My husband and I stopped by this small, locally owned hamburger place on a rainy afternoon. The…read moreowner wasn't there at first, and a woman who was helping run things greeted us and took our order. She was very direct and told us upfront it would be about a 20-minute wait, which I appreciated. While we waited, I sat in the car listening to the thunder and rain. There was something peaceful and simple about that moment and I loved it. My husband stayed inside to wait for the food. During that time, a couple came back in upset about the wait and asked for their money back. The owner had just returned from a family event and was clearly trying her best to make things right. Even when the couple was rude, she handled it with grace and empathy, saying, "I'm sad that we failed you." It was such a human moment. One that showed how much she cares about her customers and her business. And our hamburgers were absolutely delicious! Definitely worth the wait. I enjoyed everything about this experience. Support small businesses like this one, friends! It's a hidden gem where real people work hard and care deeply about what they serve.

The kid and I both ordered the mission burger, which is 2 smash patties, cheese, and their special sauce. I added grilled onion to mine and he ordered a side of fries. I could tell when I looked at the patties I would be disappointed. They weren't really smash patties at all, more like the size and shape of a McDonald's quarter pounder. They tasted like the prepackaged patties you would get out of a box or bag. I can't say for sure, but the quality was just not great. I've eaten my fair share of burgers around the metroplex, so I know good quality when I have it. The kid enjoyed his food and the fries were really good, hence the 3 stars. At $11 for the basic burger, I wouldn't visit again. I hate leaving reviews like this!

She got home and started pulling out said sandwiches and sides only to discover they had not included my intended pork sandwich. I asked the wife to call back up to them and let them know I was coming back into town to get my sandwich. $5 is $5 at this point and I wouldn't have anything but sides if I didn't head back into town. Got told when I got there by the female manager on duty tonight that I was lying and I had probably ate it already so was coming back to try and steal another from them. Long story, finally got my pork sandwich the wife paid for and, thankfully a little later I found out, a burger too. Got home, opened the pork sandwich and pathetic pork sandwich is a better name for it. Literally one small spoon size line of pork meat in the center of the otherwise dry bottom bun and four pickles with a swipe of some red sauce that smells like cheap bbq sauce on the top bun. Found out as well that they never picked up the phone the whole time I was gone to correct the issue that way so wife got a constant busy signal for over thirty minutes. Also, at least half of what we did get at first was cold (cheesy fries), burnt (onion rings), or chewy/undercooked (wacky pack chicken tenders) depending on item. Overall, the pathetic pork just cost me $5+ gas because no one wants to eat it with how it looks and wasted gas driving back and forth from Cleburne for this pathetic pork sandwich. Moral of the story: Don't waste your time or money.

Juicy burger with premium condiments. Now, $12 for a burger is a little rough. But, in my opinion, it is more than worth it. It has that true homemade burger(my favorite type of burger) taste. I would definitely recommend this place to friend, but only if they just got paid ;) -Damon read more

Fred's is offering up their Verde Burger - 1/2 lb black angus patty with mustard (I substituted Mayo), lettuce, tomato, sautéed onions, melted pepper Jack cheese, and a stack of their house fire roasted hatch peppers.....mmmmm yummy!! Yes, it is hatch pepper season here!!! Perfect timing. The ambiance definitely had a Texas flair and was very relaxed. I ordered my burger medium and it was absolutely perfectly cooked, with the crunchiness on the outside (but not a smash burger). And it was seasoned, which is one of my pet peeves for burgers; most are not well seasoned. The lettuce and tomato got a little lost in the flavor bomb of the onions, cheese and hatch peppers. WOW, great burger! As an extra treat they provided fries as well at no extra charge; what a deal for $8!! The fries had just the right amount of seasoning and the texture and size of each fry was just right. An outstanding value and a very good burger. I will add that my server was pleasant and very attentive but not over bearing. As a side note her name is Hadassah which is the Jewish name for Esther in the story of Esther in the Bible.
