    Always quality food and service. Great for takeout. You order over the phone and it's always ready in about 10 minutes. The family that runs the place clearly care about excellent quality and service and are always polite and professional and the food is always prepared well and fresh.

    The service is great and so nice! They have a huge variety of gourmet burgers and also their fried catfish baskets are delicious! Music ambiance is nice as well

    Wow, so happy we finally stopped in for lunch at this burger joint. The inside is super groovy. I love the vive and feel of this place. Surprised that they actually have a vegetarian burger option. Not only that but it was the best tasting so far I've had. My husband got a regular burger with mushrooms and jalapeños. He was very happy with his big burger. The meals came with a lot of fries, neither one of us could finish the meal. Also need to add that the staff here was above and beyond friendly. I wish more places were as happy at there jobs like this place. The only negative thing I would say about this place is the ceiling was dusty. :(

    This place has the absolute best burgers. I've been here several times to dine in. I have also carried out. Each time has been a pleasant experience. They are very timely. The normal fries are great. I just tried the chili fries for the first time. Reference the picture. They were very good but a little greasy. This place is law enforcement friendly and Garland officers are here often. The lunch specials are pretty good considering it's fresh burgers. The burger burger in my pic is a pound of meat between two patties and it's still under 7.00. Give them a shot you won't regret it!

    Chicken Nachos was great but greasy...

    I love this place...I go here almost 3-4 times a week and they greet me with a smile every time. Whether you want to eat lunch or dinner this is a place to stop by. They're friendly, fast and serve great portion meals that will put you to sleep & have you coming back the next day.

    This is my second time eating here and second time getting the lunch special mushroom burger (no onions). It is AMAZING!! The mushrooms are cooked perfectly and the burger is seasoned perfectly. I'll definitely be back. I'm not a fan of the fries which is why I knocked a star.

    Huge huge burgers and amazing fries, cooked in peanut oil, the best way. This is my go-to cheat meal place and absolutely worth it. I ask for no seasoning in the fries but that's just me.

    What drew me is I remembered having eaten a great burger from a place in the area a long while ago…read more The pictures of burgers looks good and the name sounded right so we stopped by. The parking lot was like what I remembered but inside was a different layout so I am not sure if it was the same spot. Anyway, prices were very reasonable! When the food came out, we could immediately see it passed the eye test--cheese drizzling, real meat, grilled bun. First bite was excellent--I could taste the grilled bun, the flavor of the burger and even the crisped grilled parts of the meat. All other bites, just the same. Had me audibly saying "yum". On top of that, they offered horchata to drink and it was delicious. The fries weren't only well seasoned but they also had an usual kick of heat. This will be my go-to burger spot when I'm in the Garland area. Thanks for being great and charging fairly!

Tonight I went and took my boyfriend for the first time and the girl behind the counter had the worst attitude ever. When asking questions about the menu she was very dry in her reply as if we were bothering her. There was a group that was already seated prior to us coming in. We had about 6 groups come in after and 3 others stayed as we did too. We ordered our food despite the attitude and sat down. Seating is tight but we didn't mind. We paid 3 something for our tea. While filling it up it ran out. When asked if there was more a snarky remark was no I'm not making anymore and proceeded to try and charge 3.60 something for one of the juices to refill. When asked for bbq it was $.50 and ranch was $1.25 for a 2oz cup. The attitude from the lady that is the face when we walk in wasn't needed and I don't think no matter how good the food was that I will be returning nor recommending anymore

This unassuming restaurant tucked in a corner of nondescript row of stores has stood the test of time. My first review of the place was in 2013. Here it is 13 years later then it is still going strong. I went for lunch with the family on a snow day. You order at the counter and they bring it to your table. No numbers, they just remember who you are. I always get combo number 1 and add sweet potato fries. The prices are great and not much more than McDonalds but the difference in value is significant. The burgers are not thick but this time I noticed the double burger (#2) is just a couple of bucks more than the the single patty in #1. Note to self for next time. Although the patty is thin, the flavors work. The burger comes with lettuce, tomato, onion, and mustard. No ketchup, you add that yourself. The bun with sesame seeds always comes out piping hot. Sweet potato fries are crispy and not greasy. The combo comes with a drink for $10.99. That's a deal. I hope they stay in business another 13 years!

The patties are juicy, the buns are toasted perfectly, and everything tastes fresh and made with care. You can tell they are not trying to be trendy. They are just focused on making a solid burger every single time. It is the kind of place you keep coming back to because it never disappoints. Quick, simple, and consistently good. If you care more about flavor than atmosphere, this is the spot.

I ordered the turkey burger along with sweet potato fries. Unfortunately, I was brought regular fries instead, and neither the fries nor the burger really matched my personal taste preferences. That said, food is subjective, and what didn't work for me may be exactly what someone else enjoys. The service was okay overall, and one thing I did appreciate was seeing people genuinely interacting and talking with each other. In a world where everyone is often glued to their phones, it was nice to see a place that seemed to encourage conversation and connection. While my meal wasn't a favorite, I can understand why this place attracts a crowd. I'd still recommend giving it a try and deciding for yourself, especially if you're looking for a casual burger spot with a busy, social atmosphere.

    Went there for the first time on a Friday night around 7:00. The place was around 40% full…read more Atmosphere was cozy casual, great music that wasn't too loud, and clean. You order at the counter and then wait for your food to be brought to you. The girl who took our order was very pleasant and helpful. I got the Irish nacho but I substituted onion strings for the french fries and she happily made the substitution. The burger was pretty thick and nicely char grilled. I love a good char. It was very good. My only complaint was that I like mine a little less well done cuz it might have been a little overcharred and a tad dry for my liking, but I think that could be rectified by just ordering it medium next time. The bun is toasted which I love. It comes with ranch dressing which was definitely made in-house and delicious (and I'm a ranch snob). It had lots of melted cheddar cheese and onion strings on it. I thoroughly enjoyed it. My husband got the hatch green chili burger and he loved it tho he said his was a little overdone as well. The kids both got the classic burger which comes with two smash patties instead of the one thicker one and they said that theirs was good as well. I got the sweet potato waffle fries which were a little thinner than I'm used to but I actually preferred it that way cuz they weren't soggy and had a little crispiness to the edges. The drinks come in a plastic cup that you can take home with you which I love. So overall very good and pleasantly surprised first visit. Only complaints were that, again, the burgers were a little overcooked and I'll order medium next time and it was a little pricey... $70 for the four of us getting combos.

Asked for water, as I don't drink soft drinks or tea and the young man told me "we don't give cups for water, what do you want to drink". I said nothing to drink then and got my bottled water from the car. People should be able to have water with their meal, even if you have to charge for the cup or sell bottled water. Just my opinion. Sandwich was tasty but I didn't taste/see much cheese, supposedly Swiss? O rings were good and crispy, fair portion. Side of cheese sauce was TINY, fyi. Service at the counter was friendly other than the refusing a cup for water. Manager/owner came thru dining room to check on customers, good move. I didn't like the credit card surcharge (without being told or signage advising) as I had cash. 15% tip for counter service with the CC surcharge made my sandwich and o rings $18 and I had to provide my own water. Pricey lunch. Dining room could use a good sweeping, washing and painting. Both restrooms had signs on the door that they were out of order, but employees used them?
