Bells Better Burgers - Burgers Near Me - Balch Springs, Texas

Let me tell you something: There are no more than 7 places like this remaining in Texas. OLD SCHOOL drive-in....... Car window service, by a breathing human being! Burgers and fries straight out of 1981. Long awning you drive up to. HUGE menu! Nothing is bad! Go there today! read more

Quick friendly service at a family owned business and the best "old-fashioned burgers " around. The fried ice cream-cream isn't to be missed either. The place was a neighborhood staple when I moved here 20 years ago. read more

It's an old school drive up and the waitress came out to meet us. The best thing about this place was the service. We both had the Texas burger. He got fries and I got tots. Everything came wrapped. Burger was served on cheap white bread not a bun. Pattie was flavorless and super greasy. Plenty of mustard though. Both fries and tots were so greasy there was oil in the bottom of The paper boat! Also, they tasted like old oil. Gross. Threw $20 bucks in the trash. This place must be on life support. Living on its legacy of " open since 1963". Don't waste your time or money. read more

Amazing old fashioned burgers. Painfully slow, unfortunately I've had drive away twice after waiting 45 mins+. It shouldn't take that long for a single burger and a chicken finger basket. Also not busy at all as this was 715 with me and another car waiting. I'd love to come back when they figure out to speed up order times. read more

Service is unbelievable, not in a good way. Really wish I was able to give a negative star. We ordered at 9:30 in the morning for a noon pickup. Arrived at 12 noon sharp at 1 PM still waiting for food. Car hop couldn't give me any idea of how much longer it was going to take. I would have left along time ago but the food was prepaid for. Maybe it was busy you might ask.....two other cars beside me. Must have been a rush huh One hour and 35 minutes the car hop comes out to tell me that my order has been accidentally cancelled and she was sorry That was it! I have no idea why she told me that everything was being made from scratch when the order was for two hamburgers and one salad!!! Last time I checked there really isn't any thing in those that is from scratch! Don't waste your time, and I do mean a time waste!! read more

I don't find myself in Balch Springs much but a client in Mesquite raved about Bells so I had to check it out. Old school drive in place with a Kellers feel to it just on a smaller scale. I ordered the Double Texas Burger w cheese and it was excellent. Thick Pattie's perfectly cooked so that it was juicy but not so juicy you end up wearing it. Fries were tasty too, could have used a little salt and pepper. I'll definitely be back. read more

Bell's Better Burgers... Well today they weren't better but it wasn't the worst neither. When you make the trip to Balch Springs just know this is a real hole in the wall. The outside is old and kind of run down and so was the menu that didn't have pricing which would've been cool but no worries lol. The server was this nice lady that was good at her job and made it easy. I ordered the texas double with chili cheese fries. Now my burger was alot on the burned and crispy side which was not a good thing because it wasn't the kind of tasty burn you want. More of a accidental burn but ill serve it to you anyway type of burn lol but I've been here before and they were pretty on point. The chili cheese fries were nothing to brag about either but made for a pretty picture lol but the chili tasted straight from a can and the fries could've used some more time in the fryer. I like bells and have been here a few times but the past couple they have seen better days. Will I come back probably not for a while, do I want to come back yes but maybe give them some time to get back on track. You should give it a try though and you be the judge but for me its a no go for a bit they are in time out!!! Burger Man OUT!!! read more

Food, service, and general quality have gone down hill fast. Very poor on all fronts. I do not recommend at all, trust me don't do it.

Nothing like a good old fashion drive up food place, I recommend this to people that are new around the balch springs area. If you have a big appetite and want to fill up like a gas tank on $100 bill this is your spot. Everything is affordable, fast, and fresh. We love Bells read more

These burgers here are really delicious! Definitely coming back again ! Milkshake was on point ! As well as the staff was awesome and nice And the price was good! read more

Good old time greasy burger! Double patty with cheese was the special of the day. Fries and a drink $11.00 not too bad!!

