Whenever we're in the RGV and Gonzales Burgers is open, we go. Epic and one of a kind experience owned by an amazing family.

Solid, honest, fresh made, hand crafted burger, best in the RGV. Period. (Oh, don't forget fries and/or rings.) read more

Food is 4* Serving size is large enough for 2 to share. We had a cheeseburger and fries with a water. Meat was moist and juicy without being super fat. The buns were good too. Service was great for what it is. You place your order, get a number and when your number is called, you go pick it up. Ambience was 3* as it was ok. There was no one wiping down tables. I actually took my wet ones and wiped down a picnic table outside. I also removed as well as picked up some garbage to make a spot for us to sit. After our number was called though, we were able to sit with another couple to eat inside. There aren't a lot of tables since it's not a very big place. Thankfully a lot of orders were for pickups. read more

Burger is a good decent burger. I have had better mom and pop burgers and for less. Nothing special about burgers or fries. Sodas are $2 a can Coke. Sold me on not coming to this place again. .75 cents ok but damn. Place is ok but a little dirty. No parking, only open a couple hours and only cash. $20-$30 per person. read more

Gonzales Berta's Burgers - Bacon cheese burger - American Near Me - Donna, Texas

The burger taste is normal. The fries are nothing special . The whole restaurant smells bad as soon as you walk in. The smell is probably the smell of old/ burned oil. The flies are all over your food unless you swar them away. They do have plenty of napkins, possibly to cover your food to keep the flies out. The restroom floor was very wet and slippery to maneuver. I felt that the owners could care less about customers feel about the place. Very expensive. I paid $19.00 for a cheeseburger, fries and a can of coke. Too expensive for what you're getting. I would not go there again, it's not worth it. You can eat better at any other restaurant. read more

I know this is supposed to be a really special place, sought out by Winter Texans. Seen on the Texas Bucket List TV show and all, but... In my opinion it's just, meh.... The burgers ARE HUGE. Reported to be 12 oz. They are griddled on a flat top. We ordered a cheeseburger which came loaded with lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion and mustard. They added mayonnaise on my request. The burger itself was cooked nicely with maybe a tiny bit of pink in the middle. It wasn't dry which was nice. It just wasn't anything spectacular either. It certainly didn't know my socks off. The burger was $13. If you wanted fries, that was extra. We chose the onion rings, even though they were $9. For that price we got 7 onion rings! Don't get me wrong, for onions rings they were decent but again, nothing outrageously good. Just ok. The burger was big enough that the wife and I split it. That, the onion rings and two cans of Diet Coke cost $26. Kinda steep in my opinion. I'd choose to go to nearby Tower Burger. But now I can say I went to Gonzalez Burger. It's a one and done for me. FYI the place is in a housing area in a nondescript beige building and can easily be missed. They have limited hours of operation, opening at 11am and the day we were they're the Closed sign went up at 1:50 pm. read more

Best burger in the valley. Friendly service and clean environment. Fact that they are cowboys fans are a plus. read more

Gonzales Berta's Burgers - Best burger in the valley. - American Near Me - Donna, Texas

Winter Texans love this Hamburger restaurant that is famous in the Valley for fresh meat served each day.

This is just a little hole in the wall with great burgers. The meat is ground fresh daily. The onion rings are superb. Get there early because when they run out of meat they close. It's a very popular place for Winter Texans and locals alike. read more

Great burgers. If you are a burger lover you have to come to this place. The burgers are huge and seasoned very well. Simple and to the point. Cheese and bacon are the only extras along with another huge beef patty. You can chiose between fries, onion rigs or chipsI ordered the bacon cheese burger with extra cheese because why not. The only thing i was not a huge fan of was their fries. I love fries just not their fries. Something was missing. Not bad just not great. Onion rings looked good but did not have any. read more

I've been coming to this establishment for as long as I can remember. A staple of Donna, TX, this business has been a prominent restaurant in the community for as long as I can remember. My late father would tell us of a time when he was able to buy a burger and soda for .25 cents in the 70s. They used to have booths and my grandmother would bring all the grandkids to have a burger. Everything is separate here, there are no combos, but I personally don't mind. The burgers are HUGE and they prep their meat everyday. If you haven't stopped by, I recommend this place. read more

Best burgers in the world can feed a family of 4 Love this place. Must try it's so yummy read more

Very good burger and big. Way over priced. ($13) for a cheeseburger by itself. Large fries were the size you would normally get in a restaurant for a single serving and $8. Staff not friendly at all. We probably won't go back because of the cost, but we enjoyed the food. There were only a few tables inside, so we had to eat outside and the flies were terrible. read more

Best burgers in town dont order any side because there is no way to finish all this food

Walk to the counter to order and watch the burgers being thrown on the grill. Cash only. The burgers are HUGE. One would easily feed 2 adults. The onion rings were off the chain crispy and delicious,so were the burgers. read more

Ok. Word of mouth, they don't even have a sign! Incredible, huge burgers. Open 11-2, they grind their own burger and go through 300 lbs of meat in that time. Line up before they open. Mostly take out but many dined in. Burger cooked all the through, ONE pound patty!! This place is popular with winter Texans and locals. Workmen and cops stop in. Strictly word of mouth. No frills. One entree. WOW. read more

This joint made the Texas Bucket List and I see why. They grind and season their meat fresh each morning. Portions are Texas sized. Hidden in a residential neighborhood, but well worth the effort to find it! Only open 6 days a week, September to May, they take summers off. read more

Best burgers around! If you're looking for a classic burger you can't go wrong here. Fresh ground meat everyday.

