I would've asked for more but had no clue that I would only get 1 cup when I placed order. It took about 20-25 to get my order, which is not terrible and means they cook to order. Before accepting my payment, they should tell you this. If I don't have that time (which I really didn't), I'm now trapped because you have my money and I could've altered order or went somewhere else

As a first timer, I found their menu to be slightly confusing. I ended up with the rocket burger snack ( add bacon & tomato, no rocket sauce). It came with fries. My guest had the chicken finger basket. It came with fries and you could also pick baked beans, slaw or more fries. They opted for fries and slaw. Our food took a long time but like I stated , they were veryyyyyyy busy! We enjoyed our meal pretty well. The Rocket has been around since 1958, so it was pretty cool to have visited here while in town. Only knock , music too loud that it's hard to hear your number called. The staff were all really nice!

When my grandfather and I occasionally come here, it's almost always satisfactory, but for some…read morereason, this visit wasn't very pleasant. It was slightly laughable to me, to be honest... We walked in around 11:30 PM and it was at least 10-15 minutes before the waitress took our order or at least acknowledged us. There were only maybe three other people here (at the most) and the employees were having all kinds of chit-chat and didn't really welcome us either. When our waitress came to our table, she asked us what we wanted to eat, but didn't ask what we wanted to drink. I asked her if I could choose a side to go with my HuddleBurger with bacon, and she didn't know if sides even came with it, and I could tell she didn't know the available sides by heart either. I requested a peach flavoring-infused Mtn. Dew (they have flavoring for the milkshakes I assume, but I like having them mixed in my soda), and she said they didn't have any of that. I knew it (along with other flavored syrup bottles) was behind the counter and showed her they did have it, so she remade my soda. I just think that if you're an employee for a restaurant, you should at least know the menu and other options in the restaurant well enough to be able to tell a customer what they want to know right away. Soon after our order was taken, my grandfather quietly told me "we made a mistake tonight". The waiting time for our order was decent. When my HuddleBurger with bacon arrived, the majority of its condiments were put on the side even though I only asked her to go light on the tomatoes and lettuce. I also ordered a side salad and I never got it until I told her about it, and by that time we were almost finished with our food. The waitress was kind, but I think she must've been really new. I'm not saying this place is bad by any means, because the food has always been good, but I think it was just this employee in particular that made this visit interestingly different. I'm not mentioning names but you'll be able to tell who I'm talking about if you get her as your waitress. I should also mention that the inside of this Huddle House location was mostly clean, and the temperature was comfortable. Despite tonight's disappointing visit, I will continue to come here since the past 10 or so visits since early-2017 have been pleasant, but I hope my next visit will turn out better.

I am still waiting so I get out and go in. About 2 or 3 min of standing there a lady turns and says "Sorry, waiting on fries" and then turns back around. Fries? Why am I waiting on fries? She keeps her back to me for the next 5 min while I wait. After another 5 min I finally receive my food. No offer to comp it, no offer of a drink while I waited, not even an offer to throw in a pie!

No customer service skills, no polite behavior, very unprofessional, childish, and flat out rude.

My sister frequents this location. The server recognized her and already knew what she wanted. As for the rest of us we were able to get drinks and get our order in very quickly. The food didn't take long at all for us to receive. We had 9 of us so that alone was impressive. All of our meals came out together, correct, and hot. I got the machaca chimichanga. It was very good. I was hungry so i couldn't tell you what everyone else ate. I dug in so quickly I almost forgot to take a picture of my food. My husband got the steak ranchero. I didn't hear anyone complain except for my daughter that complained her quesadilla was stuffed too full of stuff. Not really a complaint if you ask me. Their salsa was also very good. It had good flavor but wasn't spicy. They do have a spicy version if you ask. Personally I like to mix the two together. I'm from AZ where I'm able to get amazing Mexican food. I've found I generally don't prefer Mexican food on this side of the United States so I was extremely happy to find a local location with great food. The staff was all very pleasant. A gentleman came over and gave all the kids candy from his candy basket he was carrying around. I believe he was the owner. When we were finished our bills arrived quickly and correct. On our way out as we were waiting for the remainder of our party the candy man came over dancing. He grabbed my daughter's hand and started dancing with her. Everyone was so nice.
