Customer Reviews
Fantastic service. Generous portions. Have yet to find anything I don't like. Actually plan my trips to this area around their hours, it's literally worth the 4 hour drive! Update: stopped back in. Quality is back front and center! Highly recommend. Perogies are fantastic, ice cream is back to being smooth and creamy and delicious. It does seem (could be wrong) that their sizes have shrunk though. The large milkshakes seem... Smaller?
So, this place is basically my namesake! Drove about 1.5 hours out of the way to take pictures and to partake of some glorious Spangenberg family cooking. Despite all of this I really wanted to like this place. I really did. There was only 1 guy ahead of us that ordered a single cheesesteak. We ordered 4 burgers and onion rings and fries. After 48 minutes of waiting we finally got our food and it was absolutely despicable. The burger was plain. And I mean PLAIN! No mayo. No ketchup. No mustard. No nothing. A bun and a slice of beef. That’s it. $6.50 for a cold piece of slop. Why the long wait? There certainly wasn’t any rush? This could have been served in 5 minutes. Those frozen White Castle sliders from Walmart would have microwaved 4 times faster and taste better that what I was served.
This used to be one of my favorite spots. I was so excited for it to reopen. Our experience was horrible. I ordered food for there and also a 20 piece chx to go. For those of you who used to love their fried chicken, it is NOT even close to the same (as they claimed on the Fb page). I didn't get my side with that or my other 2 meals and they forgot the cheese for my cheese fries. Not to mention I waited an hour for 2 sandwiches and some chicken tenders. They mention how it's not "fast food" but over and hour for their food? Really? I, myself, ordered a dried out grilled chx sandwich that was overcooked and had nothing on it. Honestly, the food nor service was good. We waited too long we decided to forego the 20+ minute wait for ice cream.
Ordered a chicken bacon ranch cheesesteak and chicken tenders on a roll is what I received. I have ordered these here before and it was an actual chicken cheesesteak with shredded meat. When we called back to see what happened, the girl said they were out of chicken cheesesteak and this is what we got. No apologies, no offers to make anything right. I'm really not sure why we weren't told on the phone when placing the order or even told about the huge change when the order was picked up. I easily could have chosen a different item on the menu. Also had a mishap had in the summer where our order slip was put in the wrong place and after over 45 minutes of waiting and kindle asking for an update, we were told what happened.
That young blonde girl in the kitchen kept staring me down. The people at the window were very kind other than the fact that that blonde girl handed out my food and basically might as well threw it at me. I went to get ice cream after I ate my meal, and this boy that worked there was standing there and twirling his rag for at least 5 minutes before noticing I was there. He never even turned around just sent someone else to get me. The other workers were amazing! My food came out quickly and they were so kind! It was delicious!
