Honestly was a little disappointed after reading the reviews. It was an average burger at an average price. The fries were sweet like they had a little sugar on them. The best thing was they have Big Red in the fountain drinks. read more

I wanted to like this place more, but there was nothing special. I was really excited about the homemade chips and they were my favorite thing here, but they sprinkle sugar on them and I found myself dusting them off because of this. The burgers are average. I recommend ordering a double, because they're on the thinner side. read more

very disappointed. usually i get great service and food but they were just not on top of it today.. no seasoning on the fries, ice machine and soda weren't working. lemonade tasted like lemon water. had to walk across the street to get a cold drink. they messed up an order. we ordered a burger with grilled jalapeños and onions and when we got the both weren't cooked. very upsetting. might be a while before we come back. read more

We were in the area, after a trip to the Cameron Park Zoo. Decided to stop here, turned out to be a good burger and awesome fries. The onion rings were huge! They also have some Blue Bell Ice Cream for dessert read more

If you are looking for a awesome BLT in the Waco area this is the place. I highly recommend it with an egg over hard and the homemade chips. I have been there several times over the past year and it's consistently good every time. Plenty of good crispy bacon all the way through and the chips are crunchy till the end as well. Oh yeah the burgers are good too. read more

For those of you passing through from Austin, this is the "Dan's Hamburgers" of Waco. The burgers have that freshly-made taste and isn't expensive. Employees were super friendly, and apparently there's a student/teacher discount if that applies to you. This may be our pitstop between Austin and Dallas from now on. read more

About equivalent to a in and out or a Whataburger. Decent and better than average. Fries are good but onion rings are definitely store bought and frozen. Might be fun to do the challenge and get a t shirt but not worth driving to unless you are just driving by it for something else. read more

Had a burger and fries from the food truck at MCC today. Both were excellent! Staff was really friendly, too.

For a quick burger and fries it nothing to complain about. Only suggestion would be to get some staff that was a bit more friendly and attentive! The cook is more friendly than the lady that is supposed to greet you! read more

Dave's is an amazing low price burger place. They are family friendly, offer amazing burgers and have pretty decent food portions. The homage potato chips are probably the best thing on the menu. They offer Ice cream and dessert options for the kiddos as well as local sodas on Tap. I go there regularly. read more

Great burger (Double Cheese). Really good hand cut fries. Cookie Dough shake was fantastic. Excellent burger joint!

I'm not a giant burger fan but as far as burgers go I'll give these 5 stars. That's with a fried egg on it though, a very important detail to me. Staff is usually kind of low key but hey, in my experience they consistently bring out the food in a timely fashion and that's all you need them for, you can take care of yourself from there! Overall a great place to stop in for lunch. read more

We needed a place with outdoor seating to keep an eye on our mountain bikes. Yelp has this location including outdoor seating. Perhaps someday, but not now. Its a dirty looking little building with a concrete slab and no outdoor seating. We passed without even going in. The burgers may be good, but the description isn't. read more

Best burger in the area, but the fries are ALWAYS soggy and gross. Establishment is clean (almost sterile), service is prompt and courteous. Burgers are delicious high quality, chunky beef and have tons of options. I haven't brought a single (out of very many) person that hasn't liked them. If the fries were even half decent I'd easily declare this place the best burger place I've eaten at. read more

We love Daves! These burgers are awesome! Stephanie and Trey are such hard workers too!

Paid $42 for three meals just to find a long hair in my burger. Should've taken a picture, the sweet fries were not worth finding that hair in a wrapped burger covered in melted cheese. Came on a recommendation for good food, left with an empty stomach. read more

Super slow I ordered two burgers fries and two onion rings taking 40 plus mins for food this is ridiculous won't be back

The food tasted fantastic and I can't wait to drive through Waco again to eat here in the future. Everything was fresh and was cooked perfectly. Well done Dave's Burger Barn read more

Open since 2009, Dave's is newer and cleaner than many of Waco's burger joints, and, contrary to my expectations, the relatively small dining area bears no resemblance to a barn. My burger, fries, and Blue Bell chocolate shake all were excellent. The patty was medium-sized and the bun fresh and moist. The fries were on the floppy side, in a hand-cut sort of way. They're known for the "zipper-ripper" challenge: 5 patties, 5 slices of bacon, 5 slices of cheese. read more

This little place is in a nondescript building kind of hidden off of I 35 in Waco. They had one of the best burgers I've had in a long time! The burger was big juicy and the portion was appropriate for a single. It was clear that this burger is made in house! Actually I'm not sure I could've eaten anymore! For the big eaters they have a double and a triple burger! However the real gem in this place was the fries! I don't usually eat fries but when I learned that they were homemade I had to try them! Since I never read reviews before I try a new place I did not know about the secret seasoning and I was delightfully surprised! The facilities were clean, the service was quick and efficient, and the food was reasonably priced! read more

