MAC-IES - Burgers Near Me - Galveston, Texas

So Mac-ies is a stationary food truck. They are adjacent to the Galveston Bagel Company. Upon speaking with the person taking our order, I found out that both establishments are owned by the same person. There is outdoor seating but if you want to dine indoors, you are welcome to do so in the bagel shop even after the bagel shop closes at 2pm. We've been here twice and the first time we ate in the bagel shop (it was chilly outside). Nothing fancy. Nice and clean and a decent amount of seating. 2nd time, we took it to go. We ordered the "Brown Bag Special" (pic attached) both times which is only available from 2pm-5pm daily )believe they're closed on Sundays). It is only $10 and includes a single smash burger, a small fry, a chocolate chip cookie and a can of soda/fountain drink. Food: Let me tell you that this is one of my favorite burgers of all time. I got it with cheddar cheese, pickles, mustard and bbq sauce. Delicious! The fries and the cookie were also good. The first time I came, I opted for the fountain drink. I don't know if this was a one-off, but it was awful. Sickeningly sweet. I ended up throwing it away. Second time, I chose the canned soda (coke). This is one of the best values that I have encountered in a long time. I suggest that you eat it here. My to-go order was good but I really enjoyed it hot and fresh off the griddle. Full disclosure, when I got it to go, I did take it all the way back to the West End (about a 25 minute drive). I really recommend that you give this place a try. They have another a newer location on Broadway, but the reviews I read, prefers this location over the Broadway location. Service here was good and friendly. read more

I'm a sucker for smashed. Very solid Galveston smashed burger. Flavorful and juicy patties with rich melty cheese. Fries are also well done with an enjoyable fry sauce. Has a nice round the corner burger shack kinda vibe. Also good bagel shop inside. Close drive from the Bryan Museum which I also recommend checking out. read more

MAC-IES - Single Mac - Burgers Near Me - Galveston, Texas

First you have to know that the Galveston Bagel company in which Mac-ies shares a space is also so freaking good!! Their bagels are fresh and you can get an amazing breakfast here as well some amazing sounding lunches. But let's get to Mac-ies. I've had the burgers and the chicken tenders, fries and seasoned waffle fries. Fries are fresh, hot and the right kind of crisp. Burgers are juicy af and delicious. Tenders are quality, not the grisly bs w more breading than meat. There's indoor seating that's 69 degrees to cool you off or a covered patio on nicer days. FYI, there is also a Mac-ies on Broadway in an old sonic, I haven't been to that one but I'm told it's burgers only. The people that work here(bagel and Mac-it's) are friendly and nice to talk to. This place is worth checking out! read more

MAC-IES - 3 piece chicken tender meal - Burgers Near Me - Galveston, Texas

I am writing my review about the location on Broadway. It is absolutely awful. I've been there three times now thinking that it was just a bad day. Every time I enter the people are not very nice. They actually kind of ignore you until they're ready to help you. Here is a tip: Say "Hi, thanks for coming in. I'll be with you in just one moment." Service is very slow. There really isn't "service". There's only an order taker. They need to learn how important great customer service is to the overall guest experience! The hamburger was overcooked, but the flavor was actually pretty good. However, the french fries at this location are extremely over seasoned, the sauce is not the same as the sauce at theTremont St. location either. Consistency of the brand should be something that this business should strive for if they're going to be successful in the long run read more

Customer service A1! As soon as you step in the door they make you feel welcome. They went over the menu. Very kindhearted people. The burger was one of the best I ever had. The onion fries and French fries were 10/10. It's a cool vibe. The outdoor seating was pleasant thanks to the fans and the machine that lets you know when your order is ready read more

I got the single patty with lettuce, tomato, onions, american cheese, pickles, & mac sauce on Texas toast. It was a fine burger, but nothing life changing. The fries and Mac sauce were pretty good and well seasoned. You could tell the fries were freshly made. I got all this plus a drink for $15 which was alright. read more

MAC-IES - Burgers Near Me - Galveston, Texas

One of my favorite burger spots in Galveston without a doubt! Macies is a food truck nestled outside the Galveston Bagel Company with outdoor patio seating or indoor seating in the bagel company storefront itself. The food is reasonably priced but delicious. I'd recommend the double Mac (I personally feel that the single smash patty isn't enough meat), and my go-to toppings are tomato, spinach, Gouda, and Mac sauce. Fries are skinny and always crunchy and seasoned with what tastes like Slap ya Mama. Brown bag special also comes with a cookie, which was soft and chewy but seemed store-bought (I still appreciated this addition to this cheap meal option though). Side note: I've had multiple experiences with a woman at the register with an attitude. Despite this, I love the food and affordability so much that I still come back and would recommend this business to friends! read more

The new Mac-ies on Broadway has a thick 1/4 lb hotdog with lots of toppings. You get to choose four of them at no additional charge. Then there's a small charge for any additional fixings you might like to add. I had a hotdog with onions, fantastic pickles, pepperoncinis, and sliced tomatoes. I added some mustard. I must say it is delicious. The fries were hot and crispy. Just the way I love them. The hot dog is so big I'm taking half of it home for later. Move over "Local Dogs". We've been there twice only to be disappointed by a hotdog that's about as big as your finger and soggy fries. Mac-it's kitchen is spotless. You can eat indoors or out. We chose to eat at the counter where we got to meet a lot of the staff who is super friendly (especially Judy and Cassandra). The ambience and the makeover of what used to be a Sonic restaurant it's great too. read more

