Bumpers Drive-In of America — Restaurant in Smithville

We have been driving past here for years and we’re able to stop finally tonight. I thought it would be one of those can’t get everywhere good food. It was myself and my 3 kids, my son like the chicken fried sandwich. My daughter did not like the burger she said it didn’t taste like meat, my other daughter got the shrimp and liked it, I got the chicken tenders they tasted like old grease was used to cook them and were very dry. The French fries tasted like this same old grease and were so salty we had to wipe it off with the napkins to eat them. I also had onion rings that tasted the same and was just hard crunchy batter with little to no onion inside. Since getting home we have all had stomach issues. The milkshakes were good. The customer service was amazing, so friendly and she had a lot of patience as we were ordering and had questions from never being there before, just wish the food matched how good the customer service was, we would of been back for sure but can’t justify spending over $40 and not having good food to eat. Maybe this was an off day or they were at the end of needing to replace the grease either way though not...

I'll start off saying we tried this place over 10 years ago and had tried it again today... Back then I remember it being amazing... Not sure what happened today. We ordered our meal for 2 adults and 2 children around 3:30. Around 4:10 we got our meals. We were so close to leaving... And I wish we would have... It was almost $30, and our fries were old and tasted like they were kept under a heat lamp. My husband's burger didn't taste right and didn't have the add ons he asked/paid for... My fried chicken sandwich was ok but over cooked. Thankfully our children liked their meals.... The waitress was super nice but that's the only positive comment on this place. Sadly, we won't be...

We stopped in after a long day of fun at Center Hill Lake with friends. It was our first time to eat here. The service was excellent. The double cheeseburger meal I had was great! The burger was piping hot with melted cheese, it was juicy, it was also seasoned, and dressed properly! My wife had the chicken strip dinner which ses said tasted great and our daughter loved her cheeseburger kids meal! Their fries and onion rings were cooked crispy and seasoned great! We'll definitely be back when we go to the lake again coming from Murfreesboro! Keep doing things...
