I struggled a little with my rating for this one. On the one hand, theyre a diner with gravy fries - and as someone with roots in Baltimore I appreciate that. The rest of the food checks in as a fantastic level of "This isnt good for me but I dont care because it tastes really good and we dont do this often!" On the other hand, the service here struggles to strike a balance between "Hey, whered you go?" and "I assure you that were OK as we were 120 seconds ago!" On two occasions, we asked for milk for our daughter to drink and they were out (my understanding for one is that the freezer went nuts and iced it all). This doesnt stop us from GOING (like I said ... gravy fries) its just something we feel we have to build into our plans to visit. Thats why I chose a solid 3 stars - there are pluses and minuses here and you just have to know what youre jumping into.

My wife and I stopped in for a burger and a shake on a slow Sunday night. We ordered a classic cheese burger combo. We asked if we could substitute the fries for slaw, the reaction to us not ordering fries was odd to us both. We didnt feel comfortable in the restaurant. The employees who were all younger women made under their breath comments and were very rude. Food was okay. Ordered a chocolate shake, the order taker told me they dont have chocolate shakes, but they can add chocolate syrup to a vanilla shake. Smh, lastly when I paid for the meal I gave the cashier a $20.00 dollar bill and she gave me a $5.00 bill three ones and 7 dimes. I noticed the amount of change I received was wrong and asked for a receipt. I should of been given $9.70 as the meal cost $10.30.

This was the 2nd time my husband and I visited the restaurant. The first time was pleasurable and did not warrant for us to have any complaints. This second time we visited the restaurant my husband ordered a double cheeseburger and I ordered a regular burger with a shake. The staff were nice but the burger my husband ordered had the paper that separates the meat patties was still on the burger. It was very digusting and unsanitary. We tried to call the restaurant to speak with staff to warn the cook to be more careful but was met with disgusting and sarcastic attitudes. So NO we will NOT be returning.

The food was good. But we waited 45mins for our food. One wroker was talking about smoking when she get off, and she wish people will stop coming in. Everybody orders was just sitting there for 30 mins or longer. They was all talking trash to each other out loud. They dont use gloves or wash their hands when scooping the ice cream out. The cooks did wear gloves, thank you for that. The girls hair was just flying every where. This is the worst, and unorganized resturant i have every been too. I will never go back. This location needs to be shut down or new employees that are professional.

Got a burger "Carolina Style" with mustard, slaw, and chili. At first thought there was a mistake since there was nothing on top, instead they put the toppings under the pattie . . . and so little it was hard to even tell they were there. Bun cold, burger tasteless and only lukewarm as if it had been precooked. The patty was so dry it was crumbling apart as I ate, looked like it had been smashed down repeatedly on the flattop. Fries are the generic frozen crinkle cut, disappointing for a diner. Also server was more interested in her smartphone than me.

I havent been here in quite some time so I was eager to check it out simply for the sake of variety. Super pleased with the burger and fries that I was served. The burger was tasty and the bun held together even though there were a number of condiments on board. The fries were thin, crinkle cut, and fried to a slight crisp, just the way I like them. The staff was super, super friendly, smiling, and interested in how my meal was going. Thanks for a great experience!

This place has been on a steady decline and today was my last visit. Came in for shakes, but they were out of malt. I got my Daughter a kids meal, but they are out of cars to place them in. Guy cleaning windows has entire place smelling like Windex. Dining at its worst... Update: Guy cleaning the windows treated my Daughter like a Queen and was exceptionally nice to us. My Daughter was pleased with the fresh made juice.

Hwy 55 is a great place to go for a quick burger or meal. Ive had both their burgers and cheesesteaks, and I usually end up ordering a cheesesteak. Service is quick and friendly, prices are excellent and I especially love the fact toppings dont cost extra. The fries are excellent as well as the custard. Definitely a go to when looking for a quick, cheap meal out!

Stopped here on our drive north based on the reviews. The place is dirty, they didnt have toilet paper, and they ran out of milk (they specialize in milkshakes?!?). I had to go next door to dollar tree to buy milk for my 4 year old. The service is slow and they messed up my mother in laws order. NEVER COMING AGAIN

I saw the sanitation score and it is kinda low for a burger joint, but in the times Ive gone Ive always seen them wash their hands and change gloves. The cashiers are simply lovely and the cook knows how to cook it just right.

Could very well be the worst burger restaurant in the triangle! Check their sanitary score before going there. For years its been running 88 to low 90s. Its not the score that bothers me, its the violations they find.

The food here is always soo good! But every time weve gone, theyve looked really understaffed with only one person handling orders (dine-in, takeout, and phone orders), bringing the food out, and managing payments.

Im very disappointed with this place. The food here is good but their ability to get your order right seems to be very difficult at time. If you go here to eat. I recommend that you go during off peak hours.

I am a Carolina Boy, raised on cheeseburgers with mustard, chili, slaw, onions, (and a few drops of A.1., why they are prepping the meat, for it to be more a family diner, no complaints

They have a childrens menu but no childrens drinks. The chilli cheese fries were horrible! The chilli was like water and had no flavor, while the fries were undercooked with no salt!

I love the atmosphere! There is fantastic customer service especially my favorite servers Lindsey and Marissa. Great deal in the Andys burger combo and the 5 stars to the custard.

Like the lemonade and wings. Hate the fact that their ice cream is not always available. Every time I have been in the last year it was not working or out of order. So sad.

I really enjoyed eating there. I liked the music, yeah it took me back a little, but thats ok. You really should check it out. My waiter was friendly. Thank you.
