Ok, out of 439 reviews (as of 4/20/26), only 11 people mentioned their cake, so people are really sleeping on this. Exceptions: those who called it a "must have for any foodies" (Rush G); "moist, fresh and delicious (Sue B); "fabulous: moist, smooth, and flavorful" (Stephen O); "great" (Misty D); "delicious" (Meryl B); "great" (Allison P); "insanely moist" (Sage M); "satisfyingly delicious" (Anabel B); "very moist" (Shadra W); "enjoyabe" (Misty J); and "delicious!! Man that cake was EVERYTHING. Seriously it was the best part of my meal...so moist"; (Janeisha A); and "tasted like momma made them A+" (Luai H). We liked the butter cake so much we returned to get three more slices. One for each of us (we didn't want to share) and one for a friend, who did me a favor. The people were nice, the selection was fine, the burgers were delicious, and I prefer tots to fries. We didn't like the elote bites alote, but oh well. The Diet Coke was in a big tumbler with free refills. It's a relaxed 1950s diner vibe (checkerboard floors, chrome-accented booths) without the obligatory '50s music. read more

I recently visited Hunky's and left pretty disappointed with the food overall. I ordered the double cheeseburger, fries, and strawberry cake after hearing positive things about the place, but the meal did not live up to expectations. The biggest letdown was the burger. The meat was dry, underseasoned, and lacked flavor altogether. Even with the toppings and cheese, it still tasted bland and did not have the juicy, fresh quality you would expect from a burger spot with such a strong reputation. The fries were okay but nothing memorable or standout. I also tried the strawberry cake, which was decent, but it was not enough to save the overall experience. The atmosphere was fine and the service was acceptable, but based on the food alone, I was underwhelmed and expected much better quality and flavor for the price. read more

Another delicious reason to add bishop art district to your visit list when going to Dallas. This place is a casual spot for lunch and even offers $6 margaritas which we definitely ordered (not shown). Our cashier was helpful with us being first timers and we sat down at a table then waiting for our food to be brought to us. I would 100% recommend this spot if you want a casual spot for lunch while walking around this cute spot on the outskirts of downtown dallas. The hula chicken sandwich was the perfect mix of savory and sweet while having the crunch of bacon. read more

This cute diner spot was a quick and easy choice while we were in the bishop arts district. It's nice that they have a more casual and quick option down there. The cheeseburger was loaded up with veggies, which was appreciated. The burger was like any other fast food burger in my opinion, except that I did think that it had fresher veggies on it. The service was great and he brought out some ranch upon request. read more

Love the burgers and the chicken sandwich, fries all good priced nice and made to order in nice filling portions, my one drawback is parking, this is a very busy corner but worth it read more

Monday afternoon stop, here is what we liked. * Immediate seating, order at the counter than your choice table or booth. * lots of burger options and then some other sandwiches, salads and sides available. * Fries were hot. * Burgers were a good size, the double was a good amount of meat. Was a good burger, wouldn't say great. What could of been better: * I get it, stuff happens. The AC was out so it was a bit humid and warm in there. Not holding that against them. * While the fries were hot, they needed salt. Adding it at the table isn't the same. * The corn elote bites were weird. Love some corn elote, this wasn't it. * The bottle Coke was just warm- needed to be cold. Overall a good visit and a solid burger joint , would do again. read more

The food was great as always. The menu is too big and everything looks good so you don't know what to get. The service was as the staff were very attentive. The ambiance was like that of an old school 50s hamburger joint with burgers, malts and their decor. I recommend this place. read more

Delicious quick burger stop. The employees were all very friendly and inviting as soon as we walked in. I got the Double double and it was huge and so perfectly cooked. They also have the tempura onion rings, which are my favorite, and the fried pickles were the perfect ratio of pickle to batter. My husband had the patty melt and said it was a pleasant surprise that it came on rye bread, which looked fantastic. Thanks for a great lunch! read more

This was a very tasty old fashioned hamburger. It kinda reminded me of a Sonic burger, but this one had GRASS-FED BEEF. Any burger using grass-fed, hand shaped patties are A+ with me. The restaurant was a cute diner design. The girl taking my order was nice and she answered all my questions due to it being my first time there. Oh don't let me forget to mention the Margarita. It was so good. I got a small, should have gotten the large! read more

