    Receipt from lunch.
    Dennis M.

    Food... it's good, but has gotten REALLY pricy. I got a turkey burger which is one of the better ones I've had. $10.34 with $4.00 small tots and no drink. I asked for a cup of water that was poured from a pitcher with out any ice. Tasted like tap faucet. Service... the young lady working the register could really step it up in the customer service department. It's as if she really doesn't want to be there. I enjoy a side of mayo with my tots. When I asked for some, I was quickly told that they do not offer this. Something to do with a health risk... what???? Ever heard of mayo packets?? This establishment used to be a byob. I brought a couple of beers and was surprised when the young no personality lady said, "you can't bring in food or beverages from the outside." I replied, " Since when." She said that there was a sign on the door and asked me to get rid of it. The owner heard everything going on and recognized me as a repeat customer of several times. She said that we could finish, but there was a problem one evening with some very rowdy customers that led to this new decision. Understand.... Ambiance... it's clean. But, there was some really weird piano music playing that seemed associated with a children's video that was playing on the tv. A friend of mine, who happens to be a professional piano player, joined us later and made the comment, " that music is so creepy!" Agreed! Overall take off this, when you have extra money, get the food to go so you can take it home and eat and drink as you wish. At least I have mayo there!

    Always quality food and service. Great for takeout. You order over the phone and it's always ready in about 10 minutes. The family that runs the place clearly care about excellent quality and service and are always polite and professional and the food is always prepared well and fresh.

    The service is great and so nice! They have a huge variety of gourmet burgers and also their fried catfish baskets are delicious! Music ambiance is nice as well

    Wow, so happy we finally stopped in for lunch at this burger joint. The inside is super groovy. I love the vive and feel of this place. Surprised that they actually have a vegetarian burger option. Not only that but it was the best tasting so far I've had. My husband got a regular burger with mushrooms and jalapeños. He was very happy with his big burger. The meals came with a lot of fries, neither one of us could finish the meal. Also need to add that the staff here was above and beyond friendly. I wish more places were as happy at there jobs like this place. The only negative thing I would say about this place is the ceiling was dusty. :(

    This place has the absolute best burgers. I've been here several times to dine in. I have also carried out. Each time has been a pleasant experience. They are very timely. The normal fries are great. I just tried the chili fries for the first time. Reference the picture. They were very good but a little greasy. This place is law enforcement friendly and Garland officers are here often. The lunch specials are pretty good considering it's fresh burgers. The burger burger in my pic is a pound of meat between two patties and it's still under 7.00. Give them a shot you won't regret it!

    Chicken Nachos was great but greasy...

    I love this place...I go here almost 3-4 times a week and they greet me with a smile every time. Whether you want to eat lunch or dinner this is a place to stop by. They're friendly, fast and serve great portion meals that will put you to sleep & have you coming back the next day.

    Tea is very weak. I should not be able to see through it. It was like drinking tinted water.

This unassuming restaurant tucked in a corner of nondescript row of stores has stood the test of time. My first review of the place was in 2013. Here it is 13 years later then it is still going strong. I went for lunch with the family on a snow day. You order at the counter and they bring it to your table. No numbers, they just remember who you are. I always get combo number 1 and add sweet potato fries. The prices are great and not much more than McDonalds but the difference in value is significant. The burgers are not thick but this time I noticed the double burger (#2) is just a couple of bucks more than the the single patty in #1. Note to self for next time. Although the patty is thin, the flavors work. The burger comes with lettuce, tomato, onion, and mustard. No ketchup, you add that yourself. The bun with sesame seeds always comes out piping hot. Sweet potato fries are crispy and not greasy. The combo comes with a drink for $10.99. That's a deal. I hope they stay in business another 13 years!

    This is a true hole in the wall in the best possible way. No frills, no hype, just really good…read moreburgers done right. The patties are juicy, the buns are toasted perfectly, and everything tastes fresh and made with care. You can tell they are not trying to be trendy. They are just focused on making a solid burger every single time. It is the kind of place you keep coming back to because it never disappoints. Quick, simple, and consistently good. If you care more about flavor than atmosphere, this is the spot.

    Went there for the first time on a Friday night around 7:00. The place was around 40% full…read more Atmosphere was cozy casual, great music that wasn't too loud, and clean. You order at the counter and then wait for your food to be brought to you. The girl who took our order was very pleasant and helpful. I got the Irish nacho but I substituted onion strings for the french fries and she happily made the substitution. The burger was pretty thick and nicely char grilled. I love a good char. It was very good. My only complaint was that I like mine a little less well done cuz it might have been a little overcharred and a tad dry for my liking, but I think that could be rectified by just ordering it medium next time. The bun is toasted which I love. It comes with ranch dressing which was definitely made in-house and delicious (and I'm a ranch snob). It had lots of melted cheddar cheese and onion strings on it. I thoroughly enjoyed it. My husband got the hatch green chili burger and he loved it tho he said his was a little overdone as well. The kids both got the classic burger which comes with two smash patties instead of the one thicker one and they said that theirs was good as well. I got the sweet potato waffle fries which were a little thinner than I'm used to but I actually preferred it that way cuz they weren't soggy and had a little crispiness to the edges. The drinks come in a plastic cup that you can take home with you which I love. So overall very good and pleasantly surprised first visit. Only complaints were that, again, the burgers were a little overcooked and I'll order medium next time and it was a little pricey... $70 for the four of us getting combos.

    I love this place. I always recommend it to anyone and everyone that asks for suggestions in the…read moremall. I have tried all variety of menu options but my go to is always the Nashville hot tossed grilled chicken tenders or the custom burger with a 1/2 side of fries and 1/2 side of fried pickles. Everything is made to great taste. The service is great as well! Management plays an active role in managing customer service and is attentive.
