    5oz Bacon Cheeseburger & Garlic Parm Fries
    Abby C.

    So convenient when bar hopping. Open late and has great burgers. Staff was great! Will be back when visiting :)

    The service and food were excellent! There wasn't a long wait despite being crowded. My food was brought to my table hot and fresh. The burgers were delicious and HUGE with good amounts of toppings. Honestly the fries were a bit too salty and fried too well done but still edible. The natural root beer was a hit with all of us. It's a bit pricey but well worth it. I'll definitely be going back soon.

    We decided to try Jax Burgers because our noses were drawn to the smell of their burgers, as we were walking through downtown San Marcos, my daughter was touring TXST. Jax Burgers did NOT disappoint! The burgers were so juicy and the patties were large. The fries were hot and delicious! The only thing I would change is their drink choices. Portions were very generous and prices are very reasonable for their food. We'll definitely be enjoying lunch/dinner when visiting my daughter.

    Not much of a restaurant.

    Because of all the great reviews, We decided to give this place to try while in San Marcos. This place is located in a very busy, dingy area of downtown. It took us 20 minutes to park! When we found the place, I was in shock! It's a lack-luster, run-down diner! No children's menu for the 4-year old. Classic burger for her, grown up burger for me, 3-pc. chicken tenders for the 12-year-old an order of fries (didn't know the entrees came with fries) and a strawberry shake. $44, thank you very much! Worst food EVER! The burgers were flatter than baloney, dried out, crumbled when you but into them, so much mustard you could gag, greasy beyond 20 napkins! Although I enjoyed the fries, the 4-year-old DID NOT APPRECIATE ALL THE PEPPER. The staff kindly replace hers, unseasoned. The shake was great! EVERYTHING ELSE WENT INTO THE TRASH! NEVER GOING BACK!

    Spending some time in San Marcos, asked our huge family, there are ten of us, where to get a burger. So they recommended Jax. I normally try to avoid downtown San Marcos, but I'm glad we went. The place is on the square, small place, but really great atmosphere. I love places like this, in downtown squares. Service was great, very helpful and gave us recommendations on what to eat. Maria got the bacon burger, all the way. I could smell the bacon, and these guys don't mess around. Using thick bacon. Lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and onions. I had the Baja burger, jalapeños, bacon, lettuce, tomato, pickles, and onions. Let me tell you about the onions, they were chopped, not sliced. I usually like my onions grilled, but not today. As I was eating my burger, all I could think about, was that the onions were not to strong, and made the burger for me and my wife. I love that they had three different kinds of flavors for fries. We had the Cajun fries. We will try the Parmesan cheese fries next time, YES, We will be going back. Also sweet potato fries. All in all, this may be the best burger in town.

    We've wanted to try Jax Burgers for a month or so and today was the day. Staff are friendly and they were very patient as we looked over the menu options. Yes, yes to the bacon cheeseburger, onion rings and chocolate shake! The onion rings were crispy and not greasy. The bacon was perfectly crispy and the cheese melted just right. We will be back!

I got chili (certainly not much!!), cheese (melted nacho) and bacon (nice and crispy and in small pieces, so I could eat without impersonating a dog with a chew toy) and that made my combo $13.98 before tip. Happy: There was no line when I ordered, and it was served up efficiently and cheerfully. The biggest selling point (certainly consider this if you are a northerner visiting Tx in the summer) is the large drink with free refills for the entire day--there's another stand somewhere else in the mall which was news to me. Also, I think I saw they have a hand washing station as I left. Sad: There are no tables, chairs, or benches. You will be prompted for a tip if you pay with a card. This after paying a LOT for a non-gourmet but not untasty all-beef dog. Also, half my free grilled onions were approaching burnt. For comparison, I could have gotten as much cheese and substantially more chili on a polish sausage in a pretzel bun at Weinerschnitzel for under $5 after tax. For $14 I could feed two there. I got three vegan sliders at Buzzmill this Monday for that much money, including table service. What you are paying for is convenience, time, and saving your spot in a large mall with limited parking and impressive traffic on holidays (Franky's only sets up shop when higher mall traffic is predicted). Perhaps you want to avoid a public meltdown with your partner or child. You get to decide if it's worth it. Love to the upbeat hot dog dude. I tipped bc I doubt much of the markup makes its way into *his* pocket, and it's not table service but outside the onions he did his job well.

Both my daughter and I were super hungry and thirsty. She told me on the way in, she wanted In and Out so I told her we will share a hot dog and get us a big ass drink of lemonade. The combo was a little over $10 bucks with unlimited refills on the lemonade. I didn't think that was a bad deal at all. My half of the jumbo beef hots dogs had onions and my daughter side had chili cheese. We inhaled in and it hit the spot for us to continue shopping. Not bad for an afternoon snack!

I especially regretted my purchase after receiving a rapidly melting shake. The manager had to be called and was unapologetic nor caring what would make the situation right for me. I simply wanted a refund because I was over it. After I asked if I could get a refund she said "you ordered the shake hon" which yea I agree, that's what My point is? As though the liquid slushy between us was a proper shake? There is a base standard of consistency to be considered a shake hon. She continues "I could make you something else, you want a concrete?" I didn't feel like arguing but it was eye rolling that I was being forced to try a new possible disaster. I had little hope considering if they had the shake wrong then what was a concrete going to be? Turns out it's the other side of shake standard. I was given a huge straw for the slop and a spoon for that. Now I'm wondering what the difference is between concrete and a cup of custard. If someone asks for a refund because your equipment isn't functioning optimally and or advertising is inaccurate ,then be more willing to issue a refund or at least give the customer the option.

Chunk Deuce BBQ is a Veteran-owned food truck, and it was super cool getting to learn more about Adam (the owner) and how this is a true family affair. Reminded my of my days of helping my parents at our family businesses while growing up. Not only will you be able to snag some damn good bbq, but you can even snag a sno-cone to fulfill the inner child in ya. Back to the grilled cheese though-- the crispy, buttery, Texan bread slices were met with the most gooiest amount of cheese. Stack some brisket into the sandwich and get ready for a delicious yet hearty meal. I recommend adding some bbq sauce on the side so you can have a dippable moment. If I'm ever back in the area, I will definitely be back for another one. Prices are super reasonable btw!
