    Tasty hamburger made to order. Was happy with the quality though the burger was a bit on the dry side. Fresh red onion, iceberg lettuce and pickles with mustard. Service was quick. There are two outdoor tables but with the wind whipping up dust, I took my burger to go. I recommend this spot.

    My wife and I stopped here for a burger after our elopement at Calera Chapel. It was absolutely the best burger west of the Pecos I have ever had! We will stop here every time we are out in Far West Texas. The ladies working were so friendly and kind. You won't regret eating here!!!

    This place deserves every star! It's a cute and quaint burger place just out of Balmorrhea State Park. The Buffalo strip burger is 10/10.

    These burgers are better than those made by sonic, dq, or other local restaurants within a 50 mile radius. They are made fresh to order.

    The Water Stop - Spicy chicken sandwich

    Short - we will go back. Pleasant atmosphere, nice waitstaff, good food & cold beer. Hallelujah…read more Long - stopped in on a random Wednesday - - they were packed! It's always a good sign when the parking lot is full in the middle of the week. Got a seat inside and waited. Then waited some more. The hostess seated a 14-top and we decided that we would leave if their orders went in first. BUT finally - a waitress. Friendly, though obviously harried by the unexpected mid-week bonanza. Drinks & food order in!! Margarita for me, Dos Equis for him, chili con queso, spicy chicken sandwich as shared plates. $22 marg was ABSOLUTELY worth it. Queso was SO good, with hefty chips made just right. Spice in the chicken - yes please. Did we wait, yes. Did we mind, NO. BEST PART - the people watching was PRIME. We could've passed another round & been entertained until closing but folks were waiting for tables and i was just buzzed enough on the ONE marg. Looking forward to tomorrow when we try a burger & cheesecake.

    The Water Stop? More like a quick stop for water -- because that's about all we stayed for. As one…read moreof only a handful of larger restaurants in Marfa, we expected a much more welcoming experience, especially considering the prices geared toward tourists. Unfortunately, this establishment did not feel family friendly or kid friendly despite presenting itself that way. After waiting around 10 minutes just for someone in our party to grab menus, we were eventually served water and later had our orders taken. However, the overall attitude and repeated glares from the waitress/bartender, Gary Jean, made the experience uncomfortable and unwelcoming. Good service goes a long way, and basic kindness shouldn't feel like too much to ask. It became clear that receiving decent service was going to be more effort than it should have been, so we decided to leave before our food even arrived. To management: supporting your staff better may help improve the customer experience overall. A little hospitality can make a big difference.
