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.

    This team did so great handling the insane Christmas rush. They had cars in line a half mile up the road and were still so kind, got all of our order correct, and we got fresh food. They are doing great here.

    Just had some delish chili cheese fries at this location. What I really liked was the atmosphere, the servers seemed to know everyone and spent time chatting with their regulars. There are some seats that are worn and need replacing, but the booth was clean and the service was great.

    The service was ok but not very friendly. The portion size was noticeable smaller on the 3 way than other stores. When I questioned about the portion size I was told , "if you dont like it, oh well".