Yummy!!!!! Big juicy burgers. Fries are great onion rings are better. Always fresh. read more

its a great place to eat and hang out and see people who really like a fast food joint read more

Bells Better Burgers - Best burger and Onion Rings on the planet. PERIOD. - Burgers Near Me - Balch Springs, Texas

I grew up in the Grove, but moved away. Now I'm working in the Grove again we needed to check out new lunch options. Looking at the place it reminds me of old school Kellers. Bell's is delicious. The burgers are great, but I'm addicted in a fat kid way to the steak finger basket. These aren't your Griff's, DQ, or cafeteria lunch steak fingers, they are legit. Had them twice this week. Stop by Bell's, it's good stuff. read more

The best greasy hole in the wall burger! I was leary when we pulled up, and I told my friend no way! She convinced me by buying my lunch. Now I can't stay away read more

Delicious, made to order burger! Crinkle-cut fries were cooked well(slightly crispy). Great service... especially for such a small mom & pop type of place. I will be back! read more

First off, let me start by saying my husband and I had to wait a good 45 minutes before we even got our food during the course of waiting the waitress left the premises to get a bag of ice by the time she finally returned and served us our food The onion rings and fries were cold I sent the food back and asked if we could get hot food when she returned with the order a good 20 or 30 minutes later It was worse than when I sent it back the first time there wasn't hardly any lettuce on the burgers. We asked for grilled onions which we did not get. I asked for mayo my husband asked for mayo and mustard neither burger had either the buns and fries were super greasy and the food was still cold.I asked for a banana shake. She stated the shake machine was down. My husband asked for fried pickles which she stated they were also out of and just took it upon her self to give my husband fries instead of asking him first if he would like something different, this order was $36, I spoke with the waitress and explain to her my disappointment with the order, and showed her exactly how the food came to us at this point l asked for a total refund of everything we ordered. I was so disappointed that we waited the whole experience and food sucked. I would not encourage anyone to try this establishment. I definitely believe management needs to get involved. A total waste of time and money. read more

Bells has been around a long time! They have really good burgers and fries! I also like their corny dogs and tacos. I've tried chicken fried steak and steak fingers they're also good! I like there onion rings they're great! I know the people who own it and there good people. I knew his mom and dad who use to run it. Good place good people! Great burgers! You must try drive up and order and they will bring your food on tray. Service with a smile! read more

This is a throw back drive in burger joint. I go there when I am in the area. There is literally no better old fashioned burger in the metroplex. I met the 2nd generation owner and he told me they are still using the same grill that opened the place in the sixties and you can tell. The burgers are wonderful, taste just like the burgers you used to get all over. Great taste, fresh veggies and layered in melted cheese, I have to order the single Texas burger now but the double was always my favorite. Limited parking and sometimes there is a little wait but it is worth it. If you are in the area, drop in and grab a burger with homemade onion rings, you are going to thank me. read more

The best Drive in Dallas for Chicken fried steak sandwiches to one of the better Burgers in Dallas! All are fresh cooked and never a disappointment!! Try this little Drive-in you will be sure to come back for that old memory of your local drive in your Youth !!! read more

I've been eating here for years and...I do love their food! No sit down service, well...you can sit in your car!! It's drive up, someone comes out to your car (old school car hop style) you order and you can stay there in the car or take away. The food has always been consistently good, and my favorite is the steak fingers. I do have to say they used to be larger and over the years they've shrunk, but they are still as tasty as ever, but they really do need to be larger...I got some today and one of them is the size of my pinky finger, so a bit disappointed with that. They do have fried pickles, which are a little greasy but also really, really tasty. The chicken strips are really good too! From the outside you might think, hhmmm, maybe NOT, but trust...it's worth the visit. read more

Unless you are really looking for this place, you will probably drive right by it. It is near a busy intersection and there are a lot of nearby businesses. There isn't much parking, but that is ok. It seems that most customers phone in orders, then pick up. I will definitely try that next time! This place is a drive-in, not drive thru. You pull up into a parking spot and someone comes over to take your order. The cooks in the kitchen, whom you can see from your car, get working on your order. The menu is decent sized. They have burgers, chicken strips, steak fingers, fish, chili (frito) pie, shakes, etc. The hubs got the Texas burger which is a 1/2 pound burger, my nugget got the kids sized chicken strips, and I got the chili pie. Everyone liked their food, it seemed really fresh. We took our food home, but you can eat there in your car, they have those trays that hook on your window. We went on a week night and in the time it took us to order and get our food, they served about 10 customers. Most were call-ins. Like I said, next time that is what we are doing since it took quite a while to make our food. It is hard to complain when it tastes so fresh. read more

