Snack Shack Drive-Inn — Restaurant in Town of Manning

A solid 2 star establishment. From the attitude of the person taking our order, to the undercooked burgers, to the decent fries and gravy, I wouldn’t go back.

The burgers can be ordered in various sizes, but there is no explanation as to what that means. An extra patty? A larger patty? We found out by ordering a small and a medium that there is one patty on a small and two patties on a medium.

Toppings are extra, which makes sense as the prices for the burgers seem reasonable. Lettuce, cheese, tomato, or mushrooms are 85 cents each. 1.35 for ham or bacon.

The prices seem reasonable until you actually get the food. That was the saddest excuse for a burger I’ve had in a long time. I’m pretty sure it was boiled. The pickles were limp, the cheese bland, and the onions unappetizing.

The fries were your standard fare, and the gravy surprisingly delicious (you can also order it by the quart, should you so choose).

The onion rings were overpriced. They tasted good, but it was $5.10 for maybe 12-14 rings.

We were there over the lunch hour on a weekday during the summer and there was a steady flow of foot and vehicle traffic.

The tables were clean, they have a patio, and the bathroom was dated,...

Was terrible. We arrived at the drive thru at 7.00pm last night. We ordered 2 cheeseburgers 1 conair with dipping sauce which is supposed to be included. 1 clubhouse sandwich just the sandwich. 3 piece chicken dinner and asked I don't like fries onion rings or potato salad. May I have a side salad. No. Ok then just give me the 3 pieces of chicken. No ok you sell buckets of chicken why can't we buy 3 pieces of chicken. Your sign says 2.89 1 piece of chicken so times it x 3. We gave up send fine with chicken dinner give us onion rings. At 7.25PM we knocked on the window and said we have to be at hospital for 7.30 my spouse said I'll have to come back. He came back when we arrived home at 10.00pm the bill was just short of 50.00 no clubhouse and the chicken was cooked so many times I'm sure you couldn't swallow it it was so dry. He picked up his clubhouse...

I wrote this in hopes of change because it would be wonderful for us and family to have this place going better for when we are traveling to enjoy the day .

In 2 years the experience has consistently been that this could be a thriving business, enriching the lives of travellers and locals.

This being also the opinion of all we know who have gone there. It could be a great opportunity for new owners.

I believe this shop could be far busier and wealthy when adding value to the community and tourists through positive service that actually gives you at the least, worth what you paid for.

However the management seem to have drank deeply from the well of being cheap to get ahead. Instead it seems to not only shrink the business but also steal the joy from those that run it.

Hopes for a...
