The Cowboy Burger
Margaret K.

Got a chicken nugget combo. The nuggets were more like chicken strips but not all chicken, stringy, mostly fried junk fried messy pieces. Not sure why that was. Anyway, they were fresh & hot though... Really hot, just prefer the meatier rounder nuggets! The fries are always on point and yummy. Coke Zero for the drink. Forgot to snap a picture. This time they weren't as stingy on the dips. Depends really on who waits on you. Get the app so you get credit points toward future freebies.

Big Hat Burger with jalapeños
Jessica T.

This place offers an impressive variety of customizable burgers with multiple protein options. I can't wait to return and try more! They serve three in-house sauces, each with a unique flavor, but my favorite was the honey mustard (available upon request). It was perfect for dipping my burger, tater tots, and fries. The loaded tater tots were great for sharing due to the generous portion size, though I wish they had more toppings for added flavor. That said, they were perfectly fried with an excellent crunch! I loved the Big Hat Burger with jalapeños--it delivered the perfect balance of acidity and heat, complemented beautifully by the tangy sweetness of the honey mustard. The fried pickles had great flavor but could use a bit more crunch, in my opinion. The sweet potato fries were best when served fresh, while the regular fries had a tasty seasoning that I really enjoyed. The service was fantastic--the staff was super friendly, and our four orders of burgers and fries were served quickly. Unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to check out the outdoor patio because of the cold rainy weather, but I'd love to return and explore the play area for our little one!

The Big Hat Combo

Went here for lunch on a Monday with my daughter. Burgers are delicious and toppings are fresh. We didn't care for the fries though, the texture and season were off. What I imagine shoe laces taste like. Of course the playground was a hit! I really liked the outdoor wash area too. Would certainly return

My kids love this place and the food is good. They serve burgers, chicken sandwiches, salads, chicken fingers, and fries. They also have a variety of drinks, including alcoholic beverages. They sell milkshakes of different flavors and are always clean. Their staff is also friendly and happy to help. I love that I can sit and enjoy a meal while the kids play on the enclosed playground. Great way to grab bite and have the kiddos burn some energy. They also have a catering menu.

Hamburger, Chicken Nuggets and Fries
Stefini R.

We used the drive through, outdoors has a really nice wooden play place though. They offer 3 - made in house sauces. I opted for the chicken which was real chicken and crispy with a side of fries. We also got a hamburger and a shake. All of the food was pretty good. I wouldn't say it blew me away as something that's significantly different from most places though. Its a mid level fast food joint. If you're looking for something better than your common chains, try it out!

I remembered it was nearby, so I told my boyfriend we might as well take advantage of the deal and try somewhere new while we were in the area. When we got there, the place looked renovated. There were a couple tables inside and the ordering counter was immediately on the left when you walked in. The workers at the counter were helpful while we ordered. We both ended up getting the kbbq chicken bowls. My boyfriend got the spicy version and I got the regular with added cabbage because I love the little crunch it gives. The food came out pretty quickly and we decided to eat inside. Honestly, the bowls were good and very filling for the size we ordered. It's a pretty simple meal , rice on the bottom and chicken on top ,but sometimes simple just works. While I was eating it, I kept telling my boyfriend the chicken tasted super familiar and I couldn't figure out why at first. Then it finally hit me, it tastes almost identical to the teriyaki chicken from Panda Express. And honestly, I didn't mind that at all because I actually like that flavor. So if you've had Panda Express teriyaki chicken before, that's probably the closest comparison I could give. One thing that definitely made the bowls even better was adding the soy sauce packets they had on the side. That extra flavor pulled everything together for me. Overall, I enjoyed it. It's not anything super fancy or life-changing, but it was a simple, tasty meal that didn't feel too heavy, which I personally liked. I told my boyfriend if we're ever back in the area, we'd definitely stop by again.

There are kiosk if you want to place an order, but I traditionally like to get the vibe of the workers who greet me. I went to the counter and someone immediately came to take my order. The greeting was lackluster but ok. I was really not totally familiar with the different options and I had questions. My questions were answered appropriately but really did not understand the hot and not options. I ended up getting the hot peppers on the side. The taste of the sausage with Italian beef was phenomenal. I loved the crinkle cut fries. The store was clean and well organized I will visit again.

