In the Mount Rushmore of Bell County Burgers, Wes's may not get the attention it deserves, but that…read moreis about to change. Wes's has been my grandpa's favorite burger spot for over 20 years, and for good reason. The service and atmosphere are exactly what you want to see out of a burger spot that knows they have top 3 burgers, and has nothing to hide. The onion rings are a must grab and have all of the attributes from crisp batter to an easy pull apart when you bite in. If you haven't been before, now is your sign to run to Wes's.

Definitely a good, greasy burger (see pic). However the bacon was underdone & apparently comes that…read moreway. You have to tell them you want it crispy. The Goodnight Burger is simply a 3 patty burger = 1# of beef. The pickles (& I ordered extra) are very slim & the lettuce isn't plentiful. The meat is the star here, nice to have hearty & fresh ground pressed patties without worrying about thin frozen discs. Buns are decent to hold it all. Wes Teeters, the owner that created the name sake restaurant, has retired & sold it to new owners around Christmas 2025. Tater tots were perfect. Waitresses are very nice & helpful & they fixed my bacon situation but I had to ask. If you try Wes's Sauce, it's like a spicy taco or steak sauce, so go lightly at first. Their healthy option is a populated iceburg lettuce salad bar. I was just too full to take them up on the appreciated invitation for pie dessert. Discounted price for cash payment. They do Temple right with their offerings but I wouldn't say it's a decadent place. It's a hometown cafe catering to the locals & that's all right, it's a decent place. Ample seating room with some old style booths. but the plastic chairs feel cheap. Another long-time Temple gem, Old Jody's, is right across the street & still competitive for business. So you have the choice of 2 similar places within 25 yards of each other. Oh, & Grape Kool-aid for the win!

Cool staff and unbelievable deals …read more Great vibe and it's nice because there are a lot of regulars that are friendly , although you can simply mind your own business and just enjoy your food and drink and watch the games. The ladies are professional and on point with their job, they hustle and are aware. Also easy to talk to and keep a conversation which is a rarity sometimes. Enjoy this place , and a movie theater next door to catch a flick after a drink.

Outside tables and lawn for the families to enjoy and let the kids run around. Burger was delicious, I changed out the goat cheese for Gouda. Really good! The fries were well seasoned and crispy.

I was extremely disappointed with the service! I went to the website to contact them directly…read morerather than posting a public review and the email address listed was returned as "jacob@birdcreekbrewing.com Recipient not found." So, I guess I have no other option than to publicly post my email message: "Hello Jacob, We are first time customers at this restaurant. Let me start on a positive note: - Shroom Burger and Garlic Fries were delicious! Now, for my disatisfactions: - We were at a 7PM graduation and needed a late dinner afterward. We chose your restaurant because you were open an hour later than others. No where on your website did I see any indication of kitchen closing a full hour before closing. Upon arrival we were told "kitchen closes in 10 minutes". - We quickly placed our orders and the marinara was the texture of water - INEDIBLE! I asked the server if they might have thicker sauce and her response was "probably not, kitchen's closed". An acceptable response would have been to double check and NOT serve substandard sauce to begin with! - I was drinking water. Forty minutes before closing the server took the three-quarter's full container and dumped it on the plants. I was planning to get more water! How about asking if anyone would like more before dumping. Basically we felt unimportant and not at all like valued customers. I am extremely unhappy with the service and plan never to return, despite the delicious food. Sincerely, DT

Stopped for lunch after shopping first time here. Very nice set up they have an outside eating area…read morealong with a play scape for the Children. My wife had the #1,Little Hat with Bacon and loved it. I had the #2, Bug hat combo. No seasoning on the fries which they did and they were nice and hot.

I was looking forward to trying Hat Creek, but it fell flat. Both figuratively and literally, as…read morethe burgers were so flat. That was the first thing my friend and I remarked when we got our burgers. It was like they compressed the burgers. We both got the Little Hat, which is the only hamburger option with a single beef patty. It tasted like an average burger. I also got a cookies & cream milkshake, which was okay as well. Not enough cookie pieces as I would have liked. The milkshake and burger came out to $12 total, which seemed steep for the quality and amount of food. I did like how they have three different sauces that are unique to their restaurant. The wait was longer than we anticipated as there was no line to order, but it took a while for our food to be ready. This seems like a great place for families as there were so many kids on the outdoor playground. I love the wooden log aesthetic.

Even our toddler's chicken nuggets were phenomenal. Everything was fresh, hot, and delicious. The ranch was definitely homemade and went perfectly with their onion rings. If you've ever been to a traditional diner then you can imagine sitting at Bill's Grill. They immediately brought us a high chair for our little man and they were so sweet to him. One of the other waitresses even brought him over a little toy flashlight, which he was over the moon for. Irene took wonderful care of us. She was sweet, kind, and quick. She made sure we had everything we needed and even brought us to go drinks. We will absolutely be back. Oh, and even the bathrooms were nice and clean!
