We've been a few times with workmates for lunch. We love it! The food is consistent, the staff is nice, the place is clean, and the food comes out quickly enough. Prices are reasonable, and you can order ahead for pickup if you're in a rush. A couple of tips: - The sweet tea is not too sweet, which is how I prefer it. But if you've got a sweet tooth you may need to add sweetener. - Add the seasoning to whatever fried potato you order. So good! - Careful of what you flush in the restroom. The signs are quite stern (and hilarious.) read more

Stopped by on a Saturday at 12:15pm, a few folks were there eating. Ordered up then sat and waited. 45 minutes later a dry double-burger and cold sweet potato fries arrived at the table. If you're in Burton but headed to Brenham stop at Dairy Bar instead. read more

Food is always delicious, my go to is the patty melt basket with seasoned fries. It's best to call ahead it gets packed fast. Also the ladies are always super sweet and remembers my name when I walk in. read more

Down to earth small town restaurant. The food is to die for at an affordable price! The burger, the homemade onion rings, the homemade chicken strips, the pizza ...all a 10/10!!! read more

Delicious food. Good Service. Live music at the bar next door on the weekends. Best Burger around.

My family and I were really excited to try this place for dinner, tonight, for the 1st time...however, we weren't too impressed! My 7 year old ordered the kid's grilled cheese and it was, by far, the worst looking grilled cheese I've seen in my 44 years! It was burned on the outside AND INSIDE the sandwich, flat as a pancake and I don't know if they even put any cheese inside of it. Crazy, that we paid $5 for that! My husband had the chicken fried steak sandwich...he said it wasn't really seasoned or anything, super bland. I had a cheeseburger and it was just OK. If I had to recommend Burton Short Stop or Dairy Bar in Brenham...I would, hands down, say Dairy Bar! read more

Finally got the chance to try the food. Been in a couple of time to pick up a drink and the food just looked amazing. Well guess what. It was!!! I was dying to try the cheeseburger and it didn't disappoint. Hand made patty grilled bun, all the fixin's. It was what a burger is supposed to be. Added the sweet potato fries and they were crispy and tasty. Mom had the fried chicken salad and it was great too. Very fresh and chicken was crispy and flavorful. Can't wait to go back. Lots of great items. The staff is really friendly. The food came out quickly even though it was their busy lunch time. This is a little country store but we had ample place to sit and the place is clean and welcoming. Take the time to stop. You won't be disappointed!! read more

Sweet ladies and great food. We enjoyed our lunch. The sweet lady was quick to take our order and despite a full house our food was done quickly. Thank you. read more

Food was great first time here will be back again! Saved in my maps. Burger had good flavor and was dressed neatly. :) read more

Burton Short Stop - I ate my burger too quick to take a pic - American Near Me - Burton, Texas

Service was great and friendly! Food was good too. Local little diner. Good wholesome burger and taco salad.

Great quality food! Would recommend to anyone who's in the mood for good ole American style food.

The Special was amazing. Philly cheesesteak was as good as I have had in Houston. Close to Roundtop. Convenient to 290 between Houston and Austin. read more

Local burger place where everyone knows everyone. Very friendly service. Had cheeseburger with onion rings and fries. Both were very good. They were out of bacon the day we went. Also have a back room so lots of indoor dining. read more

The food here is very good. I had a fried chicken sandwich, the chicken was tender and it had clean, crisp iceberg lettuce (makes a big difference) and a fresh bun. We also ordered a cheeseburger, fried okra and tater tots. All of it prepared perfectly and generous portions. Less than perfect rating because the lady who took our order didn't bring out our food or let us know when our order was ready so it ended up sitting in the kitchen for over 40 minutes while we were starving but we still had a good time.

My ATF cheeseburger!!!! I've been going here for many years and it's always been the same.

This place was recommended by locals, I am glad we listened. It was the best home cooked food ever !

Stoped in one night to a cozy little hamburger place. Ordered a patty melt and it was prob too 3 burgers I've had. Onion rings where homemade and delicious. Just a mile or two of the main highway. If your ever near this place I recommend you stop. 2 thumbs up! read more

This burger can't be beat. The onion rings are the I have ever had! Check out the cool gift shelf just to the right as you walk in.

