    Bacon Pastrami Burger with fries and okra
    Roz C.

    Pulling up you question whether or not this is drive through ... wonder how it works. However, the reviews made me demand a pastrami. Inside, it's actually larger than what it seems from the outside. It was very clean and had a decent amount of people either dining or waiting for food (good sign). I told them it was my first visit, and ordered the pastrami sandwich, pastrami bacon burger, fries. They had fried pickles as a special so I added them. The young lady and, what I assumed was the owner were, very nice. The owner personally packed my bag and told me to try the fried Okra with the thousand island dressing ... on the house! It was very sweet of him. The food was delicious. He was right, the okra with thousand island was really good! I LOVED the fried pickles. The pastrami was delicious and the burger outstanding! I think I found my new burger joint! Thanks to the owner! Once I found his name I'll repost.

    Too expensive I can get better food anywhere else for a better price. $15.79 is just greed. I'm done buying here and telling my family and friends to stop as well.

    The RUDE employee!

    So I'm going to give this place 1star but I'll tell you why. It'll be short and to the point. We've been coming here from Hanford and to us it's the best place for good ol' burgers, fries and of course fried shrooms! We have never had any issues with food or customer services UNTIL today! We went to have lunch which we typically go for dinner and this time we had a different employee (girl) who took our order. From the get go she was rude and ZERO smile. Not even a freaking fake smile for the sake of her job. She made this experience horrible. Plus she handed us a wipe to clean our own table!! Ridiculous!! If those are the owners cooking in the back you MUST be aware of the poor customer service this girl is giving your loyal customers! I hate to call her "girl" but with no name tag that's the nicest name I can call her. I'm sure the locals know who she is. This can't be the 1st time. So we won't be returning during the midday anymore!

    Pastrami bacon burger
    Clarissa L.

    This was our first time here and ever hearing it let me say, these burgers are awesome! I was a little confused how everything worked because we never go to drive up. You just walk up to the window to order then they give you a little beeper for when it's ready so you can wait in your car. The person taking the orders was super friendly and helped me carry some things out when I couldn't carry it all. I felt like they were a great price for the size of the burgers and it was enough food to be filling. I had the pastrami burger combo and everything was great! The fries came out hot and weren't soggy like I feel most crinkle cut fries are, and the burger had balanced flavors so nothing was overpowering. We got the kids burger and chicken nuggets and my kids peacefully shared the chicken nuggets because there were plenty there to share between 2 toddlers. The tea was a bit watered down, but probably just needed the bag switched out. Only thing I'd change is just refilling the drink machine.

    Love this little burger joint. Their fried burritos are really good too. Super friendly staff!

    Great food, fast. Very very expensive for what you get, that's why I can't give 5 stars. But, I can't complain elsewhere.

I had a delivery driver who also happened to pick up my orders from here. We got to talking about other spots in town and I mentioned this place and he says, "ohhh you're THAT Frank". Automatically I'm like "uh oh" lol. Now before you start wondering "two sides to every story"; here's mine. I order a burrito combo with a large limonada. I ask for my burrito with just meat and rice, sometimes onions. I ask for it to be grilled. I asked for (2) to (3) serrano peppers on the side. Before they "disappeared" off of GrubHub, they had a button on their page for sauces. They don't charge for them on the app and don't have a quantity cap, so i usually ask for around (4) to (5) green and the same in habanero. The burritos are big and I'm a salsa kind of guy lol. If 10 sauces overall is too much, then that's fine. At least give me something lol. I've been given (0) or (1) at times. My burrito is 50/50 sometimes grilled, sometimes not "mostly not", they will forget my drinks from time to time. When i ask the driver, they say they weren't given a drink. My food has come cold, the meat has been chewy and fatty. I've had to get refunds on orders because of the quality. So I always ask the drivers to make sure my drinks are there and my sauces are in the bag. But here I've been, coming back cause i was genuinely a happy customer more times than not. Then to randomly hear from a delivery driver who's picked up your orders from here before, you've been talked "sh$t' about. So much that he even contemplated telling me "DONT ORDER FOOD FROM HERE". This is a place you've given business to on a regular basis! It's disheartening and it hurts. My last review was even a good one lol. Needless to say I'm not coming back. Pretty messed up too, cause i was happy to see them come to town since i first encountered them in Bakersfield. Oh well.. talk all the crap you want now, hope you read this. I know one customer ain't no love lost. But now everyone will know how they're being treated behind their backs. Better places in town to find.

    The Gold Standard of Fast Food: A&W Exeter…read more If you're tired of the "fast food lottery"--where you never know if your burger will look like a gourmet meal or something that's been sat on--it is time to pull into the A&W in Exeter. This spot isn't just a quick stop; it's a masterclass in how consistency should be done. The "What You See Is What You Get" Factor We've all been there: the menu picture shows a towering masterpiece, but the actual tray holds a sad, flat disappointment. Not here. At this location, the food is stupid consistent. When they bring your tray out, it looks exactly like the photos--fresh, stacked perfectly, and ready for its close-up. Why It Hits Different * Fresh Ingredients: You can actually taste the quality. The veggies are crisp, the buns are soft, and nothing feels like it's been sitting under a heat lamp for an hour. * The Fries: Always served piping hot and seasoned to perfection. No soggy, lukewarm disappointments in these red fry sleeves. * The "Secret Weapon": Let's talk about that ranch. It's easily some of the best-tasting ranch in the game--creamy, zesty, and the perfect partner for those fries or a side of cheese curds. * The Legend: You simply cannot leave without a mug of that ice-cold draft root beer. There is a massive difference between a canned soda and a frosted glass of the draft stuff. It's the ultimate thirst-quencher. Service With a Real Smile Beyond the kitchen, the staff is always super friendly. In a world where service can feel rushed or robotic, the team in Exeter actually seems happy to see you. They're fast, they're polite, and they make the whole experience feel like a classic neighborhood hangout. Pro Tip: If you're looking for that nostalgic, small-town vibe paired with food that actually lives up to the hype, this is the spot. #hotFRIES #mouthwateringburgers #smalltownfeel #ExeterCA #GatewaytotheSequoias

Also, I only found it because of Yelp, so I should pay it forward! The service was incredible. I don't remember the young girls name, but my receipt says "KDS U" as server if that helps. She was so nice and patient with my millions of questions. And she pointed me in the right direction. When I got home and ate my 3 piece tenders with Mac n cheese, I was so happy. It was so tasty.

Money down the drain. I could've gone to in and out or I could have gone to McDonalds but the fact that I choose here should be a reason the food should taste good for people to come back for years to come Won't be back very disappointing..
