We stopped by during a road trip and it turned out to be such a great choice! 🚗✨ The food was absolutely delicious and really hit the spot after being on the road for hours. Everything tasted fresh and satisfying!
We asked if we could swap in fried mushrooms as a substitute, and at first they explained that it wasn’t possible since it was considered a side item. We totally understood and didn’t think much of it. But then, to our surprise, they went ahead and gave us the mushrooms anyway! 🍄🙌 That little gesture honestly made our day.
The team was incredibly friendly and fun—we were joking around and laughing together in the drive-thru, which made the whole experience even better 😄💬. It’s always awesome when customer service feels genuine and upbeat.
And the Mushroom & Swiss with gravy? Absolutely excellent! 🤤👌 So flavorful and perfectly done. Big thank you to the staff for the great food and the even better vibes! We truly appreciated it! 💛

The hamburger was dry as a bone, including the meat, and the bacon was hard like it had been sitting all day. It did not taste good at all.

Used to be a great spot for a burger. I’m not sure why they changed it…maybe the new owners? The rebel was my favorite local fast food burger, but the last few times I’ve been there it was not seasoned. Like no salt and pepper at all. I don’t understand why places do this - just season your food! It tastes so much better. Fries and ranch are still pretty good though.