I'm so disappointed with the wait time. We ordered for one adult and three kids and it took 30 minutes. Onion rings were cold and, even though they quickly replaced them, they were still subpar. The soda drinks didn't taste right and the sweet tea had little tea flavor. Also, while this was a good environment for kids (casual, big tables), the scraping of the chairs on the concrete was unbearable. read more

Good burger ... But the fries where real sweet:(. They add sugar to their salt! Sweet French Fries are at best strange. They told me I had to ask for no sugar on my fries? So, a major tip! Ask to hold the sugar on your fries ... I could not eat mine:( read more

Loved loved loved my burger!!! I am a very picky eater but this place was perfect! Wait time was on point, Fries seasoned just right it was perfect. Bacon and jalapeño burger was delicious. read more

I just ate there after reading all the reviews saying it was the best burger in waco. Not so much!! It was good, I've had just as good at chilis or even whataburger. The sweet potato fries were very good. The service what little there is, kinda sucked. I'll probably go back just because it's close and that's about it. read more

Needed something open on Sunday night and this hit the spot. I had the jalapeno cheeseburger and am really glad they didn't use pickled jalapenos. The fries were fresh cut and not from frozen. The food does take about 15-20 minutes to prepare though, which is awhile for burgers. Worth it. read more

Amazing little burger stop on your way to Austin or Dallas! Cheeseburger, steak fingers, fries and milkshakes are all legit. Love this place! read more

Whataburger much better. Buns too big for meat, and cold bun, can hold quite a few people. Would have rated more had they warmed buns like they say. read more

This joint is alright. They catered an event for us. The food was okay, and the service was good. It wasn't the best food around, and I could've gotten better, but it did the job. The zipper ripper was fun, and it tasted really good. The price was in the right range. read more

Food is ok average nothing to impressive the burgers were ok nothing special for the price. Onion rings were good . The building is clean and well kept. Staff is friendly. read more

Looked suspect from the outside but pretty clean, decent flavored burger joint after we thought we missed all the Waco restaurants slightly south. The burger with a splash of chili wasn't what I expected when I ordered a chili burger but was good and onion rings fresh. My buddies said their burgers we're great but one said his fries were "sweet". I'd stop again if it is still open. read more

Best burgers in town. Friendly service and fairly priced. They never mess up our order and the drink selection is awesome (different kind of sodas offered ) read more

First, let me say I love this place! Incredible burgers and fries. However, on a recent visit, I ordered something different for a change: chicken fried steak sandwich and onion rings. The sandwich was very tender, but very small. The onion rings were frozen, not homemade. I will be back - and soon - to get my greasy, old-fashioned cheeseburger and fries. They are the best! read more

Had the WORST experience there three weeks ago. Perhaps it was the wrong time to go, as they were busy, but after ordering our food for take out; it took them LITERALLY 45 minutes to get our ( one burger, fries and onion rings). The service absolutely sucked. Other customers in the restaurant came after us; ate their complete meals and just felt sorry for the two idiots STILL waiting on their food. My wife and I wanted to just leave numerous times; but quite honestly speaking, the food is incredibly good and we were just plain hungry. My wife asked for some sort of deal or something for enduring the crappy service: the young girl said she couldn't offer us anything. Sorry charley.. Dave Burger Barn got a ZERO from us that day. Ironically, we live JUST across the street from this restaurant; have eaten there many times; BUT will NEVER go back!!!! read more

First of all the sides are amazing! We tried onion rings, fries, and chips. Cooked to perfection and seasoned perfectly. The burgers are large and tasty although I thought that they lacked a little seasoning and if they would have sprinkled some of the appetizer seasoning on the burger it would have been much better. My family got cheese burgers and were very satisfied. I got a hamburger and it was not hot enough for me. The bun was cold and should have been toasted and warm. They should invest in a burger warmer. Next to fast food this place is a gem. I will order differently next time. Friendly service. Definitely worth the short trip off I-35. read more

These are good old-fashioned burgers on a toasted bun and loaded with your favorite veggies!! I had the fries (not my fav) and my husband had the onion rings. I will go with onion rings next time! I do love that the place was gleaming clean and the staff was very friendly. The average cost was $10/person. It's a little out of the way but well worth it! read more

Stopped for the wide variety menu but no salad and had to go with burger and fries. Not so happy.

Stopped by on the way to Austin. It is conveniently located just off of I-35. Burgers were delicious - sizable for how the value. The fries were interestingly sweet, which came as quite a surprise to me. A worthy stop on any road trip. read more

Stopped on the way to San Antonio... Had the bacon cheeseburger with an egg... Omgeez! Delicious! Will need to remember this stop! Yum-o!! :D read more

The burgers were really good but the service was very average. The girl at the register mixed our order up and even when my girlfriend finally got her burger it was made wrong. It was Sunday for lunch so the cashier may have just been really busy. I loved my burger though, I got the jalapeño cheese burger and my son got the tenders and we were both very satisfied. read more

Ok this is a must everyone coming though Waco needs to try this burger joint it is amazingly great... If you crave old fashion burgers this is the place. I promise you you will not regret the stop... I am stuck on it forget all the other fast food places.. read more
