    Wallyburger
    Merry W.

    Wally's is always known for their burgers and for a good reason. They are always awesome! It's a small menu and they only take cash and checks. Don't worry... there's an atm across the street if you need it. We were a little disappointed with the small overcooked waffle fry order but always come back for the burgers!

    Simple cheeseburger and crinkles

    Basic burger and fires kind of place. Place the order at the window, then wait for a good while, then once your name is called, you pay for your order. Cash only. They have an outdoor seating area but no indoor seating if that's what you're looking for. We wanted a quick, no-frills, affordable burger and fries and that's what we got...minus the quick part. Solid burger, just wish it had more than cheese and pickles on it. Crinkle cut fries.

    Definitely worth the 50 min drive also great lil road-trip. First time having it I was surprised because it looks like a typical burger you grill but it tasted even better cooked perfectly and all the ingredients were fresh! Was disappointed they didn't have their curly fries they were completely out but there will definitely be a next time! The waffle fries were so good and crispy and had just the right flavor. The prices were fair nothing expensive. Also my cousin put me on the ski soda that every one should try!

    Onion rings fries burgers nuggets

    The best burger ever it's so cheap and quick, we got 4 burgers, chicken nuggets, 2 things of onion rings, and some fries for ONLY $40! It's so worth it. We drove all the way from O'fallon and it's so worth the drive!

    Just go and see for yourself. Perfect burger, cooked to perfection and made fresh every single time. I enjoy doing the 50min drive from St Louis! It's a mini road trip for the family and there's a cute park literally a block over where the kids can play and you can sit and eat if you don't there. Couldn't recommend this place enough and the price is more than fair! Cash only - don't forget. An awesome time and excuse me in the last photo that's the face you make when the ski is just so dang bussin you don't know how to contain your self!!!

    The food is always good along with their services. It is a small place but the food is exceptional. They are a diamond in the rough.

    Yesterday was in breese il for work, Went to use the bathroom after hitting up the drive through…read morehad a buddy order my food while I went number 2. The restroom was out of TP.. no big deal so I call the restaurant..nobody answers so I call my coworker who went there with me and asked him to go tell the front desk they were out of TP and I was stuck in there. Cool I'm thinking I can finally leave.. nope 17 minutes goes by between when he called me back and said he told them and when I get toilet paper. 1237-1250pm obviously I'm pi*sed when I finally get my TP so when walking out I glance over and just shake my head I get to the second door about to walk out without saying anything when the bigger elderly woman who apparently is the manager stops me and says sir so I turn around. She said I'm sorry Its not my fault I didn't work yesterday I said ok that's fine but my coworker had been up to the counter about 15-20 minutes ago she says I was only told 2 minutes ago I said well maam I have been stuck in that bathroom for 30 minutes 10 of which I was trying to figure out what I was going to do and the other 20 waiting since my co worker walked in and said something she started getting defensive so I got even more upset and irritated as she raised her voice and said there's no way you were in there that long (at this point I lost it) and said loud enough for the few people eating and the workers to hear me say woman I was in the bathroom so long the Sh*t on my a**crack got cold to which she said your full of sh*t to which i said not anymore and ended the conversation by saying corperate will hear about this to which she said go ahead and tell corporate I don't give a F*ck. And threw one arm up and turned her back on me. This was my first time in breese il and my first experience in any restaurant there and I'll say this, if your workers are this rude then not only am I not coming back here I will never eat at any Hardee's restaurant ever again. Not to mention my coworker sat in his f350 work truck in the drive thru for 13 minutes waiting on a cheese burger fries and a drink and was literally the only one in the drive thru the entire 13 minutes after that they got maybe 5 cars in the drivethru the 30 minutes I was outside before I got stuck in their nasty bathroom(I'm only mentioning this because her other excuse was sorry we've had a rush to which I told her exactly what I said here) very unprofessional very unpleasant woman and honest to God the absolute WORST EXPERIENCE IVE EVER HAD from ANY restaurant or fast food place or even store in my entire 28 years of life. (Also went to call corporate to which Hardee's does not have a number for anymore just a QR code that leads you to the website

Without Yelp, there's zero chance I…read morewould have eaten here, and yet it turned out to be a fantastic option as we were driving down I-70 towards St. Louis. We were headed to the airport and I searched for a 'diner like' place just off the interstate around an hour away. I came across Powhatan, and while the outside didn't look like much in the photos, the food looked great and the reviews were excellent. I bookmarked it, and sure enough it didn't disappoint. The outside is a basic restaurant attached to a hotel/motel. Think side of the road bare bones motel. Honestly, if I hadn't read the reviews I would have just kept on driving. Inside was very nice - not fancy but very bright, clean and welcoming. There was also a small slot machine area off to the side if that's your thing. I ordered the Pocahontas Pride, which was chicken friend steak, two eggs, hash brown casserole (I opted for plain hash browns) buttermilk biscuits and sausage gravy. I think it was $15. And it was enough food for two people easily. Very good, and very filling. My daughter ordered boneless wings (I tried a couple since there was too much food for her) and she and I both loved them. I'm normally hesitant to order wings outside of my normal places, but she will order them anywhere and she gave them great praise. She also added 1/2 order of onion rings which were both great and ample - I thought they actually got the order wrong there were so many. Wife wasn't feeling well, so she ordered a simple order of hash browns and liked them. All in all, a great experience for a quick stop during a long drive. Again, without reading the reviews in advance, I doubt I would have ended up at Powhatan. But I'm glad I did!

    We make this drive from St Louis every couple of months. Their breakfasts are huge!…read more They have quite a large selection of breakfast meals, as well as lunch and dinner. Their service is always perfect! Servers are attentive, and the food comes out quickly. It's an older restaurant, and the interior is rustic charm! It's probably better for our waistlines that they aren't closer! Check them out! You can play slots after your meal! Look for the photo of Pocahontas local Gretchen Wilson on the wall!
