Picture this- You're just starting out on a 5 hour drive home after a LOONNNG weekend on the river, 4 days of "chilling" in the water and drinking. You recover every morning with a cup of joe, a breakfast burrito then you repeat. Now the last thing, the ABsolute last thing you need at this point is a big half pound greasy burger. We knew this and stopped anyways. Billy Bob's is just what you picture from the name- small building right off the freeway, wooden bleachers, one small bathroom, and a line out the front door by noon. Some of the options include a "heart attack burger" and the "giant" already mentioned. They also have chicken baskets and grilled chicken sandwiches. Thankfully I was blessed with some common sense and stuck with the junior burger which was still plenty big enough. With fries and a large sweet tea, the $5 combo really hit the spot. read more

Used to be one of the best around - no longer the case. The burgers are now tasteless and the bread is the WORST. The bun is one of the key ingredients for a good burger and they are using the cheapest mush to nothing buns. The meat is bland and must be frozen. Felt sick after eating it. I would rather drive to the Whataburger at the other end of town. In fact, that's what we did the next time we wanted a burger. read more

What a fun "joint" this was. It was late on Friday on our way to a wedding weekend & we figured it was the last stop before starvation. Anyway it was just something of an old time burger place. Western statues, beer signs, though no beer, wagon wheels, red checked burger paper, delicious fries - home made!! & a nice big juicy burger. Just felt fun & country. Another clue it was good was that the police were eating there too. The staff was so nice - we arrived just about closing time & they were very gracious. Fixed our food, locked the door & went about checking out the restaurant. All the time we were left alone without any feeling of being rushed. Of course we felt bad about keeping them so we ate about half and took the other half to our hotel. Glad we stopped here!! read more

I had catfish plate. You may think it to be mundane, or even ubiquitous. I grew up on this cuisine and consider myself to be an aficionado. Billy Bob's gets the fried catfish right. Improvements could be made pairing their excellent fish with a quality hot sauce and/or tartar sauce AND, serving the COLD SLAW, COLD. read more

Service is awful, the wait for 2 burgers and Children's nuggets was over an hour and 20 minute wait. Couldn't leave since they make you pay for the meal ahead of time and the short Redhead young Lady was so rude! She started to treat us Ugly when she saw another lady walk up to me and warned me about the wait and how long she was waiting. So just because of that and without canceling my order and Patiently waiting, she still was unpleasant to us. I should've waited to get to San Antonio instead!‍ read more

Classic local hamburger joint, basics done right, nothing fancy about the place just plain American good food. That is the ultimate compliment. read more

Billy Bob's Hamburgers - Burgers Near Me - Hondo, Texas

I have loved Billy Bob's food for years! The other 2 locations (Castroville, Devine) are just as good. My favorite is the Hondo Owl Special- right sized burger and fries. I really, really love their burgers. The onion rings are fantastic. Try adding an avocado to your burger- yum! Location is old but clean. Small with picnic table style seating. read more

Good food, sometimes they are overwhelmed with customers which leads them to have half of a smile or frown depending on how you look at things. I do recommend this place. read more

My brother in law from Austin says this is the BEST burger in Texas and I would have to agree. Stop in and try it out for yourself, you will not be disappointed! read more

Nothing fancy here, but a solid, cooked to order burger and fries or chicken strips! The service is not friendly but get the job done. They have a drive thru. We were starving on our way back home and everything else seems to be closed on Monday so this hit the spot! read more

I guess southern hospitality only applies if you're in the city. I ordered a 1/2lb patty giant burger, and they left out the patty. I was 2 miles out and didn't bother to turn back anymore. I can't see how you could've left it out, unless it was done on purpose. read more

Billy Bob's Hamburgers - Burgers Near Me - Hondo, Texas

Love this spot great food great service and quick when your travelling through. Clean both in dining area and restrooms. Service is polite and helpful. read more

I had the cheeseburger, the wife had the catfish, both were great and I am talking homemade burgers, not fast food. We will come back again.

First of all, to Bob, MOVE you dipshit. It's not hard. You clearly don't like Hondo or Texas, or Uvalde for that matter, and your reviews shouldn't be trusted by anyone but people who are also sour and bitter about being forced to live somewhere they don't want to live. Second of all, Billy Bob's is not the best BBQ'd burger in the world. But it does hit the spot. Perhaps just because I grew up in Hondo and Billy Bob's reminds me of home. But I have always loved the crinkle cut french fries, the really greasy, really hot double burger, and the specials the daily deals they used to have (I assume they still do). The burgers are thin, and they are quite greasy. I do not think they are prefrozen though. Anyway, it's heads and tails above most fast food burgers. And that's all that really mattered to me. read more

I freaking love burgers and these definitely don't disappoint.... Great price for great food.

I'm sorry to say the BBQ here is not good at all, the meat is bland so you have to smother it in BBQ sauce. Not worth it.