BEST BURGERS AROUND! The wait is about an hour, the seating is horrible but it's all so worth it. They remind me of the burgers that my Grandmother would make... Huge, simple and delicious. It's CASH only, so bring some loot. Don't show up after 2 P.M. since they will probably be out of patties by then. read more

Fresh handmade huge burgers. One will feed 2.people.

Best burger anywhere in the valley by far. Small not much seating but the food is by far a big plus when you have time to wait for it. Don't be in a hurry read more

This place has the best burger I have EVER had. Period. Nothing fancy, just burgers, fries and drinks. They are only open 11-3 Tues-Sat, so you need to plan ahead. Also, the wait can be up to an hour before your meal is actually ready. Ordinarily, this would be a "minus", but this food is totally worth waiting for. The owners, Victoria and Nora, have worked here 47 and 35 years respectively! That's a lot of burger-making, and it shows in their product. The meat is so flavorful and fresh. The burgers are literally 7 inches in diameter and fall out of the bun. The fries are very good, but not as good as the burgers. Go have lunch there - you won't regret it!!! read more

FYI they are not open Sundays read more

Gonzales Berta's Burgers - Burgers cooking - American Near Me - Donna, Texas

Met our friend Jo in Donna Texas for an incredible burger at a "don't judge a book by it's cover" place. Thank goodness we had a local with us because it is off the beaten trail with no sign or anything. Locals just call it Gonzales Burgers (on Yelp, search for Gonzales Berta's Burgers). Expect a wait, but so worth it. Check it out! read more

Best hamburger in the Rio Grand Valley! A group of seniors enjoyed the onion rings with hamburger!

A local secret in Donna...only open in the Fall and Winter. ENORMOUS and absolutely delicious burgers that put all others to shame. This place is amazing. You might have to wait in line or for a place to sit, but trust me it's worth it. I don't think anyone leaves here unsatisfied. read more

Growing up in Donna, getting Berta's burgers was a treat. I remember walking home from school and smelling those amazing burgers! Even now that I've lived out of the valley for 31 years, coming for a visit, a stop at Berta's was a must. Got my husband to try it and he loved it! Now that I live in the RGV I can get a Berta burger anytime (as long as their open). This really just beats any other burger chain!! read more

One of the best burger joints in the valley! Burgers are HUGE,juicy,very flavorful,and did I mention HUGE! Be sure to get there early or be prepared to wait... read more

This is an amazing burger. Best, and biggest, I've ever had. Guy Fieri from Diner, Drive-ins, and Dives needs to visit here. I concur with all the five star reviews. It's definitely worth finding it, and you need a GPS to find it. I'm from Tucson and ate here 15 years ago. It's still the same - same cook, same grill, same high quality beef. read more

We took a group of five people there for lunch on December 28. We arrived shortly after noon and luckily we found a table to accommodate us. As always, the hamburgers were huge, delicious and enjoyed by all. They have raised the price of their hamburgers over the years, but one is usually enough for two people to share which more than makes up for the cost. All of us said we would return again! read more

Oh Heck naw!!! The burgers were horrible and way overpriced. If you have been here you ain't missing nothing. Yeah they are big, but what's the point if they taste "No Bueno" read more

This place was pretty good. Although it was VERY greasy. Probably not a good idea to eat here every day unless your searching for a reason to go to the ER. read more

The best burger that I've ever had, hands down. And I've had many great burgers in my life. Probably the biggest as well. Just go there. Your aste beds will tell ge story better than I can. A trip to the Rio Grande Valley is incomplete without A stop at this fine establishment. read more

So good big juicy burgers. All they are missing is the burritos they used to carry hope they bring them back one day. If you never had there burritos you missed out sorry. read more

Great place to get a fresh jumbo beef hamburger. One burger is really enough for two people, but you got to try and eat it all!! Huge pile of onion rings. You may have to wait in line 20 minutes, but we'll worth it!! read more

This is our second trip here, we love it, should have got 1 hamburger, it was huge, enough for 2.Would recommend to anyone who wants a good hamburger, this is the place to go! Cash only! read more

These burgers are the undisputed champions of South Texas where they specialize on the Best! This burger joint is a hidden treasure in Donna, Texas and it is well worth the trip, Believe me! Even as a type of guy that I am, where I am large and in charge, this burger is a tough beast to conquer, but don't be intimidated because you can choose the size of your liking as well. Berta's burgers are the best around and it won't bust your wallet when enjoying a delicious hearty helping. And when I think of a lady making burgers I think of a lady named Berta, just a perfect name for the perfect burger. She was born for this people! The only strange phenomenon for me that kept my predacious eyes away for my burger was the fact that Winter Texas swarm the burger joint as if it was local bingo club with an early bird special.