This was my first time having a smash burger. I thought it was soooo good. I wasn't terribly hungry, so I opted for the singly patty with cheese and added bacon. The bun was fresh and soft. The meat was seasoned well. I also enjoyed the fries, and their house sauce. They were steadily busy, but service was friendly and fast. We sat outside and enjoyed the casual atmosphere. read more

Cutest smash burger spot there is in Galveston, Texas! My friends and I stopped here after a cruise, before we headed to Houston, and OMG!!! The burgers were everything and then some! The restaurant is also connected to a bakery, which is the cutest thing ever, but it also has an outdoor seating area! The service was pretty awesome and fast! The burgers were so fresh and delicious! I also enjoyed being able to sit in their outdoor area and see the cool decor that they had while enjoying my food! Will return if I'm ever in the area again! read more

Broadway location: Delicious, fresh and enough to split. Husband and I split the single, a small order of fries and a drink. All for under $20! We dined in, everything was served piping hot. The bun to meat ratio is perfect. We'll go back for a milkshake and hot dog! Glad to see they've expanded to this Broadway location. 9/13/25 went back today to try the hotdog! Husband opted to repeat the excellent burger experience. Hot dog was served open faced, too much to fold and cram in my mouth. I did get the chili cheese Mayo & mustard as my toppings though. Really good and so much u couldn't finish it all. Husband also tried the chocolate milkshake. Very thick and heavy! I think I'll stick with the burger in the future. Here's an idea how about y'all add bleu cheese crumbles as a topping?! Oh and work on the dispenser water, it tastes salty?? Otherwise, all good! Keep up the great work! read more

Stopped in for a burger and was not disappointed! The smash patty was flat and crispy-edged, yet tender. Love the selection of toppings- something for everyone! The fries have a good crunch and seasoned well, with or without the yummy fry sauce. Even better.... when you go for your drink next door, you can pick up bagels for the next morning. I did. read more

MAC-IES - Fries and smash burger - Burgers Near Me - Galveston, Texas

This place was awesome! At first glance it didn't look like much, and appeared to be just outside seating (not much fun in summer heat!), but they share an indoor space with a bagel place with lots of booths where you can enjoy your meal. The menu is pretty basic and they have limited offerings. Don't let this deter you though. They do their job very well! And very quickly. A single Mac meal came with a very generous portion of fries and a drink. I was torn between a smash burger and chicken strips which i noticed a little too late. (Next time!!! :)) The fries had been sitting for a while, but they were still okay. I'm guessing it takes longer for the fries to cook than it does the burgers, and they just have to make them in advance. Will definitely be back! read more

Unlike my first visit, this was horrible. I phoned in an order and I could not understand a word she said. Finally just said what I wanted. Got there and she had never placed the order. I told her 3-4 time I wanted fries. Guess what. NO fries. Plus the lady was very snarky and rude. Order online if possible. read more

Great place for crispy but juicy smashburgers. Lots of fresh toppings to choose from. Crispy shoestring fries, just how you like 'em. Cold drinks, including beer and wine.

You can get a double burger loaded with toppings, a generous portion of fries, and a cold bottle of Budweiser for $20. read more

After so many years vacant it was nice to see a new business move in. My delight is in how nice of a business it is. My wife and I went for lunch today and couldn't be happier. The service was top notch and managers were busy making sure everyone was taken care of and satisfied. I still haven't discussed the food...it was great. Properly cooked and dressed as I wanted it; the choices for toppings were extensive. The fries were tasty and crispy. The burger (double) was huge and I needed to eat it with a fork and knife. Well, I could only eat half...the same with the fries. Fortunately take away boxes were promptly provided. Overall a very pleasant experience with great people and good food. Y'all better get ya some soon! read more

When I am on the island and I want burgers and fries, Macies is the place, no questions asked! The burgers are always hot, crispy, and dripping with goodness. I am in love with the Macies sauce and usually confiscate what my wife and kids have so I can drown my fries in it. read more

Burgers are worth it! I got a single smash patty with the freshest veggies I've had on a burger. The fluffy bun was something I've never had before and completed the burger nicely.

MAC-IES - Single smash patty with American cheese, LTOP and small fries. - Burgers Near Me - Galveston, Texas

I popped into Mac-ies today for lunch. This place seems to be in a bit of disarray: Half the staff were standing around doing nothing, socializing with each other. The AC units inside on the wall weren't just blowing moist air, but dripping ice cold water directly onto the tables and customers below. Half the drinks in the self-serve dispenser were out, as well as the sweet tea. I ordered a double smash burger with all the fixin's and a small fry. It took over 20 minutes for the kitchen to realize they'd overlooked my order. I was 1 of 4 customers there...! Thankfully, they were nice enough to recook it fresh and apologize after about 15 more minutes. So, after almost 45 minutes, I was finally out the door with a slightly above average burger and fries. Based on the service and quality I received today, I'm assuming Mac-ies is operating with new staff who are still trying to get into the swing of things. I'm hoping when I return, they'll have things ironed out and in ship shape. Until then, just beware. read more

Best smash burger ever!!! Oh and the shoe string fries are awesome! Love the sauce they serve with the meal. I'm ruined!

