Nice friendly staff. Clean informal dining. Order at the counter and wait for them to call your number. Our food was brought out to us. While we waited, we listened to some great country music. We got the Saturday special which is a combo cheeseburger , fries and a drink. Ask questions if it is your first time so as not to be surprised on the charges if you go bottled or fountains drink, or pick a side other than fries. The burger patty was thick and flavorful. Juicy with a hair pink. Not sure if that was intended or not. I have no problem with my burger that way but I know some who will not eat any pink showing. Fries were bland and I don't believe they seasoned them. The price for the experience is a bit high. Bottled drinks are over $3. Most of the menu items appear to be ala cart. Fries and drink extra which drives that cost up. read more

stopped in because the spot I was going to was closed, and this place was nearby. What a fantastic surprise--it turned out to be meant to be! I ordered the hamburger club with a side of their honey mustard, and it was outstanding. The burger was cooked to perfection: juicy, flavorful, and made with clearly fresh ingredients. You can tell a lot of care and love goes into every smash. The honey mustard was excellent, though I wasn't as big a fan of the ranch (it had more tang than creaminess for my taste). The tater tots were crispy, salty, and had a perfect texture. Hands down, one of the best burgers I've had in a long time--and I travel quite a bit. Service was fantastic. The woman who brought our food (I didn't catch her name) was incredibly sweet and even gave my wife and me keychains as a thank you. They don't accept card tips, so be sure to bring cash for these hard-working folks. I'll definitely be coming back once a month. Highly recommend! read more

Black Meg 43 - Cheeseburger Club Sandwich!!! Tater tots! - Sandwiches Near Me - Copperas Cove, Texas

5-stars because Black Meg switched their grease to beef tallow. We ordered in the drive thru on a day that offered "Any Special" as a special. We ended up paying a bit more (by choice) because we didn't want fries or a drink. Seriously, we just wanted a good burger. Food was great, order was 100% accurate, and the older lady that took our order was kind. She didn't give us too much crap about our choice of spending. read more

Overpriced, mediocre burgers that somehow manage to disappoint every single time. Even on the rare occasion they get the order correct, the food is still bland and underwhelming. For what they charge, you'd expect something memorable. Instead, you get a forgettable meal and the lingering feeling that you paid far too much for it. The consistency is almost impressive, just in the worst possible way. Wrong orders, average-at-best food, and prices that suggest they think they're a gourmet burger spot. They aren't. At this point it's hard to understand how this place stays open. Based on the quality and execution, these people have absolutely no business running a restaurant. read more

Food is always good here, but lately a cheese burger combo with drink will run you $17 after tax! A bit outrageous of a price if you ask me, and the person taking the order had quite the attitude when I said something about the price. read more

Best burger you'll find near Fort Hood! Combine it with the Dublin soda they serve and you have yourself a perfect lunch combo. Conveniently located and the Meg Bucks are a nice touch too. read more

So I just have to tell everyone that when you visit Fort Cavazos, formally known as Fort Hood, then you must get into Copperas Cove to eat at the famous burger joint around, Black Meg 43. They have an original sauce that is renovating and phenomenal. The people are always helpful and the atmosphere in the restaurant is spectacular for Texas families. read more

Black Meg 43 - Cheeseburger - Sandwiches Near Me - Copperas Cove, Texas

Friendly staff. Clean restaurant. The grilled chicken sandwich was great. I will stop by again sometime.

This has been my go to burger spot. I even order lunch for students at times. I'm so disappointed in the lack of hygiene I witnessed on Sunday. The young man behind the counter was taking orders and handling money. He was also handling fries. He would use the same napkin to place fries in the bags. Tongs would much better and more sanitary. However he left the counter and went straight to the kitchen and began prepping food. He didn't skip a beat to wash his hands. I kindly explained to the shift lead. She said they wear gloves, but you still need to wash your hands before putting on gloves. She was very courteous and refunded my card. Please do better with hygienic practices. read more

My top 3 craving locations. Been 4 times in the last 6 months and the food has always been fresh, the service quick and staff friendly. They've got their act together here. My go to is the Cactus Jack Burger or Patty Melt with tots and all the sauces on the side for dipping! read more

Great Burgers and fries. Very nice staff and atmosphere. The prices are fair. And if you up for a food challenge they have one that will put you to the test. You can see it on Beard v food in YouTube. I recommend and I now not very glamorous. But the cheese Burger is great. read more

