    Lunch counter

    We saw this little hole in the wall on one of our many trips up and down I35 but hadn't stopped til Today. Cupps is a small restaurant located Just off the access road a block. We enjoy experiencing the Mom and Pop Businesses along our travels. We popped in to fine about 5 booths and a long lunch counter with a row of stools so you can watch the action at the grill. While it wasn't much to look at, the staff was friendly, tables were clean and their bacon cheeseburger and fresh cuts fries were some of the best I can recall ever having. I'm Glad we stopped and we be back again for sure

    Lunch plate. Just nothing but delicious

    Eaten here on several occasions and it never disappoints. Today was the steak finger lunch plate and hubby had the double double cheeseburger. Great staff, super friendly. Lucky enough to score a booth. Their hours are 11-2. YUM YUM! Your tummy will thank you.

    This hole in the wall joint made the best burgers! We ordered a cheeseburger basket that came with a burger, small fry, and can soda. I was a little apprehensive because of the looks of the place, but was splendidly surprised when I got my food. Burger was moist, fresh vegetables inside, fries homemade. Everything is cooked in the open where you can see it. I'm so glad we came by. I definitely would come again. Oh, and the service was friendly. That's always a plus. Because of these things, I can overlook the way the place looked.

    Found this gem on Yelp and decided to give it a try after reading the menu and reviews. SO glad we…read moredid! It's off the beaten path which is nice because we were able to find parking. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and directed to choose a table of our preference. The waitress quickly came over and grabbed our drink order while we looked at the menu. We placed our order and the waitress was very knowledgeable and able to answer our questions. She also informed us they work as a team so we can stop anyone when/if we need something. We started with the "Burning Bush" appetizer (crispy Brussel sprouts w/ lemon garlic aioli). YUM! They had just the right bite to them, and the glaze on them paired with the aioli was delicious! For our entrees we had the Golden Calf Burger w/ sweet potato fries and sriracha aioli and The Weight of Glory Sandwich w/ broccoli slaw. They were both incredibly flavorful and fresh! You can tell they locally source their ingredients and prepare them onsite. The portions are also plentiful, and we left with a takeout box. To round off lunch we tried the special mousse on the specials board (coffee flavored cheesecake mousse). It was so delightful we dug in before I could snap a pic. Just enough coffee flavor paired with chocolate sauce (not hersheys ). The big windows allow for a lot of natural light and lends to a welcoming and warm environment. We will for sure be back and bring others!

    I always swing by here for a fantastic burger in the way to Austin. Iove farm to table spots and…read moretheir golden calf burger while coleslaw was divine. I especially enjoyed how the herbed goat cheese mixed with the lemon aioli (aioli is garlic mayo so the garlic is redundant in the menu) and beef patty. That combo was deadly to me, oof Some nice cold coleslaw to compliment the hot burger was a nice mix. I still haven't forgotten how heavy their tomato soup is! So packed with flavor omg. Friendly + quick staff as always and gorgeous wooden seating.

For dessert, Apple pie with ice cream -- good and reliable. Lemon meringue pie -- disappointing despite a well-executed meringue; crust crumbly; texture and taste didn't quite align, with a subtle metallic lemon note.

We got seated right away around 1:30 pm on a Friday. There appeared to be only two servers covering the entire room but they did a pretty good job of it. Our waiter, a young man was quite pleasant and knowledgeable. He used an electronic order taking device and was able to customize anything we asked for, right in the device. Three of us ordered shakes. My friend loves Coconut Cream Pie, which they have and she was considering a shake. I suggested she ask our server if he could make her a Coconut Cream Pie shake with vanilla ice cream. Sure enough, he did it and it was quite tasty. For lunch, we ordered as follows: - Patty Melt with Tots (shared by my wife and I) - Kids Finger Basket with 1 Chicken and 1 Steak finger and tots - Steak Finger Basket with Tots The food was very diner diner-like (fried or flat top grilled) and it was tasty. This was a decent and fun lunch and we'd stop here again.
