Yes, I highlighted my favorite Bible verse! I sat in a booth and was immediately greeted by the friendly waitress who took my order. Drinks are serve yourself which was a nice touch! I ordered a relish dog, fries, onion rings and lemon pie. The fries and onion rings arrived almost immediately and the hot dog shortly after. All were hot, fresh and flavorful! I didn't eat all the fries but all were delicious. I highly recommend you stop in and support this local business.

Amazing experience. Small town restaurant with the absolute best hot dogs (get the West Virginia…read moredog)! The owner greeted us and we came back the next day, he recognized us and details about where we were from. So incredibly friendly

Do not go in to make it back from you lunch hr you won't. Girl at the front register today is clueless (maybe new) but lacks the attitude to be in service. There were 3 people there and no one seemed to make things happen. I sat 1 hr to get my Chix sub I saw 6 people bitching on their cells about the wait. Major corrections need to happen asap or I fear this place will not make it

So good. Worth the stop…read more We were driving back to Columbus and decided to stop at Smash Shack Burger and I'm so glad we did. Everything was sooo good. We ordered to-go and the wait time was only about 10 minutes, which was impressive. We got smash burgers, fries, and nuggets, and all of it hit. Burgers were juicy and flavorful, fries were solid, and the nuggets were a surprise favorite. Highly recommend if you're passing through. We'll definitely be back to try more items on the menu next time!

I checked the menu several times, and "coney sauce" was never listed as part of the dish. When I tried to address the issue, the customer service was very disappointing. The manager apparently didn't feel the situation was important enough to address, and the employee at the counter seemed annoyed that I even brought it up. I wasn't asking for a refund -- I simply wanted what I actually ordered. Instead, I left feeling ignored and unheard. Customer service and communication matter just as much as the food.

If you are nearby or even traveling past the area on I-71 it's worth the side trip to eat here. This is the same kinda place you would hang out at after school or on the weekends to meet girls after piling into your friend's hot rod and cruising around. A true American experience that has largely disappeared from the landscape, but this one is still here at least.

We were obviously missing something to not give 4-5 stars to this joint like nearly everyone else…read moredid - 2 stars for the hot dogs and foot long we ordered .. we were the only 2 people in this place during peak lunch hours so we should have known better .. we ordered 2 items to be deep fried and 1 lady had to tell the other to turn on the fryer since she had not done it yet .. ok .. no biggie .. as soon as it heated up we could smell how old it was and a "fishy" smell was also coming from the cooking area .. a guy had walked in to place a to go order so I was hoping maybe he had ordered the fish sandwich .. it was not to be .. our 2 fried items tasted like fish .. while we do enjoy a good fish sandwich we did not enjoy onion rings and a corn dog tasting of fish .. gross .. into the trash those went .. the overall look if the place is awful .. not to mention just grimy looking .. the entire interior needs to be scrubbed down with a big soapy brush .. too bad .. we so looked forward to checking this place out and finally had a weekday off to do so since they are closed on Saturday and Sunday .. but NEVER AGAIN
