Ate at the bar at the Murphysboro location tonight. The place is nice and the food was alright, but…read moreit was so bright in there you almost needed sunglasses. For 7:30 pm on a Friday, that's not what I expected and I'd think not what most people in there would prefer. It's too bad, because the vibe could be perfect for a date night meal.

He came back a minute later and took my order which included coffee he would make. The waitress came over shortly to check on me saying the coffee was almost done. Great coffee. I had shrimp tacos. Good tacos. Good salsa. The service was outstanding imo. Waitress was outstanding, she was alone and the dining room filled up quickly after I got there. I was in and out in 40 minutes, eating leisurely. There was a sign saying hiring wait and kitchen staff. I wish it wasn't lunch so I could have tried their beer.

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.

Most of the time, it's good but every now and then, we've gotten burgers that oddly taste like tap water or even soap. Also, fair warning: if the weather suddenly turns dangerous (like hail or a tornado) after you've already placed an order and are waiting outside, don't expect to be let in. Even in a weather emergency, they won't allow shelter. (Our weather report was not accurate otherwise we wouldn't have even left our house.)

Shout out to reviewer Ken M. for influencing me to try Chuck's Place ......you were right!…read more I had the large cheeseburger with everything and onion rings. My partner went with the wimpy burger ( not a wimpy burger.. 1.2 lbs) and cajun fries. From the moment you walk in, you know you've found a true local spot. It's small, cozy and decorated with fun signs and memorabilia. The staff are amazing, friendly, welcoming, and just the kind of people you want to see when you're about to dive into comfort food. Even at 1:30 pm, that in between lunch/dinner time, the place was steadily busy. And now I know why. The onion rings? Fantastic. I'm an onion ring snob and these were fresh, crispy, and legit. no frozen batter here, and none of that "pull the whole onion out in one bite" nonsense ( I hate that). The fries were hot, crisp and perfectly seasoned. And the burger is 100% beef, juicy, and packed with flavor. This is a local gem and I'm so glad we went. We'll definitely be back.
