    You don't come here for healthy food. There is a grilled chicken sandwich option. Other choices are higher in fat and calories from burgers, hot dogs, chicken tenders, deep fried sides such as cheddar peppers, onion rings and tots, the frozen zone includes blasts, shakes, and sundaes. Park, order and pay at a screen that includes a full menu. Masked car hops deliver your order directly to you car. Sometimes they will be on roller skates, but typically not. We waited from 11:52am until 12:04, only 12 minutes for the delivery. And our order was almost correct. The chicken sandwich was not grilled, instead it was fried. You can't eat healthy, even if you try. Everyone else found their hot meal just fine.

    Same great food (and mission to help animals), new name! We came out for a last-minute weeknight…read moredate night and it was a great change of pace. Service was fast and friendly- the man taking our order offered decent recommendations! The mac and cheese bites were the perfect blend of crispy and creamy - just be sure to let them cool off first! My husband got the Chicago Dog, and it received his Chicagoland native stamp of approval. The Classic Smash burger with the single patty was the perfect amount for me. (I'd recommend a double burger for only $2 more if you are feeling hungry though.) The fries were also hot and done perfectly. Overall, this is a fantastic addition to Columbia- a great spot to stop for lunch or dinner, a couple of drinks, or a football game.

    Disappointed overall but would give one more try for other menu items…read more I'll describe my food as ordered. *The lobster roll IS NOT A LOBSTER ROLL. They should clarify that it's the PAWZ version of lobster roll and add a description. It's looks like Ham salad on a bun. Completely pulverized meat specks mixed with who knows what. I very seriously doubt it has much lobster in it. I ordered to go and didn't feel like running back. Had I been dining in, I would have immediately sent it back. Presentation was a 0/10, flavor 2/10. The homemade slaw is bland, in large pieces and onion heavy. Also a 0/10. To add insult, this was an almost $20 sandwich. *The Fish Tacos, again, I am doubting what was served. The fish was more gray than flaky white, but they were far better than the lobster roll. Presentation was a 8/10. Flavor was a 6/10, because the fish wasn't super fresh, and certainly didn't appear to be flaky white mahi. The street corn was a 1/10 and served refrigerator cold and that in itself didn't fit the dish. *The chicken sandwich was good. The best of the 3. Presentation was a 5/10 because the put a sauced and sloppy lettuce & tomato on it. The heat of transport softened it all and it was a mess when you open the container. Toppings should be on the side. The flavor was a 10/10. The fries were just fries. All in all with a tip it was $56 and not great. The service was 10/10. The man taking orders & serving was very polite. The restaurant was clean, and their outdoor patio looked like it would be enjoyable. I think I'll stick to their land food and give one more try for a burger and maybe the beef street tacos. Solely because of the kind service & proximity to my house.

For the first time in forever we got there during happy hour so what do we do? Save money? No, we order two appetizers instead of one! We always get the wings, and we got fried pickles that were part of the $5 appetizer choices, you can choose from several and alcohol specials, too. I always do build your own, you fill out the sheet from a pad on the table choosing your ingredients by category. I usually get the beef but last couple times I have ordered chicken but got similar toppings, Spinach, tomato, chipotle aioli, and fried jalapenos on toasted sourdough. Love it! For a small upcharge you can get a salad as a side, I like to do that because I can steal a few of the delicious fries from my companions. The salad is generous, spring mix, red onion, tomato, croutons. It comes with shaved parmesan, but I ask them to leave that off. The champagne vinaigrette is perfect. This is my favorite burger place, but I like that I can get a great chicken sandwich!

    Always enjoy my annual visit to Miller's on Main in Columbia! I believe they just recently redid…read morethe interior with new seating and tables, and I gotta say I'm a big fan of the new seats. You can tell they're still pretty new but dang are they comfy. The booths and lighting also got a makeover, I think, so everything looks really nice on the interior. Our service was very good, with our server consistently checking up on us and keeping our drinks refilled. Oftentimes she would come by and refill or give us more sauce without even needing to ask which is always nice! For the food, had to get the pretzel bites again this year (didn't get a photo sadly), but they were amazing as always and the cheese sauce was the perfect temp and flavor to go along with the crisp, soft, and slightly sweet pretzel bite dough. For my entree, I went with the NY steak sandwich with a side of onion rings & horseradish sauce. I'm more of a fan of steak sandwiches that have cut meat rather than a full slab/steak, so despite this one being a full steak it was still pretty good. The bread was buttery and crispy, the provel cheese added an STL metro feel to it, and the horseradish sauce, although not very creamy, was a very nice addition (had to request it on the side). The onion rings were just okay; I thought they didn't have too much flavor but they were pretty crunchy which was nice and matched the expected style when looking at them. I would've liked some more flavor from the onion rings and maybe a veggie addition or something to the steak sandwich, but overall the food was pretty good this year. I will definitely be back again, hopefully before next year!

    The BF and I came here for date night and also stayed for amateur comedy hour…read more A small dive bar in south city with friendly employees and a limited cocktail menu. The worst aspect is the ventilation which needs much work. We came out smelling so greasy and smokey. We seated ourselves and waited a minute for our waitress to assist us. She kept saying she was new, that it was like her second day or something and didn't quite know the menu. She also didn't know how to make a drink, with that being the case why are you allowed to make any cocktails. If you have a limited cocktail menu but an extensive bar selection you would think their cocktail specials were on point. Nooooo. The BF tried a margarita special and it was awful. I tried a special crafted cocktail that was cool that our waitress asked the guy bartending to specially make because she had no clue about what I was talking about. I hate going to a spot where I make drinks better than the bartenders on hand and that's your job. The BF ordered the the garlic burger and I ordered the Korean wings which NEVER came out because our waitress forgot to order them. So I shared food with the BF. The burger was extremely underwhelming, not seasoned at all. How do you specialize in burgers and mess that up. The best item we ate was the fries and the comedy show was good. I love dinner and entertainment. We are burger enthusiast and if this what your restaurant specializes in I expect to be wowed. We saw all the social media hype surrounding this place and were so excited to try them. To find out it was ALL just hype is a real let down. No we will not be returning, the burgers and service speak for themselves.

    Rip Tres Equis; Bienvenidos Smash Em's…read more After much anticipation and an impromptu visit, I was finally able to check this place out. They're known for their smash burgers and seasoned fries. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get the food bc I had dinner plans, but I did stay for a couple drinks. They have a great selection of spirits and cocktail specials. My friend got a tequila sunrise, so I followed suit. The pour was quite generous, I must say, and I'm def not complaining. The drink was smooth, with the perfect amount of tequila and sweetness. The bartenders working were both friendly and sociable. The vibe was relaxed and is a great alternative when things get too crazy at the dam. While I only got drinks, I'll for sure be back. The smells alone (all good of course) will have you lingering 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.
