★★★★★ 5.0 Carrie Maxwell · Dec 2025

Cruiser's is a drive through burger, chicken & fish place. Fries, cheese curds onion rings etc. The food is made fresh while you wait and it only takes a few minutes to get your order. My fries were so fresh I had to let them cool before I could even eat them. Food is SOOOO DELICIOUS!!! If you're ever in the area, this is a Definite MUST stop to eat!!! Oh and the portions are also very generous! I wasn't able to eat my whole meal. Even with my 3 pups helping me.

If you like the idea of crinkle cut fries and a lot of them. This is the place to go and get the "Turbo" size fries. Great food and great prices. Onion rings... They have them. Deep fried button mushrooms they had them. Burgers. Go for it. Hotdogs.. bring it on. Brats too. Spring, summer and fall sitting outside with cooperation from the weather. Fantastic.

Decided to stop here during our long drive. Burgers were so good! Not greasy and so tasty. Customer service was 10/10. Hate this is so far from me and will definitely stop again some day.

I travel through Effingham every few weeks and when I am craving a fish sandwich this is the place to stop! I travel across 3 states and this is the best fish sandwich in this part of the country. Nice large piece of fish (not the well known puny little square fish!) and more fish than bun! It is fried nice and crispy and delicious! I see people complain about their "limp" fries, but I love them. I don't care for crunchy fries. Their combo is only a few dollars more than the puny square combo, but no comparison - Cruiser's wins!

I thought I would try them out. Got there two minutes before closing. They were good about serving me and also the car behind me. Prices and service were great. The food was great too!!
