Reviews
The food itself was consistent with what you’d expect from Ye Ole Fashioned. Most items tasted just as good as they do at other locations, which is exactly what you want from a chain restaurant. The sides, desserts, and overall portions were solid and familiar, and everything arrived hot and fresh.
The only downside of the meal was the hamburgers. While they were still decent, they were a bit on the dry side compared to what we’ve had at other Ye Ole Fashioned restaurants. They weren’t bad enough to ruin the meal, but it was noticeable and worth mentioning. Everything else, though, was right on point and met expectations.
What really set this location apart was the overall experience. The fast service, friendly attitude, and attention to detail made it feel better run than most. Even with the slightly dry burgers, this Ye Ole Fashioned location is one we’d happily return to and recommend, especially if great service matters to you.
I ordered a cheeseburger with fries and got a scoop of ice cream after. The burger tasted fresh and simple in a good way — nothing fancy, just well-cooked and satisfying. Fries were hot and crispy, and the ice cream was definitely the highlight. Super creamy with a lot of flavor, and the portion was bigger than I expected.
Service was friendly and relaxed. It felt like the kind of place people have been going to for years, and the staff treated everyone like regulars. Food took a little time, but it didn’t feel like a problem since everything seemed made to order.
Only reason I’m not giving five stars is that it’s more of a casual, comfort-food spot than somewhere you go for a standout meal. Still, it’s really solid for what it is. I’d definitely come back, especially when I’m in the mood for a burger and some good ice cream.
I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich with fries, and while the portion was big (as always), the food came out a bit uneven. The chicken was cooked through but kind of dry, and the bun was a little soggy by the time it got to the table. The fries were warm but not exactly fresh‑out‑of‑the‑fryer hot, which was a letdown since that’s usually something they do well.
Service was polite but slower than I expected, especially considering the place wasn’t very busy. Nobody was rude, just a bit checked‑out. I had to flag someone down for a refill, which isn’t a huge deal, but it added to the “just okay” feeling of the visit.
The ice cream, though, was still solid. I grabbed a single scoop of butter pecan, and that part reminded me why people keep coming back. Creamy, flavorful, and definitely the highlight of the stop.
Overall, not a bad visit, just not a memorable one. It’s the kind of spot I’d return to if I was already in the area and craving ice cream, but I wouldn’t go out of my way for a full meal here.
The service was prompt and friendly, with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. I did notice all the employees were women, which was interesting! Overall, I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy a tasty meal and dessert. 5/5!
I placed a to-go order at 6:30 PM (18:30) and was told it would be ready in 15 minutes. When I arrived at 6:48 PM, my order hadn’t even been started, and I did not receive my food until 7:10 PM. I specifically call ahead to ensure my meal is ready for pickup on my way into work; because of this 25-minute delay, I was ultimately late for my shift.
When I brought this to the manager’s attention, I was disappointed by the response. There was no apology offered; instead, the manager simply over-explained the reasons for the delay without providing any reprise or resolution to the problem. As a regular customer who relies on your timing to stay on schedule, the lack of accountability was as frustrating as the wait itself. I hope this was a one-time lapse in both service and professional courtesy
