    The Frumunder burger(two beef patties plus chopped brisket and two kinds of gooey melted cheese) and the brisket cheese fries!  MMMMMMMM‼
    Dave M.

    You have to be looking for this place! It is well worth stopping in! Come early, it opens at noon and there was already a line. They definitely feed you well, if you leave hungry it's because you wanted to.

    Chili cheese, fries, and the cup

    Everything was absolutely delicious! From the moment I opened the box, I could tell this was gonna hit different and it DID. The loaded fries were cheesy, meaty, and full of flavor. Portions were generous and the food tasted fresh and homemade. You can tell the people behind this spot care about what they're serving. This is the kind of place that deserves WAY more attention. If you're in Corpus Christi and haven't tried El Vago yet, you're missing out! Flavor 10/10 Quality 10/10 Satisfaction 10/10 I'll definitely be back. Highly recommend!

    Honey bun burger
    Monica M.

    A must try! We arrived literally 1 minute after they opened and there was already a line so I knew the food was going to be good! The line went by quick. The staff was friendly. The food is made fresh and came out in a timely manner. They have picnic tables that are covered so you can either sit there or take your order to go. I ordered the honey bun burger and figured I would either love it or hate it...I loved it! It was the perfect combination of sweet, salty and the patty was cooked to perfection. I will definitely be back!

    Brisket plate. Go get some!!!

    So we picked up some good food based on reviews. I had the brisket plate with the fixings. Beans rice potatoes salad. Beans are tasty, rice is incredible, potato salad is excellent... Oh my So so tender n tasty brisket. Hubs had the hamburger says it was goo. The fries batter is yum yum. Prices are not bad. Portions are decent This will be my new BBQ go to Place. Highly recommend. Great speedy service too

    Burgers are good. Nice size portions. The brisket sandwich was ok. It was a little on the dry side. Needed a bit more barbecue sauce.

    I love this place. It's probably my son's favorite restaurant in all of Corpus. He's the third…read moregeneration in my family to love the burgers here. My parents used to take me to the original location back in the 80s, and it was always a great experience. Back then you stood in line, ordered at the counter, and had more of a self-service experience. I think I still prefer that style over the newer sit-down service, but that may just be nostalgia talking. My son and I stopped in on a late Saturday afternoon while we were out around town digging through vinyl shops. He immediately requested Wallbanger's. Our waitress, Fantasia, was great and pointed out they had a $5 half-order appetizer special during happy hour. We started with mozzarella sticks and chipotle BBQ boneless wings. The mozzarella sticks do seem a little different from what I remember at the original spot, but these were still fresh, hot, gooey, and really good. The marinara they serve with them is great. The boneless wings were solid too, and their chipotle BBQ sauce is one of my favorites. My son ordered the crispy chicken sandwich with that same chipotle BBQ sauce. The sandwich was huge and he ended up taking half of it home to finish later. I went with the Uncle Sam burger, which is a classic burger setup with bacon added. It was very good. Their sidewinder fries are always on point. One thing that deserves special attention here is the bun. They make their buns in house and they're excellent. Fresh, soft, and full of flavor. It's not just something holding the burger together. The bun is part of what makes the whole burger experience work. This place has been part of my family's routine for decades now. I hope it sticks around long enough for a fourth generation of my family to enjoy it.

    We don't get out to sit down spots as much as we used to. It's getting harder to justify the cost…read morethese days. That said, we made a trip to Hopdoddy recently and I was surprised at how reasonable it ended up being for a family of four. I went with the double bacon jam burger. The meat was well seasoned and cooked right, and the bun held up with everything going on, which isn't always the case. My son had a classic burger and finished it fast with no complaints. My daughter is picky and went with the grilled cheese, but even that disappeared without a fight, which says a lot. My wife ordered the Nashville hot sandwich and it came out as a huge piece of chicken. She couldn't finish it, but my son had no problem stepping in later. We shared the parmesan truffle fries and the regular hand cut fries. Both were crispy and paired well with everything else. The place was busy during a weekend lunch rush, but the staff stayed friendly and kept things moving. Food came out quick, and the place looked clean despite the crowd. We'll definitely be back.

    Good atmosphere, friendly and pleasant staff, clean…read more Fries salty enough to burn your tongue! Was told by staff that's the norm; the chain prefers to be known as well seasoned, not bland. I genuinely appreciate seasoned food. Fries and burgers cooked without salt can't be "fixed" with a salt shaker once they get to the table. So I get that. But this a ridiculous amount of salt! To the point where you can't even taste the actual food because your tastebuds were just preserved in salt, like jerky. Were they even potatoes? While I've now been informed I can request less salt in the future, I believe I fundamentally disagree with this company's philosophy if this is truly their targeted salt level. From this point forward, I shall call them "Saltdoddy" as I drive on by.
