Pretty damned good breakfast. Though I cannot say it's the "best" breakfast, as it claims... it certainly wasn't bad. The portions were quite generous, the coffee was hot, the service was lovely. Would go again. read more

French dip was really good. Cod fish and chips was ok but greasy. Deli turkey sandwich is good with chips. French fries are limp but tater tots were crisp. Complimentary soft serve ice cream small but bonus! Tiger shakes like the DQ yummy. Super nice people and service read more

The service was good when we first got there. The Denver omelet was good. The biscuits and "MEATY" Gravy had three small chunks of "meat" and absolutely no flavor! When I mentioned the lack of meat in my gravy, the waitress nodded and said okay. No apologies or discount. Won't be going back. read more

I used to go there quit a bit. The last time I was there was the first Saturday in June 2025, I was going to have about 12 of my family in town and thought I would let the staff know my intentions of the large group for the next weekend. I went in and sat down and waited a bit. Three or four other people came in after 10 minutes. The waitress bypassed me and waited on each of them and walked right passed again with NO acknowledgement. I figured they were doing well enough that they didn't need my business, so I got up and left NEVER to return or recommend them! read more

I used to love this place, it was quick and affordable. Now it's the complete opposite. At the drive through you are given a "receipt folder" leather, like they do in nice restaurants with room for your added tip of course. I'm not tipping for a turkey sandwich and an ice tea in a drive through! Worst of all, tonight I noticed a 60 cent tariff fee added to my order. So instead of reviewing and revising their product purchasing they are taxing every order 60 cents. It's wrong and they should be embarrassed. I'm embarrassed for them. read more

Stopped here with my sons and a friend as we were driving across the state. Onion rings were the highlight, with a light but crisp breading. We all had burgers as well - the consensus was that they were good, but not outstanding. Service was friendly and pretty fast, but a new sales system was giving the staff a hard time. The Styrofoam burger packaging popped open a bit more easily than I'd like, but did prevent sauce from leaking out the bottom. We got our food to go, but the dining room was clean. read more

Delicious burgers, good fries and the onions rings are to die for! Very clean interior and friendly service. To top off a good meal, we were served a little bowl of free soft serve. Yum! Looking forward to a return visit. read more

Decided to try this place out on my way home. I walked inside and sat myself as the sign stated, there were menus waiting on the table. Within a couple minutes, a server came and took my order 10 minutes or so later the food came out nice and hot. The place was clean and seats were comfortable. I recommend this place. The burger was juicy and the onion rings were delicious. read more

We had Prime rib about 8 months ago was told it would be 10 ounces and when it came to our table it may have been 4 to 5 ounces with 3 skinny asparagus spears and a small piece of bread. We both ordered that and I had a Coke it came to $80. We almost fainted. Don't me wrong what little food we had was good but we haven't been back. We should have just canceled our order but didn't realize we would be getting a sliver of meat. The owners are great people but we were in a little bit of shock. And I just now decided to leave a review. read more

Parked several blocks away and followed the smell of fresh fry oil and homemade fries. I had a standard cheeseburger with their yummy fries. Honestly one of the best hamburgers I've had in a long time cooked to perfection with just the right amount of salt. excellent customer service and food. I couldn't have asked for more and couldn't be more satisfied. Should've taken a picture, but I was too hungry. read more

Sad to say, but we will not be back. They left the breakfast prices the same and cut the portions in half. A piece of ham was about 6 bites. They are going to lose their customers doing that. read more

First time in for me, third for my husband. He's had great food every time, and tonights was no exception. Smoked gyro was best gyro I've ever had. Staff was friendly and prompt. read more

Their fish is very good and tasty. Their fries are awful. I know lots of people like them, but soggy limp fries aren't fries.

just had their chicken fried steak!!! it is the best the best the best!!!!! this is the best chicken fried steak i have ever had!!!!!!!! highly highly highly recommend!!!! read more

Great hamburgers can't wait to go back. I started going here during COVID because of the drive through.

Service is slow, food was super greasy and the fish and chips are so soggy it's like a sponge. I was so disappointed. Will definitely not be here again nor recommend my friends or family to come here. They need to keep this place much cleaner an environment needs an uplift. Cooks are horrible. read more

Best food, BBQ, and ice cream around. As locals this is our new favorite place and we always look forward to seeing the specials! Worth every Penny minute waited!

Headed to camp at Steamboat Rock State Park and came here for lunch based on friend's recommendation. Doesn't look like much from the outside, in fact I thought they may be closed! But once you enter it's a very friendly and clean place... and our burgers and onions rings were so good!! Can't wait to come back. read more

Fantastic ice cream cones Never have had anything but ice cream there however it smells really good like it would be good food

First and last visit to Barb &. ED's. Didn't have enough meatloaf for 2 sandwiches so the offers to make them by dividing what they had to make two sandwiches. Ordered the onion rings and got 4 small ones. Meatloaf was old and stale. Never again! read more

Everything I have had there is good. I crave the fries they are so fresh and delicious. And the Ruben is amazing!

I've eaten their Basin burger and fries. They are both good. They are a bit $$ but the service is good.

Most friendly place in town and extremely clean inside. Great American "Drive-in" type food and great service.

Delicious, had burgers here and great service. Would definitely recommend & come back.

This is not a rating of the food. We chose not to try it because at least one of the kitchen staff had mid-back long hair that wasn't put up in any way. While checking out the menu she was obviously not going to put it up as she continued about her cooking duties. We've learned from experience that places that don't require their staff to keep their hair up, ponied, hatted or netted are one serving away from a gross hair in our food or who knows what else behind the scenes that goes unseen. Our party of four would love to try the food if this policy ever changes. read more

The food is delicious. The service is fast and friendly. I come here weekly for a bacon cheeseburger and their hand cut fries. It's not the normal burger and fries, it's better, high quality products. They're made to order instead of left under heat lamps. You can taste the love in each bite. Barb and Ed would be proud they keep the family tradition going. It's a warm and cozy place don't miss out it's worth the wait. read more

SO delicious, loved every bite. You can tell all the food is fresh and homemade, cooked with love. Best breakfast around, huge portions, great staff. Definitely coming back! read more
