“This is a great place! The 5 star rating they have acquired is based on facts! This is a military friendly restaurant that is inviting and flexible. My husband and I went there yesterday after researching where to get the best burgers. This was the only place that had a 5 star rating so we had to go. We were warmly greeted upon arrival and it was very clean inside. We were able to place an order to go so my husband ordered the burger with everything on it and fries. I was able to order off menu a plain burger with 1 tomato slice. My order may seem simple enough however I have been to countless restaurants that never pay attention to what I ask for. They will always put something extra that I have to try and wipe off like mayonnaise. The GeezBurger Chef made my burger exactly as I asked and it was so delicious I can’t express. My husband loved his burger as well. Also the fries are phenomenal. I have never had fries like this. It was almost like the fries had its own special coating. We were able to speak with a wonderful military veteran couple that told us they have been coming for a long time and love it. I highly recommend GeezBurgers - it is outstanding!“

“I picked up lunch here for the fam. Mom passed away on the 9th. We were all at her house going through her things and everyone was hungry. I wanted to buy local food instead of going to a big chain and Cafe 72 was close by, so Cafe 72 it was.
I called the order in for pickup and the voice on the other end was so polite and helpful. Not to mention it was a big order and we got everything we asked for.
The bacon cheeseburgers are big and delicious! May, lettuce, tomato ,bacon and cheese of course. The buns are heated on the grill which, to me, sets the whole burger off. We ordered three of those. My wife, my nieces boyfriend and I ordered them.
The crispitos are big and packed with beef. My little sister and brother-in-law ordered those. We asked for a side of cheese and sour cream and we got it.
My niece got the BLT with a side of mayo and her little boy got the kids corndog meal. He ate it up, too ?
The atmosphere was welcoming and as I looked around the dining room I saw some veterans sitting around eating, which I loved seeing. It gave me the feeling that this place is appreciative, thankful and respectful of our great country's veterans.
Cafe 72 has great food y'all. I didn't get any pictures this time, sorry. Go by and eat there. From looking at the online menu they have a lot of great food to choose from.
This order came out to around $47...to feed 7 people! You will not go to the big chain restaurants and feed that many people with such a small bill. I was amazed at this and I am so glad we chose Cafe 72 for lunch that day.“

“Excellent place for Breakfast! Please note at the times we have visited, they were very short staffed. However ... our wait was minimal and overall service of the staff was GREAT! The staff works really well together, covering whatever area needs to be covered and backing each up other up. It was pleasant to see such teamwork. The food was tasty every time and they always fix me a coffee "to go". Great place to eat and great price. But most of all ... FANTASTIC STAFF! Special shout out to Sandra!“

“Went to Wendy’s tonight around 9pm. I ordered a #9. Simple as could be. You would think? I got my order and the burger seemed small to be a the Bourbon Bacon Burger. I checked it and it was pathetic. I have never had anything negative to say about Wendy’s, but tonight was not a great experience. The burger didn’t have all of the ingredients on it and it only had one tiny piece of bacon. It was literally a patty, a slice of cheese, and a tiny piece of bacon. The bun was hard around the edges as if it had been sitting under a warmer all day. I circled back around to return the food, but I had already been sitting in the drive thru for what seemed like an hour to order anyway. I was tired and hungry and ready to go home. I tried calling the store to voice my disappointment but I didn’t get an answer. So I am resorting to an online review. I don’t typically make complaints on food orders, but to pay $10 for a burger that was beyond pathetic was very disappointing and then I didn’t even get a receipt for my order either so I have no proof of my order. I’m sorry to say It was a very pitiful experience. I ended up going to a different restaurant to order a meal.“