I came here for National Cheeseburger Day because they had cheeseburgers for $1. I went after work around 6pm and the parking lot was packed as well as the drive thru. I almost considered not going, but I'm glad I did because the service was quick! It took me about 15 minutes from when I pulled up to to when I got my food and left. I thought they were pretty organized despite the chaos so good job Black Meg 43! I ordered 3 Cheeseburgers all the way, 2 fries and a drink. They accidentally gave me an extra order of fries, which was cool at first, but the fries were super sad and soft so we ended up jus tossing them. I honestly thought the burgers were great for $1. It had cheese, tomato, onion and pickles, so it was pretty basic, but gave me that classic cheeseburger feeling. It was also a good sized burger! My only issue with it was that it was dry because it didn't have any condiments on it. This is my first time at Black Meg 43, so I'm not sure if this is how their normal cheeseburgers are or if you get to put the condiments on when you dine in, but I had to add dijon mustard to my burger at home. I liked that the fries were thicker than a fast food fry, but it could have been crispier. I might visit again to try their regular menu, but I'm not totally convinced yet. read more

Many flavors of French fries Price was extremely reasonable. Great value for your money. Service was fast and pleasant. Will be going back often read more

They NEVER. Get your order right! I must say this is my last straw after coming here for a while and by while I mean the last 4 years! I would over look past the fact that they never gave me the extra items I paid for whether it was an extra patty/bacon/avocado because they are a veteran owned small business and blamed it on my self for not checking before leaving, then I started checking every time I went. The one day I forget to check in missing basically every add on item I paid for. So I'll just take me business else where. Bc this is out of control read more

Food was fresh and served promptly right out of the kitchen pipping hot. Made to my order. Tasted great! Very flavorful beef on my burger. Friendly service. Clean dining area. Bonus! Dublin sodas (bottled and on tap) and Blue Bell ice cream! read more

This is a great local burger joint. Clean and welcoming space. Family friendly. Seating for small or larger groups. Food comes out fast and great flavor! The fries are fresh cooked, doubled fried for crispyness and well seasoned. I love the Cactus Jack burger! Mild heat from the jam is nicely offset by the creamy fat of the avocado. Talk about making your taste buds happy! Lots of options other than burgers as well. Loved my meal. read more

Good food clean restaurant! The service is spot on! Prices are reasonable a good home town burger place.

I live near by and I wanted to try a local burger restaurant. They have a sign that says 2020 beat burger in copperas Cove so my wife and I decided to try it out. We had the black meg combo and patty melt . The menu is easy to read and the staff taking orders were very polite . Overall the burger and regular fries are pretty standard . I know you can order extras in your burger but I have fresh veggies at home so it made the meal 5/5. I'll go back probably here and there. Better than McDonald's or Burger King forsure . read more

The best burgers in town. Great daily specials. A really nice hometown vibe. You will not go away hungry. We love Black Meg.

For a great hamburger and all the fixings this is the place!!! And the way they treat your kids, well they'll want to come back. The chicken sandwiches are mouthwatering, as well as the burgers. Fries, drinks are superb! And you can get seconds at the fountain. Tea is fresh, which for my taste is important! Nice atmosphere, very American, very Texan!! read more

Family owned. Rustic, western style layout and has both Drive thru and Dine in options. Great service and plenty of different options of food. Food portions are good priced.

over all the food is good, and for what you get, not bad pricing. Last time we went, service was really good. It does get busy fast though

I've been looking for a good burger for a while. When it came down to it me and my wife would go to Red Robin as a safe option. I decided to give this place a try and I was not disappointed. Fresh ingredients, and the huge thing for me was the patty. Usually burger places lean on the toppings on the burger and not so much on the actual patty, but the patty was full of flavor and I loved it. Their fries are delicious and seasoned well, but the reasoning behind me not giving 5 stars is because on the next visit my fries weren't as fresh as the first visit and had clearly been sitting for a while but the all around experience was great still. read more

Terrible service. My hamburger was prepared incorrectly and sent back three times and still they could not get it right.

I don't understand the bad reviews because this place was soooo good. The burgers and fries were really good, great service, clean environment, locally and veteran owned. 10/10 would recommend read more
