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.

    Always cold. They charge for extra/juicy coneys but some of the driest coneys ever come out of the "kitchen." Slow service and food is weak. I want cheese coneys(they have chili on em) not a cheezy hotdog!! Step up GS!

    TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM THE “MANAGER” Richard Jules! He started to take our order in the middle of taking our order he told us to “hold on.” We waited 10-15 minutes at the speaker he never came back. It was 1 car at the window 5 cars in the drive through. We called out multiple times to get our order took he never said anything back to us. We drove up to the window where he kept dodging us until we blew the horn to get his attention. He took the car order that was behind us while we still waited at the window for him to come assist us. Richard finally came to the window and we asked “can he take our order because we had already been waiting order 20 minutes”. Richard proceeded to say “ I told y'all to wait, I was going to take your order” but yet took other people orders behind us after we made it know we had been waiting. He took our order but then Got rude with us called us ignorant, told his staff to not make our order, & asked for our card back to “refund” us when we questioned him about the definition of ignorant. Not only that closed the window on us as we are communicating with him about the whole situation just trying to get our food. He laughing with his employees talking to them about the situation. Giving us our food just to drop it into my hand almost dropping the food just for the chili to waste in the bag. I have full videos of everything and as being a fast food manager once before I know how fast food management works & y'all definitely got the wrong person being a MANAGER at this Mt.healthy location!
