Today, ate at Chicken Oil Company. They were amazing growing up! Wow how they went downhill! Koppe Bridge is what Chicken Oil use to be. You place your order, they make your burger and it goes from the grill to the bun. Nice and greasy like it should be. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Chicken Oil has become so packed you can't move.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The burgers have become an assembly line. They cook 10-20 and toss them in a pan where they sit until it's moved down the line. Dry & cold. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Koppe Bridge has a wonderful atmosphere. Old school country music playing. Creaky wooden floors.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The one thing I CAN give the edge to Chicken Oil is the friendly and helpful staff! Because honestly..I've eaten at Koppe numerous times and literally every single time, the girls in the front are essentially snotty Sorority-type girls. Always different girls but always the same type. (Rude, eye rolls, zero friendly customer service). Maybe they need to hire staff based on personality and not how cute they are. read more

This is an icon amongst the students of Texas A&M. This is the favoriate amongst many of the college crowd because it is a great place, great food, and get a value for your money. I've had their burgers so many times that it should be rated on Texas Monthly. They are great. This time I changed it up and went with the chicken friend steak sandwich basket. The parking seems small, but just circle around. Whatever side you come on, go to the "back" and you'll find room. When you come in go straight to the cash registers and place your order/state your name. Grab your drinks and find a seat. Pay attention because when the guy screams your name into the cheap-axst speaker system, you might loose it. Consider it an audiology exam. If you come in with a parent that was on Peanuts, they will understand the PA perfectly. Everyone else takes their chances. With the basket you get a PILE of bar fries. They are great and there's a mountain of them. This alone should lure you in. I went with the chicket fried steak sandwich. Very tasty, but for some reason I thought it would come with gravy. Nope. If that changes your impression of a chicken fried steak, you may want to pass. I just covered it in ketchup and enjoyed the change up. Pro-Tip: Don't even try to come here on game days. read more

Koppe Bridge Bar & Grill - Yep, this is the spot. - New American Near Me - College Station, Texas

This restaurant is pretty unique! There's an almost rustic and chill vibe inside. The staff was okay -- nothing too notable. One of the better places in CSTAT to get a burger!! Ambiance: The environment was clean, and there are a lot of different seating options, from high-top stools to regular tables and chairs, plus plenty of outdoor seating. Dimmer lighting and soft music playing. Burger: The burger was massive, juicy, and packed with flavor. You can tell the meat was good quality, cooked perfectly, and well-seasoned. Fries: The fries were incredible -- super crispy on the outside yet soft inside. They came out hot and well-seasoned. They paired really well with the burger and were definitely one of the highlights of the meal. Shrimp Basket: The shrimp were huge and cooked perfectly with a nice, crunchy batter that wasn't too greasy. The hush puppies that came with it were a little spicy, a jalapeño kick. Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. read more

I'm not an Aggie, but I was in College Station and my Aggie neighbor recommended I go there. My son got the Philly cheesesteak, I got the burger, we split the chips and queso. The nice girl taking orders suggested the burger said it was hands-down the best. I'd give this burger four stars out of five. It reminded me of an old-time burger. My son was not impressed with the Philly cheesesteak. Chips salsa and queso were underwhelming. It was a cool old hole in the wall place. But I wouldn't go out of my way to eat there. read more

I was in town for a basketball game and we were looking for a pre game lunch. Yelp led me to Koppe Bridge and it turned out to be a huge favor! Use GPS to find this place because it practically has no exterior signage. It's in a one story wooden building with a front door with no windows. Just look for the parked cars in front and on the side. When I walked in the door, I immediately realized that this was a good restaurant. Many people were inside enjoying their meals with about 10 people waiting in line to order at the counter. It only took about 5 minutes before it was my turn to order. I chose the Koppe Bridge Burger Basket for $12. This included a 1/2 lb. beef patty dressed on a bun with cheese and hand cut fries. For $1 less I could have got the same thing except for a 1/3 lb. patty. With a fountain drink and tax my bill was $15 and change. Oh, by the way they serve beer here too. My order was ready in about 10 minutes. Simply put the food was perfect. Those hand cut fries were lightly salted, hot and absolutely delicious. I don't understand why more burger type restaurants can't make their french fries like this. The burger was as good as any burger that I have ever eaten. The big bread bun was soft, satisfying and held everything together. The juicy and flavorful 1/2 lb. beef patty made me glad I ordered the large version of it and with the fresh tasting lettuce, tomato, etc. made the burger memorable. When eating this meal I immediately thought this was a strong 4 meal but as I continued I thought no this was a 5 star meal. Like I said perfect and also a bargain. Nowadays a burger of this size and quality and those amazing fries should cost more. Koppe Bridge may not look like much from the outside but inside it is burger heaven. You can tell this is a place that locals love. I now know why. Come eat here! read more

