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.

It was dead on a Monday night and food took way too long, small portions of tots and again NO smash burger meat? WHAT!?! Moving on we ordered build your own burgers and after the long wait my wife's burger patty was in three pieces, falling apart. I think the chef tried to cover up a mistake. We asked for it to be remade which seemed to take too long to remake burger! The ambiance is nice but could really use some better management! The only reason I gave 2 stars is that the burgers we did get were good. We will not be back!

Server was attentive and did her best to work through the after church rush. There was a line out of the door and we had to wait a bit, but not longer than 10 minutes or so. Food was cooked well, even with a few special requests of the kitchen (blame a picky eater in the fam). Overall we agreed that the server was great (attentive, nice, and knowledgeable) and the food was typical of a tourist attraction (not the best, but OK). The biggest issue was the food was slow out of the kitchen (approximately 45 minutes after arrival we received our food), but we had a view of the kitchen and the cooks were running around like a machine (actually working, and definitely doing their best to keep up with the rush). Overall, would recommend for a tourist stop if you have the time!

Gluten free Gold mine…read more I can't say enough good things about Scruff Grill. As someone who has struggled to find safe, delicious, actually enjoyable gluten-free meals, this place absolutely blew me away. Their gluten-free options are incredible--thoughtfully crafted, full of flavor, and far beyond the usual "substitute and hope for the best" approach most restaurants take. The gluten-free buns are a standout: soft, sturdy, and honestly the best I've ever had. They don't fall apart! That alone would earn them five stars, but it gets even better. They use dedicated fryers, something that's nearly impossible to find, and their staff is impressively knowledgeable about cross-contamination, ingredients, and allergen safety. I felt understood, respected, and genuinely cared for. Every bite was packed with bold, unmatched flavor. It's clear the team here takes pride in what they create, and it shows in the entire dining experience. Scruff Grill has earned my gratitude and my repeat business. If you're gluten-free--or even if you aren't--you have to try this place. It's a gem.

No smoking which was a huge plus considering that our search for dinner (while driving), came up with a lot of places that still allowed smoking inside. I have to compliment them on their brewed tea. So many times, a restaurant will say fresh brewed and they just serve freshly made instant. That is not the same! This was authentic and freshly made. Hubby ordered the Fireman's Fish and I had the cheesy chicken sandwich. We also tried the spiral chips based on the server's recommendation. Everything was great and that basket of chips was pretty addicting and definitely worth ordering. Definitely worth a stop!
