When we opened the door, I immediately knew I'd love the fries. You could smell the delicious fry smell right away, and I wasn't wrong. Some of the best french fries I've ever had. The burger was great too! My wife got onion rings as a side, and I was like, "Are you nuts?! These fries are going to be so good!" The rings were fantastic though. Solid snap on the onion, which didn't slide out of the breading when I bit down. The service was friendly and quick, and the restaurant itself was clean as a whistle in the very cool Waterloo Arts District, just down the street from Beachland Ballroom. While walking to the car, we agreed that Doinks needed to be a regular date night stop. Killer burger spot.

The burger was a single smashed patty that tasted fresh and was not greasy at all. The fries paired really well with the burger. They were topped with cheese, bacon, sour cream, and green onions. Soooo good! We also tried the side of spicy pickles which were a great side dish. They tasted very fresh and were not too strong with vinegar or sweetness, if that's your preference. The margarita was simple but refreshing. Shout out to the bartender for his craft! My only critique was on the ube cheesecake. The flavor was delicious! Had a subtle vanilla flavor and the texture was great. It just tasted like it had been sitting uncovered in the fridge maybe? Other than that we had a great time and loved the atmosphere. The neighborhood is so nice and it's great to see local spots like this adding some charm. I'll be back!

You don't have…read moreto get a hotdog here, they offer a variety of different dishes that may pique your interest, but the dogs are really good!! I got a foot long and a polish boy. The footlong had chili and cheese on it which made it a "Big Daddy Footlong" and I added onions and jalapeños. The bun was ironclad, it didn't even tear when loaded up with chili. The chili is a family recipe so I've heard, it's delicious! Highly recommended. There are a variety of toppings as well, my buddy put pepperoni on his hotdog! The polish boy was insaaaaane. I smashed it in 30 seconds. Really good flavor to the sauce, goes great with the slaw. The bun did start to disintegrate but I drove back to work before eating it, so it sat for 12~ish minutes. Overall great experience, the staff were friendly and helpful, the food was delicious, it was priced extremely fair for the quality and the location gave me great big city deli/bodega vibes with a few tables you can eat at. Check it out!

Our food came out in a moderate amount of time, and the presentation was kinda eh. Our burgers were smashed down, bun and all and very messy, but the flavor was good! I ordered the veggie burger with mustard, onions, pickles, lettuce, tomato, ketchup and cajun seasoning. My husband ordered a double cheeseburger and some potato teasers (which were so good and crispy). Casual spot with a traditional hometown drive-in that feels more genuine than a Sonic. Good experience.

I love the teezers but the burger was a very big disappointed for me. For some reason our burger came with a bbq sauce in it which made the burgers very very sweet. It wasn't our idea of burgers.

If this was their best then I am terrible disappointed. Obviously we won't be back. We tried.

Then I got the sandwich, and I was like, actually, $17 is a more than fair price, LOL. For a second, I attempted to eat it with my hands, but its size made it an unwieldy experience. So I ate it with a knife and fork. And it was DELICIOUS. The sandwich came with a big piece of crispy fried chicken that the bun could barely contain. The chicken was fried fresh, so it was hot and juicy. In addition to being hot in temperature, it was hot spice-wise. It came with candied jalapeños, soy chili jam, pickles, and Sriracha. The spice was balanced well with some nice sweetness and a tasty kale slaw that added some brightness to the sandwich. Even the bun itself was delicious. The place is mainly a takeout spot, but there are a few tables if you want to dine in. The water is self-serve. There are cups and a sport cooler in front of the counter.

First time here! I was greeted immediately with a smile and a hello…read more There are so many eateries in this area. Today I decided to try food I hadn't had before. I pulled up the Chicken Ranch menu online and decided I would try them. It is a small establishment. Tables were clean. There is seating inside and two small tables outside for diners. The manager was explaining they make everything fresh and offered to answer any questions I had. I took a look at the specials then decided on a two piece crispy tenders meal. It came with a jalapeño corn muffin. It was 10 dollars and I chose a chocolate chip cookie with caramel and pecans in it because, why not. My chicken was delicious. I chose hot honey sauce because I was curious. It was so spicy and cleaned my sinuses right up. The sauce came on the side, thank goodness for that. The muffin was OK. It would have been better warmed. The cookie: sooooo good. Because I was being nice, I gave my kid a piece, but next time I will eat it in the car before I get home, like the pros do.

Anyone from Cleveland Ohio knows this is the best place to get corned beef. This is place actually…read moreis a vendor for restaurants that serve corned beef. Living in Atl it has been hard to find a good corned beef sandwich. I have gone to many restaurants and they just don't hit right. Anyways anytime I go back to Ohio this is a must stop spot. They have did some upgrades since I have last visited and the upgrades are good. Now the have a place where you can sit outside and eat, They have merchandise you can purchase, as well as buying freshly made sandwiches.The sandwiches you could always buy and the condiments were always for purchase as well. They still give out samples so if you have never tried the corned beef before they hook you on the free sample. Just writing this review is making think about making another trip to Cleveland just to get a few of these sandwiches. The sandwiches are always full of flavor and nice size for your $$. The rye bread is always soft in the middle and a little firm around the edges. If you ever want a good corned beef sandwich this is the place to visit. What I did like about this visit is I now se they had Cleveland merch for sale or at least to view. They have some Cleveland Ketchup chips, something I have never seen nor heard of. I did take a couple of pictures not sure I would even buy them but they were very interesting looking to say the least.They were selling some chocolate sea salt carmel corn???? looked delicious.Vienna is definitely getting the word out about who they are. I ended up purchasing a tumbler from them with their name on it. Because I don't live there I was definitely glad they had some collectable merchandise I could buy. The lines are still out the door but it is always worth the wait. As soon as the weather gets warm I will definitely be planning a trip up that way.

I tried their mango dole whip, before I settled on getting a flavor fave of mine - strawberry and vanilla swirl in a medium in a waffle cone. My soft serve was yummy and so refreshing! The medium size was huge! Next time, I'll get a small. I wish they would have provided me with more than ONE napkin! The ice cream started dripping immediately and I ended up so gross and sticky. I also wonder why cones of any kind cost extra. Normally, cake cones are free! And it is wild a waffle cone costs an extra $1.50! After years of living nearby Dairy King, I am happy I finally stopped by. Next time, I'll get my soft serve or dole whip in a cup and ask for extra napkins!

The line moved pretty quickly and they accept both cash and card. They serve vanilla, chocolate, and swirl soft serve, along with about 10-12 Pierre's ice cream flavors. They also have various flavored dole whips, hot dogs, pretzels, and chips. I got the banana parfait, which had vanilla wafers, real bananas, vanilla soft serve, caramel drizzle, and whipper cream. I subbed the caramel drizzle for a little strawberry sauce, however they layered the strawberry and put a little too on the parfait, it ended up being more like a strawberry sundae with bananas. It was still delicious and definitely satisfied that craving for a good soft serve. Places like this are dangerous, I'll be tempted to return often. Prices were a little hefty with my parfait and my cousin's brownie sundae being $6.95 each.
