Six months after my original review of this place, I wanted a burger again, but this time I drove…read moreover to the place myself. I go there right at 12:00 and avoided the rush that came in right as I walked out, lol. The owner himself waited on me and helped me with my order. The place is so clean and clearly a great place to hang out if you aren't just wanting to eat. One side is a small bar area - but not too small - complete with a jukebox! TV screens are placed in good spots. The owner chatted about their history and I was interested in the history of Mesquite. A lady brought out my meal and took the time to smile at me, such a change from places that are in such a rush. My son loves it and now I'm a fan. You must check out this local-owned charming place! Food is so fresh!

The Toddzilla Challenge Is a lie JC Burger Bar was a…read morecomplete letdown. I went there for my birthday specifically to take on the "Toddzilla Challenge"--only to find out after finishing it that the challenge no longer exists. A total of four of us ordered it, and at no point did the cashier or waitress inform us that the challenge was discontinued. The Toddzilla is still on the menu, and there's even a wall dedicated to past winners, making it seem like the challenge was still active. So, we did what any competitive eater would do--we finished every last bite, expecting to earn our place on the wall and a commemorative t-shirt. Instead, we were met with a shrug and told, "Oh yeah, that challenge isn't a thing anymore." Talk about false advertising! The biggest issue? We specifically ordered four massive $22 burgers designed not to be finished, under the assumption we were taking on a legit challenge. If the staff had simply told us beforehand, we might have reconsidered. But nope--we were left in the dark. As for the food? It was... meh. The Toddzilla is just three beef patties with three slices of cheese--no sauce, no toppings, nothing. Just dry meat and bread. Fortunately, we asked for mayo, which helped a little, but without ketchup, mustard, pickles, or onions, it was a struggle to get through. Honestly, I think this place only gets good ratings because it's a bar. And let's be real--when alcohol is involved, food tends to get rated better than it actually is. If you're looking for a good burger, there are far better spots out there. Huge disappointment. *Poor *Decent *Ok *Good *Great *Best *JLFoodie Certified Prices. Ok Food. Good Service.

Fair enough if there are limited tables but there were open tables throughout the restaurant. Once at our table, the table and seats were greasy. Not cleaned properly between seasons. The digital pay kiosk was also greasy. The shrimp and pasta dish had overcooked shrimp and broccoli. It was not appealing. The grilled chicken salad was as expected. No complaints there. Toward the end of the meal, another family came in with a handicapped person. They were seated across from our table. The management should take ability into consideration when seating tables. Teach your hostess staff to do better. We won't be back.

Upon my entry a young man spoke to me. I told him I had glanced at their menu on doordash but had no idea what I wanted to eat. Give me a little time to review. I had to say something their prices are a bit steep and their are no combos. Each item has a price. He informed me Nation's is based in California and their prices were brought herec to Texas . The food is made when ordered . The restaurant was spotless nice and clean. There were less than ten people enjoying their food while they converse with others sitting at their table. The young man returned to the cook top and his colleague Raquel smiled and took my order. Raquel handed me a regular size cup to get the drink of my choice. I ‍ walked to fountain station. Filled with "sonic" not too much The drink I chose was pink lemonade . I didn't time how long it took him to prepare my meal. I guess around 10 minutes give or take. I left the restaurant with a popping hot meal . My drive home took 30 minutes . I ate a few fries slowly because they were very hot had to constantly blow on them just so I could eat them. Returned home safely preceded to the living room. Picked up my serving tray arranging food on it. To my surprise my food was no longer hot or warm I just wanted to eat and it was actually good. I was almost done eating when I decided to zap what was left in the microwave Imo my food tasted better at room temperature . I was pleasantly surprised. . . . .
