i couldn't reach by phone order, and the inside is closed, so your only choice is drive-thru. it took me 20 mins to wait in line, but it was lunch hour rush, and food is that good. It's totally worth the wait. It tastes good even cold after sitting in the fridge over nite. Very good food, can't wait to go agian. They have a wide variety of sandwiches and sides to choose from, and each one is more delicious then the last one. Just dont try to count calories if u want to eat here. This is one of my top favorite places to get fried fast food..yuuuummmmm.

Drove 2 1/2 hours from Omaha today, mainly because the Grinders are so ridiculously delicious!! But, I love everything I've ever eaten here. The Pork Tenderloin, the Onion Rings, the Hot Ham & Cheese... I could go on, but I won't. Keep it up, Mr Bibbs!!

I absolutely love this place. One of my first stops coming in from Texas. Best Onion rings. Grinders and Tenderloins. You have to try this place! Order ahead to save waiting in a long line.
