5 months agoDid drive through, photos of dining room look like typical fast food joint. The burgers are very good, fries were good, onion rings overcooked.

9 months agoHooter burger was delicious and so were the fries. And topped it off with lemon ice cream cone with googly eyes . If you are in east central Illinois, this is a must stop.

9 months agoFood was great. I'd never been here before, and the person at the counter was very helpful while I was ordering. It was around 2:30 when I stopped in, and to my surprise it was pretty busy: that's gotta tell you something about this place. I just had a burger and fries. I filled up my soda cup, and as soon as I sat down, my food was ready. Will definitely stop by again next time I'm in the area.

10 months agoThis is not the Burger King you are thinking of! This Burger King actually predates the existence of the chain restaurant Burger King in Illinois. There is an interesting story regarding a name dispute between the owners of this restaurant and the corporate Burger King. After learning of the dispute from a YouTube video, I knew that I had to visit while I was in town! What I love is how it feels like a step back in time; I actually felt like I was in the 50’s or 60’s when I was in this restaurant. Now mind you, it is well kept up and clean. I got the Hooter burger (named after the original owners) as a meal with fries and a milkshake, and let me tell you, that meal blew the corporate Burger King out of the water in every metric! Everything was fresh, the portions were generous, and it was all very reasonably priced. When you come here, you feel like you’re back in the good ol’ days! I highly recommend you check this place out!

10 months agoVisited the original Burger King in Mattoon, IL and had a great experience overall. The crispy chicken sandwich was delicious—crispy, fresh, and flavorful. The ice cream cone was excellent and hit the spot. Fries were a bit under-seasoned for my taste, but still decent. Loved the nostalgic atmosphere and the comfortable seating made it a pleasant place to enjoy a quick meal!

Edited a year agoIt's definitely better than the chain Burger King. The fries are probably the best I've had at any fast food place (even better than McDonald's). The cheeseburgers and chicken tenders are also pretty good. You should also try a Glacier, which is kind of like a Blizzard. My favorite flavor is cookie dough. The inside of the building looks nice. Their gift cards are good Christmas/Birthday presents. I'm not sure if they always have this deal or if it's just during Christmas season, but you can get $6 gift cards for $5. I got a few of them myself. Good deal!
