It's been quite a few year's since I've been to happy's however going back today I'm happy to be able to say thier quality hasn't withered with the passing of time. 🙂 their food was freshly made and cooked to perfection! The B.L.T. was well balanced. 😋I would like if they'd opened thier dining area. However that's just a preference of atmosphere not in anyway related to the quality of food. 🙂

Drive through only when we stopped. Really good fast food stop. I was driving south with the family and we were hungry and decided to check out Happy’s. Good stop for food. The drive thru line was long but it moved fairly well. Server was nice just remember to say yes to napkins and ketchup when asked. I forgot napkins and that made for an interesting hamburger eating experience in traffic. Recommend the burgers they were good. Fries needed a little salt. Good stop over all.

Always great food and service. Only problem for them and us is, not enough help to enable the dining room to be open. Just the drive-through is. You can still go around and park as there are tables and a playing area for the kids.Kid-friendliness: There is an outdoor area that is a Rainbow play set my grandkids love playing on

This is the single best fast food burger in existence. It's a one off location that's family owned and it's the only location. By some crime against nature it's not the number one place to eat in onamia on trip advisor but sometimes people are just wrong. I stop every time I go past it on my way to mil Lacs. Sometimes I drive up from the city just to enjoy one of life's greatest pleasures that is the Big Happy Burger. In addition the onion rings are mana from heaven pair them with some mini tacos and you'll have a meal you'll skip the rapture to enjoy one more time. I'm honestly excited for you because if you're reading this you're contemplating stopping by here and it'll be the first time. Don't let the line at the drive through deter you. It's worth it.

Super tasty! Every time we drove by this place there was a line of 5 or more cars waiting in the drive thru. We decided to stop and see what it was all about. The food was so good! We got the Big Happy Burger basket and the cheeseburger basket. Get a side of the Secret Sauce to dip your fries in!

We stopped at Happy 's while driving through town and I would do it again. I had a BLT. It wasn't anything fancy but it was good. Onion rings were also good. We didn't have ice cream but it looked great.The space is what makes it really special. There's a big outdoor play area with a big playground and a basketball court. There's also a very nice indoor play area with books to read. When driving with kids it can be hard to find a good place to eat and play. This is a winner!!!

We will definitely be coming back. White chocolate caramel cappuccino was delicious! Our burgers, fish sandwich, salad, and fries were also amazing and all as fresh as can be. 10/10

I can't say anything bad about this place. They have great food, and prices. Ice cream they have hard or soft serve. The hard ice cream you have many to choose from. One scoop is enough for me but you still need a bowl. There is sitting outside and a small play area for children but there is a busy highway near by watch your children.

Great spot! Service was excellent! Food was suprisingly good for fast food drive thru! We stopped on our way home from our cabin and we were pleasantly surprised! I suggest stopping we did not go in to eat so can't speak to the inside cleanliness or service but drive thru was great!

I took a much needed day to go for a drive with no destination. I was looking for a place that I have never been to and wasn't just your normal fast food. After about an hour and a half on the gravel roads I hit a tar and came across this place right off 169. I ordered a double bacon cheeseburger basket and it was phenomenal ! Burger and bacon were cooked to perfection and the fries were perfectly crunchy. The lady working the drive thru window was very friendly. I would highly recommend this place if your in the area. I will definitely be coming back for more. They have a very big menu with a lot of variety.

My husband and I decided to give this place a try. It was extremely expensive and the food was disgusting. I ordered the chicken fillet basket which was a little over $12. It comes with really nasty school type french fries and a very small drink that's mostly ice. The chicken was so old and rubbery that I could not even eat it. I fed it to the dog in the car. It was breaded and I thought for the price that it would be grilled.My husband had a $10 burger basket and asked to upgrade to a shake. We also had a side of onion rings which had six onion rings in the small package.The total for that little tiny bit of food was $31 and some change.Save your money and go somewhere better.

Simple Ice cream choices..but delicious! Simple is better. Kiddy rides, kids play ground and a basketball court for the older ones. Nicely thought out. We didn't order food, but the drive through was lined up and people inside and out seemed happy with their food. The chicken sandwich looked very crispy and well portioned. The staff was very friendly and they came over to help each other when the others got backed up. Team work in play. Very diverse croud of patrons.I definitely will go back.

Very impressed, service was outstanding, food was amazing, portions were great and prices were in the ballpark with every other food places in area. I will definitely return. The only disappointment was the indoor dining not availableKid-friendliness: There is a playground

Nice stop on the way home from a weekend camping at the lake. It's drive-thru only, but it was a nice day so we day out back on the their benches and playground area. It was great for the kids to run off some extra energy while the adults finished up. Food was basic, but good- a little overpriced in my opinion. My rating is honestly closer to a 3.5 ⭐

Best fast food / burger joint on your drive north of the cities. Generous helpings of very tasty fries. Fantastic burgers!

Love Happy's! We always hit it going to and from the cabin. Good burgers and shakes. Great service.

It is a yearly tradition of our family to visit Happy's before we go to our cabin. Every summer we eat lunch here and it's never let us down. Sometimes the line can be long, but it's well worth the wait.You could call this "fast food", but it's much, much more than that. Happy's is what fast food used to be in the 50s and 60s. Everything is made fresh to order and it tastes so very good!In my opinion, they have the best milkshakes. My favorite flavor is banana and for my partner it's butterscotch. For food, the burgers are delicious. Personally, I love their chili dogs. It has the sweetness from the relish and the chili and onions balances it out.

Very convenient location for the drive. Pretty good fast food, and the service was kind and excellent. I'm knocking off a star only because the beef quality has slipped this year in my opinion. It was pretty gristly. Also the fries aren't crinkle cut anymore. Hopefully only a temporary supply chain issue.

Fun place for families with children. Traditional "drive-in" fare and both indoor and outdoor seating.

Family owned fast food?! Nothing better, skip the chain and get yourself a Big Happy Burger. Friendly staff, tasty fries and curds, yes they have ice cream. Last I was there only had the drive thru so send your kids in to apply so they can reopen the dining room. :) Thanks Happy’s
