This morning was my first time trying P. Terry's Burger Stand in San Marcos, and it did not disappoint. The egg burger was delicious! I asked an employee for a recommendation, and she suggested the spicy bacon and egg sandwich. I couldn't decide between sausage or bacon, so I went with her recommendation. I'm not sure if she made my order, but the woman in the red sweatshirt was incredibly kind, and my food was ready very quickly. She handed me exactly what I ordered and even surprised me with a free sausage and egg burger to try. The dining area was very clean, and the service was outstanding. I definitely recommend trying P. Terry's and will absolutely be coming back!!! read more

P. Terry's Burger Stand - Burger Stand - Burgers Near Me - San Marcos, Texas

P Terry's is rather solid fast food restaurant. It was not bad and it wasn't the best. For a fast food restaurant you can definitely tell the difference in the quality of their ingredients. The veggies were fresh. The fries were not as greasy as many fast food restaurants. The service was very quick and the servers were friendly. If I were to change something to make it better it would be the level of cleanliness. Making sure the tables, floors and the ice machine areas are clean is very important. P Terry's does have a lot of potential. read more

Burger fell off tbh idk... Used to be Hotter / Greasier / More loving. Now it's quite sterile. Bring back old fry cook

I took advantage of being within walking distance to this place during my visit to San Marcos for the 2025 Texas Master Naturalist Annual Meeting. I had always wanted to try the one in San Antonio, but never had. The drive through was actually swamped, but the dining room was empty. I walked up to the counter, ordered my food, and took it to my table within about five minutes. This is definitly fast food. My cheeseburger was reminiscent of a Burger Chef cheeseburger from back in the day. I liked it and the low "under 4 dollars" price. However, my last bite had a high concentration of whatever seasoning they used, which I did not find appealing. The fries were tasty. They were rather thin for my tastes. Also, they were too long, making it hard to dip them in ketchup without double dipping. I also splurged and had a vanilla shake. There was nothing special about it. It was the typical poured from a machine kind you get at any fast food restaurant. That's a good thing. Those are my favorite ones. If I am ever reliant on fast food, I would definitly choose P. Terry's for the price. All in all, it is just what it claims to be- fastfood hamburgers. read more

P. Terry's Burger Stand - Cheeseburger, fries, and vanilla milkshake - Burgers Near Me - San Marcos, Texas

today we drove through PTerrys in San Marcos and I made a few mistakes such as forgetting to ask for Swiss cheese instead of American cheese and forgetting to leave off the sauce from our hamburger. And I also forgot to ask them to cut it in half but they still did all these things and had the order exactly the way we had ended up ordering it. I know the guy must've been frustrated with but he never showed it at all got the excellent food that we always get from P Terrys. I was just so impressed with the people who worked there, especially this time that we went because of my mistakes read more

We have driven past this chain of restaurants for years but have never tried them until now. We stopped at this location on a recent road trip and we are glad we did. The burgers were great. The hand cut fries were tasty. The Reese's peanut butter cup shake was a perfect treat. The staff were friendly and efficient. The prices were very reasonable. We were hoping to eat outside at a table because we had our dog with us, but they didn't have any outside tables. We will try this place again in the future. read more

My first time to one of these establishments. The unique exterior and that shade of teal never fails to attract attention. Took 15 minutes to get my order, 2 sandwiches and fries. I would accept this if the food were really fresh, but my fries were barely lukewarm and my burger was ice cold. Also the tea was stale and had no date/time for swap out. The order taker seemed like we were doing him a favor by giving our order. And despite telling him it was our first time, the service was just as lackluster. One a personal preference, I'm not a fan of shoestring, over cooked fries, but I can't fault them for my taste. It was a decent burger and price is pretty good, but that's what kept it at 2 stars instead of 1. read more

P terrys is known for quality control, helpful employees, and good food but tonight that was not it. I ordered a root beer shake but was given a vanilla shake and when I alerted them they said it was right because they made it. Second off the food was cold the fries were stale and oily and the burger cold. read more

They will give your Uber eats order away, then gaslight you, when you call and say hey, no one's picked up my order. Then they'll refuse to cancel the order for several hours and just let multiple Uber eats drivers lose money, instead of just take responsibility. read more

Normally a 5 star restaurant but this morning I waited 15 minutes for a fairly small and simple order and didn't even receive a full cup of orange juice. read more

Wow did not know this place was open late! Awesome food awesome price awesome hours. Woke up from a long nap and found this place open

Their fries are decent. The burgers are more than edible. Their shakes are delicious, and their cookies can be addicting. Their shakes of the month always draw me in, but the last few months have been subpar shakes of the month. Sad. I still have high hopes for their future shakes and will always be on the lookout for new stuff they bring to the table. read more

Fries? SO DRY COULD NOT CHEW. Tell old from sitting around too long. Asked for half sweet and half UNSWEETENED, got it wrong asked at window make it right and was STILL FULLY sweet. AVOID NEW CHICKEN SPECIAL. It's ground up processed non sense. Does not hold a candle to Chick Fil A. Get orders right first time, fix it no problem. Cannot do it on 2nd try it's a real issue! read more

All bun, lettuce, and tomato...where's the beef? A palm size burger for $10. Their combos are more on the snack size than meal size. read more

Great food good customer service wait time wasn't that long ether I want to go back and try the breakfast

excellent service from Megan. Thank you for your kindness and help with my order today. You made my day . :)

Yummy. Like a home cooked burger. Fries a good too. Better than other brands that have a ton of hype. New to area and love it.

