Restaurants in Wood River

“Great food. Had the All American burger. Nice and juicy. The bacon and onions were cooked just right.”

“The new menu is great, the food always delicious, and the service always excellent.

That said, I can only give 4 stars because they removed the pickle chicken wings. Those wings were genuinely some of the best wings I’ve ever had anywhere. Crispy, tangy, perfectly balanced! What an absolute tragedy to see them disappear from the menu.

Everything else was great, but I’ll be holding out hope for the triumphant return of the pickle wings. Bring them back and that fifth star is yours.

Updated: returning the fifth star bc of my love for this place. Still holding out hope for a daily special pickle wing”

“Grabbed some lunch today w my man daughter & best friend - amber was our waitress & was beyond amazing!! Literally deserves a raise. Drinks never went empty always was making sure we had what we need. My wings came out with bbq on them instead of on the side and she walked over quickly and told the food runner / other waitress that they were not right before they even got placed on the table! Will ask for her everytime we come in from now on!! ❤ We also ended up leaving my daughters favorite blues clues book behind that’s also a library book we’ve had to recheck out 85838 times that she ran outside to us as we was about to leave! 10000/10”

“This is the best Burger King in my area. Ashley N. always gets the order right. I have been going here for a couple years. I have never been parked waiting on an order. The sandwiches are hot and made to order every time. Keep up the good work everyone it’s amazing.”

“1-23-2025 @ 4:55 pm the employee with the tan beanie on actually read each line on the receipt and checked to make sure everything was there. I didn't have to ask her for the extra sauce cup that is stored separately from the hot food order!!
The only down side was the sauce cups seemed low. I would rather pay extra and have them filled at least 3/4 full. For now I'll just buy EXTRA EXTRA cups 😆”

“Jamie is a fantastic sandwich Brista !!! She gives the best service every time I come in ,she greats me with a warm welcoming and makes my sandwich to the t I pass all the other subways and come to this one just for Jamie !!”

“I know Hardee's in New Ulm MN has had some issues, but I went there today and was more than impressed! there were at least four people working there and they were so friendly and the food came really fast. it was fresh and hot and delicious! I can't wait to go there again, it looks like they have really pulled it together!”

“Had the pleasure of stopping in here the other day. Wonderful service and the cake is to DIE for! Thank you for blessing me! Highly recommend!”
