Krekel's Dairy Maid

Always great burgers and shakes! No indoor seating at this location but they do provide picnic tables under a cover. It’s usually busy so you may wait a few minutes but that’s because they are good! Love this place!

The food is always delicious here. My favorite item on the menu is the lemon shake. You must try it out it's refreshing all year long. They also have breaded tenderloins and they are delicious too. Or if you must get the chili and fries...... Either way I don't think you will be disappointed.

Krekels has never disappointed me,ever! I go to Wood st location,I tried tha location on rt 48 was very disappointed,tried tha one right down from lu lu' s , dissatisfied also,but Wood st u get 15 ⭐

My wife and I were on a road trip today and passed through Decatur. We stopped at Krekel's for lunch. I have heard that the store in Decatur is the original. The food was just as good as the food at the stores in Springfield and Pawnee. The young lady who took our order was very chipper and friendly.

I have been going to Krekels my entire life and I have to say if you want the best burger in town or that warm cup of chili on a cold day Krekels Dairy Maid is the place to go. Also I have to say the lemon I cream is to die for.

I have driven past this place plenty of times, it was late and I was hungry. I decided to stop and give it a try....WOW, the burgers were delicious...

The burgers are amazing. The strawberry lemon twist cones are a delight. Best ice cream in town my opinion.

I like that they moved it into a newer location. They are able to seat larger groups now. The food is always good.

This is the best one in town. I'm not sure why the food experience is different at all the locations but this one is the best in Decatur.

Always hits the spot when craving a great burger. Lemon cone is always yummy, especially with extra sprinkles, as well as their root beer floats. Drive-through is almost always packed (RT48 & Forsyth locations), but they are on top of always keeping it flowing fairly quickly. I have zero problems waiting my turn to order, knowing I'm going to get a great meal at a decent price. I've never had my order mixed up or prepared wrong in all the years I've dined here.

Love, love, love!! My bank card had been hacked prior to us stopping so it declined and one of the employees (The manager maybe?!) Paid for our food!! This was my first time there ever and it was AMAZING!!! Food was perfect 🥰

They're hamburgers are the best around.... Always fresh and hot and always served with great service

Always love visiting here from out of town. Ice cream is amazing and the burgers are hand pressed to a satisfying crispiness.

My go to stop on the way down to Arthur, IL. Best food around.

The food here was excellent! Not high end by any means but it was all fresh and hot and above all tasted great. We got burgers, fries and ice cream cones. The ice cream held up to the heat and the strawberry lemon twist was refreshing on such a hot day. On top of all that the service was great. They worked efficiently to take orders out of the two little windows.

Vintage greasy burgers the way mother nature intended. And lgbtq friendly taboot! I love this place!

First time eating here. Visiting from out of town. Very awesome! We had the lemon ice cream for dessert! I knew when I saw a railroad worker walk away with a tall yellow ice cream cone that it had to be good! Burgers are great two! I recommend a double.

Excelent food for the prices made fresh right infront of you

Burgers are of the thin, smashburger style. Cheese curds are fantastic. Just some picnic tables under shade if you want to "eat in." Krekel's is excellent at what they do - fast, made to order burgers, sides, and ice cream.

It is a long time favorite of mine, I've been coming here since I was little, to get ice cream cones with sprinkles to watch fireworks almost 55 years. Lemon shakes are awesome and they have new vanilla cokes... yummy!!! And the burgers are fantastic, everything is great here.
