    Large burger all the way with bacon and cheese

    Fast service. Amazing burgers! They also have several different style home fries to choose from.

    Wellllllllll, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I would skip this place if I were you. To start, Yousef's is located in a very small town. There are no major restaurants nearby, or really any other restaurant option. So after reading all the positive reviews on Yelp I decided to give it a try. Yousef's does offer a nice sized menu with a variety of options. They also have a hot bar where you can pay for each item individually. I had the fried chicken with the David fries and a house salad. My daughter ordered the fried chicken sandwich with Greek fries (seasoned) and onion rings. The fried chicken was ok, but was not very hot and was on the dry side. The house salad was sad... a bit of shredded lettuce and a few scattered diced tomatoes. The ranch dressing was watery. The David fries were ok, but very greasy and slightly undercooked. My daughters sandwich was pretty good, though. Service was a disaster, to be honest. While the woman was sweet, the food took foreverrrrrr to come. Once it finally did arrive my salad was forgotten, as well as my daughter's onion rings. They also gave my daughter crinkle fries instead of the seasoned fries she wanted. We started eating and 15 minutes later (when we were just about done) the waitress came to us with a plate of fried okra instead of the onion rings. She looked at our check and realized that my daughter had received the wrong fries and that okra was not onion rings. At that point I requested a piece of pound cake instead of the onion rings, and the waitress obliged. The cake tasted stale and dry.... To top it all off, the food upset my stomach something terrible later on! Just a terrible experience all around. I am giving two stars because the food tasted ok enough and the waitress was sweet, poor thing. But I would not come back here.

    Service is slow unless you call in. Don't expect anyone to follow Covid-19 regulations here. They have 1 sign hardly visible to public. Been waiting almost an hour for our food. Watching call in orders fly out of the kitchen. Nobody's wearing masks, gloves, not social distancing. Waitresses are hugging patrons. Nobody is washing their hands or sanitizing.

    They are closed permanently. Prior to closing, the cleanliness web downhill with Yousef's passing.

    I like the chef salad that they make here. It has everything you need in a good salad. The small is almost too much for me.

    Always happy with my meal. Corn fritters are great and the fried chicken livers are done well.

    The food here was very bland. It seemed like the regulars got great service. Ours was just ok. Would not return here again.

    Arnolds of Seneca - Bacon cheeseburger with chili ketchup and mustard with fries

    I ordered th double cheeseburger w fries and coleslaw and it was great…read more Good prices and great service. Will definitely go back.

    Stopped by Arnold's of Seneca for the first time last night and used the drive-through. The…read moreservice was the highlight of the visit. The employee at the window couldn't have been nicer, very friendly, helpful, and even offered me a menu to keep for future visits. Truly excellent customer service. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich (lettuce and tomato only (no premium topping options available), along with onion rings and coleslaw. The total came to $13.08 before tip, which is a great price and initially set expectations fairly high. The wait time was reasonable, but when I received the bag it felt surprisingly light. Once home, the portion sizes were underwhelming. The onion rings were moderate, the coleslaw was about an ice-cream-scoop portion, and the grilled chicken sandwich consisted of a very small piece of chicken with one slice of lettuce and a thin slice of tomato on a plain white bun. For context, I weighed the chicken portion and it came in at 2.68 ounces, which is noticeably smaller than expected for a sandwich. Food quality was basic. The coleslaw appeared pre-packaged and was quite watery, and the onion rings seemed mass-produced rather than freshly battered. The chicken itself could have used more seasoning and a more substantial portion. Even a slightly upgraded bun would have helped. I'm giving this two stars instead of three because while the service was outstanding and the pricing is attractive, this is a restaurant first and foremost, and the food quality and portions didn't meet expectations. I'm not trying to bash ownership; a small increase in price to allow for better ingredients and slightly larger portions could make a big difference.