It's a nice concept of a diner and I like how you order up front and then bring your number to the table. For my taste, the hamburger could have used a bit of extra seasoning or grease to give it a depth of flavor. It didn't quite taste like it was cooked on that well seasoned griddle like at other burger joints. A cute little little spot in a cute part of town but might try something new next time I'm in that hood. read more

Hi Kya is located in Dallas, Texas off Oak lawn. It's across from JR's. I've been coming to the area for a very long time, but I've never actually eaten here so I was very excited to try it. When I went into the location. I noticed that the restaurant had a lot of tables that hadn't been cleaned off. there was a lot of trays and not a lot of customers in the store at the time. When I ordered the guy at the register was very polite. He read me back my order and the order was very fast. I ordered a mushroom Swiss burger with a small onion ring and a small soda and that total $16.08 which was quite a bit for the small meal that I had the food was good. It wasn't anything spectacular based on the cleanliness of the dining room and the price. I probably wouldn't recommend this location not because the food wasn't good, but it was a little priced and it wasn't exactly clean. read more

It is expensive. 20$ for a burger, fries, and a soda. No tip. The restaurant is a little dirty. The one in Oak Lawn is the same, a little dirty. I don't understand. The grass fed burger was fairly tasty as well as the sweet potato fries. read more

Traditional burger joint, but what I really enjoyed was that they have a lovely kids menu for children under six. The cheeseburger was your traditional burger nothing too fancy. customer service was pleasant, professional, and timely.. The facility was clean but crowded. read more

10/10 experience, we wandered in there on date night and it truly takes you back to a sort of drive-in movie, more simplified time. I got the hot dog and onion rings and my boyfriend got the burger and it was great! The service was great, they were very busy but they were kind at the check out and kind when they brought the food out. They forgot my brownie and brought it quickly, no fuss. I have no complaints! Please go the next time you are on that side of town. read more

I visited Hunky's earlier this month. I ordered a mushroom swiss burger with a turkey patty and jalapeños, tots on the side with a beer. They brought me ranch dressing for my tater tots. I don't like ranch dressing so I asked for an alternative. They offered blue cheese. I agreed. They brought everything to the table. . When they brought blue cheese crumbles I was shocked that it wasn't blue cheese dressing. I like blue cheese so I didn't question it. I chatted with my friend and we left shortly after. I went home. About 45 min later, I got sick. I called the restaurant the next day to tell them what happened. I left a message. No one returned my called. I called again a week later to speak to a manager only to be put on hold and no one ever returned to the phone. Week 3, callagain. No one returned my call. I retuned to the store today and asked for a manager. David comes from the back. He doesn't introduce himself by his name or title. I asked his name. I told him mine, I explained the situation. He asked me when it happened, did anyone else get sick and then started to tell me how tricky blue cheese dressing is which is why he doesn't order it. He tells me there's nothing else he can do because no one else has gotten sick. He hadn't heard of anyone else getting sick. I told him that wasn't my concern if someone else got sick or not, I did. He asked for my receipt. I showed him the charge from that day. He said,well what do you want me to do? Uhm, you're the manager, you tell me how you can rectify the situation. He said, I can't refund you because you don't have your receipt. I can make you another burger. I agreed. I told him my order, same as before. When the order was completed the server was calling out the order but I didn't think it was mine. He kept saying double mushroom swisss to other customers. He finally got to me and I told him that's not what I ordered. I repeated what I ordered he said it was a double. I said I didn't ask for that but ok. Thanks and left. Considering I got sick and this was a "makeup burger", I'd expect that the order would be correct. I've been coming here for years but starting to rethink.... Poor service and the burgers aren't as good as they used to be. read more

The hype is just that...hype. Many people told me Hunky's was a Dallas staple with amazing diner food, but most of it is not anything special in my opinion. I will say the saving grace was the onion rings which are hand battered and delicious but not worth the almost $4 for a small which is 5 rings total. We also ordered the salted Carmel shake and a salad. The salad was reminiscent of a day old salad bar salad that had been out all day with chicken that was fried in oil that was definitely used for other food items as well (tasted almost like fried fish) and the shake was runny with low quality ice cream. The staff is kind but nothing over the top and the facility was clean and well kept. All in all, nothing spectacular but will satisfy if you are hungry. read more

