Went here prior to a World Cup game to eat and then take the shuttle in. Great food, staff is very friendly. Loved the convenience of the shuttle to the stadium. read more

It's been a couple years since I've been here. I moved to Fort Worth so don't make it to Arlington as much as I would like. I met some friends there for lunch and was surprised to see a great lunch special for 7.50$ !! Just 8 something after tax . You can choose between an angus burger, chicken sandwich, turkey burger and something else that comes with fries. I chose the Angus burger and was very satisfied with it! The spicy ghost pepper ketchup is very tasty. The service was excellent and the atmosphere is always "chill" !! read more

Love the music and the food. Fun vibe. Great service. We go often. The music is varied and always something we enjoy on the weekend. Parking is okay and they have a nice patio. I enjoy their regular menu and there are specials (not on the menu) on Sunday. The bartenders are fast and friendly and make us feel wanted. read more

An Arlington staple you just can't miss! They have a great menu, obviously burgers are a go-to. Personally I will normally choose the turkey patty if I can and they have really good fish tacos as well. I also often get salads here, and you can swap in a side salad instead of fries for a small upcharge. But their fried items like fries, onion rings, and the fried apps are top notch. They also have a full bar with reasonable prices and very friendly bartenders. Plenty of seating and several TVs around the place. It is no surprise they've been around a long time. I always have a good experience here. read more

We came for lunch and they towed our car. Landlord laughed and told us to enjoy our $320 fine.

No frills burger joint. They do have an extensive menu but will also accommodate a simple bacon cheese burger order. My friend opted for the chicken friend bacon cheeseburger and that looked like a phenomenal option. The burger patty is very thick. My bacon quality was nice and a perfect crispness. This place has a very cool old-school vibe. read more

Always great service and good food. Awesome sport bar location to watch games. Best burgers in Arlington.

This restaurant offers a nice slice of Americana. A fantastic Burger, fries and some cold beer(if you like), all at a very reasonable price. I'd visit this place regularly if I lived out here. It has a very local, friendly vibe. There are tv's to watch some sports as well. My server at the bar was friendly and prompt. Thank you very much. read more

Good burger had the one with green chiles staff was friendly, would go back prices are fair

An excellent burger restaurant, although the menu is somewhat limited. Automotive decor. Food was well prepared, great taste, if a little messy. I'll be going back when in the area read more

We got there just a few minutes before the kitchen was going to close, but they were still happy to take our order! The food was amazing!! We were glad we decided to give it a try!! read more

Oh my goodness. I came here for lunch with classmates from an executive training course. The locals were going on and on about how good it was - of course, I was skeptical. This is a converted service station. Shame on me! Terrific burger, not over cooked, and perfectly salted and crisp fries. I'm sold and look forward to taking my husband here sometime when we're together in Arlington. read more

I love the burgers here! They're always so delicious. I've been coming here since 2022 and never had any complaints about this place. This is my favorite place to go and get a burger! read more

I come here all the time and the food is always good but the bartender, Ambar A, just cut me off for singing to my favorite song as it was playing over the speakers. I am 100% sober and have had nothing to drink today. I used to cover this song in a band. Rude service! I will not come back! read more

Love this place. Food is amazing, top tier and drinks are good too. Live music is great when they play and service is always good! Recommend highly if you're in town. read more

Great spot in Arlington. They have several options of burgers and can customize a burger. I love loaded fries, so I order this. It was massive, definitely could feed 2-4 people. I barely made a dent. Fries came loaded with cheese, ground beef, bacon, jalapeños. In the seating area there is a full bar and a stage for performers I'd visit again and try 1 of the burgers read more

Moved to the area and found this cool bar with really good burgers. Outdoor seating available and plenty of TVs to catch the games. They have 14 beers on tap with other bottled beers plus liquor. They have a $5.99 burger special during lunch which can't be beat. It was so good, I came two days in a row. The chicken fried bacon burger was massive. Although I know the bacon was there it got lost from the batter. Their onion rings are my least favorite in terms of seasoning. The texture is good but it could use some seasoning. It was too bland and I can tell they used the same batter for the bacon. The burger however was seasoned well and juicy which saved it from being a boring burger. The next day I had a Swiss burger and that sucker was on point. Got the side of sweet potato waffle fries and it hit the spot. Servers from both days were friendly and attentive. I'm definitely going to be back again very soon for that special. read more

