“ This place has the best fries in the biggest portion when you order a hamburger combo. Everything always tastes fresh & is cooked right on point. Plus, they’re super fast even though the place is tiny with 2 drive-thru’s (only outdoor seating). Seems like all the guys there work well together totally in sync. One of Wilmington’s token spots to catch. ”
“ The food is good. Hate the drive there and the plaza it's in is by and large not my favorite. I don't like the drive through. BUT the food is GOOD. More than a solid burger joint. Happy with every meal I have had from here. ”
“ Best burgers in town plus the price is great !! They really for the people ”
“ It has changed over the years. The staff used to be extra special and friendly; now they're just trying to get over their day. But don't take it personal, they're not too bad. It's the food that has taken a dip... Now, as much as it pains me to say, they're mediocre, at best. The 1000 island sauce has changed, the service and quality have been suffering; but, sincerely, for the burger craving you have when you're nearby, it's really nice and not that bad. I guarantee that you have had way worse... Just keep in it real. ”
