    Bacon cheeseburger
    Daniel M.

    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.

    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.

    Loaded fries
    Sandra B.

    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

    Chicken Fried Bacon Chipotle BBQ Burger
    Bruno F.

    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.

    Fish tacos

    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.

    This is how the paper look and it seems I ate some

    Cool atmosphere, great service, cold drinks, good burgers & tacos, and onion rings done right... don't really need much more than that!

    We stopped by here before our concert to get a drink and some food. Excellent prices on everything and rather tasty food.

    I've hit up a bunch of the big-name "best in the country" tiki bars over the years. Places on both…read morecoasts and a few under-the-radar ones. Honestly, 4 Kahunas Tiki Lounge right here in Arlington is right up there with the very best of them. The place just feels like an instant getaway. It's tucked back off the main drag but the second you walk in you're on some tropical island, no plane ticket required. The cocktails are legit. Super well-made, great balance, real tiki depth, none of that fake sweet garbage you sometimes get. Every drink we've had has been spot-on. Maggie working the bar is the real MVP though. She's quick, knows her stuff inside out, super friendly, and somehow makes the whole night feel personal. Whatever we ordered, she crushed it and kept the good vibes going. She's a huge reason we keep coming back. Only thing that would make it even better? A water feature. A little fountain, a trickling stream down some rocks, or even a small waterfall wall in the back would dial the ambiance up to 11 and really sell that full island escape feel. If you're anywhere in the DFW area and you're into tiki or just killer cocktails, you gotta check out 4 Kahunas. Small spot, super cozy, and easily one of the best tiki experiences in Texas. Already counting down to the next visit.

    We attended a company event at Texas Live! on February 18, 2026, and overall we had a great time…read more The venue itself is impressive, and the food and drinks were very good. Our company provided each guest with three drink tickets, and many attendees -- including ourselves -- happily purchased additional drinks beyond that. Unfortunately, our experience with most of the bartenders was disappointing. We visited two different bar stations, and several bartenders came across as rude or uninterested, almost as if serving guests was an inconvenience. This stood out especially since the event was a large private rental, and guests were continuing to spend money throughout the evening. That said, one bartender truly made a positive impression -- Analilia. She was friendly, welcoming, and had an amazing attitude that completely changed the experience at her bar. She provided the level of service you would expect at a venue of this caliber. Despite the inconsistent service, we still enjoyed the event overall thanks to the atmosphere, food, and entertainment. I hope management recognizes team members like Analilia and works to ensure a more consistently positive guest experience across all bar stations in the future.

What I wanted was the mango beer that was on tap but both kegs were out. Not sure if it was a barback failure or an inventory failure. I ended up getting a blueberry beer which was ok. The bartender was really cool about it. The atmosphere was good. I did hear at the front hostess stand that there was an automatic 20% tip added onto the bill if you sat at a table. That to me is some crazy.