Yummy! I love Billy Bobs. Tried this place once and I am addicted. I prefer the Castroville location. However, this Billy Bobs is just as good. Service has been so-and-so, but I love it anyways! The BLT sandwich is the best! And the burgers, of course, are the bomb. read more

Not worth the hype! Believe me, I was SO excited to try this place. I have had their burgers a few times now and they just are NOT that good. I would really rather go to Whataburger. Their burgers are dry with little taste. Such a shame, Billy Bob! read more

I ordered sweet potato fries (paid extra) and got regular fries instead. At the bottom of the bag of fries there was remains of fried catfish breading. Burger was mediocre, fell apart, too many condiments read more

Pretty good place. Went out on the bikes, found this place just by driving thru. Stopped, got the BBQ sliders which are like actual size burgers. Two beers, all for around 10 buck. And good... it's like a sore d;@k, ya can't beat it... read more

We love finding new burger joints but this place was just ok. The prices were great, though. Good hot fries, meat tasted ok - buns were cold. read more

Delicious food! Takes a while to get your order, but that's because they cook your order on the spot so it's fresh. Worth the wait. Only reason I can't give 5 stars, is because of one of the workers. I don't know what her name is, but she is dumber than a box of rocks. Always loudly chatting with the other employees while at the window taking your money, and can never get the drink orders right (despite having the ticket RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER FACE). Maybe it's all the piercings hindering her ability to actually read the receipt. Aside from her, I have zero complaints about this place. read more

Stopped here on the way home from a long weekend on the Frio. A good and greasy cheeseburger (I added avocado and green chiles) was just what the doctor ordered. Will definitely stop here again. read more

If only people knew the stuff I'm told about what happened in the back where they keep the hamburger buns, all I'll say is I'm never eating at the Hondo location again. read more

just had a 1/4 burger basket. Burger looked like it was cooked yesterday and it was a 1/4 alright-barely that high. I've had better at DQ. Fries were mushy. Nothing here folks, move on. read more

Best burgers!! (the bacon could be better prepared) Also, the tea needs some work

Wow great local burgers. Fresh ground daily. Fast service and not too crowded. If you want a big juicy burger this is the place to go.

I kept hearing about this place from friends, and finally got a chance to stop. Juicy burgers, good sized, and decent value for value. Fries are pretty generic and not terrible but not great. read more

My wife and I tried the Billy Bob's special for the first time last night and we agreed that it was probably the worst hamburgers we have ever had. My wife also had the onion rings and they was like a onion mush. We couldn't even get half way through the meals before we just threw them out. read more

You would think a burger place wouldn't be spectacular because it's BURGERS but oh my gosh, these burgers are juicy and flavorful and just EVERYTHING! I love that they have online ordering too!! Think I'll be getting BBB's again soon! read more

The burgers were the best burgers I tasted, But....it took 10 minutes for them to come out and I was starving but besides that it was amazing. read more

Great food and great service,they have burgers and fish. Fish is real not fake fish. Great prices.

I haven't stopped at Billy Bob's since 2003 when I retired from the railroad. We currently have a deer lease south of Bracketville, so on the way home today, I stopped for a burger. The food was just as good as I remembered 13 years ago! I got the Billy Bob Special: burger,fries, and a drink for $6.69. OMG!! I highly recommend swinging through and giving them a try. read more

On the way to or coming from Del Rio, make it a point to stop by this joint. Ignore the fact that you are talking to the cashier through a door that was cut in half or that the floor is pier and beam foundation, you didnt come for the ambiance damn it, you came to raise your cholesterol level, and this place WILL accomodate you! These are very good burgers. Juicy, with fresh ingredients. Not many good burger places between Del Rio and San Antonio, so give this place a try! read more

Best burger in a long time. Swiss mushroom lettuce tomato very fresh. Glad we stopped in. Yumm

I am not usually one to complain or even leave a review but repeated events demand action. I have problems with this restaurant every time my family eats there. They have yet to get one order correct on the first iteration and the staff is incredibly rude not only when I ask them to correct the issue, but upon initial order as well. This is not based off one single experience but several since Billybobs opened in Castroville. I typically do not take their indiscretions to heart but my latest experience with these amateurs has left me in a fit of rage. The young man who took my order was completely without respect and acted as if he was doing me a favor by taking my order. It took every ouch of self control not to resort to violence. They are massively overpriced and do not deliver a quality meal for the asking price. The fries are always cooked in old oil and the presentation of the burgers leaves something to be desired. -Christopher Lindsey Castroville resident read more

i took my son and hos baseball team to this stupid place that they call a restaurant gosh darn! im never coming here ever again! they messed up our gosh darn orders 5 times!!! never come here!! what the gosh darn is this place read more

MERCY!! We were returning from Garner and stopped in for a bite. WELL..My husband and I ordered the Billy Bob's special.It cost less then 12 dollars.We could not believe how amazing your burgers are.We travel quite a bit and I have eaten some good burgers..BUT this is the in the top 3 best burgers EVER!! Thank you Bob!! WE WILL BE BACK!! YUMMY!!! read more

Maybe some of the best hamburgers in Texas.... But they will mess up your order nine out of 10 times (not put cheese or bacon etc.).... Hondo location said that they do not take phone orders between 11 and two.... I pick up and keep driving so I guess I will stop at the Castrovil location.... I'm not going to wait 15 minutes for my order when I could just phoned it in.... Hondo location acts like it's my fault when they mess up the order and then re-run your credit card for $.50.... Basically their hamburgers are awesome but their service sucks read more

My family has stopped here every year on our way home from our annual Frio River trip. Stopping at Billy Bob's keeps us from dreading going home. They serve one of the best burgers I've ever had. I love the atmosphere. It is super laid back and homey feeling. You can even write your name on the tables! (Which we've all done over the years). I highly recommend! I love this little place! read more
