    Outside of restaurant
    Cliff B.

    I found Salas Better Burger to be overrated by enthusiastic fans. The burger was good but comparable to What-A-Burger in size and taste. The patty is much thinner than the pictures on the menu suggest. The other ingredients and bun were very good. So while the burger IS good, it is not gourmet nor exceptional, but fairly normal for fast food. The regular fries were a disappointment, substandard and soggy. If I return I will try the curly fries or tater tots and hope they're better. Other reviewers seem to like those. The restaurant is a local business with a 37 year history. They have many loyal local fans. The building may not have been updated in all those years. It doesn't have any curb appeal. If I were the owner and wanted to continue at this location I would add a couple of potted plants and antiques and take advantage of the small town mom and pop shop feel. The employee who took my order was friendly and competent. Based on my visit, you should be prepared to wait a while for your meal to be prepared. The drink station had typical soda pop selections, and iced tea made from concentrate (not fresh brewed). The outdoor seating is one picnic table right outside the front door under a roof (you'll be thankful for that as the Summer heat is exceptionally hot). The indoor dining air conditioned room has two sections: there is an additional room in the back painted pink. I do believe in supporting local businesses, so I will return. They are good but there is room for improvement. Their prices are comparable or better than their chain competition.

    So far this place is 3.75 stars out of 5 stars. Location 4 stars. I took my order to go. Enough parking, open space inside place was chill not hot specially with all this heat. Place was empty. Customer service 4 stars. Person took my order over phone was nice but did miss double cheese. Person at register no concerns. Little bit chat or smile would have make it better. Food 3.5 stars. Disappointed in portion size of large fries. Fresh cut fries are always better, that what we had. I was told later from coworker they have a jumbo serving. Burgers don't look appetizing due to lettuce. Also meat was dry over cooked. I am sure that can we fixed by requesting medium rare. Yes, i will visit this place again. I would love to try onion Rings.

    Lived in Del Rio from 1999 - 2002. It has been awhile since I've been here. So glad I made the trip! Burger and French fries were fresh and hot. Burger big and great taste. Fries were big and meaty. Due to coronavirus utilizing curbside service. Two young ladies coming out to your vehicle to take your order. They were friendly and professional Great food and great service!

    The best in all of Del Rio Tx.

    If you love greasy fries this is the place. In the future I will have to start requesting that cooks not burn patties.

    Ate here for the first time ever. Ok, I really want this…read moreplace to be successful. I love family run businesses especially restaurants. So this is my honest opinion hoping you don't get offended. The fries are horrible. Honestly, worst fries I've ever had in my life. They were hot and soggy. No snap or crips whatsoever. To make matters worse, they were served smashed onto the chicken. The fries need a complete overhaul and if folks are telling you they are amazing, they are lying to you. This smashing down these soggy fries into your chicken is the worst possible way to serve them. Onto the chicken, I know you say you have your own special seasoning in the flour. I tasted nothing but flour, lots & lots of salt, & water. You really need to add more seasoning to this batter and bring more flavors into this chicken. I would also recommend having a beef talo options as I feel this would greatly improve on your chicken. I would also recommend yall stop using the "ready in 30 minutes" line. It seems everyone is having this issue including myself. Was told 30 minutes and waited for 55. Again, want to see this place succeed and grow, but the hype I read on line does not even come close to the reality of the food here.

    I rated this a two because the food was alright the fries were not very good they were oily and not…read morecrispy why so ever there was no salt no other seasoning do not recommend the fries. The tenders were alright I only say that because I think they cook there tenders in the same oil they cook there fish so it has this fishy taste but overall not much flavor. Service was fine you could kind of compare it to a food truck. The ambiance was nice it reminded me of like and old school lunch place.
