Dottie’s Smash Burger - Double Smash Burger

The name of the restaurant is wrong here on Yelp! The correct name is Shelly's Smash Burger…read more Staff were very friendly. Ingredients were all fresh. Prices very reasonable. It's not really a truck stop, but it is part of a convenience store at a Phillips 66 gas station. The only options for burgers in Waterloo near where we are, are either fast food or Denny's, Applebees, etc. It's a bit of a drive down Rte 3 to Red Bud, but if you want a very good burger at a reasonable price it's worth making the trip.

I went out on a limb trusting some other Yelp reviews of this place and decided to stop on our way…read moreback from the wine trails in Southern Illinois. We had a hard time ordering. It was a little bit confusing on if we went to the main checkout or the one in the corner, which is kind of like a weird restaurant/ gambling area. Anyway, after we figure out what we wanted we waited for the order and ate it on the drive home. It did not package well, even from the store to the car which was like a 10-second walk. The fries were mushy and gross, and I feel like the burger was completely underwhelming. I think steak 'n shake has some of the best burgers. If we were going to stop somewhere local we probably should have done that. That. There's nothing to write home about and they offer a discount on some ice cream that's hand scooped, my partner got some of that and tried it and it was completely freezer burnt. So needless to say we won't be back, but it was I guess. Guess interesting to check out a local spot that I've been curious about. 3/10 won't try again and wouldn't recommend.

man this place has really gone downhill last time we were here. i had the classic burger and fries…read morethis time the burger was mediocre and the fries were so goddamn oily i couldnt even eat it all. everything else was fine but they also used ai which bumps it down another star for me... do better scruff's

Gluten free Gold mine…read more I can't say enough good things about Scruff Grill. As someone who has struggled to find safe, delicious, actually enjoyable gluten-free meals, this place absolutely blew me away. Their gluten-free options are incredible--thoughtfully crafted, full of flavor, and far beyond the usual "substitute and hope for the best" approach most restaurants take. The gluten-free buns are a standout: soft, sturdy, and honestly the best I've ever had. They don't fall apart! That alone would earn them five stars, but it gets even better. They use dedicated fryers, something that's nearly impossible to find, and their staff is impressively knowledgeable about cross-contamination, ingredients, and allergen safety. I felt understood, respected, and genuinely cared for. Every bite was packed with bold, unmatched flavor. It's clear the team here takes pride in what they create, and it shows in the entire dining experience. Scruff Grill has earned my gratitude and my repeat business. If you're gluten-free--or even if you aren't--you have to try this place. It's a gem.

My buddy and I were looking for a lunch spot in Jefferson City. We came across what looked like a…read morehole in the wall that was a food truck and they are now a brick and mortar place. We looked over the menu and saw they had sweet tea. More on that in a moment. That's important for Bama Boys. The menu is pretty simple with pulled pork, wings, and burgers. I went with a full order of wings. 10 wings were $20. I thought that was pretty high though they were terrific! I chose them to be naked and had DAT Honey, Spicy BBQ, and Sweet and Spicy on the side. DAT Honey was a superb sauce especially mixed with the homemade ranch. The other 2 sauces were good too. Now back to the sweet tea. As I came in thinking I was going to get a fresh-brewed homemade sweet tea turned out to be purchasing a bottle of that abomination of sweet tea known as Gold Peak. It was comical how fast I told the guy at the register I would rather take a water. Then I receive a bottled water from Sam's. The owner did throw in a cookie for me to offset the price. But I wasn't impressed with the drink options. The service was good though! I really debated between a 3 and a 4 rating but the most important thing to me about a restaurant is making sure my food tastes amazing. JQ's delivered on that and plus the service was friendly and fantastic. I didn't like the price of 10 wings or the drink options but if you don't mind that, JQ's is a solid lunch spot.

Everyone says I should try this place for the wings. So I did. As much I love wings I wasn't…read moreimpressed how the wings was presented, taste like. The wings was little over cooked, tasted like a smoky flavor I couldn't even taste the hot sauce. The stuff was rude when I couldn't understand what order taker was saying I'm Hard of hearing and having a mask on behind a glass window doesn't make it easier for people who can't hear. There no reason for wearing a mask if they are at lest get a clear mask so I can read lips. Also don't be rude to people who are deaf super unprofessional and make people uncomfortable. Employees need take a training test how handle these type situations. Your your going fall into a lawsuit for discrimination

Good sized bar with lots of additional seating! Quite a few round tables that would hold 8 - 10…read morepeople (that is not something you see a lot, but I know our group would appreciate a place like this in KC). No smoking which was a huge plus considering that our search for dinner (while driving), came up with a lot of places that still allowed smoking inside. I have to compliment them on their brewed tea. So many times, a restaurant will say fresh brewed and they just serve freshly made instant. That is not the same! This was authentic and freshly made. Hubby ordered the Fireman's Fish and I had the cheesy chicken sandwich. We also tried the spiral chips based on the server's recommendation. Everything was great and that basket of chips was pretty addicting and definitely worth ordering. Definitely worth a stop!

Went to Uncle Ernies yesterday afternoon to celebrate a birthday. It was shrimp night so we ordered…read morea dozen of the grilled shrimp half a dozen of the fried shrimp plus a large basket of the spiral cut fries. My wife also ordered a cheeseburger. The food was a little slow in coming out, but when it showed up, it was great. The waitress was very pleasant and very attentive. The owner even came by our table and chatted with us for a while. Overall, it was a good dinner and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to go to a relaxed atmosphere kind of place.
