WOW! I love a great cheeseburger & this one did not disappoint! Hot, Fresh, & Flavorful from the very first delicious bite! Finished with an order of batter-dipped type fries.....my tummy couldn't be happier!
We have been frequent visitors to Cracken's Grill. Love there fried tenderloin and patty melt. Just tried their new Mushroom Swiss Burger and it is the best! Hope it gets added to the regular menu as it might be my go-to for quite a while!!
Food was delicious especially the fries a crunchy exterior and fluffy inside. The chicken strips were very good and the ranch is that good good ranch. I have also had a burger from here before and that is AMAZING as well. GO GET YOU SUM!
Very nice staff! My hot fudge marshmallow shake was amazing! The tenderloin is really good! Definitely lots of choices! You can just get ice cream!!
