***12/3/2024 UPDATE AT BOTTOM***
What in the world has happened to this place? My husband and I went tonight, 11/10/24 around 6:30, and the parking lot was empty except one car that was parked on the side towards the back. We thought they may have been closed when we pulled in but noticed a customer standing at the counter when we drove around to the drive thru. We sat at the speaker for several minutes before we were acknowledged and the girl taking our order apparently wasn’t aware she had her headset on and we could hear her having a conversation with other people. She finally asked us what we wanted and we ordered a chicken cheesesteak all the way meal with tots and a Philly cheesesteak all the way with tots. I also asked for a cookie dough concrete and she said they were out of cookie dough so I asked for a Reese’s and she said they were also out of them but she had Snickers. I declined and she told me to pull around. We sat at the window several minutes and the girl opened the window and asked us what we ordered. We told her and we waited about 8 minutes and she came back and asked us again. At this point I was shocked and thought well maybe she is by herself and having to do everything. No, I realized later when we parked and ate that there were 5 employees total that I could see, that were “working” weird zero customers in there. Anyway, back to the window, another girl comes to the window with a bag and said “Y’all had the online order right”. I told her no and she asked us what we had. At this point I was thinking this has got to be a joke. She handed us a bag and I could hear music playing behind her with the window open. As I was pulling away I could see several girls dancing. We parked and opened our boxes to the most ridiculous cheesesteaks I have ever seen from this place. I had chicken and husband had Philly. His was AWFUL. The beef was super thin and crispy and a few were so burnt they were crunchy! He barely had any cheese or onions and peppers that we could see, plus it wasn’t even full. My chicken was just ok and not chopped like it normally is and I think I found a couple of peppers and onions on mine. Tater tots tasted like oil. The best thing was our sweet tea. $26 spent on trash. We were so unhappy we went to Burger King and ordered a burger. We have ate at Hwy 55 several times since they opened the new location and it had NEVER been like this. The place seems to be run by teenagers. What is going on and where are the adults? We will not be going back until this place gets fixed.

Michael, the manager/owner, reached out to us privately and apologized for the experience we had and refunded our meal for that night. He also offered to compensate our entire meal when we decided to go back, which was tonight. He chatted with us briefly and apologized again and said he would make sure our meal was made fresh and correctly. We ordered the same thing and it was MUCH better and looked and tasted exactly the way it is supposed to! He also gave us a card for a free Concrete Shake, since we were unable to get one the last time. So glad there is a manager there now that cares about a customers experience! Michael is wonderful and Hwy 55 deserves to be given another chance now that he has taken over! Also added pics of our food tonight!

The food was the perfect combination of comfort and home. We couldn’t have asked for better service. Our waitress, Haley, was extremely friendly, helpful, and personable. I don’t have enough words to express how well the service was!

We went for dinner. Tables were dirty. Staff was behind counter standing around. Ordered milkshakes and waitress apologized for them being messy. The cups were awful…needed to wipe them off or put in new cups before serving. Ordered chocolate shakes but were not stirred enough to even be a shake. Really just vanilla ice cream in a cup.

Disappointed, especially for a $60 meal. They’re not kidding about the “lil” cheesesteak. It’s the size of a large meatball. My wife isn’t picky and she said that she wants her money back. Kiddo liked the burger & float. Onion rings are meh, and they didn’t give us the sauce we ordered. Fries are battered or something. Everything was soggy by the time we got home (2-minute drive). Will not be back

Took a hour to get food after ordering online. Got to the window and was told they didn’t have meat to make one sandwich or any tea. Got home after finally getting food to cold burgers, fries, and the order of onion rings we received only had 5-6 maybe rings in it. Place needs some serious help. I do not recommend!

I’ll start with positive first, my burger was really good. The fries, onion rings and tater tots were horrible. They were cold, and dark brown like they were cooked yesterday in old oil. Philly cheese steak was cooked in that same old oil and tasted terrible. They’re chilli is good. This was my first ever Hwy 55 experience.

Just want to say the best ever service and now especially since it is summer they have characters!! Td was spider man idk who was spidey but let me tell you between my waitress and spidey and making my son comfortable it was the best thing ever!!! My 2 year old was obsessed at first he wanted nothing to do with spidey but after him and spidey spent time they were inseparable! In fact I was so happy I told my sis in law to go! Can’t wait to see bluey!

Waited in the drive through for 20 minutes only to pay $10 to receive the tiniest handful of cold, soggy fries. This place is a huge let down compared to the previous location.

Went to the drive thru and ordered. Line was 3 cars deep and was taking a good bit of time, thought maybe it was a difficult order but it just never got faster. Got to the window and sat there for 10minutes and no one came to the window at all. Not to take payment, not to say what the delay was. We ended up just leaving because it was ridiculous. Would not consider it fast food, and they definitely need to hire more staff if they can’t operate at a decent pace.

Really disappointed with this place! We haven’t been in since they opened and decided to try it today. The first red flag should have been an empty parking lot. The floors were dirty, the food was bad. My burger was so soggy and the meat was burnt. The hotdogs my husband got were shriveled and dehydrated looking. The fries were rubber and so were the onion rings. We couldn’t eat it. We noticed while waiting forever that custard machine was a total overflowing mess. The server was okay? (We did tip her, but wasn’t paying for the bad food). We never complain at places and definitely get up and leave. Hopefully management can figure out how to fix their issues, however; we wont be back!
