I really wanted to love this place because it came so highly recommended by friends and locals, but unfortunately it just missed the mark for me. The burger was definitely the highlight since it had good flavor and was cooked well, but the rest of the food left me disappointed. The fries did not have much seasoning, and both the onion rings and fried pickles tasted undercooked, like they had only spent a few seconds in the fryer. Instead of the crispy crunch I was expecting, they came out tasting mostly of flour and oil.The booths were on the small side, which made it feel cramped for our group, and the bathroom could have used some attention when we visited. None of these issues are deal breakers on their own, but when added together the experience felt less enjoyable than I had hoped.To be fair, the burger and the chicken strips were solid, and they are the reason I did not give this a 1 star review. I think there is potential here, and maybe we just caught them on an off day, but based on this visit I cannot say I would be in a hurry to come back

I have a major bone to pick with Babe's. Apparently if you get a combo you can't get the free kids meal. Which is ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS and not posted ANYWHERE! I wasn't told this at the time that I paid. If I had known, I would have ordered differently, maybe not have gotten fries, or ordered water to drink. Times are tough, so every penny counts. I'm super disappointed, not just because our kid can't eat for free if I order a combo, but also because Babe's does not address this anywhere. We probably won't be back just on that principle. Don't deceive your customers it's bad business.

Be sure to tip the cooks here, they really get down when it comes to putting together anything on the menu. Patio to hang out and a couple of arcade games for for the kids. Been coming here for years from time to time and I can tell you, this place never disappoints no matter the time of day.

Highly recommended. 2nd time here. Place doesn't disappoint. Some of our order was missing, but the staff gladly and readily fixed it. Food is absolutely delicious. Hot and fresh. They do have limited combos. Reasonable prices. Cute atmosphere. We had chicken tenders, French fries, onion rings, mozzarella sticks, cheeseburgers, and hamburgers. Do bring your appetite for those chicken tenders.

Babe's Old Fashioned food= awesome Hamburgers, Battered and made to order Chicken Tenders, 😋 Hand battered onion rings fresh cut fries! Covered Outdoor seating Beer, Sodas. Casual dining. The also have delicious fresh salads and desserts! I usually I have the double meat cheeseburger which starts at 9.99 what's the latest pickle onion tomatoes. The 1/2&1/2 Onion rings and French Fry basket for $5.99 is a great deal and delicious! You owe yourself a visit and once you've tasted their food I'm sure you'll want to go back 😉!! 😋😋

Babes Old Fashioned Hamburgers absolutely blew me away! From the moment I walked in, the service was top notch. The lady who took my order was so incredibly kind and welcoming—it felt like I was being taken care of by family. You just don’t get that kind of service everywhere anymore.
And the cooks? They were beyond friendly and honestly hilarious. You could tell they genuinely enjoy what they do, and it made the whole vibe of the place so much better.
Now let’s talk about the food… the wings. Oh my god, the wings. Hands down the best wings I’ve ever had—crispy, full of flavor, cooked perfectly. I’ve had wings at a lot of places, but Babes just set the new standard for me.
I’ll definitely be back. Amazing people, amazing food—what more could you ask for?
