★★★★★ 5.0 Tom Arvizu · Feb 2026

I discovered this little gem traveling to Austin from Katy. Absolutely phenomenal experience from start to finish! The bacon cheeseburger was hands down one of the best I’ve ever had — perfectly cooked, juicy, and packed with flavor. The bacon was crispy, the cheese was melted just right, and every bite was delicious. The fries were hot, fresh, and seasoned perfectly — crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. And the mint chocolate chip milkshake? Incredible. Thick, creamy, and loaded with Oreo pieces — the perfect sweet finish to an amazing meal. On top of the great food, the staff was outstanding. Super friendly, welcoming, and attentive without being overbearing. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers. Even better, the wait time was impressively short — we got

Small town burger place Dairy Queen inspired has good food. Food was fresh and the junior burger was big! Chili baked potato was large and delicious appreciated the jalapenos and the fancy burrito was good the fresh lettuce and tomato was liked. Good ice cream chocolate soft serve shake was thick. Outside seating had some insects circling trash.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 JAMES RODNEY PLUMMER · Dec 2025

Real hamburgers that are fresh ground daily. It is good but a little pricey. Staff is very friendly but my waitress didn't listen to my order and my order was wrong and after I had to correct my food it was soggy and very messy! Wait time was a good while and this is with only a few customers. Good old fashioned place but they are slowly going downhill because of lack of concern for customer service and lack of pride in their work/job!

I used to visit this place regularly when my grandparents had a weekend place in Columbus back in the early 1980s. I stopped by the other day for my first time in over 40 years, this time with my city girl wife and kids. Place honestly hasn't changed much at all and that is what I like about it. Staff are nice, they take their time to take your order and make it right (regardless of how many people are waiting). Burger was great, milk shake and malts where great, onion rings were great. Prices were a little on the high side but that is no different than anywhere these days and I don't mind paying when the product is as good as it was here. The whole family enjoyed their meal, and I have a bunch that is usually all hard to please. Somethings are better left they way they are, thanks

★★★★★ 5.0 Chris Immenhauser · Nov 2025

Food was delicious 😋. Employees were super polite. Food came out hot and on time. Sweet Tea was amazing! I even got a free French frie in my onion rings basket. That's a win in my book. Good luck Cardinals next weekend 🙌.
