About

Fast Food Restaurant
We serve up small batch, Cincinnati-style chili and fresh, hot 100% American beef burgers crafted by hand and made to order. Our chili is cooked in small batches to ensure the quality, flavor and texture are perfect, every time. And the burgers? Well, they really are from flat top grill heaven - juicy, perfectly cooked and even better when topped with our famous chili.

    I’m convinced this location only hires people if they are rude. Any time I have went through the drive thru, they shove a bag of food at you as quickly as possible and then slam the window almost as if they are trying to prevent you from having a moment to ask for anything extra. One time I asked for hot sauce for my 3 way, the person snapped that it was already in the bag and slammed the window. It was ketchup in the bag. Tonight I order a 3 way, theres no cheese, no crackers and I didn’t dare ask for any hot sauce since I had to ask for the drink that came with the kids meal that all in motion got shoved at me with a “sorry about that” and the window slamming shut. I can understand being busy and rushing, but this is every single time I go to this place.
