We were just driving through from Houston to Rockport and stopped at AJs for a quick bite. The food was fantastic! Staff was so kind to our toddler. We will be back again! read more

Great food and friendly, attentive service. Love the connivence of the pickup window!

Delicious burgers, we will be back next time we traveling to Houston. The service was on point and very inexpensive. read more

Very good hamburger and fries. Not fancy but definitely worth the price. Both the women working were nice. Small dining area that isn't too crowded when we were there but it was after the typical lunch hours. They have a lot of drive through traffic all day. Would definitely go back if driving through again. read more

My girlfriend and I stopped by late one night on the way down to Corpus Christi. We just wanted a quick burger before we got back on the road and AJ's hit the spot perfectly. The place itself is pretty bare bones and could use a little TLC. But for just a quick in and out stop, it didn't matter all that much. Server was pleasant and took care of us promptly. The burgers were fantastic, nothing too fancy or gourmet. Just a good old fashioned juicy American cheeseburger. Stop by if you can. read more

Just had lunch at AJ's. Found them on Yelp while traveling between Houston area and RGV. So excited we stopped here! We each had cheeseburgers and I had French Fries and husband had Tator Tots. Burgers were large and fresh and tasted great! Fries and tots were cooked to perfection (crispy on the outside and perfect on the inside)! We also got hand-dipped REAL milkshakes to go, which was happiness in a cup! Loved the building! Looks like it might have been an old gas station. Every surface inside is clean and orderly and service was friendly and timely. Located in the town of Edna right off Hwy 59. Super easy and quick detour and well worth it! Do yourself a favor and skip the DQ and all the other crappy chains and go to AJ's. You can thank me later. Oh! And if you are in a hurry you can call in your order because they have a drive through window. And one final thing, there is plenty of parking. We are driving a 34 ft pull behind trailer and we had no problem parking, so bring your rv or horse trailer and enjoy a great burger! read more

Passing through from Houston to Corpus and found this burger joint. Great food and kind service. Would definitely stop by again. read more

Great food, fast service, and affordable! We will definitely be back. The onion rings were amazing!

I came back years after my first review and they have really stepped it up. The cheese burger was fantastic! The bun is upgraded to a specially baked one that has great flavor and chew. The patty was beefy, juicy, and tender with great grill flavor. Maybe best burger in Jackson county! read more

Finding AJ's is why I like Yelp. Was driving up Hwy 59 heading home and looked up restaurants and found this burger joint in Edna. A small and very clean and friendly mom and pop. There was a table with several older couples in their church clothes so I knew it was popular with locals. Ordered the cheeseburger all the way with onion rings. Burger was excellent and the rings some of the best I've had. Friendly hard working staff. Glad I skipped the fast food chain and found this gem in Edna. read more

AJ's - Cheeseburger combo! - Hot Dogs Near Me - Edna, Texas

We are traveling from Houston to Rockport and stopped for hamburgers here. They were possibly the best we've ever had. The sourdough bun was delicious, and the drinks feature finely crushed ice. The chicken salad sounds great, too! read more

Delicious! Driving thru on a rainy Sunday and came across the best cheeseburger! A great little place with friendly service! I got a single and my husband a double with grilled jalapeños and bacon. They were bigger than we anticipated because of the price. Toasted bun with all the fixings and many additional options. For less than $25, we got the burger combos with fries and tea. Clean, and family friendly home cooked food (burgers, dogs, chicken and gizzards) that was better than anything I've had in a long while. I definitely recommend! read more

Headed back home from Corpus Christi and looking for a quick lunch and a restaurant we haven't tried. Searched trusty Yelp for a recommendation and this place in old Edna popped up. Sounded good so we made the loop around to find it and I am really glad we did. The restaurant is very unassuming as a converted old filling station (almost expected to meet someone named Goober here..) it was a blessing that there were no fan belts or hoses on the walls or tires laying around just an adapted front drive through and demure entrance door. The inside is very basic small town tables and chairs with an old menu block letter sign and plastic wrapped specials list on the counter. Divey! I loved it. A nice lady took our order (two cheese burger baskets with fries) and the food came out pretty quickly. I was surprised how large and beautiful the burgers were presented. Large home style buns with a fat patty of excellent quality, lettuce, tomato and onion all fresh. The burgers were wrapped in paper like days gone by and the first bite sent me back to the days of my youth when people went out of their way in crafting good burgers. They have the taste of early Americana busting of juicy flavor. They really need to be wrapped in paper as they are just that juicy! The crinkle fries were cooked perfectly crunchy without being dry. The catchup was brought out from a cooler cold..(love the health and safety mindset) and alas my burger was gone before I realized I hadn't taken a picture! Sorry about that! I set my empty basket down and pulled more tip money out of my wallet to add to my previous tip when we paid at the counter. This was the best burger I've had really in decades. Not dripping in avocado-mango-salsa or blackened or covered in bacon or whatever, just an honest old school home run of a basic cheese burger. Love it ... or face the fact that everyone with any sense will know you don't know what a burger is supposed to taste like!!! Burger lady.. I will be back!! Next time to sample the awesome chili you told me about too! read more

Ho. Ly. Smokes. Not sure I ever realized something so simple as a cheeseburger could be so good. Fantastic cheeseburger! I wish I could transport this spot back to my hometown so I could enjoy it again and again. 10/10 read more

Worker was kind. Service was good. Food is great, hot, and fresh. Got the Philly steak sandwich and fried okra. Bun buttered and toasted to perfection! read more

Hot damn! The saying, "great things come in small packages" applies here. This roadside shack may be unassuming, but the burger was amazing. The fresh roll bun, the perfectly seasoned beef, melty American, and HOT crinkle fries. A++. Every bit what a burger and fries should be. The chicken salad sandwich was a little on the sweeter side, but the boyfriend was happy to trade, and he loved it. Will make it a point to have lunch there anytime I'm in the area. read more