They forgot to add jalapeños in my takeout burger. Burger was nothing special. Waited 10 mins to get a burger that was missing a key ingredient. read more

Wow. First we went on a Friday, first game of the WS. What an event and what an incredible location. We grabbed a few things for dinner and order a few buckets of drinks. The meal we had the fish tacos, yes fish tacos in this location. Fresh and delicious. Not soggy and crisp in the tortilla. Salsa was good, but not spicy. We also had the chicken fried steak burger, which was good but the gravy, well was not fantastic and could do without it. It was very thin and not too thick where it would not stick to the steak on the burger. Fries were good, both sweet potato and nacho fries. For the bar, fantastic service and impeccable care. It was so good, we went back on Sunday after the Dallas game to sit down and watch the late Sunday game there. Ambiance was bar scene. It want quiet, so don't think the going for a quiet evening. It was loud and lively. Go and have some fun. read more

By far the best burger I've ever had in Texas the bun that they put it on must be some type of Hawaiian roll cause it's sweet as can be it taste incredible. The burger is fresh. It's huge comes with all the toppings. The loaded fries could be a meal by itself And the ambience is great. This is a great place to go for lunch or just a quick bite to eat, but it's also a great place to see live music on the weekends. This is an Arlington staple it should be on your short list of places you have to eat. Also, the service is incredible. read more

I'm not sure what the deal was tonight, because based on reviews I expected more. The band was poppin' and I loved all the music they were playing. Genuinely a great time! Servers were super friendly and had no issues with them either. The food, on the other hand .... Oof. I'll start off with we ordered around 9:40pm. I ordered the fish tacos and my friend ordered the burger. I went to check on our food around 10:15 since it had been considerably longer than I expected, and found someone texting... who then claimed the buzzer didn't go off, then checked the buzzer and it worked totally fine. The food was... just not good. The fries tasted burnt as heck and one of my fish tacos still had the skin on it. Just overall, so bad, and if I'd messed up and let food sit there that long, I would ask them to remake it for the customer. I guess they couldn't be bothered? I'd go back if I had to for the food, but definitely want to go back for the band again. read more

The girls working the register were so unfriendly and rude. It's a shame, seems like a fun place.

Service was good, but I got 3 meals to go and the other sandwich I got was undercooked . Didn't even want to give the one star read more

I always enjoy the half-pound "Black & Bleu" burger with bleu cheese, lettuce and tomato and topped with fried onion straws, cooked rare if you prefer it that way. read more

This is definitely a regular spot in our rotation. Fair prices for some of the best burgers in town. The bar is great, and the bartenders are on top of it. With all that said, it's still family-friendly without making me feel like I am not at a bar. Fun for all. Definitely recommend. read more

It has been over 10 years since we have eaten here. Glad they are still in business. I had the Red Pepper Burger and my sponsor had the Bacon Burger. they cooked the bacon and meat patty the exact same was as requested. I ordered the sweet potato fries and my sponsor ordered the onion rings. Need return more frequent, it was fun and our guest also enjoyed the experience. No phots necessary, they look exactly like the other phots on the site. Friendly bunch of people on staff. read more

Ordering was a little weird but the food was pretty good. I split a burger and wings with my daughter and both were good. We ordered the 1/3lb burger which was smaller than half the size of the regular one so make a good decision based on how much you eat. The fries were good as well. Drinks are self serve so are the condiments, which we ddn't mind but if you like to be served this isnt the place for you. The inside is basically a bar but it was pretty clean. Overall I would eat here again. Food wasnt bad not overly expensive. read more

This is my absolute favorite spot for veggie burgers (that are actually good) and sweet potato fries!! They have the best buns and the vibes are always right. I like how they have so much outdoor seating and the service is always quick! I came in a little early for an online order i placed and they were able to make it for me right away!! If you're looking for the best burgers in town, this is definitely the spot! I havent tried the bar part of the restaurant yet but its always intriguing. I think they also have live music which is dope! read more

