Reviews

Got a banana split, this time there was actually banana involved but little to no toppings.
It was mostly melted by the time I drove home and I live 2 blocks away.
The boy at the window wouldn't even look at me to hand me my change back let alone respond when I said thank you.
What the hell? The atmosphere is great considering I took it home.

Love the burgers, fries and lemon cones.
It is clean and provides an option for indoor as well as outdoor dining.
I returned to explain that a phone was lost and it shows up on "Find my phone" at Krekel's.
Staff members had not found it, checked the table where we sat.
I left a message with the cashier, in case it is found.
Concerned that it is STILL showing that it is at Krekel's after I returned home.

This location seems to be a bit more expensive than the other locations but the Triple Cheese Burgers and Fries are a treat to reward yourself.
OMG....
Best Burgers in town.
Fresh! Juicy! Perfect Temperature! Definitely worth going back.
Great staff and management.
Plenty of seating and a nice environment to sit down and enjoy a meal.
