Shout out to reviewer Ken M. for influencing me to try Chuck's Place ......you were right!…read more I had the large cheeseburger with everything and onion rings. My partner went with the wimpy burger ( not a wimpy burger.. 1.2 lbs) and cajun fries. From the moment you walk in, you know you've found a true local spot. It's small, cozy and decorated with fun signs and memorabilia. The staff are amazing, friendly, welcoming, and just the kind of people you want to see when you're about to dive into comfort food. Even at 1:30 pm, that in between lunch/dinner time, the place was steadily busy. And now I know why. The onion rings? Fantastic. I'm an onion ring snob and these were fresh, crispy, and legit. no frozen batter here, and none of that "pull the whole onion out in one bite" nonsense ( I hate that). The fries were hot, crisp and perfectly seasoned. And the burger is 100% beef, juicy, and packed with flavor. This is a local gem and I'm so glad we went. We'll definitely be back.

The name of the restaurant is wrong here on Yelp! The correct name is Shelly's Smash Burger…read more Staff were very friendly. Ingredients were all fresh. Prices very reasonable. It's not really a truck stop, but it is part of a convenience store at a Phillips 66 gas station. The only options for burgers in Waterloo near where we are, are either fast food or Denny's, Applebees, etc. It's a bit of a drive down Rte 3 to Red Bud, but if you want a very good burger at a reasonable price it's worth making the trip.

I went out on a limb trusting some other Yelp reviews of this place and decided to stop on our way…read moreback from the wine trails in Southern Illinois. We had a hard time ordering. It was a little bit confusing on if we went to the main checkout or the one in the corner, which is kind of like a weird restaurant/ gambling area. Anyway, after we figure out what we wanted we waited for the order and ate it on the drive home. It did not package well, even from the store to the car which was like a 10-second walk. The fries were mushy and gross, and I feel like the burger was completely underwhelming. I think steak 'n shake has some of the best burgers. If we were going to stop somewhere local we probably should have done that. That. There's nothing to write home about and they offer a discount on some ice cream that's hand scooped, my partner got some of that and tried it and it was completely freezer burnt. So needless to say we won't be back, but it was I guess. Guess interesting to check out a local spot that I've been curious about. 3/10 won't try again and wouldn't recommend.

It's a McDonald's- I'm not going to tell you about their food. You know what you'll get there…read more Located right off 13 near the Holiday Inn - this location opened in late 2023. Very small dining area - appears that the main focus of their business is the drive through and pick up orders. For us - as walk in customers who used the kiosk - that process resulted in a delay in service. (measuring that delay by McDonald's standards). One employee was working the counter - assisting guests with drink refills and taking orders. We watched as she filled an order for people who came to the counter after our kiosk order had been in the queue. She then filled our order. In the meantime - the other employees were busy filling drive through and curbside orders. We were staying nearby - on two other visits we were: 1 - unable to get an ice cream cone because the machine needed to be cleaned. 2 - unable to get a sugar free French vanilla coffee at 9:30 am because they were out of the syrup. But - the drive through lanes are very busy each time we went by. Good location - need to work out some kinks with service.

Their drinks were good but if you are a beer drinker you are mostly looking at the normal, run of the mill lagers. They did have a couple of IPAs but nothing special craft brewery-ish. My daughter ordered a mule and said it was very good. We both ordered burgers and fries. The burgers were very good and sized well so we walked away satisfied. The service was really very good. The young lady provided just the right amount of attention and was super friendly. This place would be an excellent place to frequent if you were a local. They have a gaming room with electronic gambling machines but there is tournament sized shuffleboard along the back wall and it looked like it was free to play. Also soft tip dart boards if you enjoy that.
