    Great local burger option for supporting a mom and pop restaurant. Burgers are great! I loved the option of having FRESH jalapeños on my burger instead of the usual pickled variety. Onion rings were average but I wasn't a fan of the French fries (has a sweet seasoning on them - kids liked them tho)

    Located near 35 this place is a must go to for both locals and people visiting. It's simple and welcoming. Anyone is sure to feel comfortable here. Decorated with all the info about the zipper ripper which is their legendary challenge. Look at the photo for information on it. The food here is made fresh, it's hot, and it's delicious. I ordered the jalapeno cheeseburger with sweet potato fries and it was delicious. The lettuce was crisp and fresh, cheese was perfectly melted, and the meat was well seasoned. My fries were cooked well and not soggy or overcooked like sweet potato fries sometimes get. The sodas were good too! I loved the root beer. It almost had a little vanilla taste to it. The onion rings were really crispy and hot too. The staff were really wonderful and kind.

    We were passing through and decided to grab a quick bite. Customer service: C (based on the lack of personality of the young cashier) Location: A Parking: B- (Available, but limited) Atmosphere: A Food quality: A- I'm not sure if the young lady working the cashier was new or unhappy, but her personality & customer service skills gave off "wet mop" vibes. However, the older lady working in the kitchen was very friendly and welcoming. She spoke to us along with the folks behind us. I was low-key worried the beef patties would be unseasoned and lacking flavor. I was pleasantly surprised with my first bite of the burger it was juicy and seasoned very well. The onion rings and fries were crispy and seasoned as well. Everything was delicious!!! Lastly, the entire restaurant was clean and smelled very fresh. Roni's pick

    G wants her bite. She loved the sweet potato  fries.

    Jetting down to ATX for the game and decided to see who had a great burger along the way. Just a few blocks off I35, you need to pop in and get this burger. Good old fashioned burger stand w friendly people and fast service. Lots of choices to make the burger the way you want. Oh, and there are epic brownies and Rice Krispie Treats as well as Ice Cream. Come on know. You know you want it.

    Hits the spot. This is a casual local burger joint that is fast and friendly. No hidden frills. Cheeseburger and fries will probably cost you around 8-9 bucks. Friendly staff, and clean environment. What makes this place truly special is the challenge the Zipper Ripper of eating a boatload of food in 12 minutes-- to see if you will win or lose! It is definitely very Texan and a great place to go for a quick bite with friends. Also they have a nice ice cream selection and speciality sodas. Locals love it.

    Double cheeseburger and onion rings

    Got dinner to go from here. Should've called it in because it took close to 20 mins for the order to be ready, even though they weren't terribly busyZ Ironically, the burgers taste a lot like Whataburger, which is a good thing in my book. They were pretty good overall, and the order was right and piping hot, so that's good too. My wife liked her sweet potato fries, but my daughter didn't care for her regular fries, and I wasn't wowed by the onion rings either. They looked better than they tasted....and I've seen very few onion rings I didn't like.nice had better burgers, but these weren't serviceable. I've definitely had better sides from a burger joint.

    A great pit stop en route to Dallas…read more Came in hungry and left very happy. I got the daily quiche with fruit and was honestly shocked by how much fruit they give you. It came with this amazing poppyseed dip that made it even better. We also ordered the cheese poppers with jalapeño ranch and definitely underestimated them. They were crispy, curdy, and super addictive. The chicken fried steak was another win. Hand-breaded, flavorful, and covered in their homemade gravy. Straight-up comfort food. Dessert is a must. We got the banana pudding meringue and absolutely demolished it. It's said to be one of the owner's mother's recipes. The atmosphere has a clean 1950s vibe with retro decor and vintage car parts everywhere, which was pretty fun and different. Our server, Cindy, was super friendly and gave great recommendations. Overall, really solid experience. Would definitely come back.

    The ambiance alone is worth the stop. Even if you just pop in to eat some of their in house made…read moredesserts at their small bar top area. The retro themed eatery with gas themed memorabilia is an eye pleaser. The meals are served in old hubcaps, just to keep you submerged in that classic ol' timeliness. Regular burger was delicious with a side car of their fried okra. Kids meals are a wow factor as they use those 3D cardboard replica boxes of cars. Ours now drives around Barbie dolls! Their hours can be a bit inconvenient if you don't plan accordingly to eat here (open 11AM-2PM). Don't let that stop you for adding them to your Waco vacation plans!

    There are a lot of Yelp complaints about the Cracker Barrel at Bellmead…read more According to the voters, the quality of the food has gone dramatically down. My fried chicken dinner was completely fine. There was more fried chicken than I could possibly eat. More than I can possibly eat is always a good thing. * * * Is this A) dedicated Cracker Barrel traditionalists fuming after the attempt-to-change-the-logo fiasco? B) a local restaurant with a lousy manager who let things go to the bow-wows? C) a systemic decline in a the whole chain brought on by the same brain-out-to-lunch MBAs who had the change-the-logo idea in the first place? D) a global crisis in the supply chain based on an inability to get good biscuit flour from China? I suspect we can rule out Explanation D. But then I would have ruled out Cracker Barrel trying to change their logo as well. As for the other three explanations, I would have to eat a lot of Cracker Barrel meals at a lot of Cracker Barrel locations before I could answer that question with certainty. Not an awful prospect since Cracker Barrel meals tend to be pretty good. * * * That said, if you are really worried about some impending Cracker Barrel Crisis, Order Fried Chicken.
