The girl at the register did not greet me or ask what she could get for me - just stared blankly at me, being obviously aggravated that I dared to show up 30 minutes before they close.

It comes with a side and I chose onion rings. So this was pretty good. It was hot and fresh and the cheese was melty.

There are a few outdoor seats if you want to eat here. Most people were taking it to-go. The liquor store next door gets a lot of action. Reasonable prices. Ask for extra napkins!

As was the case last time, the food itself was delicious... it definitely handled the cheesesteak craving. I did find it off putting to pay a $.60 up-charge to add on mayo and then another $.60 for lettuce at a sandwich place. When I pointed out their menu indicated mayo specifically had no fee, the lady curtly told me that it did. As last time, the sandwich was very good, though a bit overpriced at $12-$13 per pop - especially if they're charging extra for just dressing their subs with lettuce and mayo. 4 stars for food quality. Minus 1 star for silly monetary practices, here. It's also worth pointing out that their original does Not come with green peppers, as their photo here depicts.

I really liked this place. This brewery has a great vibe, is HUGE, good service, yummy food, tasty beer and considering it was a cold, icky night when we went - there was more people there than I would have thought. My smash melt was so good. Messy but a good type of messy. It was also a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be. The shepherds pie was really runny. A spoon was definitely the utensil of choice but the flavor was spot on. I struggled to get up the stairs because of my knees (both are new) and it appears to be the only stairs so I had to wait for some servers to go up (& vice versa) but when we got up there it was very cool. Honestly, this place is huge. I cannot stress that enough. There was a big party next to us and I watched how they were waited on...because sometimes big parties can be a challenge. It appeared that no one waited a unreasonable time to get their refills. Even a spill was taken care of by staff swiftly. That is a good sign. However, our service was just good. It took a long time to get a beer and we never got out second one we just paid and left All that being said, I will be back.

Hundreds of Hops US Hop Passport Amazing Brewery Race Stop 30 - 1/18 for Missouri…read more We stopped here as our first stop on our Missouri Brewery Race, plotted intentionally for the eats... specifically all you can eat fried chicken day... not that I could eat a whole lot of it, but I love good fried chicken and that KFC at home isn't scratching that itch. Needless to say, I ordered the fried chicken, dark meat. The hubs got a maple syrup (flavored, turns out - definitely NOT maple syrup). The table behind us ordered directly after our order was put in and also ordered all you can eat fried chicken, dark meat. When i heard, "we're sold out of that", with my order not up yet, I thought we were in for potential problems. Now, at 845pm, I'd understand that but 15min after the "special" starts, with a half empty dining room... I'm gonna have some questions. For example: Why is there no chicken available at open on fried chicken day? Anywho, the plates come out & I'd guess the potatoes were from the last special... cold & crusty, topped with the thickest, most concentrated "gravy" I've ever seen. Both were inedible. The broccoli was cooler than it should have been served at but tasted good. The real star was definitely the fried chicken. It absolutely hit the spot - unfortunately, they were indeed sold out of dark meat & i ended up with a wing... sigh - thankfully, I got 1 thigh, my true love & although it was all you can eat (only way they sell it), 1 thigh is about all I can eat. Still, I could have skipped the sides all together for a 2nd thigh... The burger was "ok", nicely cooked, but maple flavor is not at all the same as real maple syrup tho & it definitely could be improved with real maple syrup. The beer was pretty tasty. We had 3 different ones & could have pulled a 4th had the timing worked out. Overall, a so-so experience. I'm not sure why, when I ordered, that I wasn't told that there wasn't enough chicken for a dark meat order. I would have asked if there was a thigh left & likely still ordered it when they said yes, but it would have been my choice then. They did stop selling the chicken special before we cashed out.

The amount of bacon in the soup was plentiful and definitely not unwelcome. The sandwich was a great as well. The flavor was great, the meat was juicy, and the bagel was shockingly thick. I will say, the steak and sauce soaked into the bun pretty immediately and made it decently soggy, so I would eat that as quickly as you can if you don't care for that. I went on a Monday afternoon and it was pretty busy, but it wasn't loud at all. The booth was comfortable and I was there with my husband for a few hours and it was a really nice time. When I first got there, I had put in my order and then realized I left something important at home, so I went up to the workers and asked if they could hold off my order until I got back. They immediately said yes, and even remembered my order before I could tell them what it was when I came back. 10/10

A review about Gordon's by me is long overdue. So here goes: This little gem of a diner has been…read moreserving the "Best Hamburgers on the World Since 1948" - now I know that sounds like a claim that might be hard to live up to since people have their own ideas about what the best is. So to clarify, if you like a smash burger done on a flat grill, while you sit at the "bar" and watch the magic, and love fresh hot shoestring fries, and a soda with a consistently accurate post-mix, the you really need to try Gordon's. Make sure you have cash or use their helpful ATM. Service is fast and friendly, atmosphere is the true diner experience and never is heard a discouraging word. I highly recommend Gordon's Stoplight Drive-In. Actually it's more like a "walk-up" to the outside order window, and you can grab one of their pic-nic tables outside when the weather is nice. *****
