They offer a good variety of beers on tap to choose from as well as quick and easy bites. The burgers are pretty good as well. The wings were "ok" in my opinion and needed more seasoning. The cashier and server were super busy so i will not fault them on service, but a smile wouldn't hurt. The restrooms are very clean and well maintained. The prices can be a bit on the high side for this demographic but seeing what all they offer makes up for it i suppose. So if you are ever travelling through Rockdale, stop on by the taphouse for a quick bite and craft beer. Try it out for yourself.

Some other sandwiches and a chef salad round out lunch. The beef is all from the Diamond A Ranch next door. They also have some breakfast items like tacos and biscuit sandwiches. The tea is fresh and good quality. The food is cooked fresh to order so expect a little wait. Unfortunately, we found the burgers to be rather dry and not tender and juicy, like there wasn't enough fat in the beef. The beefy flavor was excellent, though, and it was well seasoned. These half pounders are ginormous and two people could share one. The fries were obviously freshly made and flavorwise were tasty, but they weren't crispy :( I might try this place again sometime as there's a lot going for it and I like to support small local businesses. And you can buy the local beef to take home.

When I wrote this review, I was the sixth review ever…read more The other five reviews were five stars. I gave it five stars too. That should tell you something. * * * Herk's is a small convenience store with their own sandwich business. At lunch time, there are fifteen trucks parked outside. That means fifteen to thirty working guys getting lunch. Those fifteen to thirty guys know what they are doing. * * * The menu is hamburgers, a little bit of breakfast stuff, a little bit of brisket, a little bit of Mexican stuff and some non-hamburger grilled sandwiches. The hamburgers are rightly famous. I had a smoked turkey sandwich that was fantabulous. The secret was a cheesy jalapeno bread that was massively buttered and then toasted on the grill. The buttered bread was simply to die for. But it didn't hurt that they took the turkey off the loaf and grilled it until there was a good char on the meat. I never knew turkey loaf turkey could be grilled - and I didn't know it tastes great when grilled. Put that on your list with bologna of surprising foods that taste amazing hot if you put a char on them. * * * But the whole place is classy - not just the sandwiches themselves. Even though Herk's has almost no space, they put out one of the best displays of energy drinks you will ever see at a convenience store. And they have a great selection of everyday beer. Also tucked away in a corner is a supply of shampoo, deodorant and other clean-up supplies. You doing something really dirty and have to look good after work? Herk's has got you covered. You can get charged up in the morning. You can get charged up midday. You can kick back at night. And if something goes wrong with your truck, they even have a small stock of emergency truck supplies. * * * The place also goes out of the way to help out the local community. They have a big ad for a benefit for a local resident who survived what should have been an absolutely fatal stroke. That patient is now facing months of expensive rehabilitation. The community is selling homemade briskets and doing a great big benefit dinner. They have announcements for the Central Texas Diabetes support fundraiser (two C & W bands and another dinner.) There is a third dinner the next day for the local Lutheran church. (This time, the attendees get roast beef.) If cooking is going to be what helps people in need, Lexington, Texas is willing to do a lot of cooking. The community material can also be naughty rather than nice. They have a big ad for the locally made spice mix with a Before and After picture showing the merits of the spices. The After Picture is a Beautiful Model. The Before Picture is Old Hillary Clinton. There are gags about living on $15 a week. You use $8 for your beer, $1 for the wife's beer, $2 for horse tips, $5 for other fun stuff. You buy your groceries on credit. If your expenses go over $15 a week, your next move is to cancel the wife's beer. There are jokes about how no one has ever figured out how to win an argument with a woman. There are plenty of jokes about drinking as well, and a few not-so-naughty jokes about riding. * * * You get the idea. Herk's is more than just a place to get hamburgers. It is a place that takes care of its people. It provides the goods and services local people need. It provides a meeting place. It stands up for the high and noble virtues. It stands up for the sins that people-are-gonna-commit-anyway. * * * Overall you gotta like Herk's. Soul is a funny choice of word for a country western establishment. But, in a very real way, this place has soul.

Oh my. Good Lord. That's the way this one goes…read more Yelper's didn't disappoint on this one. If you were to just drive by, you wouldn't have any idea about this place. But if you're into good ol' fashion greasy diner style hamburgers, this be the place. Getting about 1:00 and was needing some lunch. Based on Yelp reviews and my love of a great burger, I couldn't pass this place up. They only do burgers I think and they have them in about a dozen options. I went with the patty melt and boy was it some good. Two think n juicy patty's, two slices of cheese and some seriously good grilled onions. I was able to get half down. The rest for tonight.

Came here for the first time with my wife and son. We ordered:…read moreBacon Cheeseburger w/ Garlic Fries- flavorful and good, but our least favorite of these 3 burgers. Garlic Burger w/ Garlic Fries- if you're a garlic fan, this was packed with a pretty strong garlicky taste. Superman w/ Garlic Fries- large and flavorful. Not too spicy from the jalapeños, but the veggies and bun balances it out. Banana Pudding- probably the best that I've ever had and I've eaten a lot. We got a combo with all garlic fries and a refillable fountain drinks. The burgers were made fresh and so juicy. The garlic fries were ridiculously delicious. The drinks were Texas made and they delicious. I loved the strawberry cream soda or the orange cream soda. Lots of different burgers and desserts to choose from. Overall, decently priced for the portions and the quality of the food. These burgers were probably the best fresh juicy burgers that we've had so far in town. We will definitely be back to try the other choices. Staff are very friendly. It was pretty busy so they gave me a heads up about waiting approximately 40mins which was ok for us cause we had time on our side. I was just happy and appreciative that they communicated that vs me just waiting forever thinking that they forgot about me. The restaurant is self order and pickup. As small as it looks on the inside, there's quite a bit tables to include a mini snack shop. There are additional tables outside too. It can get a little congested near the cashiers area. The parking lot is small and can be hard to find parking, but we scored a spot right in front. Some parked on the grass along the main road, just be careful.

They say it is worth the wait but for me, the burger was more greasy than flavorful. Too much grease takes away from the enjoyment for me. I didn't even like the garlic fries because they also weren't seasoned well. They just tasted like regular plain fries with garlic powder seasoning dusted on top. I know I'm probably the outlier bc I heard so many good reviews which is why I decided to try this place. I prefer Country Burger, Whataburger and Braums any day over this place. But maybe I will try something different if I go back. I just can't eat their burgers. The bread got a little soggy from all of the grease. On the other hand, I LOVE their Christian atmosphere.