I didn't hate Koppe but it could have been better. I got a Philly cheesesteak - nothing special about it although it was kind of greasy. Worst of all, the fries weren't good which I think is the bare minimum for a burger place! I'd go to Burger Mojo for a much cheaper, much more delicious option. The atmosphere of the place was fine: there was plenty of space and I actually liked the wooden vibe, however, I didn't like that people had carved things into the table (the tables reminded me a lot like those in the Dixie Chicken). Maybe I just am not a fan of the bar vibes. Lastly, it was pretty far away from campus (15-20 min drive) which is a huge negative in my books. I don't want anyone to assume I hate Koppe: for example, I didn't get food poisoning, the waiters weren't rude, the food was edible, etc. I just didn't like it and wouldn't return unless someone else wanted to go. read more

What's not to love about awesome frozen margs and big ol' burgers!? We actually came once and they were out of burgers, but my chicken sandwich was really good. Usually though, I've gotten a simple cheeseburger and fries. They come in a basket as any dive-y college bar fare should. Friendly workers and patrons as well, always in a good mood here. read more

Koppe Bridge Bar & Grill - Burger & marg - New American Near Me - College Station, Texas

TLDR: No frills, above average burger in a causal rustic country building with classic country playing! Came here after talking with someone about the hole in the wall local places around CS. I love the rustic wood theme. They had classic country playing. Overall a simple order, sit and wait, go get food when your name is called burger joint. The burger was good. I can't really say it was award winning worthy. But it was good. The buns were soft, buttery, and possibly lightly fried. They grill the onions - if asked. I will say it is rare to see it offered as a upcharge where I come from. It's more of an expectation for anything claiming to be award winning. Ha. The other veggies seemed fresh. The tomatoes were certainly above a stage for most burger joints. The fries were small enough to be throughly cooked. They still had their skins. Which is another plus. I would have preferred they be a tad crispier. But at the same time, I didn't request them to be crispy. To get back on my onions kick. Ha. A tip for them is to cut their onion slices shorter so you aren't ripping them out with every bite. read more

Burgers are just good. Plain and simple. We also had the Philly Cheese steak sandwich. Very tasty.

Food was great! Honestly, patty melt was better than the burger. Service was a tad slow, but it was busy and on the weekend so I will give them that. The ambiance is a classic Texan feel, however, they have Pepsi products which (for me) is a con! Would come back if in College Station. read more

If you looking for a good hamburger? Here is the place you can get it. Family friendly and very clean place.

One of our favs for like 30 years. Tuesday 10/14 was an unusually poor performance. Fries were cold and hard as a rock so either leftovers from Sunday or ? Not edible and it was 5 out of 7 from our table and at least the 4-top next to us. Cmon Koppe, yall are better than cold leftovers We'll be back but let's not see that again plz read more

Was in College Station recently and was wanting to hit a spot that was local approved. Asked around and a few folks recommended Koppe. It's a few miles from campus and A&M stadium and is situated in a historic building that used to be a small Shiner Brewery. It's no frills- Cheap beer, burgers, and a ton of character. We started with the fried pickles and they were absolutely awesome, tasted fresh and not of some frozen variety. Followed that up with a third pound cheeseburger with fries, some dipping sauce and it was solid. It was big and the hand cut fries were awesome. The place has amazing tables with carved initials and messages on them. You can smell the history in here. Staff was friendly to a fault too and very welcoming. It's an awesome spot if you're wanting something more casual in the area that's not a chain with some personality. Loved it. read more

Always going here when I'm in Bryan College Station. The burgers are always the best in town.