We LOVE Grease Monkey and have been eating here for years when in the area! Some of our favorites are the salvage yard plate (fries, sweet potato waffle fries, onion rings), fried chicken sandwich, and nachos! Last night we tried the angry burger and it was quite spicy and VERY delicious. The buns on the sandwiches are simply the best - warm, incredibly soft, and slightly sweet. There's also a bar with beer, frozen cocktails, and mixed drinks and oftentimes this is paired with live music in the evenings! If you're looking for a dive with yummy American food, look no further! read more

The Grease Monkey - Portobello mushroom beef burger and onion rings!!! - Burgers Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Burgers. Booze. Bands. That's what The Grease Monkey is all about. Order your food and fountain drinks at the counter when you enter, then head through the door for tables, the bar, and the stage. These burgers are so good! Well seasoned beef, veggies that are bright and crisp, lots of cheese. Jon had onion rings that made me very jealous while I had a few French fries that were super hot and salty and delicious. Feels like the weekday crowd in here is a lot of regulars, which is always nice to see. Folks seem like they know each other. Our bartender was sweet and speedy and kept a busy lunchtime bar very clean. Im interested to come back for live music sometime! read more

First off, staff was great, friendly and helpful. The location is very fun vibe. Unfortunately the food was just okay. My margarita was overly sugary sweet, the fried pickles tasted like old grease and my salad was pretty tasteless. My husband got the bacon burger plus fries and he was just blah about it also. We will probably come back for just beers and watching the bands but I don't know if we would eat here again read more

We went to a a concert at the Arlington Music Hall three other day. We attended the sound check, so between that and the concert, we walked across the street for dinner. At 68, I'm pretty well burned out on burgers from about anywhere, so I was pleased to see a Reuben on the menu. I was slightly less pleased to see it in the basket I picked up when our order was ready. I lived in Belgium for a few years a long time ago. The Belge perfected the fried potato and these dark, greasy slices were an insult to that body of work. The same for the sandwich. Where a real Reuben has thin slices of beautifully tender corned beef, this tasted like pan fried pepperoni slices. The whole affair, sandwich and fries were simply laden with grease. I was hungry, so I ate half the sandwich. I shared the other half with my wife as a post concert snack. It got even greasier then. read more

I DO NOT understand these bad reviews here. The concept is fast casual. You order at the front, get a buzzer, sit down and wait. You get drinks at the bar if you want to (like every bar in America). People complaining about having to wait in line for a beer because there's no wait staff. Uh, yeah that's how America works. If you want to not have to wait, sit at the bar. The food is incredible. Wonderful buns, wonderful pattie's perfectly square and tasty. Hand cut fresh fries, wonderful homemade ghost pepper ketchup. Everyone was extremely nice. Such a good spot. HIT THEM UP!! read more

Really. Cool. Spot! The restaurant is really chill and has live music on Fridays & Saturday's. Cool bar and a small, covered patio. From where we sat inside, it looked like the majority of the patio is shaded. I got the Black & Blue burger and it was delish! I came with my family and they all enjoyed their burgers & kid corn dog. I do suggest getting the Salvage Yard Basket for $12. This place charges for fries/onion rings/sweet potato waffle fries separately, so we opted for that option. It's enough for my fam of 4 and we couldn't finish all the fries. I'd have posted pics but we came in hungry but we left stuffed! read more

Cool place to hang out at if you want to watch the game and have a couple of beers.And their food is not half bad either.The only thing I thought was weird was,I ordered the nachos and they were more like tostadas.I mean they weren't bad but I was expecting something different.But overall it's a cool place with plenty of tv's to watch the game and their prices are pretty reasonable.I would recommend it if your looking for a place to hang out.They also have live music I think every Friday and Saturday.If your in the area go check it out. read more

This place brought me back to my college days, with its college bar vibe ( Arlington is a college town!) with food at reasonable prices. The size of the burgers might astound you, and be ready to grab napkins as you enjoy the flavorful and juicy burgers. There are other food options too, which looked great. All the servers were friendly when ordering; you order your food at the counter and come back to get it. Just like college days! read more
