The waitress was super friendly and getting slammed with folks coming in to see the band. First off smoking is allowed in this establishment, not my cup of tea but that's okay maybe it is for you. I got the Reuben and a baked potato. Hubby got a patty melt and fries with cheese. Rueben - the rye bread wasn't toasted much so the butter made it a little mushy. The sauerkraut was grilled nicely before it was put on the sandwich the corned beef did not have much seasoning to it at all, tasted like shaved plain beef. The baked potato was just that :) Patty melt cheese fries - the cheese had no flavor at all. Literally was like dipping it into tasteless goo. Patty melt was okay. Very light on the onion. To say the least -disappointing. They have video slots, crane machine, and a coin dozer. Only one waitress for the entire place and it's a band night. Hopefully she's able to make good tips with the tough time keeping up. Some people just don't understand. Will we return?? Probably not. Really not for us.

Its a fun atmosphere and the service staff is upbeat and happy. I love the way its decorated, with the string lights and it just gives a great comfy vibe. We started with the spinach and artichoke appetizer which hit the spot from the get go. I ordered a chicken sandwich, my husband a burger and we both got the famous fries. I asked what makes them so famous and our waitress said she didn't know but she knew they were good. I need the recipe! I totally could not stop eating them. Whatever their secret is, please share!! We definitely will be back when in the area!

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.
