Our daughter is home from college, and she told us that’s the best burger she’s had in a long time. She had the bacon cheeseburger. Hubby had the double cheeseburger, it looked great too. He must’ve enjoyed it, he ate the whole thing! Glad we found this place, we will be back.“

“We haven't been to Red Robin in years. I am glad we stopped today. I was in the mood for a burger but I am not a fan of brioche buns and I asked the server if they had other options. They don't and she asked me why I didn't like and I told her I find it sweet. While we were deciding she took the time to have a bun toasted and brought it for me to try before I ordered. Who even does that? great customer service. THe burgers were very good. Cooked perfectly, and came out piping hot . Briana needs a raise“

“I recently had a great experience at Steak ’n Shake and felt it was worth sharing.

The atmosphere immediately stood out. It has that classic soda shop and diner feel, which is getting harder to find these days. It’s nostalgic without feeling outdated, and it made the whole visit more enjoyable.

The food delivered, especially the shakes. The orange Creamsicle shake was excellent and easily my favorite.

What really made the visit stand out, though, was the staff. Everyone was friendly, but Kate in particular elevated the experience. She brought energy and personality to the room, calling out orders with flair like, “Alright ladies and gentlemen, order number 169 for Jimmy!” It added a fun, almost theatrical element that the kids loved.

Beyond that, she was attentive and thoughtful, even bringing extra napkins without being asked. Small detail, but it shows awareness and care.

Kate clearly takes pride in what she does, and it shows. Steak ’n Shake did well hiring her. Employees like that make people want to come back.“

“It's a really nice place and it is classy too...“

“Super fast service for lunch! Tenderloin was yummy!!!“

“Okay as far as greasy IHOP food goes, this place was pretty good. I was amazed to see how modernized it was and on top of that, how clean it was. Food was good for what it is. Service was pretty on point, restrooms were clean ? and we found lots of free parking.

“I not only was going through a breakup but just really self sabotaging , I went to eat at IHOP and my whole day changed . My server was Nicki , The food was great , the atmosphere was comfortable & to make it Soo much better , Nicki really made me feel seen , She stopped and checked on me countless times to make sure I was okay . Her warm presence and welcoming attitude made me feel safe. Before I left she made sure I had a refill and was mentally okay ! I can't thank Nicki enough for her great service and conversation. Thank you .“

It's worth every dollar EVERY time!“

“After 7pm on a Monday night My Brother and I found ourselves starving After a day of being attentive to our Elder mother at Methodist Hospital. Dreading eating outing if the vending machine I googled food near me and Ted's sounded delicious. And it was. Chicago dogs, Massive tenderloin and Onion Rings later and we were completely satisfied. It's good food. I'd go back no problems. 8.2/10“

“Hands down my favorite bar. All the bartenders rock, the space is cozy, the drinks are actually reasonably priced, and they don’t skimp on the liquor. If it’s a busy night it can be HARD to find seating, but that’s most bars to be fair. Highly recommend“

“Went through the drive thru yesterday for lunch for my toddler. The line was crazy for drivers side so we went through passenger side and I let him pass the money out his own window and get his food. He loved it and the guy working the window was amazing with him! He had the biggest smile!“

“I’ve been a regular here for years until I moved to another city but I still work in Grimes and I got my co workers food today from here. The bartender was super nice on the phone and in person. When we got the food back to my office everything was perfect. The food was amazing. My boss who usually trashes anything I order if it isn’t something in his usual food places, well he absolutely loved it and said next time we ever get burgers that’s where we are going from this point on! Thanks again Uptown!“

“One of the only spots all of kids and all of the adults in our family agree on. It’s kid friendly, tons of menu options, food is consistently great, service is friendly.“
