Hamburger King

We are so glad we stopped , we were showing homes & got hungry and this was close and open! The food was great , especially the fat steak fries

This place really is the hamburger king. After having one of these burgers, there is no comparison to other fast food burgers, except for Carl's Jr burger is far better than all the other fast food burgers. If you want to eat like a king, you got to do the hamburger king!!!

Love love love it! The food. The ambiance. The friendliness. Just the best old time burger place. You MUST go here.

We like to find local businesses when we travel, their food was good and so much fun ordering by phone at the booth!

Nice old fashioned hamburgers. Simple but good.Several people order the chicken fry , I noticed.Service is really good. Our waitress was really pretty and nice. They all seemed clean and nice. Some smaller towns have questionable workers. I watched as they sprayed and cleaned tables. Floor could use a sweep but I bet they had been busy for a Saturday.I ordered a single burger with grilled onions. So mustard, lettuce, tomato, pickles is the norm. You can add bacon.The grilled onions are little chopped ones , ok, but I like the long stringy ones browned.Lettuce is chopped also.The basket comes with like potato slices. Really good.Husband ordered a double patty one with onion rings. All tasted good.Just don't pass up pie!We shared coconut! Yum!We passed on the pumpkin or pecan, because my understanding they don't make those.Chocolate and banana has a strange name and think it's the favorite.One more detail is the Dr Pepper is so good there. I know sounds funny but some places the syrup is weak.Love to try the chili or other things on menu too.A thank you to the workers of the Burger King.

This is a really cool old place! As of now the restaurant is 95 years old! Everything looks pretty original. You order from the phone on the wall which is just so cool! Great burgers and fries!

First off, I looove the small town charm and old-time character of this place. And the people here are great. These alone are worth the trip.Classic double cheeseburger is pretty good -- not great, just pretty good. This burger is wide. Patties are thin, preformed, seared on their giant griddle which imparts some flavor, but they need more s&p. And while not exactly dry, they aren't juicy either. The American cheese is plentiful and melty. Complimentary grilled diced onions were few but made an impact, so be sure to request them. But iceberg lettuce was in giant clumps that wanna fall off. And tomato a ways from garden fresh. Bun smashed down and held together nicely for the entire meal. Total was $10 along with some below average fries (their famous potato wedges are gone due to supply chain issues). I didn't add bacon since it's kinda pricey right now. Service is great here -- fast, helpful and friendly. The kiddos had a blast phoning in our order. We were surprised how many patrons were already dining early evening on a Saturday. Sign says they often get a line out the door. But is it a line-out-the-door quality burger? Hmm, that's debatable. There are other options on the menu that the locals in the know were eating, like $3.50 slices of delicious looking pie (banana cream loooaded with banana slices!)I'm sure glad to see places like this are not just surviving but seem to be thriving. Here's hoping for another 100 years!

The atmosphere is what we were looking for expecting something of a blast from the past. It's a quaint hamburger diner in downtown. The staff was great and the ordering process was unique. We had potato wedges; they were terrific. The entree was a "kicker" burger. Bacon, lettuce, tomato, dill pickles, mustard, jalapeños, and pepper jack cheese. The downside: they should upgrade their all beef patties. I'm not sure who the supplier is but they aren't great. The burger as a whole is very good.

Pull up to the counter or a booth and use the phone to place your order - handmade and delicious! Cheeseburger and fries were spot on, and the service was quick and friendly. While there, check out the walls and the giant pic of Bob Wills!

Visited here on 6/26/24 for a late lunch. Our family has been coming to eat here for over a decade. Quaint little place to eat, nothing fancy here but the food & service are both good. You place your order on the phone at your table & they bring your food out shortly. The ham sandwich basket which came with potato wedges are good. The day my sister & I ate lunch, we split the chocolate pie which was really good & more than enough for 2 people to share. If you're in Shawnee, stop in for a visit & don't forget to bring the kids/grandkids so they too can see how to order on an old fashioned telephone at the table :)