Fries were outstanding. Burger not so much. The veggies were fresh and the burger was made exactly as I asked but the patty was over cooked. It could possibly been reheated. read more

Ok, I really want to love this place. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Decor is college town rustic.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place is clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Staff is friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall great ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] BUT. The hamburgers were horrible!? French fries were great. Hard to balance that. Biggest issue with the burger patty is it was dry and tasteless and way too done. Almost like it was precooked and then re-heated quickly. I have been in a couple of times and just not impressed with the food. read more

Told that this was the best burger joint in town. Had to give it a try. Ordered the 1/2 lb burger with cheese. Veggies were crisp, burger needed more seasoning. Fries were on point. Service was good, counter clerk gave us pointers since it was our first visit. Wait was usual time as everything is cooked when ordered. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance was as expected as it is a bar and grill.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will be back for sure. Only bummer for me was no signage outside, wasn't sure if we were at the right place. read more

Solid burger. Pleasantly surprised with this little hole in the wall burger joint. The burger actually had flavor; and the bun was toasted--after being coated in butter probably. Terribly delicious. The fries looked terrible, and I figured I wouldn't eat more than one or two, but again, I was pleasantly surprised. Much tastier than they look. read more

Do NOT GO HERE if you are a large party! We went on Sunday and someone had taken all the outside tables for a bday party and inside the tables are all bolted down 4 tops! We were a party of 5 so we took the bar area but it was not a great spot for conversation and *right* next to the trash can. The food is great, but they really need to have a better set up for larger groups. Expect a long line. We arrived about 15 min after open, and there was already a line about 20 people long. Moved relatively quickly, probably 10 min or so. read more

Lots of food in a rustic atmosphere. Burgers are great as are the fries. Can be very crowded during events such as game day weekends.

Great place to get a burger! There were signs proclaiming awards for best burgers and they sure didn't disappoint. Really delicious with toasted buns...so good! Very generous helpings of homemade fries. They have a big patio our back with additional seating. You order at the counter and they bring out your food and you serve your own drinks at the fountain. Very well priced place to grab lunch or dinner. The only suggestion I have would be to add some dessert to the menu or at the very least a root beer float or some pie and ice cream. That would have been great after them meal. read more

We came here a lot before the COVID-19 pandemic because they had the best burgers in town, no doubt. Their fries are also really good and have a nice crispiness to them. However, something changed after 2020 with their burgers, and I guess I get it, money got tight. The burgers may have been frozen or I don't know what. We stopped coming. But then we gave it another shot after over 2 years of nothing, and I am glad to report they have returned to the fresh burger patties from before! This is awful for my wallet but so good for my belly. I ordered the 1/2 pound burger with cheese and fries and it was the heavenly beef I once knew. My wife got the same and couldn't finish hers. My kids got the grilled cheese with fries, which drives me crazy because I could make that at home in less then 2 minutes and for WAY cheaper. But kids will be kids. We all got drinks (no beer) as well and it came out to around $55. The girls at the front weren't particularly friendly but the cooks in the back are always extremely helpful and polite. Any dumb questions I throw their way and they always answer promptly with a smile. Like, "Where is the ketchup?" To which I found out they have about 15 FULL containers right there near the cash registers. Whoops! This place also has pool tables in the back but we've never played here. We always sit outside when the weather is nice like it was last weekend. They have plenty of tables out there and the kids can run around and get some energy out. They have a speaker outside so you can still hear your order. This place is great and we will be back --- just waiting on my paycheck! read more

So overpriced for what you get! This place was nearby my home and I've had people recommend it to me so I finally decided to go. I ordered a simple burger, tots, and soft drink, $18! I thought to myself, this better be good. It was just okay. The burger was big, but just a small portion of tots. Another thing I wasn't too happy about is, if you pay with a debit/credit card, your receipt asks if you want to leave a tip, not a signature, just a tip. Understand that you stand in line to give your order, you fill your own drink, and when your food is ready, they call your name and you get up to get your food from a window yourself. So what's the tip for, taking my order and swiping my card? I know of other places like this that do the same thing, but you can get a meal there for half the price you can get it here. I'll just stick with Whataburger, thanks! read more

Really great hole in the wall in College Station. Was at a sporting event at A&M and everyone was going to chains like Bryn and Hopdoddy, both of which are great, but this place was a great local hub, about 2 miles from campus. Old wooden building and really nice staff. Megan took care of us and she was great. I had the burger, medium rare with jalapeños and fries. My wife had the "small" chicken friend steak but of course, size is relative as It was huge. Burger was solid, fries good and CFS was excellent, nice breading and great gravy. Had a couple of beers and watched Michigan be Nebraska. Thumbs up for a local place with great folks! read more
