Review Visit: September 14th, 2014…read more Where diabetic dreams come true. Every town has a few things: A Casey's gas station. A Subway Restaurant. A Dollar General store. Lastly, a locally-owned ice cream shack. Any small town will have a combination of these things, if not all. Bartonville is a smaller town that happens to have their own ice cream shack. I am not sure about the others but that isn't why we are here today. Today, we are here to talk about a place where diabetics dream about. A place that causes diabetes. A place that your sweet tooth (or teeth) dream of. The Dream Hut is like many ice cream shacks. It is nestled in a smaller standalone building that has a store front where you can walk up and place your order and then awkwardly mingle with everyone else that is standing around. The store front is wide enough to accommodate a place to order and a place to pick your food up. Their menu is plastered on the glass where you order and you can stand off to the side and gawk over it without standing entirely in the way of people who have dreamt here before. On a cold day, a few of us decided to take a trip to this hut to see if we could order something dreams are made of. Around this time in my life, I was hopelessly dreaming about Peanut Butter Malts or anything similar. In a confession, I have a terrible peanut butter addiction that continues to this day and for the rest of my life. Upon arriving, I knew I needed something peanut butter-y. Glancing over the menu, I was drawn to the Peanut Butter Cup Blitz and I knew that was the thing my dreams were made of. One sip... well, what can be had for a sip as slurping a thick Blitz through a straw is entirely nightmarish... I knew I hit something good. The Blitz had a nice chocolate/peanut butter blend that can only be described properly by scientists and clairvoyants. Absolutely delectable. My friend Matt ordered the same thing and he rather enjoyed his drink/meal, but not nearly on the level of mine. Devin ordered a simple ice cream cone but even that put a huge smile on her face. Despite the change of the season and that nightfall was quickly approaching, the Dream Hut was everything I could dream in a ice cream place and more. While I only had the one item from their menu on this one and only visit, I would assume the rest of their offerings are just as good. I would like to revisit and try other menu items in the future. Still to this day, I dream of that Peanut Butter Cup Blitz...

First time trying Hardees since there were minimal 'fast' options in the area and I was both…read morestarving and impressed! For a fast food burger, it was pretty damn good. 1/3 lb was thick and fresh. Chicken tenders were meaty & tasty. Took some time to get order, but everything was served fresh and hot and guy who took our order was super nice too! You won't pay BK or McD prices, but your also getting better quality & 'bigger' (for fast food) and it will fill you up! Can't say I've had anything that tastes like a Hardee burger, but my guy found it to be similar to In-N-Out....my lips are sealed as sadly, I've never tried them. Why aren't there more Hardees in the burbs?? I'd check 'em out..

Went there tonight and the food was pretty much the same not bad, but it's still fast food so you…read moredon't expect much you know? I waited at the front counter for some sauce that they ALWAYS seem to forget. I waited at that damn counter for over 7 minutes while making eye contact with employees just standing around doing nothing. When I also walked in I got a glimpse on how this place was not cleaned up nor tidy. There was lettuce and chicken nugget boxes on the floor and table. I also witnessed an employee just laying down on the booths which is okay if they were on break but still made me displeased. Overall I would go again but it's not my ideal McDonald's place to eat at.

My McDoubles with no pickles somehow turned into bacon McDoubles with pickles, also, all 4 burgers were made with old tasting bread. Would love if their employees could actually read the order next time. Too much of a disappointment, we won't be going to back to this locations for quite a while.

Review Visit: September 5th, 2013…read more Potbelly leads to a full belly. Matt, Laura, Tim and I needed a place to go for dinner. I left it to the group to pick the place as I like to take a backseat to having to be the one who always picks. The group ended up picking Potbelly Sandwich Shop as we all hadn't been there before. This was perfect as it was also on my list of places to try out. I don't remember much from this visit but I will try and piece together what I do remember. There was something in the air as I was hungry but nothing at Potbelly ended up sounding like something I was craving. With that in mind, I did end up getting some chili, a bag of chips, and a soda for my meal. Not the entire full experience but since they do specialize in soups as well as other things, I think it counts as trying a place out. The chips were a national brand so those were as delicious as expected. The chili was your standard chili. A little better than normal but seeing as it was your basic chili without any special flavorings, it did it's job. If you look below, you will see a photo of Tim and I. In said photo, I look pissed or upset about something. Looks can be deceiving as this was not the case. Tim and I have known each other since pre-school and have butted heads a million times over the years. But when we butt heads, we do it in a comical way where its not serious. We get all huff-n-puff and argue with each other but it's more entertainment for us than actually arguing. I think maybe we've actually argued less than the number of fingers on our hand (figuring you have all your fingers). I decided to include it just as a fun glimpse at a side of my friendships that no one really gets to see. As for Potbelly, it's a nice place to eat. I would place it in the same class as Panera or Noodles and Company. An upscale subway, if you want to think of it like that. I've been wanting to go back as their menu does look appetizing and they have some sandwiches that are absolutely delicious looking. Funny enough, my sister and I almost came here for her birthday lunch but she ended up opting for Tequila's instead. Someday Potbelly, someday.

Every time the pizza is crap is when the General Manager works! he is so stingy with toppings! paying all this money for no toppings is criminal! tonight barely any cheese and guess who was working!!! I asked an employee why and I was told that he pre-makes the pizzas! plus one night I heard him yelling at an employee and I called another Pizza Hut and they told me the GM is known for that and not to email because he flags the emails! I will never go back unless he is no longer there!

I have been a long time Customer of this Pizza Hut and every time the general manager is working…read morethe food is just absolutely horrible. He skimps on toppings, sauce on the wings, everything. I have asked the other employees why when he is working the service is crap, I have been told he pre makes the pizzas with very limited toppings and product. I'm not just making this up here are pictures of countless times I have had a horrible experience while the general manager is working. Do not waste your money at this Pizza Hut. And if you see reviews on here that have 5 Stars, they are not legit, there is a sign by the register advertising a free 20oz Soda if you give him a 5 Star review.
