Hires is a family favorite of ours. Great food and the sweetest staff. It can get a bit noisy in there when it's busy. Totally worth it, though.

Hires has been a staple of the community here since 1959 and the food is every bit as good as you would think it would be. It's also quite cool on the inside because there's an up and down that you're not quite expecting. They use an old car hop system which is kind of funny cuz some cars can't turn off their headlights but you need to have your headlights on to be ready to order but if you can't turn your headlights off then they think you're ready and you're not ready. The root beer float is absolutely amazing, I kid you not It has like 5 inches of ice cream on top of the cold mug. Not sure how to take out ones are made but I know the dining ones are made like that. And they're famous big age burger is famous for a reason. There are other locations but none come close to this one which is kind of sad you would hope that I'll be the same but they're not.

Holy crap. Came here with my daughter for lunch before taking her to the U and left hungry and poor. She got two chicken tenders,fries and a drink and I got a turkey sandwich combo. $44 later and won’t be coming back anytime soon. Portions were tiny too and had to wait a while for a refill on my $5 soda 🙃

I came to Hires Big H hungry and left... still hungry and $18 poorer. For that price, I thought I was ordering a deluxe burger combo with a side of stock options. Instead, I got a burger that looked like it was made for a toddler on a diet. I’ve seen sliders with more confidence.
As for the ketchup situation, WOW. I asked for extra and you’d think I requested access to a bank safe. The waitress handed me a single, world's smallest sample like it was part of her personal rations during the apocalypse. I’ve seen people be more generous with their Netflix passwords. I ended up rationing it across my fries like I was playing some sad condiment version of “Survivor.”
Shocked by the expense! My family of 3 went back to Hires after 15 years. We were disappointed by the loud interior, but delighted by the delicious food. Sadly the entire experience was tainted when the check came and we paid over $80 for 3 people to eat. I miss the days when Hires was affordable for a family.

Lots of locals. Great burger shop. Best chicken tenders. Gluten free grilled cheese -- yum.

Extremely poor experience on all sides of the house.
Food itself is nothing to write home about. Cheeseburger looks as though it was slapped together, had little to no flavor, and was drowned in ketchup. The root beer, which seems to be this locations’s claim to fame, was extremely weak. It’s more akin to soda water with a couple drops of syrup.
Came with a few of the mates and the waitress repeatedly got our orders wrong. Never got the waters we asked for, couple of meals were missing fries, some got onion rings instead of fries, and my burger didn’t come with mustard like the menu advertised.
The prices are outrageous for the quality of the food and service our group received. Charging $8 for my sad cheeseburger ought to be a crime, as it’s nothing short of highway robbery.
If you’re in the mood for a burger and fries, you’re better off going to another place that’s half the price but twice the food and twice the flavor.
