Smittys Burger Barn

Has that old diner feel. The double burger with the works is delicious. The crinkle fries were cooked just right. ( I like them on the crunchy side). People were great. It was under 25 bucks for two doubles with fries and two glass bottles of ski.

Oh my, SO yummy!! And really great service, too, even though it suddenly got super busy!

If you want a cheeseburger that taste home cooked go here and the crinkled fries are the best ! Forgot to snap a pic till it was almost gone lol but it was good

I tried this place recently, and nobody in southern Illinois has burgers that taste as good as Smitty's. If me or anyone in my family is craving a burger from somewhere other than home. I know exactly where I'm going!

The worker at the window was very kind too. I'll definitely be coming back!

I arrived early enough the restaraunt wasn't busy yet. I was greeted warmly and the employee was very friendly. My order arrived quickly and was fresh and hot. I stuck with the basics: Single Smash Cheeseburger and onion rings. The burger was good--thin patty, melted cheese and fresh veggies, but the onion rings left room for improvement. They were bland and greasy. I would definitely order a burger again, but I would try something else alongside it.

The building has had a bit of a face-lift inside with some paint and new tables with super comfy, extra-padding chairs. No more squishing into those uncomfortable booths! One dining room had a sign marking it "The Family Room" and was filled with family snapshots. Browsing the snapshots was a nice distraction while I waited for my food. The opposite side of the building's sign was "The Tiger Cage" and I could see old photographs of kids' sports teams.

Overall a good experience here: good food, friendly people and a nice building. I will be back!
