Spencer's Snack Bar Reviews
Always the best hidden gem for sure! We call it the bus stop but best burgers around nothing better don't let the mom and pop look fool you!
The absolute best bacon cheeseburger I've ever had! Chili is delicious.Friendly staff,
Some of the best burgers around! Always so friendly and their fries aren't half bad either.
Got a triple cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato, and chili. It was phenomenal. They don't carry unsweetened tea, only sweet so I couldn't have it cut, but the tea was good too. The fries are crinkle fries and do not have much flavor, and no salt. But I would definitely order from here again. The prices are phenomenal too as my whole order came to $8.75 with tax.
Visited Spencer's for a really early lunch on a Friday. We arrived around 10:30 and at first I couldn't tell if it was open. We drove past twice before parking at the Hardware store next door and walking over. The exterior is...weathered to be sure. But that's not gonna stop us! The order window opened quickly and a gentleman efficiently took our order. Cash only. We got two hot dogs, an order of onion rings, a cheeseburger and a tea (that was the only drink available on the day I visited). We hung out until our order was ready then took it and sat on the tailgate of my vehicle to eat. The grease from the chili had soaked through multiple layers of the wrapping. Always a good sign! I had to look at the hot dog for a couple seconds because the chili looked unusual. It was mostly (very) saucy with some bits of ground beef. I was skeptical but on first bite...it was delicious! Certainly not what I'd call chili if I'm being honest. It was like BBQ sauce and ketchup mixed together, heated up, with ground beef conservatively tossed in. But again, it was great. The onion rings were good. Hot when we got them with good crispy outside. The burger was really good too. Lived up to the hype. I'd definitely recommend folks make a stop at Spencer's if you're in the area. Ambiance isn't overly impressive but focus on the food and you'll have a great time.
