    In Between Burger

    First time here, definitely a historical joint. Be prepared to wait, but that's part of the experience. It took about 20 minutes for them to take our order in 25 minutes to bring it to our table, but again, not an issue. I had the In-Between burger, which was pretty decent and good value, even though they've had to increase prices. I ordered the onion rings, but they ran out so we tried the fries, which were excellent. I also tried a couple of tater tots, but they were a tad over salted and maybe the oil temperature could've been increased because they retained a little too much cooking oil. After trying the tater tots and then going back to my burger, it seemed like the salt felt a little over the top between the seasoning and the patty, the egg and the bacon, makes sense so if you're not a fan of a salty meal then you might wanna try something else on the menu. They had country music playing at a reasonable volume (I hate when other restaurants have music annoyingly loud), and everyone else in the restaurant seemed to be enjoying their meals. I would definitely go again and recommend this place if you're in downtown Bryan, Texas.

    Came to Bryan for work. I was looking for a good place to eat. I kept hearing everyone talk about Margie's. In fact, when I went into the local barbershop, the barber had one that looked delicious. I walked down the street after work and found Margie's. This place has been in business for 101 YEARS! The place smelled like heaven so the burgers had to have been good. We sat down and the polite staff came to serve us. We ordered a few burgers and one large fry for a family of four. The burgers rolled straight off the grill, piping hot and super fresh. I will tell you this, I have tried many burger places before as I travel for work. THIS BY FAR IS THE BEST BURGER I HAVE EVER HAD, PERIOD! I will be back and I will be taking one for the road tomorrow as I travel back home. God bless the town of Bryan. God bless Margie's, and God bless the staff! FIVE STARS

    101 year old griddle

    I'm not a local but I've been to Margie's multiple times and they have the best burger I've ever had in my 54 years. The Opersteny Burger is the way to go, don't let the smaller 2oz patty deter you, it is amazing. Double meat/double cheese! Lots of history, Like the 101 year old griddle they use to develop flavor. Check it out if you are in Bryan, TX or take a road trip, it's worth it!

    Chili cheese fries

    Not sure if it was just me or if I caught them on a bad day. Came in on a weekend for lunch. The place was HOT with a few fans blowing. Not sure if they have a working AC or not but I was sweating. Sat down and a server came to the table and didn't seem very interested or very customer service oriented. She seemed annoyed with us. We ordered two drinks, a beer and a canned margarita (I remember because when we asked about margaritas they said they only had cans and we noticed the frozen margarita machine behind the bar was off) and a different server came back with two beers... i tried to explain it wasn't what we ordered but we were just looked at blankly. He didn't seem to care and just shrugged. I thought it was interesting the original female server didn't serve us after taking our drink order and just stood behind the counter. Our new server, young man, was also lacking in his customer service skills. When he brought the food, I asked for ketchup and after no response, I decided to get up and go to the counter to get it myself rather than waiting another 5-10 minutes. The food was fairly good. If you don't want a greasy burger, I certainly would not recommend this place. But for a greasy bar burger, it was very flavorful. We ordered two burgers, onion rings and chili cheese fries. The burgers and fries came out quick but the onion rings came out as we took our last bites. That was frustrating. Burgers were served on paper and grease was coming through the paper, but the fries were on a plate. Overall, not sure I'll back. The experience left a bad taste in my mouth.

    Tater tots and 1/4 lb. All American Burger
    Tiffany M.

    We weren't sure what we wanted to eat and what they had in this bar when we walked in, but the waitress was very polite and professional. She acknowledged us as we sat down and took our drink order. The ambiance is that of a dive bar and everyone there looked to be having a great time and great conversations. As for parking, it is on Main Street so we parked down and walked around. We all ordered the All American cheeseburger with tater tots. The burger was very tasty!! There were no complaints at all. I definitely recommend this place if you just want a cheeseburger!

    Burgers are amazingly delicious. Service is excellent. Hats off to the cook thank you for lunch today.

    The 1/2 lb. Sexy Pimp Burger

    I have a new favorite burger place in Bryan-College Station. It's this place. It replaces my previous favorite burger joint here, Burger House. The place itself has a charming 'downtown hole-in-the-wall bar/restaurant' atmosphere. The service is quite good and very friendly. The star is the food. Just really good and simple burgers cooked right in front of you that tastes really really good. The prices are really good too. I highly recommend this place!

Garlic Burger w/ Garlic Fries- if you're a garlic fan, this was packed with a pretty strong garlicky taste. Superman w/ Garlic Fries- large and flavorful. Not too spicy from the jalapeños, but the veggies and bun balances it out. Banana Pudding- probably the best that I've ever had and I've eaten a lot. We got a combo with all garlic fries and a refillable fountain drinks. The burgers were made fresh and so juicy. The garlic fries were ridiculously delicious. The drinks were Texas made and they delicious. I loved the strawberry cream soda or the orange cream soda. Lots of different burgers and desserts to choose from. Overall, decently priced for the portions and the quality of the food. These burgers were probably the best fresh juicy burgers that we've had so far in town. We will definitely be back to try the other choices. Staff are very friendly. It was pretty busy so they gave me a heads up about waiting approximately 40mins which was ok for us cause we had time on our side. I was just happy and appreciative that they communicated that vs me just waiting forever thinking that they forgot about me. The restaurant is self order and pickup. As small as it looks on the inside, there's quite a bit tables to include a mini snack shop. There are additional tables outside too. It can get a little congested near the cashiers area. The parking lot is small and can be hard to find parking, but we scored a spot right in front. Some parked on the grass along the main road, just be careful.

We drove from Lake Somerville so it's worth the drive from anywhere!

You place your order, they make your burger and it goes from the grill to the bun. Nice and greasy like it should be. Chicken Oil has become so packed you can't move.

Old school country music playing. Creaky wooden floors. The one thing I CAN give the edge to Chicken Oil is the friendly and helpful staff! Because honestly..I've eaten at Koppe numerous times and literally every single time, the girls in the front are essentially snotty Sorority-type girls. Always different girls but always the same type. (Rude, eye rolls, zero friendly customer service). Maybe they need to hire staff based on personality and not how cute they are.
