About the Business
It all started with William Krekel in 1949 and our signature sandwich .. the Krekel Burger. Our burgers, paired with our handmade shakes and fries are a combination not to be matched elsewhere. Today, thousands gather at any of the seven Krekel's locations in Central Illinois for burgers fries and shakes reminiscent of years past, a simpler time. Fresh never frozen, ground beef smashed onto a sizzling hot griddle; hand made shakes in 16 flavors, chili made daily with our own special meat and piping hot fries are the staples that have made Krekel's a Central Illinois tradition. Enjoying great food without a long wait doesn't mean your meal has to be cooked before you order it. From sandwiches to sundaes, Krekel's makes your food to order. Our family friendly prices make it worth the short wait.

9839999Jun 28, 2024Based on my coworker's recommendation, I stopped by and had one of the tastiest double hamburger's I've ever had. The fries were also delicious. I can't believe I ordered another one to go. LOL!

Great lunch take-out spot. The hamburger is the standout here. It's a smashed patty with crispy edges. I recommend the double patty.
The fries were fine- just nothing special. Of course, an ice cold Coke tops off any lunch!Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0 - Jul 25, 2023
Great custard and loved the lemon with strawberry swirl! The small serving size should really be a medium. It's so big!
This place has been around for a long time and it's clear the locals are loyal to it. The service is quick even when it's busy.
Whether you sit inside or outside, the custard is good and so is the people watching. I'd definitely return again and next time try some burgers too.

Casey P.Springfield, IL02Apr 13, 2024Ordered delivery. Food arrived hot. Presentation was great. The burger was one of the best I've had since moving to Springfield. Juicy, cheesy, and seasoned so well. I will definitely be ordering from them again or maybe I'll visit them in person next time!

Was charged for the wrong items. noticed 10 minutes after I had left and called the restaurant. the person I spoke with said it was there mistake and that she pressed the wrong button. i was told to call in the morning and the owner would refund me and to hold onto the 25 extra dollars worth of food that I paid for and never asked for and went into the trash.
spoke with the manager the following morning and she said it was my own fault, I should have paid more attention (which I do agree with) and that their employee did make a mistake but if I was expecting a credit or refund I was surely mistaken.
will not be returning.Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 1
