"Food is great, milkshakes even better, wait staff is perfect. I can't ask for any changes because everything is amazing"

- Daniel B.

"Great little old school drive-in style experience with fresh burgers and soft serve dessert treats. We had a shake, a dipped cone, a banana split, and a couple of corn dogs. Can't wait to go back for burgers! Servers were great and super fast. Lovely little spot."

- Cecilia

"You want the best sloppy burger of your dreams for a good price? They got it! You want a damn good milkshake that won't break the bank? They got it! Fried mushrooms and onion rings that are juicy and Crunchy? They got that too! Amazing place. If it ever closes down I might cry. This place is the perfect place for date night or family dinner together"

- David C.

"My kids really liked this place. It has a fun drive in feel with picnic benches out front. The burgers were made with real meat (not that fake patty style) and were very reasonably priced at $3.25. They come with lettuce, tomato and onion as standard. I ordered onion rings which were $3 for 5. This seemed a little steep compared to the burger, but they were delicious and made with real onions. We also had the chocolate dipped cones, which were amazing! The lady who served us was so friendly and the food was quick but clearly cooked to order. We were actually visiting to occupy the kids while our car was fixed at Allen's Garage just up the road, but it was a gem of a find!"

- Charlotte D.

"Very good service. Always enjoy the atmosphere! It feels like an old time drive in. We got milk shakes and splits! Everything was good. Even though they can get busy, they always get your order to you quick."

- Niome M.

"All the waitresses are so friendly and work hard to take your order and get your food out fast. There Milkshakes are the best in several counties! The atmosphere is like an old school drive up burger place where the put the food tray on your window."

- Shannon A.

"Been to Powell's a few times. Overall it ain't bad...the other reviews are right about the waitresses, shakes, etc. It's a good place. There are only two problems: 1. Because you're outside, the weather has a big influence on what kind of time you'll have there. When it's too hot or cold, you won't want to sit at the picnic-style tables even though they're shaded. Pity the waitresses walking to & fro with food. 2. Right next door is a thrift store. Apparently it's run by a local church...on certain afternoons they ruin the dining experience with the sermon in their back lot--which is attached to Powell's parking lot. If you are there, you'll be unable to avoid hearing an incoherent, tent revival-style tirade about "JEEEZUS KRAAST"....really kills the vibe. Again, pity the poor waitresses subjected to that sonic assault."
