What a nice little gem in actuality not very much around. They are inside a small little truckstop and they make delicious food. Breakfast is served from 6.30 (I guess) till 10 am and I came in 10.30 so I choose a lunch menu I had the bacon cheese egg burger. The staff is very friendly and helpful Everything is fresh from the plate and I choose a fresh little salad instead of French fries Would I come back here again?? Definitely if I am in the ahelpful

I absolutely LOVE their smash burgers and they are affordable. All fresh ingredients like mom’s house burgers, but way better. Anytime I take a client to the hospital for a procedure we like to stop in here for lunch since they are usually fasting. The staff are all so sweet and it’s always quick. Truck drivers, this is a real place to eat or get food to go that’s way better than fast food.

Shelley’s Smash Burger at Midwest Petroleum is an unexpected gem! The burger is perfectly crispy on the edges, juicy in the middle, and loaded with fresh toppings that taste straight off the grill.

Definitely worth the stop if you’re passing through

My husband had surgery at noon, which means we had not eaten since the evening before and once he was discharged, we decided to go to Shelly‘s Smashburger and have burgers and fries and oh my God it was amazing. As soon as I entered, I was greeted by the cashiers at the gas station. They were so friendly and I said I think I wanna get burgers and the guy stepped out from around the corner and he was like I’m your guy and then he made suggestions and we ended up getting The bacon and egg double and a jalapeño spicy Sriracha and both burgers were amazing. I told him my story and he introduced himself as Leonard the Cook and Tod Bless Lenard because he made my husband and I the best burgers and hot fries with the red hot Riplet seasoning shaken all over the fries. We live in Illinois so the

The signage says Dottie's Smash Burger, but you're in the right place. This is a hidden gem. The burgers here are always made by hand and fresh. The toppings are always real, like you can tell that someone prepared them right before they were put on the burger. They'll dress up your shoestring style french fries in a couple of different ways if you want. Hand dipped ice cream for dessert. Every person I've ever interacted with at the counter is friendly and hospitable as can be. There are a few tables to sit down and eat, but I get the impression that a lot of their business is to-go. I've only ever seen one person as server / cashier / cook, but the convenience store clerk comes over to help when necessary. Don't be put off by this place being inside a gas station, the burgers here are t
