My wife and I come here every other Thursday (80 minute round trip) and have been here 15+ times...without a doubt, I can say this is easily one of my top 3 burger places in America. First of all, and most importantly, the burgers are fantastic. Flat top grilled burgers are seasoned to perfection. (There's no bigger disappointment than a bland flavorless burger; luckily you don't have to worry about that here) You must order the jalapeño sourdough bun. It is incredible. Slight kick from the jalapeño offsets the slight sweetness from the bun and is the perfect complement to the meat. (My wife doesn't like spicy foods but she loves the jalapeño bun, it's not too spicy for those that prefer mild foods) If you do like a spicier burger (but not so hot that you can't taste anything after the first bite), I get a double pepper jack cheese burger on the jalapeño bun with the cream cheese jalapeño dressing...it's amazing. Their fries are the only disappointing aspect of the meal..in my opinion... They are shoestring fries and while they are cooked perfectly, I think they would be better if they were hand cut fries or at least have a house made seasoning on the fries. The service is wonderful. You're always greeted when you walk in. All the ladies that work the floor are great at their jobs. Walter (the owner) is an awesome guy. The decor of the restaurant is cool. It's in an old 1800's saloon with the creaky floors. Mismatched chairs and tables just add to the ambiance. They have live music on Friday nights. Note - they are only open on Thurs, Fri & Sat. Cash only! (Follow their Facebook page for updates - they post regularly) Please give this place a try. I'm quite sure you won't regret it. read more

This was a great little hole in the wall! The place to be if you live in town!! The hamburger was tasty but the fries were overcooked and crunchy. Live music was a terrific perk on the Saturday evening we visited. You order at the counter and they bring your food out to you so the service was good for what it was as an order at the counter kinda place. read more

Just had one of the best burger of my life. I got the Texican with a jalapeño bun. I loved every bite. I loved the art work on the walls and the copy try music playing. They also do live music! Great ambiance, very friendly staff. The owner even held the door open for us! 10/10 read more

First off let me say that the interior here and the decor are incredible! Saint Jo is a really cute little small town with the friendliest people you'll ever meet. The small town dilemma is definitely real when it comes to food, and just because the folks there enjoy, doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be great food. Simple menu here, burgers and fries, nothing fancy or pretentious. I have Celiac so I cannot eat my burger on a bun and requested some leafs of lettuce to use instead. When the burger came out it came with shredded lettuce instead. Apart from the lettuce wrap hiccup, the burger was alright, came off a tad under seasoned. The fries were undercooked and definitely needed more time to crisp up. This had to be one of the coolest places to sit in and have a drink, the food is just so so... read more

Very good burger, good cold beer. Definitely worth a try if you're in St Jo.. Atmosphere is really cool too......

We were in the area, and some friends recommended the Windmill. It's currently BYOB, but they've applied for a liquor license. And bring cash since it is cash only! The atmosphere is like an old bar: there's a pool table and a small stage and dance floor. You order at the bar, and servers bring the food to your table. The burgers were really good! I had a cheeseburger on the jalapeño sourdough, and my husband had the Texican on toast. We really enjoyed our meal! read more

Great burgers and fries. We are going back! My wife had a grilled chicken breast sandwich. It was good but I think the burgers are the best. Good loaded fries too. read more

Saturday night at the Windmill Grill & saloon with friends and a live band. The smoked brisket on sourdough jalapeño bun was darned good!

They do not understand the complexity and engineering how to create a good burger. Better off just going across the street to the new restaurant they understand it. read more

Windmill Grill & Saloon - Burgers Near Me - Saint Jo, Texas

This place is off the charts awesome! Today was our first visit, but it won't be the last. My wife got a bacon cheeseburger, and I got the special -- the Rocket Burger. They were both fantastic! Today was one of the coldest days of the year (39 degrees) so we couldn't enjoy the outdoor dining, but we are looking forward to that the next time. The place is decorated so uniquely and Texan that my wife took several photos to send to our friends. The service was outstanding -- both extremely competent, professional, and friendly -- and the decor made us feel like we were at one of those places that needs to be featured on one of those TV shows that visits unique and tasty eateries. I highly recommend the Windmill Grill!! You won't be disappointed. read more

This place used to serve the best burger I've ever had. They've remodeled some for the better some for worse. No more back patio to eat at and more importantly the burgers are now just mediocre. The Texican that's advertised to come with candied bacon and bbq sauce now has two tiny strips of bacon and barley enough bbq sauce to discolor the bun. Very disappointing to see a favorite change for the worse so much... read more

Windmill Grill & Saloon - The new Texican... - Burgers Near Me - Saint Jo, Texas

What a cool old western saloon, fun decor and live music at lunch on a Saturday! Worth the stop as you're passing through!

