From the moment we were seated, everything was seamless. Seating was quick, service was fast, and our server went above and beyond -- great recommendations, and such a warm, welcoming attitude. We're visiting Texas from California to see family, and this was our first experience dining out here. I honestly cannot say enough good things. After reading some negative reviews beforehand, I was a little unsure, but I truly don't understand them. Yes, the food took slightly longer than what I'm used to--but even that wait was not long at all, and it was 100% worth it for the absolutely fantastic food we were served. If anything, I imagine those complaints may have come from much busier times. Overall, this experience exceeded expectations. Between the incredible food and top-tier service, it made our first dining experience in Texas an amazing one. We will absolutely be back when we're visiting family again! read more

It's a true Texas beer joint. Great burgers, cold beer, been there well over 60 years. A true Texas institution, made better by the patrons. read more

Ed's Place - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Taylor, Texas

Will not go back. No lock on the ladies restroom and they allow smoking in a building that is super small. While the food was ok, and they also have a pool table, it doesn't make up for any of this. The lady working was okay. I still just won't go back to this whole establishment. read more

Awesome hamburgers! Ed's is "like stepping back in time." The hamburgers come out steaming!

This small restaurant and bar is VERY rustic to say the least. Before you start your visit here, you need to know that this is a cash only establishment. There is no craft beer available here other than Shiner and dos XX. However, they make a really good burger at a great price, but they have no french fries, just chips. Burgers are cooking fresh so you can expect a 15 minute wait. Apparently you can smoke inside this establishment. If you're looking for a clean, modern corporate place to dine, this is NOT it. The photos included will give you a better idea. read more

Great Service Friendly Atmosphere Fat Juicy Burgers Made Fresh to Order (by the owner) Inexpensive Cold Beer Small Town Feel (in a small town) Huge Selection of Chips (no fries) **Pro Tip: Cash only....but there is a bank across the street read more

Really like Ed's "old-fashioned" burgers and dive bar atmosphere. Unfortunately, during our last visit, several regulars at the bar were having a political discussion complete with racial slurs including the "n word". It could be heard over the music at least half way across the place. I wish the Ed's employee standing near them had discouraged it but that never happened. It ruined our meal and any future meals there, which is too bad because Taylor doesn't have a lot of dining choices. read more

Service was great, and the double cheeseburger for eight dollars and change is the best burger I've had in a while. Maybe ever. Very small menu and no french fries but if a burger is what you were looking for this is the place. Oh. read more

Looking for a great hamburger? Ed's Place in Taylor has it. Currently curbside pick-up, this hole in the wall delivers a great tasting burger.

Ed's Place - Single cheese burger all the way with mustard! - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Taylor, Texas

Food is good. Service sucks. Why bother listing the hours and phone number if nobody answers the phone??! I would give this place a lot more of my business if they only made it easier to do so. They clearly don't need the business. It's a grind to just place an order. You basically have to show up in person to place an order which you may or may not get within 15 minutes to an hour depending on their day. You can wait for your order inside a cigarette smoke infused bar or outside in 100 degree temperature if smoke stinks up your senses too much. Sorry. Done trying. No mas. read more

Limited menu featuring outstanding burgers. No sides available with the exception of chips. Cash only.

Great little hole in the wall with the best cheeseburger. Cheryl handles the bar and orders with friendly grace and excellent service!

We loved it here! They are soo nice and the Food is phenomenal!!! Worth a visit for sure!!

