    Fixings Bar
    Kurt V.

    I came here several years ago long before I was on Yelp. Are used to work in this area so this place was very convenient. It has not changed much except I'm pretty sure it's different ownership now. The burgers are still pretty delicious and the hand cut fries accent them very well. What makes this place kind of unique is that they have a fixings bar where are you? Add your own dressings and veggies to your burger. You can pretty much fix it exactly how you like it. Another unique thing about this place into me probably one of the neatest thing is it's old country charm. It's like stepping back in time.

    Wagyu burger and cheese tots
    Kevin R.

    Wish this place was closer to me. Stopped in since I was in the area and I'm hooked. 1/2lb Wagyu burger for only $11 is insane. Cheese tots came with ranch. And the condiment bar is a nice touch so you can customize your burger as you like. Friendly staff and cool vibes/decorations.

    This turkey club sandwich has become one of my most frequently ordered items on doordash. So good, just such a classic simple club sandwich and done so well. And so filling!

    You can tell JG's has a lot of history! They make hamburgers the old fashioned way and they are tasty! They even still have a salad bar to put your own toppings on your burger. I am glad that I live close by and can stop in more often! I would recommend if you are looking for a quick cheap place for a burger!

    Cheeseburgers!
    Colin S.

    Loved the ambiance of this place! It felt like its name, old fashioned. Counter service was convenient and the big menu above the counter was clear and easy to read. I think about these things now because my vision is starting to fail me and sometimes I literally cannot see the print on the menu board. I ordered a cheeseburger basket with fries and also onion rings on and a cherry fried pie. The burger was a solid classic no frills burger cooked to order and it was perfect. The fries are skin on and hand cut, with perfect crunch and soft interior. Your toppings are self service and lets you customize your burger however you want. I would have liked some jalapenos but they aren't available in the toppings bar. Great place and fun experience!

    Veggie Burger (10/10 delicious!) and tater tots :)
    Sage M.

    The girl with the curly hair at the counter was so kind and professional. Pulled out the ingredient list for the veggie burger for me. Explained the process for us! The ambience was nice, no blaring music or loud TVs. Good came out hot and very quick! The order was right. The tater tots were perfectly crispy and the veggie burger was the BEST one I've EVER had anywhere. It had a crisp outer edge and SO much flavor with an excellent flavor! The cheddar cheese on top was the icing on top and the Mayo at the bar was perfect on top of the crisp burger bun. This was an overall perfect experience with an amazing meal!! I can't wait to come back. I found my new burger place!

    Double Cheeseburger
    Karson M.

    I was very excited to try this place. My husband considers himself a hamburger expert. We often try new burger places and JG's was on our list. Today we tried it and sadly it wasn't as good as expected. The burger patties were very small compared to the buns. They also had a taste that I can't pinpoint. Almost like plastic? It was very expensive. $11 for a double cheeseburger. $16 for a meal. The worker taking our order wasn't friendly either. This place had a great atmosphere and I wanted it to be good so badly. Overall, It's up to you if you'd like to try this place but we won't be returning.

    ****** OMG - DON'T GO ****** I'm a huge foodie and cook - my only mission it to guide you to awesome food - and keep you away from the worst! This place has horrible food on any level. The meat is obviously preformed and frozen when it arrives. The shape, texture, inability to cook anything but well done... and absolutely NO FLAVOR in the meat tells me McDonald's has better flavored meat. (Not a compliment!) I've been 3 times over the years, each time... "ugh, why did I come back!" Well, this time I learned my lesson. I had sweats and horrible diarrhea from 3:30am until 7am... and yes I took meds at 3:30!!! No sleep during those hours - pissed me off to be exhausted at work!!! I felt like I was eating 'air'. The only flavor I could perceive was lettuce, ketchup, bacon, cheese and bread! Absolutely no beef flavor anywhere!!!! No grease because it was frozen and cooked well done. No salt/pepper or anything to say "I'm tasty" - REALLY?!?!!!!!! As though this wasn't enough, I cut my burger in 1/2 as usual to get a photo. Although the bun was cut in 1/2... the meat was a different story. (See photos) One half had almost NO MEAT... it was literally 2 bites and what remained was bread and toppings. The meat is 30% smaller than the bun!! What a joke for $15! I don't judge, but the clientele I saw has no concept of dining etiquette. People stood 4 inches from my table!!!! I felt like asking them if they were trying to sit with me! Disgusting and ruining my meal. Where do people learn such unacceptable behavior!! On the streets?!?!?!!! So, now on to the fries. Yes, they seem to be hand cut (through a slicer) with skins remaining, but they are generally soft and limply. If that's what you like - great. Personally, I expected very crispy fries that crunch when you eat them. (No way of getting that here.) And the worst part was the Coke fountain. The syrup was obvdialed back to increase profits. (It was not low syrup with high carbonation, it was less syrup!!!) It was horrible and I poured it out and went with' 'city water' from the tap. Ugh! So about 1/2 way through my burger I started to feel odd. A sour stomach of sorts. By the time I got to the end of the burger... I knew I was in for a bad GI episode and did not finish my meal. I left as fast as I could! You should do the same... or better yet - trust me and eat at McDonald's instead!!!! At least you will sleep through the night and avoid major GI issues!! Eat there are your own risk!!!