How come there's no photos of new locations. Texican Burger was great. No menu no prices and please let public know when they get their liquor license. Frustrating to not no prices until you get bill 18.00 for Burger and Fries good but. Not Sure if there is fee for BYOB. NOTHING ABOUT PRICE ANYWHERE. If they can't post prices pretty strange. Won't go back if they can't tell me what stuff cost. read more

I just stumbled upon this place this week. Was just driving around town and thru the corner of my eye saw a sign saying "burgers". Since I've never met a burger I didn't want to eat, I circled the block and stopped in. The inside has an old country feel with all kinds of country goodies decorating it. The menu is simple-burgers, chips & canned soft drinks. The burger is probably the best, non homemade burger I've had. The patty is hand pressed, the bun was fresh and the vegetables were hand cut. I was really impressed. read more

Best burgers in MONTAGUE Texas! Maybe even in Texas. Once you have one of these burgers it will be hard to enjoy a burger anywhere else! Located on the Square in Saint Jo Texas. Call ahead to confirm hours of operation, generally open Thursday, Friday and Saturdays. read more

I just had the BEST hamburger I've had in a LONG time. Better than anything Whataburger or In-N-Out can do... Good quality local meat market (Hess Meat Market in Muenster, Texas) fresh ground chuck daily. Customize it how you want (size and toppings). Good old fashioned burger! Great ambiance. Lots of Texas memorabilia in the building. Outdoor patio seating available as well. read more

Windmill Grill & Saloon - Bacon cheeseburger, chips & drink, ~$12 - Burgers Near Me - Saint Jo, Texas

Best burger in north Texas! The windmill grill is a hidden gem amongst a sea of lackluster restaurants in the area. The small town country western aesthetic is very calming and the outside dining area is undefeated! When the windmill is spinning and the water feature is running it's hard for me to leave the tranquil Vibe behind. Around this time of year when German Fest is happening a town over In Muenster they often have live acoustic music which is a wonderful addition to the previously mentioned aura and a much needed change in scenery if your looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the fair for a quick bite just out of town! I only wish their hours were more convenient but timing our visit has become a part of the charm for me and my girlfriend. 5 stars! read more

THIS IS THE GREATEST BURGER EVER...Perfect dive , Texas through and through. You're CRAZY if you don't stop here!

Such a great place to get a good burger, check out a little of the town history through old photos on the wall and Walter is always there to greet you and visit with you ! Live music some nights and just an all around fun place! The old saloon like decor brings you back to the 1800's and its a treat ! read more

If you haven't been you need to go. The owner has taken what was a small add-on shack to a two story building and created a one of a kind Burger Joint. We both had Cheeseburgers, nothing fancy here just a GOOD ALL AMERICAN BURGER. Go inside order get your drink and chips and the burgers are brought to your table. Small inside seating area, outside is covered and has a mix of tables and chairs with a dirt floor, and small fireplace. They have bands on some weekends. This place should be on your Bucket List. read more

Great burger. I had Texican burger. Bring cash cards not taken. Worth a repeat trip

Great burgers!! Quality beef! Local favorite. Clean and well-run. Located off the northwest corner of the square, behind the bank and the old Scott's Hardware. A little bit of Austin and Luckenbach in Saint Jo. read more

Great burgers. Real interesting place to enjoy a quality burger. If you are in the St. Jo area, don't miss this spot.

Awesome burgers and great atmosphere. No fries. Only chips but a great addition to downtown St. Jo.

Awesome quick service with a smile. Very tasty burger. Well worth the ride in from anywhere in Texas.

This place does one thing: burgers. And it does them exceptionally well!! Menu is super simple, burgers with standard toppings or a few (amazing) specials with toppings like candied jalapenos and crispy onions. The meat is fresh and local and veggies and toppings are fresh and delicoius. Sides are chips and canned soda only, but don't worry the burgers are truly a meal. Atmosphere is laid back with a pool table inside and a great patio outside with rustic Texas water feature and beautiful flowers and agave plants. Bring your appetite! A must visit if you are in the area to see the wineries or just need a burger. The Saint Jo square also offers a gallery featuring Western artists, gift and vintage shops. read more

Today I had lunch here for the first time and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The staff were very friendly and nice. BY FAR! The best burger I've ever had, I'm still baffled by what made it taste so delicious because it wasn't just one key item on the burger which stuck out as being amazing but it seemed to be every single factor. read more
