"WoW ... my double cheeseburger was so tall, I split my lip trying to bite! I had to take out the thick firm slice of tomato to get a bite. GREAT smash burger, quick HOT food and the 'windows waitress' was very friendly and so nice! There is plenty of covered parking to be in the shade, easy to get to ... I did not have any but the Ice Cream looks delicious. The serving my friend got was a 'Hub Cap Cheeseburger', I think it weighed 4 1/2 pounds (I might be exaggerating slightly). I am fairly picky about my food and, where I eat at and, I am HIGHLY RECOMMENDING the 'Jacket Yellow Drive-In' in Seridan Arkansas."

"My husband and I eat here for the first time on 2/1. I have no clue why we have waited so long. We got the double hubcap burger and cheese burger with large fries and large drinks. I'm going to add a photo of the burger but the picture doesn't do the size justice. These burgers were huge! They were also absolutely delicious. It's the good old fashioned burger that you just can't find anymore. We have talked about it all day and if we had known they were open on Sunday we would've gotten another burger today. The two ladies that took our order were so nice and they seemed to really enjoy themselves. This is not fast food so there was a slight wait time but the food was definitely worth it. We are in Sheridan weekly and I'm happy to say that we've found our new go to place for lunch after grocery shopping."

"If you want a real cheeseburger with a toasted bun and seasoned fries then the Yellowjacket is where you need to bee! Top it off with one of their many varieties of ice creams, shakes, or sundaes which is the cherry topping the cake. Loosen your belt and make someone else drive because you'll be so full and want a nap! Will definitely be back."
