    Drove an hour to meet family at the Burger Barn. They drove an hour from Laredo. We were the first ones there. My 2 grandsons, there grandmother, my brother, his wife and two sons and my sister and nephew. I was order 4 of 4. I got the Lucy burger, my favorite. My sister and brother ordered the same burger. The Lucy takes longer to make. After the first 3 orders came out I went to wait for mine. I waited 15 minutes. I went to the counter to ask about my order. Amanda went to the back and 5 minutes later she said my order was being worked on and would be out soon. I told her if had not been started to cancel my order as my family was done with their meals. She reiterated that it would be out soon. I waited another 5-10 minutes and finally the cook brought food to the window. Just not mine. Order number 6. After waiting a little less than an hour I asked Amanda again and if it has not been started to please cancel. She said being my family was done maybe I want my order to go. No, I do not want to travel an hour to eat a soggy burger but thank you. She said, "we don't give refunds". I left. I guess they lost a customer and I will NOT tip anymore before being served.

    Fried pickles and a couple of good beers

    Always a great experience when I come over. Only thing I can say is it is pricy, but the atmosphere is good the place is clean! It's a great hang out spot! I will definitely be coming back! Shout out to the chef for the yummy food!

    Don't believe it. I didn't receive a receipt. They won't text back.

    Food is pricey but consistently good. Service is about what you'd expect in this town, not bad but not great. My only complaint is that they have a sign that states if you don't get a receipt to text the number posted. On one occasion I did not receive a receipt. So I texted the number. I never received. Response. So I called the number, then I received a text response of "can't talk right now". I kept following up with texts. Finally they blocked my number. I was a loyal Customer but have not been back since.

    This is such a great little hangout place. The burgers are delish!!! Super original. They have a great menu with so much variety. Sorry about the pics. Plates were started by the time I decided to post. But very well served baskets.

    Cheeseburger grilled onions, with side of onion rings and fries.

    I'm a truck driver passing through, I called ahead for my order and it was delicious.

    Fish sandwich and hot dog

    I waited in line 15 minutes to place my order. I placed my order that was asked to pull to the side. 45 minutes later I still did not have my hotdog and fish. They said they fill the to go orders first. When she finally brought out my meal, I specifically asked if my side of ketchup and ranch was in the bag which he said yes. Of course it was not there; no napkins or anything else colluding the $.90 piece of cheese that did not make it onto the fish. I was in that parking lot for over an hour. Food was good.

    Bean and bacon Burger combo!
    Charlie W.

    Very good burgers for the area! I almost stopped at DQ but saw this place and decided to try it instead. I was impressed with it being in a small town. I had the bean and bacon burger at $5.89 and made it a combo for $2.69 more. I was very satisfied with my meal and the size of the burger. The meat was good and the bacon super crispy. Fries were good as well and served in the perfect amount. Very good, I would definitely recommend to anyone in the area. Fun environment! Come here instead of Whataburger or DQ ya'll!

    Sure it's out of the way, but this is an excellent burger. It is well worth the trip to eat delicious Texas food!

    Cute decor.  Food smells great!

    In town on a hunting trip, this place was recommended as a local spot for a good but large meal…read more It is definitely a unique place, you wouldn't think much of it from the outside and walking in the old and worn out look might turn some people off but that's part of what gives this place character. The staff is welcoming (Dog was pretty awesome), there's live music (you can join them up onstage), and the food was good. You'll have to try the 16oz T-bone, is quite a site to see and is good. You'll end up going straight to the ER after that load of food, but the place is a must go, for the experience, when you're in town. I have it 4 stars 'cause there aren't half stars and a three wouldn't do the place justice.

    Horrible experience! Stay away!…read more The "restaurant" is rundown and filthy. More of an abandoned building with a dirty kitchen in it. All the chairs were broken and it looked like no one had cleaned in about 40 years. Customers were walking in and out of the kitchen to get their own food and beers. Any reasonable health inspector would shut this place down in a heartbeat. The service was awful. It took over an hour and a half for the "waiter" to take our order. By this time they had run out of most of the items on the menu. The waiter was incredibly rude and lacked good hygiene. 2 hrs later we got our cold bland food, for which we were over charged by about $20. I'd rather eat at the local gas station than this dump any day.

    I'm parked across the street doing my reset, and this is one of my favorite truck stops when I'm…read moregoing to Laredo, so I decided to walk across and have supper last night.. They also have truck parking next to the restaurant that not a lot of people realize. I walked in and was greeted immediately by very nice and professional staff. But of course if you know me, you know I chose to sit at the bar. They were playing some soccer game on the TV. I don't watch sports so doesn't matter to me what's on the TV. My bartender greeted me IMMEDIATELY and took my drink order, and gave me a menu. This guy was on his game! Very attentive, engaged in banter. Couldn't be happier with my bar experience all together. I'm on a no-carb kick, so It can be challenging sometimes to find carb-free options at Mexican restaurants, since all the good stuff and fun stuff to eat like tortillas, rice, beans, and other fried dishes are plentiful. But I noticed they had a Molcajete! (For those don't know what that is, it's essentially a bowl carved out of volcano rock, and then heated up with various meats and other ingredients, served SUPER HOT). My molcajete came with pretty good size shrimp, beef, chicken, couple slices of mozzarella type cheese, pico and other stuff in the bottom. The bartender asked me if I wanted to substitute my rice and beans for avocado and pico, which I did. I ate my avocado and put the pico into my molcajete. I am a faithful consumer of tajin, and tapatio. BUT They didn't have tap! They only have Cholula. The bartender told me he keeps requesting it, but never gets it, so cholulah it was. My molcajete was super hot, boiling like it should be, really flavorful. All together really good. I did notice The Rock wasn't as deep as other Mexican restaurants I've been to that served it, and didn't have a couple other little things in it that other Mexican restaurants too, but it was still good nonetheless and a perfect portion size for me. I didn't realize they close at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday because I planned on having supper there again tonight, so I will be stopping in the next time I come down to this part of Texas!