    This is the milkshakes on their website. Mine was the worst strawberry milkshakes ever, I didn't even finish it :(

    Worst $6 "Strawberry" Milkshake Ever It was pulled from a below-counter cooler, and tasted more like freezer burn than vanilla, much less Strawberry.

    Passing thru Dallas Texas and stopped to eat at this place and this was the best homemade hamburger I have tasted in a long time. The buns were put on the grill also and fries were very crispy

    Chip's Old Fashioned Hamburgers is an old school hamburger joint that is a landmark in Dallas. You…read morecan get an poppy seed bun burger and shake with a large side of Dallas history. The neighborhood may continue to change around it, but Chip's remains the same. My Overall Rating - 4 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - Chip's has an old school, nostalgic feel. The restaurant has an iconic sloping roof with a yellow outdoor exterior and a big green sign with its logo. Inside, there are plenty of booths, a bar, and even outdoor seating. Chip's has grown and expanded over the years but to me that adds to the nostalgic charm. 1 Star. Service - Chip's may have invented counter service. Upon entering, you look at the menu posted on the wall and place your order. You'll get a number (or they'll ask for your name), and you grab a table, and when your food is ready it comes out. Fast, efficient, and the staff was super friendly. 1 Star. Food - Chip's is known for its poppy seed hamburger buns. While it's pretty and tasty, the most important part, the patty, is pretty average. Honestly, there are many other great burger joints in Dallas. On the other hand, the fried onion strings are a must order for your side. While I wasn't a fan of the burger, the fried onion strings saved my meal. The Oreo and Fresh Banana shakes were also a nice cold, creamy, sweet ending to my meal. 1 Star. Will I Return? - Yes. I hope Chip's never changes. The restaurant has an iconic look, it's part of Dallas history, and the staff is great. 1 Star.

    Honestly a pretty good solid hamburger. This place was refreshing on our trip to Dallas because it…read morewas "normal". No pretentiousness or snooty vibes. Just straight up classic counter service and I was happy for it. The reason I take off one star is because I ordered the turkey burger, but when the chef brought it out he said "here's your chicken burger". So I'm not actually sure what I ate, but I'm also okay with that. It's kinda like a pick your path you know? Anyway I'd definitely go back. Super tasty and the bun was great. The fries were great. The fried pickles were great. Just vibes and love.

We ordered the fried mushrooms to start, and they were so hot that one of us severely burned her lower gums on them. Seriously! A prescription from the dentist was sought; mea culpa but damn. Once they were less volcanic, they were good. We split a burger with fried onions, and it was dry. The meat was overbooked, the bun was over toasted, and the whole thing needed plenty of beer to go down smoothly. The fries are fine, and we did appreciate that they had some steamed broccoli on the menu. Our daughter was happy with her kids cheeseburger meal, and she did like the chocolate-caramel malt shake she scored at the end. A main reason that we're landing on three stars is the ice cream situation. One of us ordered a soft serve vanilla, and nobody told her that the machine was down, so what she got instead was a cup of half melted Blue Bell soup...are you kidding! Thanks for the prompt refund, but letting your customer know what the situation is in advance goes a long way. So, we tried it. Add a notch to the Dallas belt. We wish them well, but we won't be returning. There are better burgers in DFW.

It does have an old vibe to it with the people go to you to order the food. There are many cars outside and was worried that it would take awhile. The servers come to you and you order through their tablet. I had to take a minute, but you have to make sure you have your blinkers on and they will come to you. I ordered the following #5 Special with bacon #1 The best burger and then the cheese fries I got the order within 10 minutes and did not take too long. Once they deliver the food to you, I paid through credit card and then you can tip them so I gave them an 18% tip as they were nice and serve the food to me. The food is very messy and oily so make sure you bring some hand sanitizer. They packed in a lot of napkins as well. The burger itself was just alright, was a little cold for me though so not so sure how long it was waiting. The lettuce and tomato was a little on the soggy side. The meat itself was just alright. When I ate it, I did not experience the wow factor. I can not complain about the price however. Overall, I rather go to Inn-n-out, but I am glad I got one of the places to try in Dallas out of the way.