I had a fun time trying MAC-IES. One of my friends gave it very high praises, so it has been on my must-try list for a while. I got a double burger and fries and honestly the portions are HUGE and you really get the bang for your buck. Burgers are also hugely customizable, which makes it fun and personal. The one down side about my burger was that the bread to meat ratio was a bit too high for me- I felt like I was eating mostly bun in every bite, but I also could have just gotten unlucky. Overall, it's a fun spot to hangout and get good food on the island and I will definitely be back. read more

Holy smokes - RUN to Mac-ies! RUN! You will not be disappointed. It's the perfect smash burger! So simple and so delicious. There's a delicate balance between bland and classic and boy does Mac-ies do it right! Their setup is solid. There's a truck with a bar that you walk up to and order. The menus are laminated and so easy to read with a simple menu - how many patties do you want? What toppings? Special sauce? DONE! Fries - large or small. Drinks: check. That's it! Then, you wait all of 5 mins and BAM your food is out! ... and delivered with a smile. They don't just call your name, the owner hand delivers your food with genuine pride. True island hospitality at it's finest! Want more? Let's talk decor. The outside is clean and there's plenty of bar seating or picnic table seating without being crowded or "elbow to elbow" with a neighbor. If you prefer AC, go inside and I DARE you not to snag a bagel to-go while you wait. Try to resist - you can't. (; the interior is seriously SO clean! The tables are bussed promptly, floor & walls & counters are all clean. Staff inside are just as friendly as outside. Trust me, go check it out!! read more

The food is great and we normally love, but the lady working on 11/23 was so rude and looked like she did not want to be there. It really affected our experience negatively. She kept leaving her stand and people were always waiting around. She also directed my husband to order inside- she didn't want to take his order outside and he had to come back out to finally order. So strange. Very inconvenient and uncomfortable. read more

As cliche as this sounds, if I could give this place 20 stars, I would! We came to Galveston after spending several days at MD Anderson, it was great to get away and relax after a not-so-fun trip to MDA. :-) One day I was napping during lunch and my husband went out for a bite. He brought back a burger from this place for me and I was hooked after bite number one! And that's a to-go burger! You know they are never quite as good as they are if you eat them fresh. I told him I had to have one in person before we left. We pulled up right at 2pm on Sunday, not knowing they closed at 2. The owner saw us parking and left the grill on for us. How many times have you been told, "sorry, we close in five minutes?" He did not even say anything about them closing until we asked much later. Y'all, theses burgers are freaking amazing!! We are leaving Galveston tomorrow and we want one more before we leave...that'll make THREE times we've had them in the five days we're here. The edges of the patties are so crisp, just like a perfect smash burger should be. The meat is well seasoned and the beef has a fresh and delicious flavor. All the toppings are equally fresh as well. I'm an avocado girl and hate it when you get yucky, discolored "alligator eggs." Both times I had it on my burger, and the avocado was super fresh and plentiful. Their buns are outrageously good and baked in house. And for those who said they are too "bready," you CAN remove some of the bread from the bun. I know...genius, right? And not at all hard to master...I promise. But for carb junkies like me, you will love them as is! The thing that took our yummy meal up an extra notch was Dillon, the owner. He was so engaging and just super enjoyable to talk to. We felt like we were at a friend's house for a meal. You can tell he takes so much pride in his business and it shows not only in the food, but in the whole experience. Now, if we can just get him to move to Austin, our life would be perfect. read more

After reading so often how great these burgers were, we have been looking forward to them. Finally made it over there and we were both disappointed. Counter service person was nice and we took out meal inside since it was so hot out. I'm not saying the burgers were bad but there was nothing special about them. I put my own condiments on mine to make sure they didn't just pile the mustard and mayonnaise on top of each other, which they did on my husband's. All of the pickles and tomatoes were piled on top of each other so I had to reorganize it first. Burgers looked good, just lacked flavor. I don't care for hard, skinny fries either. Had to pick thru them to find some soft enough to eat. Again, nothing horrible, just not worth going back. read more

I ordered a double patty with Gouda cheese and a medium fry through Door Dash. With a modest tip it was $30.09. It was a lot of food so if you are a regular person you only need one patty. I thought it was the smaller smash patties like Freddie's. I even got the Mac-ies sauce. The burger was good enough to be in maybe the top 20 burgers I've ever had and I've been everywhere in the US, but not spectacular. The fries have a great taste, but a medium is for two people so a large must be for an entire family. I give the lower stars bc of the price. Yes $10 of fees went to Door Dash, but $20 for a cheese burger and fries and without a drink is a little steep for TX. This was not on par as Gordon Ramsey's "Burger" in Las Vegas, but about the same price. If I do order from here again I would get the single patty and small fry for just myself. read more