There's nothing worse than ordering a "cooked fresh, made to order burger" and ending up with one that's barely warm. I was told, "All of our burgers are made to order," which sounds right. But when you get home after a 7-minute drive and your burger is registering 74 degrees, it definitely feels a little bamboozling. What really gets me is that my fries were hotter than the burger.And this isn't the first time it's happened either. Lately, they've been very hit or miss. I genuinely don't understand why it's so difficult to serve food that's actually hot when it's supposed to be made to order.

We wanted to get Mexican close by without overpaying, which led us to Taste of Mexico on a Friday…read moreevening. They had a steady line of takeout orders, but the restaurant itself was empty. Our food came out fairly fast. We didn't take them up on the offer, but there's a sign saying that you can sample any of their meat options. Pretty cool! For $13.99, I had the Taco Joe plate--4 street tacos with rice and beans. They were out of the chicken in black chile sauce, so I tried the beef in black chile and the bistek con chile (red pepper steak) tacos. Both were very delicious, but the black chile sauce was a standout. It was unique--and hard to pinpoint the flavors. The tacos were so substantial, I couldn't finish the plate. We also had chips and salsa with their hottest sauce, the creamy green. It was pretty hot, so be warned. My boyfriend had the torta, which was massive. It had a generous amount of avocado too, which was a nice touch. They brought out complimentary chicharrones (the vegan kind). It looks like they expanded their restaurant, but one of the employees told us that they're planning on downsizing. It's a shame, because this is a solid place for Mexican. I hope more people give it a shot.

New location to Houston area and friends of mine wanted to try and they researched and told me…read morethere are a lot in Austin. So guess they want to expand to Houston market. Located in a HEB lot off 99 and I feel the HEB helps with traffic flow. Bldg looks nice from outside and inside is new and modern looking but sorta basic nothing fancy about it. Basic front counter and 1 small menu board and 1 small drink station. But in my opinion from a business point of view too many workers. The place was busy but not swamped to have 10+ workers. But drive-thru had many cars so maybe I'm wrong. Greeted as soon as we walked in with a worker saying "welcome in" and we placed our order and asked some questions and the cashier/order taker was friendly and helpful with explaining things to us. Prices are low ($3.50 for single and $8 for a single cheese combo) but the burgers are very small...as a comparison they are the size of a Jr burger. I ordered a single cheese without knowing this and my friends ordered doubles. $30 total. On reciept they break down the order and they number the burgers so you know who gets which burger as I added items to mine. The burger comes with lettuce and 1 tomato slice and special sauce (mayo based) I added onions and pickles but did not add ketchup or mustard as I wanted to try the special sauce and see if any good. Fries are thin and have skin on and were really crunchy, the fries were the best part of my experience, the burger was just OK and too small for adult male. My friends got the doubles and said it equaled a single normal size burger you'd get at other burger places as far as how filling the double was. I would suggest ordering a double if you're an adult who's hungry. They also have banana bread which seems odd for a burger place and really good cookies. We tried the bread and cookie and both were really good and sign states fresh made daily in store. Over all good experience but portion size to small for me to go back as I prefer a good size burger

Their Chocolate shake wasn't too bad, but also didn't taste any different from shakes I had in the past, nor was my friend's burger, which I took a bite of, anything spectacular either. I felt a little ballsy and ordered an item from the secret menu: Animal-Styled fries, which consisted of American-melted cheese, grilled onions, and Thousand Island sauce. While the toppings sounded appealing, I was extremely let down by the fries; they weren't crispy at all, and they didn't have any salt. Their grilled onions were my favorite, but that's me being generous since nothing else was delivering. I also wish their cheese were more melted, since it made the fries a bit difficult to scoop. Overall, In-N-Out wasn't atrocious, but plain and overhyped best describes it. I am glad I gave it a try.

I got to the intercom and I told the employee I had a mobile order and they stated "did you go through the mobile lane" I then told her I didn't realize there was a mobile and she told me that I need to either go around or back up and go through the mobile lane. The order took at least 10 minutes or more to come out, I watched as at least 10 other cars got their orders before me, even the people behind me got their orders before me. After 10 minutes they ask me if I wouldn't mind pulling up to the front of the building and they would bring it out because the food isn't ready, I don't mind waiting however if there was going to be a wait instead of me having to drive all the around the building to go to the mobile lane, they could have easily just asked me to pull up to the front of the building in the first place. 10/10 would not recommend going to this location. This is the first bad experience I have ever had at a CFA.
