Great small-town fast food place with a lot of variety on the menu. Great icecream treats

Can Seriously throw down on the whole menu. Outstanding service and thanks to the owners for keeping staff throughout tough times. I love this place.Just one problem. When I was a kid the foot long hot dog was one weiner and now it is two 6 inch hot dogs. Maybe tape them together or use a toothpick to connect them.Just saying with a smile ?

Wow this place was disappointing. We online ordered 2 burgers plus a basket of fries, the fries didnt come with sauce so we had to pay extra for it- weird. The order plus a 20% tip came out to $40, which we thought was steep for how small the burger patties were and how little fries were included. Not only was it that pricey, but when we picked it up they said we were mischarged and made us pay MORE?? No idea what we were mischarged for… weird situation. Food wasnt even that good.

The food is great but way to overpriced a small combo for a double cheeseburger was almost 20 bucks.

Two stars might be a bit harsh.The good: Workers are typically friendly and their ice cream is above average.The bad: Prices are really getting out of hand. Food is getting smaller while prices just go up. I get it, inflation sucks. But I shouldn't have to pay over $10 for a bacon cheeseburger deluxe that didn't come with the SINGLE pickle. It came with about 10 shreds of lettuce and ONE tomato slice; two slices of bacon, a burger patty, a slice of American cheese and two buns. How is that $10? Their Philly Cheese steak sandwich is also paltry.. as big as an Apple TV remote control. Their ice cream is also very expensive for what you are getting.I hate having to give poor reviews to an establishment that has been around but the consensus is when it switched owners prices have gone up and quality has gone down. I think most people who have been going here upwards of ten years will agree with me. I remember when you could get a burger for around $6-7. $10 is highway robbery for what you are getting.Sad to say I probably will never eat here again unless they change.Barb and Ed's is where I will be getting my burgers from now on.

Was very disappointed in my order, and I will not be back. Got a cheeseburger with mayo and ketchup only...clearly said I wanted everything on it...got a double cheeseburger with lettuce, mayo, ketchup..only...again no regard to the"everything" we ordered on the burger. The entire bag of onion rings were burned and without a single complete "Ring". They were more like, fingers. Whatever. I no longer recommend DK.

The burgers get smaller and the prices go up every time I come in. It's one of the most expensive burger joints around. The shakes are great, but they too will surprise you when you find out the total. Nickel and dimming for tartar sauce is the added cherry on top!

Awesome place , they have a bit of everything and it's delicious ??. Very clean and relaxing ?, ideal for families with small kids and the waitresses are worth the tip. I was impressed that they handled a group of mentally challenged folk well with no fuss at all. Very enjoyable place to eat. Loved it ??Kid-friendliness: Had an outside area that the kids who were there enjoyed, very well shadedWheelchair accessibility: The wheelchair bound seemed to have no problem getting in and out

Been eating here for years. Honestly overall not a bad place to eat. Biggest complaints I have is the wait times can be pretty long in the drive through, and there prices are a little high and always have been. And sadly only getting worse just like everything else in 2023

Great burgers . Service was the worst today. 9/14/23. I ordered ahead to save time. I sat for 20 minutes waiting got up and had to ask for my order. I got the sorry and cold food. I hope this gets better. I also got a single patty bacon burger. I ordered a double ?

I love the nostalgia of this place! Service is great and good music playing. Always fairly busy as they have a spectacular menu. I had the Patty Melt! Finally, on rye NOT sourdough. They cut it in half and wrapped both sides individually for easy eating. It was perfectly made and very very tasty! We also decided to get a butterscotch milk shake to go and just savored it all the way home, so delicious!

We stopped here on Labor Day. It was clean inside and outside, great customer service, and good food. We had the Mother Burger, Bacon Deluxe, and Fries. I thought the Mother Burger lacked the ham. The ham was there, but it was a super thin deli ham slice. Hardly noticeable that it had ham in it. Other than that, the burgers and fries came out hot, with cold veggies. They don’t just serve burgers and fries. There’s also pizza, sandwiches, and ice cream. This was our first time, so we’ll be back to try the rest.

The food was hot and meat was fresh and tasty. I had a mushroom burger and my husband had the mother burger. We shared the perfectly made fries.
