I came based on the mix of reviews and what locals had to say in the nearby Family Dollar store. I was told about a few places and this was the closest food location to my motel.
The outside and inside are decorated in a way consistent of the overall theme I saw of businesses up and down the street. It's a good look. The young lady who took my order was friendly and helpful. She let me know my order would take about twenty minutes.
I made my order a "To Go" order, and while waiting at a makeshift bar area a nice lady prepared a glass of water for me. There was a gentleman behind the counter that I made small talk with, and he shared that the business has been open for about 5 years and that the building used to be a real estate office.
The place was cozy, and I saw it had some regulars. The staff seemed nice, but I did notice the owner passed by me several times, she didn’t make eye contact nor did she say a word. I figured that's the person who should be making an attempt to see how a customer is doing. No big deal... I've met and dealt with all types on my 48 state journeys.
I received my order and went back to my hotel.
In conclusion…
For twelve dollars, I've had far better burgers, but you have to evaluate the situation as a whole. I figured that the owner/staff has done reconnaissance of the other restaurants in town. You figure the food that they are serving is what they consider to be a satisfactory end product. It also goes to say that the price point is just what's needed to keep the business viable. So I shrugged off even trying to compare it to something that wasn't even in the same town.
If you are planning on stopping in Shamrock, give them a visit.
It was a good burger.