Best burger ever! It's a hole in the wall with hole in the wall charm. I wish they were open longer/more days because I crave these damn burgers often!!!!! Lol but probably a good thing that they are not for my cholesterol sake. If you're in Taylor and they are open get a burger. You won't regret it!! CASH only! Pro tip, there's an ATM across the street. read more

I found the place by chance and I do not regret it, good prices ($ 6.50 for a delicious and big cheeseburger) and attentive and friendly employees. read more

Ed's is so popular it doesn't need Yelp to like it. Best burgers around and the kind of place that is honestly too cool to be reviewed if you just don't know. Eat a burger, drink a beer, watch a football game and pay homage, people. read more

I always noticed the backside of the cool old building that houses Ed's Place (with it's great vintage sign touting burgers) whenever I would eat at Mueller's which is in the adjoining lot. I finally went in last week and what a surprise! The place is true old-school in it's look and the way the owner runs it. My girlfriend and I sat at the bar and were warmly greeted by longtime employee Kathye. The place was originally a family owned bar (beer only) for many years, then the current owners father decided to put in a grill after his local favorite burger joint closed down. Now his son (David) owns the place and has kept it pretty much like it was when opened way back when. The have a GREAT cheeseburger, made to order, and the meat has a wonderful peppery smell/taste. Huge bonus points for them grilling the buns along side the meat!!! They don't serve fries, but do have a nice selection of chips. They also have a great selection of value-priced icy cold beer to go along with the meal. They also offer several other items on the menu. There are many old fixture to look at that are hanging all over the place, and especially funny are the witticisms tacked up behind the bar from David the owner like, "Buy Two, Get Them Both!" Super cool story about the huge mural painted on the inside brick wall way back in the early 1900's! They also have a KILLER jukebox loaded with many old-school country favorites like Gary Stewart, Ernest Tubb, Hank Williams, Charlie Pride, and more. There are even a few classic rock cds for the younger crowd. The staff (David and Kathye) could not have been more friendly as they told many stories about the history of the place and the regulars that come there. Best of all was when I asked about their hours, and the owner handed me his card and said, "best call first to make sure I'm not out fishin'"..... Will be going back very soon! read more

The BEST burger in town by far. Also try the Mexican hot dog it's pretty good! The beer is ice cold perfect temperature it's a must! Staff is very friendly as well. read more

Walking into Ed's Place is like taking a step back in time. In fact, my grandfather used to hang out here back in the day. I think some of the same wall art is still there. The burgers here are unmatched. Fresh, hot and made to order, this is old-school, small town cuisine that reminds you that life is too short to settle for some fast-food drive-through burger wannabe. Their KISS approach (Keep It Simple, Stupid) is refreshing. Short menu, cash only, friendly service and reasonable prices make the quirky vintage atmosphere that much sweeter. Come in, take a load off, and enjoy great food and good company. You owe it to yourself to experience this little salute to days gone by. read more

So there's this little hole in the wall place that's very easy to miss behind Louie Mueller BBQ that I've always considered eating at, but never have, until today. I love our bbq, but when you eat it 5/7 days of the week, sometimes you crave something different. It's called Ed's Place. If you drive by, you may think they're closed. It's a bar inside, they serve burger and sandwiches, chips, and beer/alcohol. That's about it. They only accept cash. But this cheeseburger...is one of, if not the best I've had. I'd put it in my top 3 with Top Notch and In n Out, only cheaper! $4.75 (that's including tax) for a giant, fresh, hot burger. I just wish I had given it a chance sooner! I just finished the whole thing (that hardly happens with me and any food, usually resulting in leftovers) and want another. I will refrain from being a fat kid, but I will be returning! read more

Not sure what they do, but their burgers are the best in & around Austin. The seasoning is fantastic, the sautéed onions, comes out hot & yummy. The place is just a whole in the wall, good honest food & people. Love this place! read more

When you think of burgers and cold beer there's no place that fits the bill other than Ed's. Place. Lenea and David run a quaint establishment in Taylor, Tx where everybody knows your name and the burgers are better than filet mignon. The people are mostly local because we know the best places to eat although nobody living out of Texas is turned away. Bring cash or walk across the street to the bank and use the ATM. One of the few places around true to their roots. read more

