However, there are kiosks you can order off of or you can order via the app, or even tableside via a QR Code. He was helpful and answered my question. I asked if the Root Beer came with free refills since it was a float and the dispenser is behind the counter. He told me the Root Beer has free refills and if I wanted more Ice Cream, there would be an additional charge. I think it is the same price as buying a cone for $0.99. I can't remember, but I remember thinking I would've just bought the cone and put the ice cream in my mug & eaten the cone. I requested the Frosty Mug. I actually thought I ordered the keepsake mug, but the total for my float was less than the cost of the mug, so I knew I wasn't keeping the mug. I truly enjoyed my Root Beer Float especially after walking up and down Main Street in Downtown Visalia for a few hours in the heat. It was smooth and delicious! I couldn't resist getting the refill on the Root Beer! I made sure to save a little ice cream from the first fill. I'm glad I stopped in for the Root Beer Float! Maybe I'll try some hot food next time!

Ordering is always fast and easy but by the time I got up to the window I had realized how many calories I had ordered and was kind of sorry that I had chosen a milkshake.

I got my tried and through number one double double animal style and regular fries. Hadn't been able to have anything here for a couple of years as we don't have one nearby but it was definitely worth the drive. I was so miserably stuffed before I even was done with my burger but they have such a good fresh taste you just can't help yourself. Fries here are either a love or hate thing and I happen to love them so with that in a giant drink with really nice ice I was a happy camper. Only wish there was one close to me so I could visit more often. And for anybody who is not familiar with In-N-Out yes the lines in the drive-through are worth it!

WRONG ordered 3 pcs tender/$13.49 fry combo $1.50 8pc chicken $13.49 fry combo $4.99 Total $36.31 For that price it doesn't sit well with me that I was unhappy about the food breading on chicken was burnt on some ends and soggy on others some of the chicken breading fell of because of how greasy the chicken is and overall didn't not taste good I gave it 4 good bites but I couldn't bare anymore. Money down the drain. I could've gone to in and out or I could have gone to McDonalds but the fact that I choose here should be a reason the food should taste good for people to come back for years to come Won't be back very disappointing..

Me and my girlfriend had been here multiple times to order food. It was a good place but now we understand why the food is so cheap. After ordering, we saw the cook proceeded to put his hand in his pants, scratch his ass, and then continue cooking. When we asked for a refund, we were informed we couldn't be refunded because the owner wasn't there. We were told he would call us back, but he never did. I don't usually leave reviews, but I created a yelp account to make sure others know about this safety hazard. Will NOT be eating here again. read more

When I got my order, it was loaded with tomatoes and had no avocado at all. That's not just an inconvenience, that's a safety issue. If you're going to offer modifications, especially allergy-related ones, they need to be taken seriously. I will say the food is usually good, which is why this was so frustrating. I'm currently waiting to hear back from them and hoping they make it right, but this definitely needs more attention on their end.

I've been coming here since I was a kid, long before I knew anything about food writing or nostalgia. Back then, it was just breakfast. Now, it's memory. Walk inside and you're greeted by a world built from the bones of The Dukes of Hazzard. Walls lined with memorabilia, old merchandise, photos, and relics from a show that celebrated mischief, grit, and Southern charm. It's not decoration, it's identity. Boss Hogs feels like the kind of place Bourdain would've wandered into on a long road trip, looked around, and said, "Yeah... this is America." For years, I stuck to the chicken fried steak, the dish that raised me. Crispy, tender, honest. The kind of breakfast that doesn't need reinvention because it already knows exactly what it is. But lately I've been exploring. An omelette one week. Dinner the next. Boss Hogs serves dinner now, and somehow it fits, hearty plates that taste like they were made by people who care more about feeding the town than impressing outsiders. Today it was corned beef. Surprisingly good corned beef, salty, warm, comforting. The kind of dish that reminds you why diners matter. They're not chasing trends. They're feeding people. And Boss Hogs feeds its people well. They've always had those little touches that tell you who they are: a variety of creamers, jams lined up like tiny offerings, toast that somehow tastes better here than anywhere else. The staff is the kind of crew you don't forget, friendly, familiar, and deeply woven into the community. Police stop in. Firefighters stop in. Locals stop in. Boss Hogs is one of those rare places where everyone is welcome, and everyone is fed like family. In a small town like Farmersville, a diner like this shouldn't be a hidden gem, but it is. People drive past without knowing what they're missing. They don't see the history on the walls, the pride in the service, or the quiet excellence in a plate of corned beef or chicken fried steak. Boss Hogs doesn't pretend to be anything fancy. It doesn't need to. It's real, and that's enough.

Only thing I don't understand is the mobile order kiosk they have next to the register/hand off plane.
