    Ever picked up a burger, took the first bite, and it was so good you forgot to breathe until it was gone? Me too. Literally, just now. On New Year's Eve, I saw the Rowdy T Burger Stop was open for lunch, so naturally, I had to swing by. Nestled in the tiny town of Italy, just south of Waxahachie, TX, this joint is more than just a café, it's burger nirvana. They serve burgers so fresh, I swear if they were any fresher, a good vet could get them mooing again. The interior is decorated with an eclectic mix of checkered tablecloths and old-timey signs, which makes sense because I'm pretty sure it's in an old gas station. I ordered a regular cheeseburger, all the way, with jalapeños and bacon. And when I say "regular," I mean anything but. These aren't your run-of-the-mill, pre-formed patties. I like to imagine Ruth, a cook in the back, grabbing a chunk of beef and hand-forming it into a glorious patty, then smashing it on the griddle to create that perfect char. Probably not true, but that's my story, and I'm sticking to it. By the time I took that first bite, I was in burger bliss. Didn't even realize I'd eaten the whole thing until I looked down and saw an empty checkboard-lined basket, littered with juices from the burger, staring back at me. If that's not a testament to how good it was, I don't know what is. Don't sleep on this place. If you are nearby, you owe it to yourself to drop in and enjoy one of the better burgers around. On the day I visited, they were offering up a special of 'Cowboy Beans' with cornbread. I would have liked to try a small side of those, but they didn't offer that up. Seems like a real opportunity missed for them. I couldn't down another full meal, but I could have tore up a small side of those, I bet.

    Wow! We have driven by this place dozens of times and always talked about stopping by and trying it out. Today, we drove the twenty miles from our home to try it. I hate to write this because they may be discovered by others and I will loose my new FAVORITE HAMBURGER spot. Ok, nestle in an old gas station from the 50 is a jewel of a restaurant. The burgers are huge, juicy and flavored and cooked just right. They come on a bun branded with their initials just full of flavor and loaded with fresh vegetables. I was in love at first bite. The service is down home good, friendly and warm. The decor of the restaurant speaks to what they sell ... prized BEEF! A warm and country atmosphere, clean and inviting. They have outdoor seating in what used to be the gas pumps filling area. The onion rings were tasty as were the home cut fries. The fries could have been a tad crispier, and hotter. The ice tea is made with their local (Italy) water, not the best. I would recommend they invest in a water filtration system. All in all a great find. My wife and my sister both loved their burgers as well. I'll be making many trips to Italy (TX).

    Burger and hand cut fries!

    So, we were heading back to Dallas from the South for work and our group was hungry so we decided…read moreto check this place out. We were first skeptical since it was in a gas station but we really did not have much of a choice. Upon entering, it was a gift store wonderland. We were greeted by really nice goodies so we ended up picking up some. Then we headed over to the restaurant. The guy made my husband try a slice of the brisket but it really did not taste extraordinary so he ended up getting a small size of it with a drizzle of habanero sauce. I ended up getting the veggie plate. When it was time to eat, the brisket melted in my mouth. The small slab of taste test he gave us did not do the brisket justice. My husband said it was the best brisket he's ever had. The sides are also made with so much love and seasoning. The Mac and cheese was just so delicious, the mushrooms was good too and so is the mashed potatoes and the green beans. I am not really sure if there is anything that isn't good coming out of their kitchen. Afterwards, I got some chocolates and some chocolate wine to go. We enjoyed this place and we highly recommend it! This place deserves so much recognition because the employees put a lot of pride in their work. P.S no photos because we devoured our food.

    Pops Burger has that classic American diner look that I really liked. Red and black seats, wooden…read moretables, old license plates, vintage stuff everywhere, and those colorful lights across the ceiling. It has a little bit of everything going on. The whole place felt bright, fun, and very old-school. The lady at the front was super nice and sweet too. I ordered the Pops Double Combo with American cheese, ketchup, pickles, and onions. The burger was really good. The patties were tender and full of that familiar grilled beef flavor, with a nice little char around the edges. The American cheese melted right into the meat and gave it that creamy, salty flavor that just belongs on a classic burger. The pickles added a sharp little crunch, while the onions brought a bit of sweetness. Just tasted like a really good old-fashioned burger. The kind of flavor I recognized right away, but somehow better than I remember. The bun, beef, cheese, ketchup, pickles, and onions all worked together perfectly.

The restaurant is well-known for its root beer floats, but since we were already stuffed from our meal, we'll have to save that for our next visit. I ordered my go-to, the mushroom burger, with fries and a drink. My husband went with the "Low and Slow" burger and a side of onion rings. The onion rings were absolutely delicious--thin and crispy, exactly the way I like them! The setup is simple: you order at the register and then find a seat. The atmosphere is fantastic, like stepping back in time with all the antique objects decorating the space. I especially loved the "Elvis wall" near the women's restroom. Elvis holds a special place in my family's heart, so that was a really lovely touch. Great food and a wonderful vintage vibe. We'll definitely be back to try those floats!
