Krekel's West

Still the best burger in Central Illinois IMO. Also the lemon ice cream absolutely cannot be beat. Wash it all down with an old fashioned style cherry coke and you have a winning combination. Only reason I did not give five stars was because the service could use a bit of attention to detail. Wait staff seems a bit disorganized at times. I still would highly recommend this place to any family looking for a great meal at an affordable price!

Stopped in for a snack as it was late when we got to town. We were surprised and happy to see the long line at the drive thru at 9:30 at night. Always a great sign of great food when they are that busy at 9:30! Friendly service, shirt wait time and we tried the suggestions we found online: jumbo pork tenderloin sandwich, lemon ice cream and strawberry/chocolate ice cream. The sandwich was ok, just very dry :-( it needed more sauce or mayo. The lemon ice cream was AMAZING just as everyone had said online. The strawberry was really good but the chocolate was not very chocolaty. All in all it was really tasty and we will be back for lemon ice cream in the future!

Stop by to pick up something for a coworker with the line being so long I thought for sure the food must be off the chain so I ordered a single burger it reminded me of the commercial where is the beef because there was no three sheets of paper was the thickness. The Burger came wrapped in paper And wasn’t greasy but somehow the bottom of the bag was full of grease. I did however enjoy the thick onion that accommodated the burger but calls me to burp repeatedly throughout the afternoon. The coworker says I should’ve ordered the double as he did it and he enjoyed himself

If Krekel’s didn’t invent the smash burger then they are definitely the crew who made it the best. The options available in toppings, drinks, and sides make this an amazing option for anyone. The drive through line took forever, but I would happily wait the time again and again. I only wish there was one out west.

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.
