First of all it was difficult to see if we were in the right place. I did not see a sign with the business name, but on the door was a sign that said “Cougar Pride”. Parking was sparse but we didn’t have a problem as it wasn’t crowded. And they don’t take credit or debit cards. Now for the good stuff. Lots of drink selections with a variety of ingredient choices, tasty drinks and friendly and FAST service. The espresso machine was clean and the server kept cleaning it as she worked. It would have been great if we had time to stop as the dining area was filled with reading material and comfy chairs.

Based on the great reviews, we were prepared to love this restaurant. The owner and the woman who served us (possibly his wife?) were very nice. The place was very off the main drag adjacent to a golf course. We were the only customers but it's a small town and it was a Tuesday, so we weren't too concerned. The appetizer we ordered was calamari, which was decent. The chili-lime sauce was a bit sweet but ok as a dip. I had a Margarita, which tasted good, and I was surprised that it came in such a large glass, but I don't think it had much alcohol--I tend to get buzzed on a very small amount and didn't feel a thing with this BIG Margarita. My husband had a Sprite which was flat and had almost no taste--he said it "tasted like water."

The entrees were what earned this place the "Poor" rating. My husband ordered the hamburger with bacon and Swiss cheese. **THE BACON WAS UNDERCOOKED!!!** My husband didn't realize this until after he'd had a bite of the burger and noticed that it was rubbery--EW!!! We are both hoping he doesn't get SICK as a result! It honestly appeared raw and as though it had been cooked very little if at all.

I ordered the chicken which was way too spicy and did not have a good flavor. Mind you, I really like spicy food and had they told me it was hot, that would have been ok with me, but this didn't taste good at all (and you should warn people when food is going to be hot). It was also drier than it should have been. The baked potato was actually very good and the skin was very clean.

The owner asked us to review the restaurant and said that he could learn from a review that expressed something they could work on. PLEASE COOK THE BACON BEFORE PUTTING IT ON THE BURGER!!! And please reduce the spices on the chicken. Also, the lime with the chicken was not helpful at all. That chili-lime sauce would actually have been good with it.

This was a fun place to go for our Annual birthday lunch with the girls! Plenty of food to share and time to swap stories. Looks a little rough on the outside but it is worth the stop for the great food.

I had the chilaquiles and my husband had the burrito verde. The food off the lunch menu was a good portion, good quality, average flavor. Service was very good, the restaurant is very clean and the restroom was so clean my husband commented on it.

I spent over a week in Burlington recently eating here several times because my bro in law knows the owner. Sausage breakfast burritos were filling and very good. Lunch the standard Arby's combo meal no complaints. Service was spectacular, and I mean noticeable versus other fast food restaurants. Staff very knowledgeable of the menu. Very clean. A good experience whether eating in or going thru the drive thru. All good.

If you're looking for delicious home cooked food, this is a great place. Best country fried steaks with biscuits and gravy. In never order this kind of food but at The Post it's delicious comfort food that's hard to resist.

Carl's Jr

Reviewed By kuyals - Hays, Kansas

This is a new restaurant connected to a Love's gas station. It is located on the west side of Burlington and just south of I-70, so it is convenient off and on. The food was good and so was the service. For some reason there was a lot of flies in the place on the day I was there.

Panaderia <a href=Mexico #2">

Reviewed By Ted M - Taft, California

It's often been said that the best Mexican food isn't that much different from the worst Mexican food. After eating at Panaderia, I now know how great the difference is between best and worst. It's not that the food tasted especially bad -- it actually was just so-so -- it's that the preparation and presentation was appalling. For instance, I ordered a combination plate, and all three items were just lumped together in the middle with a soupy substance poured over the top. The soup turned out to be retried beans. I didn't think it was possible to ruin retried beans! The fistful of Mexican rice was dry and bland, and the tamale still had strings of corn husk embedded in it. The Chile relleno was pretty good, though. The restaurant itself was clean, though poorly lit, and the service was good. The biggest disappointment at all was that the restaurant does not serve alcohol. No beer, no margaritas -- not a drop.

We stopped here while traveling through on I 70 because it riight off an exit. It isn't much to look at, as it is attached to a gas station and the menu is on the wall making it look like a fast food place Mexica style, but don't let that fool you The food was freshly made, very tasty and generously portioned for a very reasonable price. I had a chorizo and egg dish, with my choice of flour or corn tortillas, plus rice and beans, which gave me left overs for entire extra meal, all for under $7

There weren't many people there when we arrived, but the place was filling with folks that acted like regular customers while we were eating. We'd go back again if we are in the area.

They don't seem to have a website but you can find their menu on yelp or one of the other menu sites.
