can't cook it faster and don't even have yum yum. I'm convinced the only ppl who eat here have to be first timers cause there's cheaper places to get wings guys come on. There was 6 cooks in the kitchen and 2 ppl taking orders. Overstaffed for a Sunday evening so that may be part of the high prices here. Who knows but I won't be back.

We noticed this at the end of the strip mall and decided to walk in and try out an appetizer to share while passing the time. We ordered the small boneless wings with medium sauce and two unsweet teas. The plate came with fries and our choice of blue cheese or ranch dressing, we chose the blue cheese. It was 12:10 PM on a busy Wednesday lunch rush but our server was super attentive and took our order within a few minutes of us being seated. Our food order was on our table, fresh and piping hot before we had time to start on our drinks. The boneless wings were tender and juicy, and covered in sauce. The fries were hot and fresh and tasted excellent. The blue cheese dressing had large chunks of blue cheese and was spot on. It is a clean and comfortable dining room with a wood interior and is warm and inviting. While we normally order bone-in wings, they can be messy, so we opted for the boneless on this trip, and they were amazing. Best wings we have had in Georgia. While this is a trip from home, I would definitely make the trip when we are in Gainesville for the service and food we had today. Definitely a five-star experience in all categories. Staff continued to check on us during our meal and we had our check paid and were out the door at 12:45. Our entire meal and drinks came up to $10.69, which was plenty for us to share. It does not get any better than this.

WNB was doing a BOGO on their "Not Closed on Sunday" spicy chicken sandwich, which is priced at $6.89. We figured even if it was small, it'd be worth it. So we chose that, as well as a large fry, $5+change. Because the bill was going to be cheap we ordered a few of their house ranch sauces as well as two of their Nashville Hot sauce. Total bill came to $32 and some change but that was with us giving the max tip because, why not when the food was that affordable? Honestly, we were not expecting much and were so pleasantly surprised when the order came and it was way more food than anticipated for the low price. The large fries were enough for three people easily. The chicken sandwiches were larger than most of the popular fast food places and visually looked appealing. It tasted as good as it looked with a perfect pickle to chicken to sauce ratio. The chicken was juicy and had great texture and was perfectly cooked. We opted for the pretzel bun rather than the standard brioche, and that was a .50 cent up charge but totally worth it. The bun was fresh and actually tasted like a pretzel bun instead of dry, overdone, hard bread. The fries were well cooked and were also great. House ranch did not disappoint either. If there was one low point it was the Nashville hot sauce. It had no flavor aside from raw cumin. But look... I can live with an .89 cent sauce being the only negative out of everything we ordered. Gonna give this one a 10/10 and we will do it again. You absolutely cannot beat the value of this deal.

They were a bit loud and when we asked for sponge bob to be turned down a little bit they were fine with it and it wasn't an issue. We ended up getting burgers and fries and they were very good. It was obviously made to order since it was served hot. They fries were super hot and came without salt which I appreciate. They do have a seasoning salt and salt you can add to your fries if you decide to. The portions were great for the price and honestly neither of us could even finish the fries. It is a casual quick rest is t meaning you order at a counter and they will call you when your order is ready but you can sit and eat it. We saw about 5-6 delivery drivers come in for pick ups so they do have delivery and it seems to be popular. I will go back to try boneless wings and maybe fried rice.

I also ordered a kids cheeseburger for my great nephew and a cheeseburger (all the way) for my sister. I spent less than $18.00. Great price. You get your money worth and quality.

If you know and like Black Diamond Grill, this is similar but just on a much smaller scale. Same kind of vibe and atmosphere, and seems like a lot of locals like to just come and hang at the bar for a drink. All indoor seating, but offers a good amount of high tops and even a few booths. I'm not sure if their A/C is broken or just not powerful enough, but the two times my husband and I have gone, they had a big industrial-sized fan going near the entrance to help with the indoor temp. It didn't bother me one bit and certainly didn't feel too warm, I just wondered if this was normal for them in the summer or a temporary thing. The food menu offers everything you'd expect from an Ale House and of course, they've got an extensive beer and cocktail menu as well. The Buffalo Chicken Queso Dip was a delicious starter, just maybe a little heavy on the blue cheese crumbles for me. However, the flavor of the buffalo dip was fantastic and I couldn't get enough! I also enjoyed a cup of their French Onion Soup cause if you know me, you know that's my absolute favorite soup of all time (yes, even in the peak of summer). It was very well done and I basically licked the bowl clean. I got the soup and salad combo which is offered at a very reasonable price and I chose to just go with their House Salad which also hit just right and was the perfect portion. Service was fantastic both visits! Excited to make this a staple local spot for my husband and I!
