    Lunch counter

    We saw this little hole in the wall on one of our many trips up and down I35 but hadn't stopped til Today. Cupps is a small restaurant located Just off the access road a block. We enjoy experiencing the Mom and Pop Businesses along our travels. We popped in to fine about 5 booths and a long lunch counter with a row of stools so you can watch the action at the grill. While it wasn't much to look at, the staff was friendly, tables were clean and their bacon cheeseburger and fresh cuts fries were some of the best I can recall ever having. I'm Glad we stopped and we be back again for sure

    Lunch plate. Just nothing but delicious

    Eaten here on several occasions and it never disappoints. Today was the steak finger lunch plate and hubby had the double double cheeseburger. Great staff, super friendly. Lucky enough to score a booth. Their hours are 11-2. YUM YUM! Your tummy will thank you.

    This hole in the wall joint made the best burgers! We ordered a cheeseburger basket that came with a burger, small fry, and can soda. I was a little apprehensive because of the looks of the place, but was splendidly surprised when I got my food. Burger was moist, fresh vegetables inside, fries homemade. Everything is cooked in the open where you can see it. I'm so glad we came by. I definitely would come again. Oh, and the service was friendly. That's always a plus. Because of these things, I can overlook the way the place looked.

    It was decent. Food was okay and the drinks weren't anything special. Hamburger comes out well done…read moreand not sure you really get a choice of how you want it cooked by the looks of others. Great friendly service. 4.7 stars is a very very friendly score for this place.

We were greeted as soon as we walked in and directed to choose a table of our preference. The waitress quickly came over and grabbed our drink order while we looked at the menu. We placed our order and the waitress was very knowledgeable and able to answer our questions. She also informed us they work as a team so we can stop anyone when/if we need something. We started with the "Burning Bush" appetizer (crispy Brussel sprouts w/ lemon garlic aioli). YUM! They had just the right bite to them, and the glaze on them paired with the aioli was delicious! For our entrees we had the Golden Calf Burger w/ sweet potato fries and sriracha aioli and The Weight of Glory Sandwich w/ broccoli slaw. They were both incredibly flavorful and fresh! You can tell they locally source their ingredients and prepare them onsite. The portions are also plentiful, and we left with a takeout box. To round off lunch we tried the special mousse on the specials board (coffee flavored cheesecake mousse). It was so delightful we dug in before I could snap a pic. Just enough coffee flavor paired with chocolate sauce (not hersheys ). The big windows allow for a lot of natural light and lends to a welcoming and warm environment. We will for sure be back and bring others!

The vibe is very laid back and chill. The food was really good, we had a couple kids meals (cheeseburgers), a BYOB and I got the Gosh Jam It Burger and added Fried Onions, Bacon and Chipotle Sauce. The burger was yummy and the flavors blended well! We also enjoyed an order of fried pickles at the table along with samples of their free flavored pickles not pictured.

I ordered the fried pickles and I thought they would come out as an appetizer, but they were put next to the burger as a side so I was disappointed in that. The fried pickles were way too thick for my liking although they were breaded well. What's neat about this place is the variety of different flavored pickles that they have in the corner for you to eat. I really did like that!! There's a bar in the center of the floor and although I didn't get anything from the bar, I did like the setup. The burger itself was okay. Not spectacular, but not the worst. Would I eat here again? I think I would.

Today on the drive back and as I approach Waco I thought I'm gonna find a great smash burger....and oh boy did I ever. 4.5 miles off the expressway yelp pointed me to Captain Billy Whizz...not going to lie on the way there I was concerned and I got closer more worried if I had in fact chosen correctly! Pulling in nothing special and the area is interesting.... Saw they had a drive thru and went what the hell let's do this! Ordered a double smash burger with cheese fully dressed extra pickle, tater tots sweet tea and spent $20.00...just me. What I received was a perfectly cooked and seasoned juicy burger...HOT. The bun was soft and reminded me of an old style burger from my childhood. This is a big juicy burger and everything you'd want and expect in a burger. Tatter-tots were ok...hard to go wrong with em.... The problem is the burger...it's soooo damn good you forget about the tots. My only regrets is that I didn't take a pic....that's how good the burger is you won't put it down till it's finished. Ask for extra napkins....