Run. Not worth the trip Eat in your vehicle or take it with you. No restrooms. No place to wash your hands. Ordered two medium size cheese burgers with fries Cokes to drink. $14. Plus a $6 tip. $20. Cheap greasy meat on the cheeseburger. Nub French fries. The longest one was maybe an inch. No lettuce on the burger and the tomato was so thin you could have read the newspaper through it. Its a miracle how this place is still in business. You've been warned. Whataburger is twice as good and they are usually bad. read more

I frequently visit Bell's whenever my husband I feel like sitting in the car talking and relaxing. This family-owned stand is quite a nice surprise once you set aside your concerns of the overall atmosphere in the general area. Clearly marked menu on either side of the parking lot...The menu includes several types/sizes of burgers, generous quantity of French fries and other sandwiches, tacos (your average Tex-Mex taco), and maybe a fried pie or two...they even have milk shakes; although I've never had one. The menu range is very inexpensive; burgers are made to order; I've never had an issue with their food. The nice thing is, you can park under the port which comes in handy on very sunny/hot afternoons or on rainy days!! Just pull in a and park and a car hop will come and take your order! The overall clientale ranges from kids (on bikes) to senior citizens and everyone in between. You can even call your order in. They accept credit cards!!! I don't know about personal checks though... The onion rings are made on the premises, I think...they sure taste homemade... I don't think they offer salads...this isn't a place you would consider if you are seriously counting calories and cholestrol...but hey, every now and then, we all should indulge!! Though the area may look a little rough and there are pot holes in the parking lot, it's never gotten in the way of our enjoyment...they close at 9pm on most days and are closed Sundays. read more

The place is not the best looking establishment but the Burgers are the best in the metroplex! The fries are at best a 4 they could find and seasoning that would be great! But I absolutely love the burgers best in the Buisness. read more

I wanted to like Bell's more than I did. Why? First, my very pregnant carhop was very pleasant. Second, it has a small town feel-from the hand painted menu board to the obvious regulars that are there. Third, I just love drive-ins. All of those were checked off on the plus side of the ledger. The food, however, was rather bland. The fries had no seasoning that I could taste. The onion rings were ok- but again not much seasoning. The burger, to be fair,was pretty good-but nothing you can't get at a multitude of places around the metroplex. All in all, if you find yourself in the area it is worth a try-if only for the "ambiance" and the old time drive-in experience-but don't expect your world to be rocked. read more

I had just recently received food the night before. It was about $28 including tip, my father's food was okay but that's about it aside from the fact he was short handed on the fries. The burger I ordered was still pink in the middle and the burger was soggy. The chicken strips were well over cooked and were placed directly onto the foam where it burned through. Mind you the strips were for my 2 year old and burnt styrofoam is toxic. The toast was placed under all the food so it was squished. No napkins or even ketchup. By the time I made it home and realized all this the establishment was closed. I called the following day to see what could be done about it. I was polite as I talked to two different workers till the end of the conversation when i was told nothing will be done about it and to just write a review on Google like everyone else does. Their were no apologies or anything just straight disrespect, I was treated like it was my fault. You don't treat paying customers let alone people like that period. Understocked on their main ingredient which is hamburger meat. Most of the staff were working unhygienicly, as in no gloves, no hair net and only one person wearing a face mask. Overall this place practices bad business and even worse customer service. I refuse to eat there again and will be informing more then Google about the situation, my family has been coming here for at least 7 years and have now lost loyal customers. read more

The steak fingers were soggy and oily. The fries were limp and soggy. Will not return! So gross!!!! read more

Love the burgers and onion ring. One of my favorite spots to eat. Gives me old school vibes and I love that about it . You can ever eat in the car and they give you a tray for it. read more

This place is an unassuming dump on the side of the road with major construction happening (on the road). It's definitely not a place I would normally choose, but based on the reviews and it's proximity to my job, I had to give it a shot. The menu is painted on some wood on a fence straight ahead of the wide carport. You drive right in to the carport and someone will come out to take your order. The server came out just as I was trying to figure out how to order. She was pleasant and offered suggestions since it was my first visit. I declined the Texas burger because it would have been far too much meat, and went for the regular burger with cheese and all the usual fixings along with fries and a drink. As I waited for my food (which definitely took longer than the standard drive-through), I wondered what the health score of this place would be. I decided not to think too hard and simply judge this place on taste alone. The burger was very good. You could tell it was fresh and made to order and it was definitely worth the wait. The fries were nothing special, but I can deal with that. I would DEFINITELY recommend this place and I will definitely return and bring a friend. 4 stars simply because the fries were run-of-the-mill. read more