Do you like a dark little hole in the wall bar, that just so happens to serve great food? This is the place. David (current owner) is the son of Ed, the founder. He's as friendly as they come and will sit and talk with you about anything and everything. The ladies he has working with him are just as interesting, and just as friendly. I'm lucky to have found this little place. The food is great and inexpensive, the beer is cheap and ice cold, friendly people, and the jukebox has great music in it. Can't ask for much more than that from a true Texas bar. Thanks for keeping this place down to Earth and in your family David. read more

I LOVE DIVE BARS!!!..I once spent 7 months just driving around the USA and going to Dive Bars.. Found Ed's by accident, pretty darn good double cheeseburger, 2 bud light cans and a bag of chips around $11.00. My problem is I am one of those avid non smokers and they allow smoking.. BUT I will be back.. What a bar should be. My 2nd visit.. read more

One of the best burgers in town. Very reasonable price and very delicious. Good hometown environment.

I have only been to this place once so far. It was early winter at night. The place was packed and I have to assume that they were regulars as everyone seemed to know everyone else. I had a cheeseburger and some beers, and the prices were reasonable. The hamburger was greasy and good, but not near as good as Ferrari's. This place is much more of a bar than Ferrari's though, so its not really a fair comparison in that regards. Like many places in Taylor, they do not take credit cards so bring cash. read more

Sit down, have a beer with Lenea and David and the locals show up. The burgers are better than you can eat anywhere. A hometown favorite. Order your burger and if you want potato chips, they have them. Nothing fluffy about this place. Just good damn burgers and good company read more

One of the best burgers I've ever had and I've had a lot from all over the world. Great dive bar. One of those places you walk in to and everyone looks at you. Funny. read more

Love this place! They have the best, old fashioned burgers around. They remind me of the hamburgers I used to get at a little joint across from my old high school. One of these burgers and a beer? What else is there to say? The people that run it are really nice too. Wonderful, small town, local spot! read more

Holy heart attack on a bun! This is the best burger we have had in a bar hands down....and we've tried a few. The double is the only way to go although it may be hard to finish and walk out on your own! The burgers are huge. They are so fresh. They get fresh ground meat daily and all their veggies are crispy and cold. The beers are frosty cold and cheap. The service is great. The regulars will never let you "in" no matter how many times they see you which is A-OK with me. I like being stared at. It can get super busy so be prepared to wait. It's worth it. read more

Unfortunately I never got a chance to eat here because I walked in at 4:30 and it closes at 5. Very interesting place. I'm sure there is a story why the Christmas decorations are still up in the middle of April. read more

GREAT Small Town TEXAS Bar!!! Ice Cold Beer, Damn GOOD Burgers and here everyone knows your name. No need to go anywhere else. Incredible wait staff and they keep it simple at Ed's Beer, Burger's and Chips. read more

So we were recommended by several Pflugerville residents on Facebook when we asked "where can we grab a good burger?" Lots of people commented "Ed's in Taylor. Best burger I've ever had!" So today I took my mom and my three year old there for lunch. With an open mind we were ready to explore! We missed the place once because we were looking for a Dairy Queen storefront type place. Came back and were like "oh boy, here we go!" We walked into this small, all wood and brick building. Old mismatched tables, posters, antiques, and lights. A large bar, and plenty of seating was available. The locals were grouped up in the back drinking canned beer at 1:00pm having a great time and we thought that was great since my Dad owned a very similar restaurant by Lake Travis. They were loud but definitely not inappropriate or rude. Every now and then we got a whiff of cig smoke but we were there 100% for the full experience and didn't mind it for a lunch. The girl was super nice and knowledgable, the menu- super simple and with no overhead for them. Okay guys... This cheeseburger was INCREDIBLE, I still can't get over how the seasoning and overall taste was freaking mind blowing good. Greasy, hot, just... Holy crap. They offer chips instead of fries. Sodas and bottled waters are $1 each. I'm not kidding... So simple there's no work for you to do! We loved the overall feel, real cozy if you just relax a little. This bartender is a true country cutie! A real sweetheart. She even brought a candy bucket for my son since he ate his grilled cheese. :). Recommended 100%!!! Thank you for the great experience! read more
