Hi-Lite (Seasonal) — Restaurant in Marengo Township

Not a good experience at all!!! Very unhappy with this trip. We wanted something fun and new for our kids. It was not here. Menu says they accept major credit cards and debit. We are asked if we have cash, our cards are sitting in the table, because we should pay with cash or else we get charged for using our cards. Immediately after we get our food we have the big hand held credit card reader pushed in front of our face to pay, no idea if we need anything else or if we want ice cream after. So the waitress doesn't come back to check on anything after we get our food, 3 adults and 2 children... so I notice I need more dipping sauce and a refill, I have to get up and get some ones attention inside. A different girl comes out, I ask for a refill and say I need some more ranch. So I'm told they charge for the ranch, and I form her we already had to pay our bill. 5 minutes later she comes back with my drink, says I'm not going to be charged for that but the ranch will be .50 cents. So now I have a basket of mushrooms and half basket of pickles with no sauce because I'm not going to use my card for .50 cents and whatever their charge is. So we left all the food that had...

So disappointed 😢... The best thing out of our 30$ dinner was the homemade root beer! I got a taco salad and it comes in a deep fried bowl, it was stale and hard definitely not made to order. Also they fill it up with lettuce 3/4 of the way, and only put shredded cheese and ground beef on top, the beef was cold and u have to pay extra for a little pack of sour cream and salsa... Very high priced and the meat didn't taste that good either! I also got deep fried mushrooms they should have cooked them a few more min. And they were little mushrooms and it cost 4.75 for 6 little mushrooms! And if u want ranch it cost more....! Our family will not be returning! We went there a few months before today and it wasn't that good but I tried to give them another chance and I will not waste my money ever again there! If u want my opinion go to the drive in in Bellevue, Mi. Alot cheaper and their food has been good...
