“We pulled up and a young man came to our vehicle to take our order. He brought us a menu. Took our order and brought it out. He was very nice. We haven't eaten here in years, we had moved away. I would definitely recommend trying this place. They only except cash but have an atm inside, husband did have to go in to pay as we didn't have cash so he had to use atm.“

Yes, there were issues every once and a while but what restaurant doesn't. I've eaten there several different times while off the clock or just on one of my off days and my food was always hot and never came out wrong, it's not special treatment, it's good service and being caring and compassionate about one another. <3“

I do not recommend getting delivery through DoorDash GrubHub or any other delivery services. That is just my personal opinion though I don't like ordering for DoorDash or any delivery services because every time I receive my food it's cold not fresh or it's sat in the containers for too long so the steam made my food soggy or taste weird I prefer to go pick it up myself.“

“The quality of our local steak and shakes have significantly improved along with the staff. Much cleaner, tastes better, and even seems more filling than it used to. On top of that the new company policies like banning microwaves, beef tallow for their fried goods, and grass fed beef for the burgers. It went downhill a while ago but I can definitely say it has done a complete 360 and has honestly been one of our families favorite quick fast food locations now. Definitely better than McDonald's.“

“I recently visited the Applebee's in Marion, Illinois, and wanted to recognize an employee named Tom, who I believe works in the back of the restaurant. When I asked our waitress about him, she mentioned that he was the manager.

Tom went above and beyond during our visit. Not only did he personally bring our food out to our table both times when our waitress was busy, but he also took the time to greet us, check on how our meals were, and make sure we were having a good experience.

His friendly attitude, genuine kindness, and willingness to help did not go unnoticed. It's always refreshing to see someone who clearly cares about both the customers and the team around him. Tom helped make our visit enjoyable, and I wanted to make sure his excellent customer service was recognized.

Thank you, Tom, for making us feel welcome. We'll definitely be back!“

“Food has always been good in my experience. Can’t take partial payments though which is super inconvenient and very easy to do on most POS systems so either the girl didn’t know how and should be trained or they need some serious updates on the POS system. I have acquired so many gift cards throughout the years and every time I go to use them, the reader or whatever is apparently broken. So like just making money off of gift cards and then not being able to redeem them is kinda wild. Wait is far too long. Team member tonight was super friendly though!!“

“10 star for service and a kind soul**********. Today I went to this DQ to make an order that broke my heart. That being a pup cup but with added fudge. That sounds odd to most as it did for the drive thru worker. I believe she may have reached out to the manager and as I repeated the order, he said a child’s ice cream would be more for your money.. all I had to say was, it’s for my old pups last treat. Without hesitation or anymore questions, he said “I got you”, “I fully understand and have it taken care of”, needless to say, I start crying because I knew that he knew the heartbreak I was going through. He spoke such kind understanding words when I pulled up and even got my little Luckia a small serving of just fudge that she could lap up. I sadly didn’t catch his name but I wanted to reach out and tell him Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making my hard decisions a little less heartbreaking. I’d add a pics of her enjoying it but doesn’t allow the option.“

“I pulled into drive thru, was told it would be a 10 to 15 minute on a cheeseburger wait because they make everything fresh and there was already one car ahead of me. I said that would be fine and she seemed annoyed. I pulled ahead to wait after paying, sat for about 9 minutes. No big deal. Took the cheeseburger to my fiance for lunch break and they doused it in ketchup and mustard, threw a ridiculous amount of pickles on it, and got condiments all over the wrapper. Ketchup and mustard literally plopped off the wrapper in clumps. Not pictured: the ketchup and mustard on the top and bottom buns soaked almost all the way through the bun. Seems like they were annoyed I didn't leave rather than wait so they'd show me I guess? Anyways, fiancé didn't get to eat in lunch break and I called back to back 4 times and let the phone ring for over a minute each time. Very poor customer service.“

“Wendy’s in Marion, Illinois feels like one of those reliable road stops every traveler hopes to find 🍔🚛 Right off the highway, surrounded by the movement of America, it carries that comforting energy of a place where tired drivers, families, and late-night wanderers all cross paths 🌙🛣️ After long miles on the road, the lights of this spot feel like a signal to pause, recharge, and breathe for a moment ✨☕

The atmosphere has that classic Midwest steadiness — simple, welcoming, and dependable. Fresh food, quick service, and a place where you can reset before heading back into the journey 🍟🥤 Whether it’s a fast lunch or a midnight stop, it delivers exactly what the road demands.

Sometimes the best places aren’t fancy — they’re the ones waiting when you need them most. A solid stop with true highway spirit 🇺🇸🔥🚗“