We came here after bishop bazaar because we were craving burgers. cute old school diner vibe. The staff is friendly and tried to get through the line quickly. They validate parking for 2 hour timeframe - you can do so by the register. They have their standard menu and have a whiteboard with other options. We got the Hunky's Texas burger with sweet potato fries and jalapeno poppers. One of our poppers was very cold but the others were good. My parents got the hotdog and fried mushrooms. They also serve beer, wine and premade cocktails which is nice. read more

Counter service burger joint. Heard good things and wanted to try. Came in around 5 pm on a Saturday. I ordered 1 cheeseburger and it took nearly 45 minutes. Additionally there was almost no bacon on the burger. Outside of that the food was great, hopefully next time service will better. read more

Burger was good. We had a cheeseburger and a mushroom Swiss burger. It was very filling. The patties are well done and do taste under seasoned. I'd say the star of our meal were the hand-dipped onion rings. I did not try any desserts since we were so full but perhaps next time! We parked along the street of bishop arts without realizing that they had parking instructions. We had to wait in line quite a bit as there was only one cashier, but service is friendly. Food came out without too long of a wait. read more

I'm a new resident of the Bishop Arts District but I've heard that this neighborhood was RADICALLY different (i.e., Less poshy) as recently as 10 years ago. Hunky's is a relic from that era, and has not appeared to make any effort to adjust their vibe to the younger, hipper, richer clientele that now habitate their neighborhood. This is 100% part of their charm. If you've grown tired of the chirpy, immaculately dressed millennials at Casablanca or Written By The Seasons, the gruff Boomer cashier at Hunky's will be a welcome change of pace. Tired of intentionally minimalist interiors interspersed with tasteful foliage at Paradiso or Lucia? The brown booths and red burger trays will fit your fancy. Can't stand paying $10 for a slice of pie at Emporium or 1 taco at Tejas? You'll love Hunky's $12.50 burger combos. Basically, Hunky's is everything that every other joint in the Bishop Arts District is not. And has pretty decent diner food to boot. Will definitely be back. read more

Now I order for the crew two double hamburgers with cheese, chilli dogs and onion rings. Well worth it. read more

Every time I've seen this place, it's always been during an event that was really busy and it was going to be at least an hour wait. I finally decided to try this place out on a Monday where there was no wait and reasonable amount of people This is actually a solid traditional hamburger place. It's not greasy, but certainly does it lack flavor. They do put the veggies on the bottom, which is a pet peeve of mine, but I forgive them on the overall experience of it. I didnt want to get anything crazy or ginormous, so I stuck with a bacon cheeseburger with tater tots. The burger is a decent size for what you get for the price. The bacon was a fairly thick slice and was well pronounced. The burger meat had a good amount of moisture, with a nice char on the edge that wasnt all around but still enjoyable when it was there. The tator tots were nice and crispy. I do enjoy me so tator tots when they are done right! read more

Good for burgers of different varieties, fries, salads, sodas, milk shakes (pricey & underwhelming), etc. In other words, the usual "American fare". Interior looks like a classic, old fashioned soda shop. menu is a decent size, some prices are moderate, some on the high side. Dining is both inside & outside. read more

First time in the Bishop's art district. This place was pretty simple but I have nothing to complain about.

Touring the area at lunch time and my family and I decided to stop at Hunky's. This was my first visit so I was not prepared. The lunch special was a mushroom and Swiss with fries and a drink. Wasn't sure if I would like it but the pictures on Yelp helped me make up my mind. You walk up to the front door to place your order. The guy was friendly and answered my questions. Right in front of you is a bunch of cakes that look delicious! The restaurant has a diner feel to it and was really cute. Overall I will say this place was good. Traditional burger and fries place that will fill you up. read more

Stopped in here for a quick lunch before heading home. Very friendly staff and very clean location. I ordered the Hula Burger with onion rings and Jalapeño poppers for starters. The poppers were kind of cool inside and the cheese wasn't melted. It's like they had the temp too high on the fryer. Also, my onion rings were dripping with oil. I think they just take the onion rings right out of the fryer and put them in the basket. My burger was delicious and the toppings seemed fresh. Everyone with me at the table enjoyed their food. They commented on much they loved the crunch of the tots. read more
