Best WLM Reviews

For what I can say as European, if you want to try the real American diner, you need to get out of the big cities!
Portions are huge and everything is really good, like home made.
I also loved the lemonade, of course if you want they give you a refill!
The staff is professional and nice, if you pass by I would strongly recommend this place and try the buckets!
This place is so laid back and really has a welcoming atmosphere. The staff is very friendly and the service is excellent. Affordable and great food as well. 10/10 highly recommend!
The great reviews brought us in from the highway for breakfast. Sitting at the counter we got fast friendly service and met a few locals. Food was great and so was the atmosphere. Ten bucks a person.
First time here. Small and quaint place. Seems like everyone knows everyone else.
Very tight parking lot. However there is street parking.
We walked in, there was no signage to tell us to seat ourselves (guess everyone knows that rule). However there was a waitress right there who would tell us to sit anywhere. Problem with that was that we had to wait for tables to be cleaned up. We eventually sit in the booth. The waitress takes our food and drink orders and brings the drinks back. We don't get silverware for a while so nothing to stir up the coffee with. Waitress takes a while to come back. We tried to get anybody's attention to no avail. 乁⁠(⁠ ⁠•⁠_⁠•⁠ ⁠)⁠ㄏ Food comes. The double cheeseburger is kind of a disappointment as it is more of a White Castle. For about $7 that is just a little bit much. My daughter didn't like the waffle either, said that it was doughy. Now for the service, she never came back to our table until we were done with the meals. We had to go up to the front and find her to get the check.
So: with all of that we probably won't be back.
Wife and I found this place as we were driving around Chillicothe. Stopped in for lunch and found that the food was excellent with a price that beat any fast-food chain restaurant. Service was just a little slow but with the crowd that was there it was perfectly understandable. Be sure to read about history of the restaurant at the bottom of menu. Really a neat place.
Won’t bother going here ever again! ???? and that’s a shame was one of my favorite places in town!! For 25 years…… rude very lacking service … waiter/cashier man very rude! And this place seems to think excessive excuses are the correct answer anymore rather than providing any kind of quality service! And most wonder why they get bad tips! If you’re reading this and are a server please treat people correctly and then you will get a tip!! Simple as that!!!!! No one wants to go for a meal and leave feeling like garbage for how they was treated!!!!! ????
Went there for lunch on 5-10-2024 with a friend. After retiring I moved back to my hometown Chillicothe, Ohio. Carl's always been a great place to eat. Boy oh boy NOT TODAY!!! Waited like what seemed forever for our food. Finally receiving our food our burgers were ice cold!!? W e sent them back. After sending our food back to be redone they came back a second time cold!!! By this time I was so frustrated and just asked for a box just to get out of there. I went up to pay my bill the young man asked me how my food was so I told him. After. I told him my experience he proceeded to go back to the kitchen to let the kitchen staff what I had experienced. About that time a short older gentlemen with black longer hair and beard swing out from the kitchen saying very loudly in front of customers who said their food was cold. I spoke up and said it was me. He proceeded to scold me in front of customers that he checked out food before it left the kitchen and it wasn't cold. I said it was so cold that the cheese wasn't even melted. As he continued to speak loudly stating they don't serve cold food. I told him here let me show you I have the burger here in my box. He grumbled no I don't want to see it The young man that was running the register said he wanted to see it. I opened the box and showed him that it was so cold the cheese wasn't melted. There was a lady that was sitting at the counter that looked at the burger was cold and the cheese wasn't even melted because it was cold. She said yes it's cold. The young man at the register said it doesn't look cold to me. I said here feel it it's cold!!! He declined. Thegentlemen with the black hair and beard was still saying very loudly in front of everyone we don't serve cold food. I asked who that gentlemen was and was told he was the owner. I couldn't believe he was the owner acting like he was. First of all Mr owner don't ever argue with a customer in front of other customers. All you had to do was talk to me like a professional and not like I'm some dog!! There was never an apology you just kept running your mouth not wanting to here that your food you served us was cold 2 times!! You are very unprofessional and rude!!!!! As I was leaving the waitress apologized to me for the way he treated me. I will never ever step foot back in that diner!!! NEVER!!!!! I will be sure to let everybody I know how I was treated and not to support your place of business!!!! You just lost a customer!!! I feel sorry for anybody that works there with that man!! You certainly are not a professional!!! Have a nice day!!!
The diner was awesome. I will definitely be going back the owner and his staff are incredible. Food is amazing.