I'm not trying to ruin anything, this is my honest opinion about the food that's all. I don't want a new recipe or a perfect American famous dish. Just a simple burger with fries. OMG!! really no way :( how's that possible. Don't just sell food with no personality and make a deal, try to get better cook something real. Something that makes people come back. I know I'm not coming back. read more

Stopped in here on the way to Corpus Christi from Houston! It's a tiny place off 59S, but easy to get to and from the freeway. The gal at the cash register was making a milkshake with real "Keith Valley" ice cream when we walked in. We ordered two cheeseburger combos and two Corona's and our bill was $21 and change. The beer was ice cold and the cheeseburgers were delightfully messy! There were too many French fries to finish! The wait staff (1 person) did a great job checking on tables and getting refills for folks. After your meal, take a moment to drive through the town; it's a step back in time. We will definitely stop by again. read more

Called in an order. Service was friendly and timely. Burger Baskets were good. This place would be very successful with a remodel and some lighting & paint. read more

Great food and atmosphere. Do not come here if you are in a hurry, food is made fresh to order and worth the wait.

Cute building. Fast service. Bathroom... not clean. Food... mediocre. Food service burger patties, food service fries.... tastes like every other place that gets mass food service. No handmade, well seasoned patties. The cheese steak had a few pieces of onion and some cheese. The meat was bland. Prolly won't seek it out again. Not worth it for the food quality. read more

We frequently make a weekend run from Houston to Corpus Christi and back again to visit my parents. Typically, we stop to eat in Edna, which is the midway point in the trip, and usually that involves a stop at a fast-food chain restaurant - There's a Church's Chicken, Whataburger and McDonald's off the highway, for example. But this time, we used our Yelp-fu to see if there were any interesting places inside Edna because, well, we've had fun doing that before on other road trips. And we found a pretty good lunch spot in town: AJ's Restaurant on E. Main Street. It's one of those classic Texas roadhouse restaurants - a tiny joint in an old gas station, with brick walls and polished concrete floors. The menu runs to burgers, catfish, chicken, etc. I had the cheesburger, and paid the extra .75 to get it on a sourdough bun. The burger was excellent - fresh lettuce, tomato and just the right amount of mustard. The meet was moist and flavorful, but not runny. The bun was perfect - sweet, toasted on top, and soft but not mushy. It came with crinkle-cut fries that had obviously been fried just for our order, and they were just right - crispy outside, soft and fluffy inside. The woman behind the counter was super friendly, and while it took a bit to get our food, it was worth it. Highly recommended as a non-chain choice if you are driving between Corpus and Houston. And we'll be back. I love catfish, and didn't notice they had it on the menu until I'd already ordered. Good excuse to stop in again! read more

The onion rings are a must-order! Location is an old gas station with a few tables. Brisk take-out orders.

Our burgers were delicious and as we ordered them. Staff was friendly - we ordered to go and it was ready in a reasonable time. Our only issue was that we wanted tots and they were out. The fries were good, though. We'll definitely go again. read more

Best burgers and sweet tea in town! The staff is always friendly, and we always receive our order in a timely manner.

Stopped in on our way from Corpus Christi to Houston. Friendly staff and the kids loved the burgers!

If you are into greasy food ol food then yes this is a place for you! Food is full of flavor and service is good, they have about an average wait time and ambiance is good. read more

Good old fashion burgers nice and greasy fries could've been cooked a little longer but all around good

Stopped in today (thur) and ordered the daily special of Steak Sandwich. Its a combo with fries and a drink. Crinkle fries (my favorite) and the steak is a chicken fried steak sandwich. Served up as a basket. Delicious. Always stop here when I pass through Edna. I've had the chicken salad sandwich before and it too is delicious. Nothing fancy as it's an old gas station that Draws a local crowd. These are the best spots? read more

We were driving by and it had great reviews. Decided to stop and we absolutely loved the place. Great tasting food and very friendly customer service. read more

All this cheeseburger was missing was a malt shop next door. With the crinkle cut fries of my youth, cheeseburgers don't taste like this anymore. My mom & I enjoyed lunch here when passing through. Appreciate them being open on a Sunday. And a cheeseburger that was a blast from the past. read more

Love the use of an old gas station. I always come here when I'm in town for the frito pie. If you're looking for a homemade burger, this is not the place. read more

Doesn't look like anything but and old gas station. The hamburger and fries were amazing that myself and my daughter ate. My grandson had the chicken nuggets and he ate all of them. He never eats all of anything. I tried one and they were great. Bathrooms were clean. Restaurant was very clean. read more

This is a great burger and fries spot. Everything is cooked fresh to order. Burgers are huge and delicious. I ordered mine on the sour dough bun which is a little denser and sweet. It was really delicious. We got an order of fried okra and our son got a chili burger. Everything was really good. We will be going back for our burger fixes for sure. Great customer service and a cool atmosphere. Really enjoyed it. read more

We went off the beaten path to find this quaint place in Edna, Tx. We were driving to Houston and were trying to eat at a "non-chain" place. This place looks like it used to be a gas station. The food was delicious! My son had a milkshake and they hand scooped the ice-cream. It was so good! If you're ever in the area, I recommend popping in. It's always great to support local businesses! read more

Driving through to Corpus and family was craving a burger. We always use yelp to help us find a place to eat on road trips. Sometimes we get lucky, sometimes it's a miss. Hole in the wall place. Frozen patties which I am not a fan of, I am a burger snob. It's definitely a locals place which is fine but I wanted a real patty. Sorry.... read more