Good food and prices. Clean down to earth environment. Burgers and chicken fried chicken sandwich plus Onion rings is what we had! I want to try their breakfast next time. A lot to choose from Betty was delightful and very personable. Looks like they have homemade cheese cake made from local gentleman. Fresh tea also. read more

Quiet little small town burger spot. They run a daily special where you can get things like a burger steak with green beans and mashed potatoes and gravy. read more

Stopped in again recently. Overall has dropped a notch. Table was tacky feeling from grease I presume nothing obvious; food was greasier with a little less true flavor. Still was very good just not as good overall read more

Great food. Burgers are made when you order, not sitting on a hot plate. They also have a plate menu that usually changes every day. Can't go wrong with either food. read more

Great burgers, chicken, really all of the food here is good. They also have cold drinks adult adult style and kids drinks.

Love this place! I've had their breakfast tacos, now I've had their friend pork chops, brown gravy. Amazing! My bf got their Fried Chicken, cream gravy, also delicious. M&M cookies were amazing too. Worth a trip for sure! read more

Doesn't seem like much when you drive up, but a former gas station turned store with an awesome restaurant!! Fabulous, huge hamburgers and fries. Couldn't even eat it all!! And cold beer!!! Highly recommend!!! read more

Always friendly and burgers are large. My wife and I share one. They also have specials.

Burton. go to. Enough said. Great burger baskets and a have to stop to get the feel of the country that day.

Great burger. Great experience. Don't let the exterior fool you. Worth dropping in if you are passing through the area.

Restaurant/Fuel stop/corner store! Good people and good eats. Give it a try, home made, made to order, down home deliciousness

Passing thru on our way to Seguin. Stopped for lunch and the food was great! Nice hidden gem.

Great food and nice people at the Short Stop. Amon the best eateries in the county. Burgers and chicken tenders are worth the stop, but don't order them without onion rings. Cheesesteak is also good. The staff are all friendly locals and take pride in their work. read more

Super cute little store & cafe. Has everything you need if you're driving through on a road trip. It also has old timey gas pumps too. Much better than stopping at a gas station directly off the highway. This little convenience store & cafe was about 30-45 seconds off the highway. read more

Went in for breakfast burritos. The lady at the front took my card and acted like the card reader didn't work so she went to get help from.... the cooks in the back kitchen... with the owner standing right there.... with my card in her hand for at least 10 minutes..... Every now and then they would look around the corner at me. She comes back and proceeds to "charge" my card for the burritos and I leave (she didn't charge the card). Cut to a few days later, I start getting fraudulent activity on my card from states I've never been to. My card does not have tap to pay and she was the only person to physically handle my card my whole time in Texas. At least two employees conspired to steal my card info. That was my disability check for the month. Talked to the owner and he doesn't care. I'm filing a police report today. . AVOID AT ALL COSTS read more

Really enjoyed this small town gem!!! Burger was absolutely great, crispy chicken sandwich is outstanding, conveniently located across from the school!!! Small town Americana, super friendly service!! Do not miss this eatery!! read more

For a true small town cafe with a homemade burger, this is the place to come! The lady working described their burger as 'to die for' .... and she wasn't joking! Bun toasted perfectly and great seasoned meat. Husband even said it was the best burger he had had in a long time. read more

Love the warm wood walls and the homey feel. Self serve coffee. Lots of seating. Down home feel with friendly staff. And they make an amazing ham,egg and cheese breakfast sandwich! read more

The Crispy Chicken Sandwich is huge (one entire chicken breast) and superb with fresh tomatoes, lettuce and mayo on a bun. The Corona Extras from the cooler behind the counter are as cold as they can possibly get without forming ice crystals. Our country place is about 6 miles away and we either eat there or call in our orders (20 minutes before we get there) and take them with us, at least twice on every weekend. When we were there with the grandkids a few weeks ago, Bryan asked for ketchup and Rick Perry said, "Here you go" and put it on our table on his way out. read more

Good selection...large servings (especially the burgers) and friendly staff.. it's a good meal in a casual atmosphere

Ordered a burger and fries 'to go' yesterday and it was fabulous! Burger perfectly cooked, very tasty and the fries were seasoned really well. Cook and staff very friendly and made me feel that they appreciated my business. Will definitely be back. read more

Good food, friendly service, clean, and convenient. Big fan of their burgers!
