Now for the downside, I had ribs and smoked sausage with potato salad and coleslaw. The menu states they are both homemade. It's a mustard potato salad and I am pretty sure I have had both from Sam's wholesale. Both were plain and lacked seasoning. The ribs appeared to be a couple of weeks old and reheated in the microwave. The onion rings that my wife had were huge and crunchy but had no flavor in the batter or salt added after frying. The smoked sausage looked like what I cooked for the 4th. Not smoked just heated and sliced. If not for the cheese dip this would have been a one. Oh staff provided super service no issues there. They cannot control the quality of the food. The table we were sitting at looked homemade and there were some crevices around some knot holes that were full of crumbs! Pretty nasty. I will go back for some cheese dip......to go!!

Five stars to raise the rating!! They deserve more traffic…read more I almost didn't come because of the low rating. Had I listened to you guys that griped for no reason I would have never gotten to eat here! C has a new theory about AR reviews. The higher it is the least we will like it, and oppositely, if it's lower, we will like it. I may just have to agree. Makes no sense, but Sarah is the guvna, so well.... Nothing really makes sense in AR! Now, if it wasn't really good I would not just throw a fiver around just to raise the rating. I am not that guy that believes in socialism and all. You post up in line and order at the counter, grab your drink, and then they bring you the foods. Nice and easy! It was pretty busy on the day we came. It was Sunday after lunch in the South, so you know... The interior is full of funny little sayings and signs. Some areas seem to have themes to them, especially the bathroom hall. I think it's a bit kitschy, but it's cute nonetheless. Serves this place well. I would say this was one of the better burgers that I have ever had in my life. Top 10 for sure. The whole family agreed. It was seasoned well, cooked perfectly, and was crispy and juicy at the same time. DAMN GOOD BURGER!! WOW. C got the single, no cheese, with onion rings. I got the Patty Melt with fresh cut fries. Lil' A got the Junior Burger so she could handle the milkshake she wanted. Boyfriend had chicken strips w/fries. We ate it all! My Patty Melt was outstanding! Just perfect really. If they had rye bread it would have possibly been the best ever. I loved the crumble of the beef. Yum! Milkshakes are tasty too! I had a fried pie sample too. I'd weigh 400 pounds if I lived here for sure! Milkshakes, burgers, and fried pies!!! YUM Get your butt in here now! Write a good review and let's raise the rating!!! "26" - 87

Ordered ahead on the toast app and they had the fried pies ready when I got there at the exact time…read morethe order said it would be ready. However, the rest of the food (chicken strips and fries) was not ready. 10 minutes later, after sitting at the window with no update, I had to call the restaurant. Another employee picks up the food that had been sitting on the counter all along and hands it to me with no apology. By this time, the food is all cold and soggy. I think I will go somewhere else next time.

As a kid born in the '60s, I knew instantly that this was the kind of place you always stop at. We pulled a fast U-turn and headed in. We came for a milkshake, and the gal at the counter recommended her personal favorite, a peanut butter and chocolate combo (think Reese's). It wasn't even listed on the menu. Let me tell you, this thing was absolutely fantastic. Thick, creamy, rich, and nostalgic in all the best ways. It cost around five dollars and was worth every penny. Bonus points for clean bathrooms too. I am still thinking about that shake days later. If you're anywhere near this place, go get one. Seriously.

As a northerner stepping into a Southern-style spot, I have to agree with another Yelp reviewer…read moreabout the sweet tea. It's not that true Southern sweet tea you hear legends about -- the kind that practically hugs your soul and spikes your dentist's anxiety -- but honestly, it's not bad at all if you're trying to watch your sugar. Consider it "Midwest sweet." Polite. Respectable. Not trying to put you into a sugar coma. Now let's talk food. My kiddos ordered the popcorn chicken and mini dogs -- and as any parent knows, the highest culinary honor is the empty plate. They ate every last bite. From my 5-year-old, that's basically a Michelin star review. My husband had the BBQ burger. When asked for a detailed description, I received his usual top-tier food critique vocabulary: "It was good." I ordered the BBQ bacon chicken with tots. The tater tots deserve their own moment -- perfectly crisp, not oily, and seasoned just right. The chicken itself leaned a little on the dry side, but the BBQ sauce definitely stepped in and saved the day. Overall? I'd definitely stop here again -- especially over chain restaurant which seem to be the only other commonly options in the next town over. This place feels like the better pick when you want something satisfying without the big-chain blah.
