Had taken a friend to Shelbyville to hook up with family but couldn't find them. On the return we picked up some things at Walmart. When we finished shopping we grabbed a burger and fries at this burger joint. The burger was tasty and the fries were cooked to perfection. Service was very friendly. Served promptly on small aluminum trays. Very nice place.

We’ve eaten at this place a few times, and it’s always good. I like that the craft your own option. This time we ordered two our way plus The Big Easy burger with chili cheese fries. Their onion rings are very good. However, they used diced onions instead of sliced onions on the burgers, which I find messy. You definitely need several napkins for this food.

I had my first experience here today and will definitely be coming back. Conveniently located in Walmart. My meal was cooked to order, and the service was both fast and friendly. Omar and his staff offer incredible quality, and greet each guest as a friend. Highly recommend!

My wife and I ate lunch here for the first time on Thursday October 17, 2024. We were happily greeted and waited on by Barbara. She was very nice the entire visit. We both ordered the "Impossible Melt", French Fries and Chocolate Milkshakes. The French Fries were fantastic, just right crispy, hot and fresh. The Chocolate Milkshake was thick and very good. The Impossible Melt was not so good. It was thin and so greasy that the bun was mushy and falling apart but tasted ok. I would never order the Impossible Melt ever again but I may go back for fries and a shake. Overall spending almost twenty dollars is way overpriced for two not so good melts, decent fries and shakes!

Omar and his staff are top notch. He always greets me as "my friend". We've been customers for 5 years and plan to continue for many more. He remembers our order every time and always gets it right. All the way to my wife's mustard packets. Here's your well deserved 5 stars my friend. Well deserved indeed.

The Buffalo chicken tenders with Cajun tots were amazing! The cashier and manager were very friendly and welcoming to me and my family. Great place to eat.

The burgers were delicious and perfectly melty. Oreo shake was perfect for drinking through a straw. Fries were hot and crispy but could have used some more salt/seasoning. Was surprised food this good came out of a Walmart kiosk store!!
