    1. JC's Classic Burger
    Ricardo J.

    We came here today looking for a good greasy burger post-Saturday night overindulgence. The atmosphere and the service were good, but to be honest, the sides were better than the burgers. The regular fries were well cooked and came out straight from the fryer. The onion rings were very peppery and the batter was delicious. The batter didn't stay on easily, but it was well worth the struggle. The spicy curly fries were perfectly cooked, and also came out piping hot. All in all, a decent experience, but not one to run back to. It is nice, however, that they have good bar and a great atmosphere, both of which are very rare in Coppell.

    Onion rings!

    Great local restaurant! Friendly staff and good food! Especially tonight the onion rings! Lots of fun's games to keep the kiddos biliary and lots of TV's to keep up to date on sports!

    The Works
    Robert C.

    Went here for lunch today and the burger was awesome. I love that the onion rings appear to be hand battered. I had the works which has mushrooms and Jalapeños on it. Very delicious and will definitely go back.

    Killer Burger
    Santanu S.

    Before arriving at the restaurant, I noticed the online menu did not have a cheeseburger. I was prepared to customize the JC's Classic by adding cheese. Fortunately, I noticed the signage for the Killer Burger, a triple-cheese bacon burger with their special sauce. When I also ordered the Nutella shake, she had to check with the kitchen first. So, I did not expect problems with my order. After a significant wait, I wondered if my shake would be delivered with my food. Just then, another employee notified me their milkshake machine was out of order. The news surprised me because the other employee had checked with the kitchen. Since I had no drink, I went back to get a refund and order a soda. After a short wait, the same employee who took my order returned to the register. She told me my credit card was not required, so I will see if a refund eventually appears on my statement. The Killer Burger was decent but also messy. Although I enjoyed the blend of the Swiss, American and Pepper Jack, the sauce hid their taste. The bacon strips would definitely please those who prefer theirs very crispy. By the time I had my last bite, half of the sauce dripped all over my hand.

    The works

    I got the works burger with jalapeño, mushrooms, bacon and American cheese well done. The burger was big. I asked for well done fries and everything came out good just like how I asked. The fries were good Service was good and location was convenient! Would come back again

    I was absolutely craving a great burger and shake for lunch and didn't want to drive too far. So I pull out the Yelp, pointed to Coppell and JC's popped up. Then jumped in the car and off I went! It was pretty easy to find in Coppell. I wasn't crowded and was early in the lunch period (around 11:20 am) I had already looked at the menu and ordered the Classic Burger w/ American cheese, fries and a chocolate shake. Paid by card (appreciated the clean pen/dirty pen process for COVID safety). Then I played Yelper and looked about the place as I waited on my order. They have a nice patio, a game room, a giant dinosaur, and LOTS of Big Screens on the walls. Tables of varying heights, a bar and lots of booths. The Bar serves adult beverages and with the near by booths, looks like a great place for an after work get together (when COVID is not an issue). The Game room looked like something kids to young adults would enjoy. My order, hmmmm. Not a big crowd, so all should be great, right? The hot food (burger and fries) came out but shake wasn't made. The counter person dumped in the shake base into the machine and was unsure how to make a shake. 3.5 minutes later, the woman in back made a chocolate shake. It was more of cold chocolate milk. The Hershey Chocolate syrup she put in was a little too much. The burger and fries were well packed. The burger was quite good and the lettuce, tomato and pickles were of good quality. The bun was fantastic! The fries were not that great. Thus 1/3 of the order was really good, 1/3 (fries) were okay and 1/3, the shake was terrible. 2 Stars may be generous.

    Nooner slider
    Trinh T.

    JC's Burger Bar is a regional burger franchise that focuses on quality burgers, shakes, and now brews. There are several locations throughout DFW & this location has a full bar. Add some TVs, great service, and you have a winning combination....on paper. My Overall Rating - 3 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - Located in a strip mall in Coppell, JC's is nice, open and clean. It's counter service, so you order at the counter, grab a seat, and wait for your order. Bonus - this location has a full bar with plenty of TVs. If JC's is trying to create an atmosphere for game day, they have succeeded. 1 Star. Service - Fantastic people here. We had a large group and even though it is counter service the staff checked on us & even refilled our drinks and beers. 1 Star. Food - I wanted to love the burgers here, but unfortunately, I only sort of liked it. I ordered the Nooner & The Works in slider form. Maybe I should have ordered the normal size burger because the patty was very thin & dry. The Nooner had a fried egg which helped give the patty some much needed moisture but both sliders were a letdown. Also, the buns for the sliders reminded me of dinner roll buns. Great at Thanksgiving but the yeast rolls weren't my taste. Next time I'll try the normal burger. 1/2 Star Will I Return? - Maybe - and if I do, I'll order one of those awesome looking shakes and a full size burger. The atmosphere & service are great so I feel a return is needed. 1/2 Star My Yelp Rating Scale (Sum of all parts): 1 Star - Atmosphere - Is it a cool dive? Perhaps an upscale place? No matter the type, atmosphere plays a big part and I'll give a star if I like it or thinks it has great charm. 1 Star - Service - You can have a great meal with bad service. But that's also what can make a five star joint drop to four. It's important to the dining experience that service is great and on point. 2 Stars - Food - I'll award up to two stars for the food, since this is the main reason we dine out. Sometimes the extra star is given for value, but it's really all about the food. 1 Star - Will I come back? - If I know for a fact I'll return, I'll give this a star. A place has to make an impression for me to return. Each Category can be given up to 1 star except food (2 stars) because I consider all these categories important to the overall dining experience. I will sum them up to provide my final Yelp score.

    Spinach Salmon Salad and onion rings
    Dana K.

    I've been to this location many times for the bar atmosphere, but this was the first time I've brought coworkers for lunch. All three of us were happy with our orders. Salad was good sized and salmon portion on top generous. Onion rings are hand dipped and always a winner here. Both burgers were cooked the way they asked and sweet potato fries cooked to a perfect crunch. Coworkers asked why I hadn't brought them here before and asked for it to be added to our lunch rotation of places to eat. It's a nice atmosphere, clean and a top notch staff. Coppell needs to hang on to this place and we'll definitely be repeat customers.

    The Nooner with Onion Rings
    Cassie B.

    The burger and onion rings are very tasty. If you want a quiet atmosphere, come around 5pm. People start coming in after 6pm. It's a nice place and they keep it very clean!

    8. Jalapeno Sausage and Cheddar Burger
    Brandon L.

    Very much enjoyed this place! Looked fairly new when I went and had a cool vibe to the whole place. Lots of TVs and a couple of outside games to enjoy. Patties are fresh, which make the burgers much more delicious. What put this place over the top for me is the fact that they had curly fries, and on top of that spicy curly fries! Not many places have curly fries nowadays. Good place if you're in the area.

    A very tasty burger but the bun to meat ratio is a bit off. Buns are big. Needs to be just a tad beefier to match.

We love a good Happy Hour, so we grabbed a hightop by the bar and ordered a couple of drinks. I got the cosmo, complete with tiny ice crystals on top, which is my favorite.

Then we split the special sandwich of the night, a sweet and spicy ribeye sandwich. This one was not my favorite.

Hubby had the half Cobb salad with grilled chicken and a bowl of tomato basil soup. He probably could have had a cup because the bowl was a very generous portion. I appreciated that the grilled chicken seemed very fresh and flavorful. We love this place and we will definitely return!

Yet, I saw a cook/chef with a fairly thick, quasi-biker beard working the line in an open kitchen in clear view of guests. Kind of ironic. I'd rather the dude making my food be clean shaven for obvious reasons. Unlikely that I return.
