I had heard things about Pop's pastrami. All good. And it was true. But the burger we had them put the pastrami on was a while 'nother story! They have a drive-thru, and outdoor seating, but we decided to sit inside so we could shoot a video review without all the traffic noise from Niles. This place has been here a long time, and the building is old school, but very clean. The menu is extensive, with chicken sandwiches, corn dogs, chicken tenders, and all sorts of ice cream concoctions. But what caught my eye was the sign on the door, about customizing your burger with extra patties and all. And the idea hit me. In In n Out speak, a five by five. A burger, with five patties, and five slices of cheese. But this one would also have pastrami! The lovely young ladies behind the counter, the ones with wonderful smiles and personalities, said they could do it! We got it as a combo, and of course, only bought one for the two of us to spilt, since I KNEW we couldn't eat it all. The combo came with fries, and I couldn't believe the HUGE portion of fries. Seasoned crinkle fries, cooked just right for crispy outside, perfect inside. But I wanted to see how their onion rings were, because that IS important. And yes, they were very good. Not that diced and reconstituted stuff, like the "King" of burgers. Ranch dressing on the side,... very good. And they have a large variety of sauces you can get. Now, the burger. Lordy, it was huge! Five patties. They were kinda like a smash burger, with the crunchy caramelized crisp around the edges, but not quite as thin in the middle as a real smash burger. And good beefy flavor. Did I mention FIVE? Cheese on each one, and pastrami on the top. But not just any pastrami. Sweet, juicy, fatty, tasty goodness. I got to go back and get a pastrami sandwich, with the mustard, pickles, and all that. It is some GOOD pastrami. Now, the service. Oh, yes. Wonderful. From the inside counter, you can see the whole kitchen. Looked nice and clean. Two guys at the flat-top, smiling and gettin' it done! And two young ladies working the counter were just amazing. Making sure we got the burger we were looking for, and all with the best personality and genuine smiles we've seen recently. They really make you feel welcome. On the way out, looking again at the menu, the shakes caught my eye. I asked the young lady if they had malt. First off, a lot of young folks don't even know what malt is. Not only did she know, she said yes! So we ordered a large peanut butter malt for the road. Thick, rich, great flavor, yeah. Hard to get any through the straw kind of thick. They do things right here. Stop by when you get a chance!

Double cheeseburger was made extremely well. Great portion. The crispy chicken salad was amazing. Chicken was crunchy and crispy get juicy and full of flavor. When in the area, will most definitely come back!

I ordered a grilled cheese, fried burrito and a strawberry cheesecake chiller. I was charged .50 extra for the chiller from what price was advertised and also. 50 extra for using my credit card tap pay. I don't like being overcharged for hidden costs so I dis bring this up to management. Walmart has a lawsuit over this. It may not seem like much but add up all the customers and it does add up. I was not ok with that. The grilled cheese was good ? nice simple old fashioned grilled cheese. The burrito and chiller will definitely pass on next time! The staff was friendly.

I love pops especially the jumbo fries. It's not the same quality of food as the original owners of pops but it's good. I love the biscuits and gray too.

This is my dad's favorite burger joint. The Pop's burger has bacon and avocado on it. It's huge and sharable. They also have surprisingly good rice for a burger place.Parking: The drive through is a little small, I recommend ordering outside if it's busy.
