    The food was absolutely amazing, the Fat Maverick is what I eould recommend. This place is fast and absolutely delicious. I wouldnt recommend any other place other than La Chula.

    Food: the sandwiches were definitely loaded up with the toppings and it tasted good for what it was. It was soo dry though, more sauce on the sandwiches would make it easier to eat. The fries were so good though, can't complain We ordered it for pickup and it was fast, but we didn't eat inside. The vibe is alright, but definitely more of a pickup and eat at home meal. Overall, was expecting it to be tastier but wasn't super disappointed

    It was already 830pm on a Sunday and we we needed to satisfy this relentless MFing fury of a craving for burgers. All the burger joints were closing at 9. What to do? Look for options outside ATX. Yelp found us this joint in San Marcos and so glad we went. We got there a little after 9 and the place was busy as it could be. We placed our order of single burgers (they have double and triples) and they came out pretty quick. Our burgers couldn't be any better. We were craving old school, simple burgers and Fat Burgers got em. When I say they were perfect, I mean the fresh patties came with a crust on each side, well seasoned with salt and pepper, squeezed in between two brioche buns, lettuce, tomato, mustard and pickles. How is that not perfection? We also ordered some onion rings. The rings themselves seemed they were dipped into a beer better as it was super light. Whatever their dipping sauce, it was super good: creamy, ranchy and spicy. As we were finishing our meal, we decided to get some churros. Instead of getting up, we just ordered online and by the time we finished eating, VOILA, our churros were ready. We asked for them dusted with powder sugar and a chocolate dipping sauce. Don't miss this checking out this place! Kinda hidden but worth the drive south! Ohhh and check out their other creations - make sure you go hungry!

    Small little place in San Marcos with big flavor! My son wanted Philly cheesesteak, so we took a little adventure for something different. It was a little hard to find since we weren't familiar with the town, and maps were telling us to turn behind the building, but we found it, ordered, and food was out fairly quickly. There was lots of flavor and pricey for just a sandwich, but it was definitely a fun adventure for us.

    Simple. Do not give this place your money. Had been eyeing this place for a while now and for whatever reason, never made it there. We were looking for a good basic burger and seeing as how we had been eyeing this spot for a while we decided to FINALLY give it a shot. The place by itself is super small, only having 3 booths for you to dine in. The menu is pretty overwhelming. Seems like they are known more for their subs then anything else, at least that's why they were featured on Shark Tank and the Travel Channel. The menu seems like it's pretty much a carnival styled, stoner place, where they pretty much add anything and everything that looks good. Decided to keep it classy with a Classic burger with extra lettuce and pickles and a Regular burger; two patties and a single patty. To make it a combo you need to spend an extra 4$ for the fries and a fountain drink, which wasn't working. As well as, some mozzarella sticks. All for a whopping $36.00 for that amount of money "these burgers better be damn good" We opted to get it to go to where we can enjoy our meal in piece. Extra lettuce and pickles seems to be my standard to see if a restaurant is capable of .... Listening (?) When I cut into my burger I noticed no extra toppings, bummer. Thinking it could easily be saved by the quality of the burger it unfortunately was not. While mine tasted like it was more of a charburger style, tasting my girlfriends led me to believe that no it was just burnt. The fries had potential and while I felt they were Burger King style they tasted as if they were just old and stale. For the amount of money we spent on three items I was expecting something on par with Taproom however this place is just a sorry excuse to grab your money and provide you with a disappointing experience. Would I come here again. Yes, after everything I still would, just to try the stoner subs and to give them another chance but if you are looking for a good burger and fries well, this place is not it. Skip it and just go to In and Out. OH AND THE MOZZARELLA sticks were cold and old. Honestly do they make anything fresh here.

    - Military friendly - I had been waiting to catch this place because they were temporarily closed, WELL WORTH THE WAIT! Didn't even make the to-go order out the door, I had to try it. Sensational doesn't do it justice. Can't wait to try the rest that I ordered but I won't put my fat shack-ness out there

    Definitely was intrigued by the menu, but stuck with a cheeseburger and fries. Absolutely yummy! Will be back to try the more creative items on the menu!

    Half buffalo, half lemon pepper wings, single with cheese fries, fried pickle spears, and Sm (6") Fat Shack add Mac n cheese.

    Came here one day and had to bring the wife back to try it herself. Brother gave the wings a 10/10 when we came the first time so had to try them this time, along with some other items on the menu!

    The food was average, but their dessert was not coated in the appropriate batter. Deep fried Oreos we're chewy? No thank you.

    This is a review of one particular sandwich, namely their veggie burger (which I got with sweet…read morepotato fries). So all of Hat Creek's meat options are delicious, and it turns out that... their veggie burger is as well! The patty is a black bean and quinoa patty with the normal burger fixings of lettuce, tomato, onion, and mustard. It doesn't try to match the flavor of a beef or turkey burger, but rather lets the beans and quinoa do the incredibly tasty work of making it good. This does mean that the patty doesn't hold the texture quite as well as a beef patty does... but who cares, since it's *delicious.* The sweet potato fries were also lovely, crisp, and just sweet enough that they went perfectly with the burger. Service was prompt and friendly and the only nitpick is that they forgot to include ketchup, but given how good the fries were on their own, that's *fine.* All told, wonderful food and a great vegetarian option..

    When Mr R got his diagnosis and I contacted a few of his favorite local places about a couple…read moreingredients, Hat Creek was the fastest and friendliest reply I got which greatly endears them to me. 4pm on a weekday we hit their drive through for his black bean/quinoa burger, my pretzel jack, a soda, and some sweet potato fries to share. That combo and a sandwich was under $30 after tax, which felt great for the indulgent, tasty meal that we enjoyed. Needed a recovery nap, it was great. Single error was not including the ketchup he requested, which I share only in the interest of transparency. I mean, in my house ketchup is to make mid to poor fries tolerable and Hat Creek's sweet potato fries are great. Their good service and quality groceries continue, so will our visits will too.
