Love this place! Great burgers and fried chicken. Standard country fare, but so good, especially for the price! It is obvious why this place has so many people waiting to get in. You can dine-in or pick up. The pickup window is outside, so very convenient. Friendly, economic, and tasty.UPDATE 5/14/2021: I've been here 6 times, and every single time my burger has been cooked to my preference (medium-rare) perfectly! I ask for crispy fries, that's how they come, crispy outside, tender inside, and not burnt. The young miss at the pickup window is incredibly polite and positive. Place across the street should take a lesson from Bells, from food quality, price, and customer service.6/924 UPDATE: Trying something new today. Fish sandwich and piece of chicken. Man, they are consistently good with everything I try. 5-stars again!7/10/24 UPDATE: I am happy to say that, for the latter part of 2023, something happened that made the staff, food and atmosphere unappealing, but that is now fixed. For 5 months I wouldn't go because the food and service changed - so much so that my friends and I thought there was new ownership. The burgers were always overcooked, the fries undercooked, and you couldn't substitute the fries for a simple salad without using full price (which, unfortunately, is still the case). Thankfully, though, the fries are back to (mostly) crispy, I can get a consistent medium-rare burger, and the sides are hot! Yay!!! Now, I go once per week...
Good home cookingThe Club sandwich was the best I’ve hadGreat portionsKaren was our server and she was great!Made a bunch of old geezers feel right at homeAll of our group raved about their food and service!
I need to ask. Has anyone ever actually had a hamburger from here? Well at least In the modern era?! Probably started out with an attempt at being a hamburger joint like McDonald's etc. but thank goodness they're niech ended up being fried chicken!!! Oh don't get me wrong! There's been nothing on the menu, that I couldnt and haven't always enjoyed!! But if there are any first timers left, you get the fried chicken your first time around!
I REALLY WANTED TO TRY EVERYTHING. THE FOOD SMELLS AMAZING EVEN FROM THE PARKING LOT. THERE IS AN EXTENSIVE MENU , AND HAVE SALADS, BURGERS , DOGS, HOME-STYLE PLATES, SEAFOOD, LOTS OF SIDES AND VEGGIES. THE SERVICE WAS GREAT AND THE FOOD WAS MADE FRESH BUT DID NOT TAKE LONG TO GET IT TO US.
When I saw this I turned around and had to give it a try. It did not disappoint! I'm excited to come back, and will take a longer route to give other menu options that I was too full. The burger hit the spot, and the Georgia fried chick wings were delicious! Plenty of dessert options too.
We had a pretty good experience here. I could tell they were short staffed and the restaurant was busy, under these circumstances, they did a fantastic job!! We had a party of 12! We got our food fast and it was fresh! Very good!! We never had to ask for a refill. All of our orders were correct! I wish this restaurant was in our town!
Great food , wonderful service , a lot of smiling faces . It’s small and older but it’s a great place to. Don’t let the size or the age keep you from giving it a shot. They offer a variety of foods and they are so good .
PHONE ORDER PICKUP: Ordered two: Fried Chicken and Fried Fish Meals.Grade A. Reliable quality food that has always been on their A-game. We appreciate that and will continue to order.
