“Great burgers, awesome service, and good prices.“

“This place is the real deal. You want a great burger, this is the place! This is my new go to. TK (the owner) told us the seasoning is his mommas, what could be better-nothing!“

“10/10 Good Vibes. The Cable Club Podcast stopped in for a bite and a milkshake after a Minecraft Themed Birthday! Simon Belmont definitely cracked a whip, and have you tried the cheese sauce? They've got our stamp of approval. Come for the burgers... leave with a shake.“

“What an incredible place. Everything is made by hand or made fresh! The fried fish and shrimp is lightly battered so it’s not greasy and very palatable. The slaw is made in house as well as fresh greens are cut prepared daily. The banana pudding is out of this world.Maddie was an amazing server. Did an excellent job explaining our questions about the menu when you stop by ask for Maddie.“

“First time eating at SmashCity and it was ALL good. Great service and great food. The spicy smash burger had just enough heat but not too much. Great crispness to the edges of the burgers. I really enjoyed the overall flavor. The fries were just right - crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.“

“Best breakfast, friendly staff!!“

“First time,definitely will not be our last! Fantastic place.“

“the burgers were the best I HV ever had. keep up the good work.“

“Delicious. I've never eaten at a Freddy's before and this was a great introduction. Burger was yummy and packed with flavor. Cheese Curds were buttery and delicious. Tater tots, seasoned and crispy. Chicken tenders, seasoned well and juicy. Custard Sundae was soooo good and smooth.“

“We needed a burger and a quick old fashioned! This place was packed and they still turned out our food and drinks fast! The well whiskey was good too. I should have gotten the whiskey flight! Buffalo trace , welled reserve, Blanton’s, and to finish it off with some Taylor! Man, that sounded like a great choice! This is place is on my Must revisit!“

“Outstanding meal! It was my first visit to this restaurant and it was a great experience and great food. The girl at the cash register was very polite and professional. So you order your food and they give you a number on a stand which you place on the seating of your choice. Five minutes later two young ladies brought our orders to our table and came back multiple times to check and see if we needed anything else. Five stars are definitely in order for this restaurant.“

“If you’re in the market for a great dog, fast(like lightning, quick like a kitty cat) and friendly service, and a nice clean table to sit at for a meal…look no further!

Everything on the menu looks delicious, and nothing I’ve tried has let me down yet! The covered wagon is always a safe bet, but if you’re feeling adventurous grab yourself a Ruben dog and thank me later!“

“This is my favorite Aubrey’s location. The bartenders and servers care about the customers and you can tell they care about each other too! The music and ambience is always so good— nothing better than listening to some country music, enjoying a great meal, and being surrounded by good people!“

“When I tell you this was some of the best food I have had in a long time, I am not kidding! 😊 The Smokey Burger was fantastic and huge! The bacon was perfectly crispy. I am not usually a crispy bacon fan, but their bacon changed my mind. 😍 The onion rings were perfectly crisp and the batter was neither too sweet or too salty. It was a perfect balance. It is definitely a family friendly place with great service. I highly recommend! 😊“

We have been to several Mexican restaurants around town and this is our go to because of the consistent quality and service.“

“Waiters And waitresses are the best. Annie was our waitress and she was awesome .there is a new manager who was not very visible or engaging. Not impressed with her“

“ITS FABULOUS!!!!!! Lots of options and NO guilt. I highly recommend“

“Just to let people know... pets are not allowed inside... only at outdoor sidewalk seating. Also... everywhere we looked said to park under the expressway and walk up.... don't do that. 100s of homeless people and pretty sketchy. There is pay street parking. They need to add this info to their FB page and website. Overall place was just ok.“

“Every time I come in there is a gentleman working that is in a wheel chair. He is always working delivering great service with a smile. Let that be a lesson to everyone especially the lazy people that dont want to work. This guy is out here not letting anyone get him down. Great job.“

“Gus's Good Times Deli got me and my friends through college 2006-2010!! The BEST steamed sandwiches to warm your soul and transport you back to the good ol days! Nothing hits like a Gus's steamed Sammie and their shoestring fries 🤤🤤“

“Quick Service No Waiting Both Girls Were Friendly Smiling And Helpful Excellent Customer Service All Of our Food And Drink Items Were Very Good“

“It’s really good 😌 I would go to this place if I was you“

“Our server, Isaac, was amazing and truly made our dining experience enjoyable. He was incredibly proactive, he let us know an order came out wrong before even bringing it to the table and assured us he was already fixing it. That level of attention really stood out.

He was also very accommodating, which made a big difference dining with a rambunctious three-year-old. Despite us ordering a lot of mixed drinks for the table, everything came out quickly and smoothly. we never felt like we were waiting.

At one point, we thought we had lost our card, and Isaac went out of his way to help my husband look for it. We ended up finding it in our car, but his willingness to help made a stressful moment much easier.

There were several moments where our experience could have gone wrong, but thanks to Isaac’s attentiveness and proactive approach, everything went seamlessly. We really appreciated it and will definitely be back!“

“I love their house made syrups. It is my favorite place to get a latte and have some alone time or meet up for business.“

“Just Had Harbys On Tuesday Under The New Ownership And It Was Absolutely Delicious! And Staff Was Very Friendly! We had The Harbys Salad And Meat Lovers/Veggie Pizza And Both Was Very Fresh and The Pizza Was The Best I’ve Had In This Area! Would Definitely Recommend!“

“We got a table immediately and got our drinks right away. The appetizer came pretty quickly too. My burger was fine but my boyfriends steak came out too done and it took about 10 to 15 minutes before the new plate came out. The manager brought the new steak out and took $10 off. It wasn't terrible but it's not a place we're going on date night again any time soon.“

“Food is OK but still good overall. Staff is nice but honestly sometimes when I've gone, I'm given the vibe that they don't really want to be there. This is also a smaller DQ than most others I've been too and it feels a bit sterile inside.“

“I absolutely adore this place and make it a point to attend every event I can! There's always something special happening that keeps me coming back for more.“

“Fries were great, especially when dipped in ranch! We ordered two different burgers McGhee Tyson, which was huge, and the Farragut. Both burgers were very good and filling. We also got fried green tomatoes which I won't get again. Tomatoes were $10 for about 5 slices of a small tomato which didn't have much flavor and they came with a pimento cheese that definitely did not match well with the tomatoes. Would have matched better with a seasoned sauce much like a roasted honey mustard or honey BBQ. We ordered Fried Green Tomatoes before we ordered our Burgers but the tomatoes didn't come out until after the burgers came. By that time we really didn't have much use for the tomatoes anymore. Not an appetizer if it comes after the entree. We have only gone there once. Maybe it was a fluke we will visit again.“

“I absolutely love this place I got thru on the daily out of convince because I work across the street I get the same order almost everyday and it's always hot and fresh.. the 2 girls that work the window are as nice as they could possibly be would recommend to anyone“

“Food was absolutely delicious and fresh, also. I can’t say enough about the service! Kenyon was so kind he even walked me out with my order because he saw my hands were full. Truly kind. Shout out to John the manager as he has this place running top notch! thank you guys for everything. Also, the prices are the best around!“
