    Such a cute, old-school burger shop with unbeatable prices! Here's what we tried: the BLT was absolutely delicious--loaded with crispy bacon, and the toast was buttery and soft. It came with a side of fried okra, which was just as tasty! We also ordered a cheeseburger and a shrimp basket--both came in big portions, and everyone at our table enjoyed their food. To top it all off, we had a root beer float and vanilla malts--both were amazing! Our only complaint was how hot it was inside, which made things a little uncomfortable. But honestly, everything else was so good, we didn't mind too much. We'll definitely be back! There's a reason for the long lines--the food is fantastic, and the prices can't be beat!

    Came in for a weekday lunch. Small place and gets really crowded so come early or late. Double Burger - $5 (5/5) 2 big patties with lettuce, tomato, and pickles. Great value for what you get, much better than your fast food chains. Chicken Tender Basket - $7.50 (3.5/5) Either the chicken is breaded in store or it's a very good source. Crispy outside, juicy inside, exactly what you'd want in a chicken strip. The fries that came with the basket were subpar crinkle cut. Not too much flavor, crisp, or quantity. Chili Cheese Dog - $3 (3/5) Pricy for what you get. Nothing special, would not get. Sweet Potato Fries - $3 (3/5) Nothing to write home about. Burger and chicken tenders were amazing for a fast food place. The crinkle cut fries and sweet potatoes were what the kids call "mid" these days, will opt for seasoned curly fries next time. Going to stick with burger over hot dogs as well.

    We're in town to visit the bluebell factory and stopped for lunch. I chose it based on the reviews and was still surprised by how good it was. Finding the location and parking was easy. The location is small but we didn't have trouble finding a table for 2 of us. Ordering was easy and the food came out quickly. I got a cheese burger and tots. The cheeseburger was the best fast food burger I've ever had. The meat isn't paper thin and it was cooked perfectly. The tots were fried perfectly! Every single one was crunchy and not greasy! My boyfriend got the steak finger basket and they too were all fried to perfection. I got a strawberry shake to go and it hit the spot. Everything is super affordable and delicious. We already plan to go back for lunch tomorrow before we leave to try other items. Highly recommend!!

    Yelp steered us here after we picked up our daughter from summer camp. She was craving a chocolate shake and a hamburger before we drove back to DFW. The dairy bar did not disappoint! The parties were huge and homemade. The price was fantastic! We saw 8 cars in the drive thru when we pulled up and probably 6-7 in line inside. Orders came out fast and hot! We will be back!

    Name a place where you can get a HEFTY burger this good for $5, I will wait. Now, I grew up in Bellville, just a stone's throw from this place, and only just now ventured out from Houston to give it a try amid the aftermath of the Derecho in May 2024, and being able to sit among smiling friends and families was so healing. This place is dirt cheap and as good as you can get for what you're getting. While placing my order, I noticed the kitchen is SPOTLESS, in spite of a line wrapping around the building and a dining room full of folks. Didn't have to wait too long for piping hot chili cheese tots and my well-done burger on a perfectly toasted bun on exclusively unmarked, disposable paper packaging. The staff weren't over-the-moon friendly, and instead were focused on taking your order quickly, making your order properly, and getting it out to you quickly. Well-oiled. So grateful Brenham has a go-to mid-tier burger joint like this. Every town's gotta have it. Oh, and I'm still waiting.

    During our visit to Brennan, we thought we'd grab lunch so we looked to Yelp to guide us. We found some great pictures of the Dairy Bar so we decided to try it. Hubby got a patty melt and sweet potato fries. I had the regular hamburger. It's drive thru experience with a small inside. You order at a window and drive around for them to bring you your order. The food was hot and fresh. There isn't much seasoning if any on the burger so you taste the beef. The sweet potato fries were really good. They are made from fresh potatoes and are delicious. Finally, you definitely get your moneys worth. You will not find a burger for this price so it is definitely worth it! Stop by and try it.

However, we felt like our food was just OK. We got the calamari and there wasn't anything unique about it, but it was good. My Caesar salad was a little odd. It did not taste like Cesar at all. The lasagna was just ok. We were quite disappointed in the chicken fried steak. It did not seem like it was seasoned at all, the batter was very bland and unfortunately, adding salt and pepper didn't do much because it would've been better if the batter itself was seasoned. I would return to this location, but maybe not have my hopes up so much to have a good meal. The prices are fair for what you get.

We could hear how he spoke to other customers too. We did actually get our water refilled from one of the other staff. The server didn't offer us any dessert. We felt rushed to leave. One guest asked for dessert and he said they one had one type of dessert. The staff at the hotel wasn't friendly either. We stopped by to look around and not one person spoke to us. We left and went to Must Be Heaven for dessert. We should've gone there for lunch but we wanted to support another local business.

I had read about this place and has been wanting to try it for some time. Our whole group agreed it was worth the trip. As it was after 1:00, the place wasn't too busy. The weather was nice outside and they do have plenty of outdoor seating but we didn't see much in the shade so we opted to order and take up one of the big spool tables near the bar. Our food orders came out pretty fast and everyone enjoyed what they had. I got the smoked chicken sandwich with grilled onions and fries on the side. It was very good, the chicken was so juicy and flavorful. Fries were done just right. It wouldn't be a proper review without mentioning that the interior is really nice, a mix of old architecture with lots of bling in the stuff they sell. If you have ever wanted Texas themed beer can art, this is the place to shop! I would really like to come back here on my next trip through Brenham. Best of luck to the owners
