The ice cream was excellent and big portion! The cheeseburgeršŸ” was great tasting but very thin piece of meat left me wondering "Where's the beef?" Lol The only downside was the seating area. The picnic tables were all the way across a large blacktop parking lot . You'd better be eating your cone on the walk across or half of it will be melted by the time you sit down. šŸ¦šŸØ

Krekel’s has multiple locations in Decatur, but this is my favorite. I grew up in Decatur and now live in Florida, but whenever I am back in town I always head to this stand for old times sake. The burgers are tasty and the fries are crispy. I am all for nostalgia and crackles hits the spot!

Greetings. We usually don't have an issue with Kreckels. Today the burger tasted bland. No seasoning, falling apart and a tiny bit of ketchup. I'm glad we asked for ketchup for our fries, but we put on our burgers and didn't have any for our fries

It was my first visit to Krekel's, so I was a little slow and clumsy with my order. It was just after 11am, so they weren't busy yet. Anyway, I didn't see a soft drink menu, so I asked the nice gentleman, who was taking my order, what do you have? He mentioned having several Coke products. Then, my son asked if they had Coke Zero, and he said yes. Problem solved. The lady cashier, next to him, said that 'we don't have time to hold your hand, the drink menu is over there'. I'm not sure if that comment was intended for her co-worker or us!! In any event, we felt a little humiliated. At least she didn't say 'No soup for you'!!... No big deal, she seemed to know all of the regular's names, and she was an excellent worker bee. Overall, my order taker was friendly, and the...

First off, this is the ONLY Krekel's I will go to. The other Krekel's here in Decatur are pretty lousy with the exception of the one in Forsyth. All of the workers and owner are EXTREMELY fast and go the extra step to get your food right out. The food here never disappoints and since I don't goto Wendy's, McD's, Hardees or BK, for me, it's either here or Culvers. Also, to the (tourist) who left this location a bad review, you reviewed the WRONG location. The location you meant is the one on Hwy 36 and while your review was not incorrect about that location, your chosen location is incorrect and you may want to remove it. (4.69) stars out of 750+ reviews says a lot about a place....

The angry cook had no gloves on and make matters worse he throw me together a soggy .sloppy raw bacon double cheeseburger GROSS never again would I go there! I appreciate the lady at the end explaining the glove situation!! But it didn’t fix the fact THAT horrible cook gave me a raw bacon sloppy double cheeseburger! If I felt like being rude I would take it back but kill them with kindness and NEVER RETURN! The Health Department needs to close that 1 down...
