Tried the Monte Cristo and it was not heavy with frying oil which is a great! The jam it came with matched the savory of the meat inside perfectly. A very solid sandwich, wish it came with a side of fries or chips though but that was extra it looks like. After wards I saw they had homemade hand dipped ice cream bars and thought I would try one. It was AMAZING and so good. The table next to me as asking about it and hopefully they got one as well later. The ice cream was really smooth and not over sweet, the nuts on the bar that I got were the perfect texture. The size of the bar was pretty hefty as well, almost good for sharing after a meal there. Staff was friendly and attentive so bonus points there. Favorite dish: Chocolate hand-dipped vanilla ice cream bar with peanuts and almonds. Go out and EAT!

Several places were closed for the day already and I saw this little corner place that still had the Open sign on. Burgers? Sure, why not, that should fill me up and it sure did!

The burger was perfectly cooked at medium and very juicy and delicious! Fried were good, not great but the burger was the star of the meal anyway. But I will say the fries were good once I dipped them in the dripping juices and sauce from the burger. But it was a very hearty burger and after a long drive, really hit the spot! If I'm ever in this area again or see another Sylvester's I will definitely make it a point to visit and try a different burger. Favorite dish: Old Fashioned with no cheese. Go out and EAT!

Everything is freshly prepared and made-to-order according to the customer's needs and wants. No salt/seasoning? No problem. Add mustard? No problem. Grilled onions? Sure! The burgers are made of 100% fresh ground beef that are chargrilled over an open flame - and one can taste the difference! Many possibilities abound of their char beef patties offerings, as well as sandwiches of tri-tip steak, Ahi tuna filet, and chicken. They offer a plant-based alternative patty (Impossible™) for those who prefer a plant-based diet. This location has front counter service with inside and patio dining, as well as a drive-thru for those on-the-go. The employees we encountered were cordial and helpful.

I ordered the Classic Chicken Sandwich, French Fries, Sour Cream & Chives Baked Potato with Cheese, Lg Coke, Lg Frosty and Cinnabon pull aparts. The chicken sandwich was better than McD's, Burger Kings or Carls Jr. Still old school processed chicken patty, like a large chicken nugget. The bun was typical brioche. The veggies were fresh and the Asiago cheese, I added, delivered nice bite and aged funk. The fries were well seasoned and didn't taste bad, but needed to be a little crispier. The baked potato seemed a little under cooked, but was good, as well. The Frosty was BOMB, as always! I found that I needed to add a little milk and reheat the Cinnabon Bites. They were good! Overall, would rather go here than Burger King, McDonalds, or Carls Jr.

I really try to support local business, but this is by far the WORST chipotle I've ever been too. The food is always at bare minimum in the containers, the employees do the bare minimum when it comes to service, and the price has shot up. Ownership really needs to get a clue and do something about this place. read more

Food and Service ++…read more I'm a fan of a good beans, rice, and cheese burrito. Oh & with sour cream of course. Sounds easy enough right? Not even close. I'm very particular about my beans and rice. I believe if you can make the staple foods taste so good with just the right flavoring then you probably make good food all the way around. Well I've been here a few times over the span of many years and they have consistently been good. I love the softness of a tortilla too, not firm or with any crunch to it. These are just what I like. I recently tried the Chile Relleno burrito because it's an alternative favorite and it was delicious. Some places have too much batter or they add a sauce with it. In a burrito, not a fan of the sauce. Taco de Mexico did not and I loved that. The cook who I'm pretty sure is the owner is always nice and gets things done quickly. He doesn't engage too much but is always very courteous. Another plus for me is that they open early. Upon moving up here I always found it interesting that the Mexican food restaurants don't open til 9 and later. I was used to the restaurants being open before sunrise. I know people can be fooled by appearance but story goes you will find some of the best food at the places you'd least expect it. While it's small there are at least 3 tables that can fit a party of 4 easily so you can sit down inside and enjoy. The parking lot though small, very small, is never packed. There is an empty lot next to it so I believe it houses some eye sores but they have nothing to do with the quality of the food or the experience. Don't let that deter you. I also like to add updates photos of the menu because that's one of the first pictures I look for. Things can change week to week. In my opinion and experience I recommend this place.
