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.

    First time back in like 5 years because the previous staff was awful. But all the people they have in now are amazing and they know what they are doing. My waitress was Maggie and she was so sweet. I'm so happy to be able to come back to local gold start.

    While sitting in the restaurant before ordering food the manger was taking out loud to customers eating and bragging about firing employees and other issues, not something customers wants be to be hearing when they are about to order food in this atmosphere. To add on to this, 2 of the employees were on their phones and walked over to the bar top sitting and talking with someone while leaving only 1 other coworker working.

    If you're reading this, the Crittenden location is only 7 miles north and is absolutely worth the drive. Do yourself a favor and go there instead. I had a bad experience several months ago and stopped coming in here. I left a really bad review, but after talking to the owner I decided to delete it. Since then, I drive from Corinth PAST this restaurant to Crittenden, where they are ALWAYS FANTASTIC. Tonight I was nearby, and thought I'd give them another try. I ordered a burger meal and upgraded my fries with chili and cheese. I asked for the toppings to be packed separately so that the fries didn't get soggy on the way home. They didn't do that. So I called and a very nice girl answered the phone, took the information, and said she'd replace my bacon cheeseburger meal meal the next time I came through. Suddenly she said the manager wanted to talk to me and some guy said no, they wouldn't replace the meal, they would only replace the fries. He argued for a few minutes until I have up. They knew when I called which order was mine and that they'd screwed it up. This was just petty. The girl had it right before this clown screwed up a second chance by being petty. When I talked to the owner before, he seemed to truly understand customer service, but I'm not sure why his employees don't get it. Also, I didn't get his name so I called back several times and got no answer. Then I called back with a different number and the guy answered. Amazing. Zack was the guy's name, and I can't believe he was screening the calls. Pathetic. Keep the fries. I won't be back for them.
