Hwy 55 Burgers Shakes & Fries

Worst restaurant I have been in a while. Extremely dirty. Restrooms absolutely repulsive. Service slow, unattentive wait staff– couldn’t even get our drink order correct. Watched wait staff pick items up off the floor then handle our food. Completely disorganized. Just an absolute mess and the poorest service I’ve had at a restaurant in a long time.

Not good at all, when describing your 4 dollar cheaper burger, probably not a good idea to compare it to a McDonald’s burger. Burger was extremely salty and inferior meat. Bacon seemed like it was deep fryed yesterday, it was completely dried out, no flavor and for the 2 dollars they charged could’ve been subtitled for Bacos imitation bacon bits. The roll fell apart after two bites and the overall appearance when it was brought to my table was that a blind monkey put the toppings on it. Don’t order it with tomatoes unless you enjoy super thick and under ripe. Not thrilled at all. If I’m going to spend 15 bucks on a burger fries and drink, I’ll take my business somewhere else. Also the wa

Nothing fancy but good — I’m not on a diet– I want something fried — I don’t care about calories food. I don’t care for their icecream it’s too thick as sweet for my tastes. They have some of the best hotdogs in charlotte with real chilli.yumm. The lemonade and orange aid are fresh squeezed and can be addictive!

I came here on a trip to Charlotte. I ordered a hot dog as well as the shake of the month, which was pumpkin pie. The hot dog was ok, it was not overly cheap tasting like many other places are. It was definitely tasty enough to choose not have a few toppings on it. Very nice. The shake on the other hand, was amazing. Probably the best pumpkin shake I ever had.
In addition to the good food. The service was also fantastic. The woman who rang me up took her time to make suggestions of the best items to get, and she was right on each count. In addition to that, she also had a lot to say about the great spots in the area.
Great place, well priced food, and delicious shakes. I would definitely hit up this place for lunch if you are near one.

This was nice little burger joint! The management was super friendly and very sweet to my son. My triple cheese burger was greasy but in the most enjoyable way. The wait staff was young and not very experienced but were still courtesy. I enjoyed my experience and the burger ess good

Every time I come to this location I have a problem. I called about 9:25pm to place a to go order and was told they stop taking to go orders at 9:30pm so I couldn’t place an order. When I got there I ordered a shrimp burger & chili cheese fries. I checked my order before I left to find that my chili cheese fries were just cheese fries.
The time before that me & my sister ate in. It took our waitress forever to greet us and take our drink orders that I ended up going to the counter to let someone know.
The time before that I placed a to go order. When I got home my fries were soggy.
I’m tired of giving them chance after chance to keep messing up, so from now on I’ll be going to Hwy 55 Harrisburg.

Most amazing grilled cheese sandwich and banana milkshake EVER!!! Staff is so friendly!!! Love it!!! First time here but definitely not the last! :-)

The pimento cheese burger was delicious. The children loved the cars their food arrived in. To top it off the strawberry cheesecake custard was wonderful. The atmosphere is spot on.

First time visiting. Food was good. We ordered chicken philly, tenders basket, kids grilled cheese. Place was kinda gross, needs some deep cleaning. Ordered shakes, not impressed.

Food is okay but the place is extremely slllooooowwwww and we were 1 of 3 tables. Also, service was not good. Waitress was very snappy and didn’t have patience for someone new to the restaurant. Not possible to enjoy a lunch with even two burger orders. Won’t be back.

Good food and fast service. Seemed very clean and the staff was friendly. It didn’t knock my socks off but was tasty still and great for a road trip meal.

Arguably one of the worst restaurants I’ve been to. The staff was nice enough but the atmosphere is the most lifeless, soulless attempt at a 50’s diner. I got a BBQ burger and to say it was average would set the bar low. It came with the most generic, tasteless fries I’ve seen. To finish off my meal i got a vanilla custard with hot fudge, this was the only highlight, not great but not too bad either. With so many other better burger spots around the area at similar prices, you’d have to be nuts to go here.

Burger was delicious. The trimmings were all fresh and the size of the burger was perfect.
The fries sucked. They were so plain and bland. Also the place could use a good all over wipe down and mopping. Although I understand the theme of the restaurant is to be diner style the overall appeal of the restaurant was lacking.
So because of the burger I gave them 3 stars.

Soooo, though this is not the reason why I Unilocal, it was a nice surprise that I got a message from the owner of HWY55 to offer me a second visit with my family to try them again and re-​review. He let me know that they had more systems in place and got their general act together. We were glad for the opportunity cause I, believe it or not, don’t like writing bad reviews!
We got to the restaurant at dinner time (5ish). I approached the fellow who seemed to be in charge and indeed I was correct. It is a weird moment when you have to approach restaurant manager and introduce yourself as the guy who gave them a crappy write-​up and are there for your free meal. He was endlessly cordial and friendly about it, making sure to mention that without folks talking straight in reviews, that they couldn’t improve. I admired that attitude so things started out pretty well.
So the first thing I noticed was that, service-​wise, they were understaffed for the time of day. The young lady that was waiting tables was very pleasant though and handled the stress with dignity and a smile. At the end of our meal there were more servers, so there may have been late arrivals or cal-​outs. It could have been a bad situation but it seemed to be handled well enough. On the funny side, I don’t know if the manager told her why we were there, but while taking our order she seemed a little nervous, though pleasant, and forgot to take my order after the rest of my family. No issues and she giggled when I mentioned it.
The food was definitely better this time though, again, did not blow my mind. We tried to order as close to the last time as possible to the original visit to get a generally true comparison. My wife got the pimento cheese sandwich which, again, was tasty but lacking the generous-​ness of cheese portion spoken of on the menu. Still really good pimento cheese for real! My pimiento cheese burger was of proper size and was tasty. I got the chili cheese fries which were okey doke but fairly pedestrian. I make some pretty good chili but absolutely appreciate other chili, this was just run of the mill. My daughters kid-​burger was cooked properly and she got all over it. The most telling moment of the meal was that my son (food critic or epic pain in the butt, I’m not always sure which) said this time that he wouldn’t mind heading back some day. After his first reaction this was a big plus for the restaurant.
So, overall, a much better visit. Why, then, V-​Dub, did you only give one more star then before? Well, person asking the question, I take my 4 star reviews pretty seriously. If I drop a 4 star, then it’s a destination eatery. If there were and opportunity to give a half star rating then I would go that direction. HWY 55 is a proximity restaurant. If we are in the area and need some burger and fry action, we will stop in and get some grub. It does not come up in the conversation when deciding where to drive to for dinner. This is in no way a bad review. The fact that we will go back speaks volumes for this particular joint. The owner owned the problems and invited us back. The manager was very accommodating and the server was peasant despite being in the weeds. Consider this a 3.5 star rating. Worth a shot especially now that they seem to have systems in place.
Note to owner: Need sugar caddies for those who drink unsweetened tea. They are pretty cheap and a nicer touch than the first waitress who brought my wife sugar in a coffee cup and the most recent time packs of equal (or something similar) dropped on the table (though nicely dropped on the table :))

3 stars for the food, 2 stars for the price. This location is near the Walmart on N. Tryon. $ 5.99 for a hamburger — not a combo, just the sandwich. Add $ 2 for fries and a drink (Pepsi products). It’s waited, so add $ 1 — $ 2 per person for tip; plus tax, and it’s pushing $ 10. The food was fine, the staff were nice; the prices were a little steep for the ambiance, I think.
I had an oreo shake, which was tasty. They have «concretes» — frozen custard.

Delicious food at very reasonable prices. Great for this college area of town. MILKSHAKES are so good!