The morning staff are terrible! They told me to wait at the intercom and I've been here for 10 minutes? I'm the only person in line and it's 10:20AM. I finally spoke up and they said sorry for the wait and they were ready for my order.... I get to the window and the lady is on the phone laughing and talking with someone. She then didn't speak to me at the window, just reached for my card and didn't respond to my "Hey, how's it going?" or "thank you." She didn't even come to the window until my food was ready and didn't say a single word to me. Her phone case was black and blue and the receipt says Alma. PS: AND SHE GOT MY ORDER WRONG (food was still delicious tho but I gotta go with the 1 star) read more

Very affordable lunch for a family 6! Great burgers, fresh fries and yummy shakes. Love the option for a lettuce wrap instead of a bun. Burgers are great size, would definitely recommend to others! read more

If you are looking for a quick burger stand, P Terry's is the place to get fresh and cooked to order burger at a very affordable price.

I ordered a chicken sandwich with fries and a drink through the drive thru. Unfortunately, my order was wrong and they remade it fresh and gave me free cookies! The chicken sandwich was decent but I think others will really enjoy it. It tasted like it was brined with pickle juice and I'm not the biggest fan, but I know I good sandwich when I see one! The fries were good also. I will try their burgers next! read more

A staple of Texas, I have no complaints. This is a clean, well dressed, hamburger stand. The service is top-notch and the menu is simple. My 3 star is not about quality. I just thought the flavor of P Terrys was ok. I would eat there again but it didn't really have a personality of its own. I think the greatest thing about this P Terry's is the inviting atmosphere of the location. read more

Service was outstanding. never been here before but glad i stopped. burgers were made to order and fries were perfect. at first, no one greeted us as i looked at how busy they were. a gentleman took off his gloves and took our order. 2 burgers 2 fries and upgraded our drinks. the lemonade as absolutely great. fresh squeezed. our order took a while and they acknowledged it by giving me a free refill of lemonade. just love this place. definitely returning read more

Fresh made delicious burgers and crispy fried made when you order them await at P. Terry's. We always get the cheeseburger combo with fries and a drink, and they have never messed up our customizations. And the fries are always crisp, made from fresh-cut potatoes. Why go to In-N-Out when you can get a similar but better burger here and leave your money on Texas with a Texas business? 5 Burger Happiness stars read more

Clean establishment, friendly staff, and great food. We come here several times a month. But we've never any bad experiences with P Terry's.

It was ok and affordable. But, I have to compare it to Dicks in Seattle, Wa and Dicks was better.

Well by my car my favorite location physically! It's so clean and spacious compared to the Austin locations, I get my burger lettuce wrapped and some would love it... but I had to pull off 3 slices of lettuce and still have 2 wrapped! But more for your money, I guess lol! I had a great time with a friend here, space was where we had private conversations and genuinely enjoyed each other's company, would definitely go back here with group, by myself, or with one friend! So clean and spacious! read more

This was our first visit at P. Terry's and it was pretty good for a fast food restaurant. I got the hamburger and hubby got the the PT Melt. Both were pretty good. Hubby got the strawberry shake and he loved it. Said it was really thick and full of flavor. The fries are fresh cut and they taste good as well. We will be back. read more

worst service ever nasty attitudes from everyone working there. got two orders wrong and tried to get us to buy something else so they didn't have to void it...lazy? gave us cold fries and looked at us like we were crazy for wanting hot food. forgot my shake and again looked at me crazy as if i'm the one doing my job wrong. very disappointed worst location i've ever been to. it's a simple job and honestly wouldn't be so upset if the employees had a better attitude. read more

Sunday 3:00 PM Restaurant inside is filthy. Food, trash and tables all covered in gunk. No one in the dinning area so I'm not sure when it was trashed. We had to ask for the table to be cleaned. The trash cans were full and the drink fountain was nasty. No catchup in the dispenser. I'm not sure who at corporate needs to visit this place??? We brought family in from Phoenix bragging about P Terrys and for this??? How embarrassing... read more

Everything is good. Service fine. Food is the best. Cleanliness of floors needs improvement

This P. Terry's is a great place to rest up and refuel your stomach when taking a road trip down to South Texas. The location is well managed and the inside tables and chairs are consistently clean! The burgers here are reasonably priced and the portions are filling! I ordered the cheeseburger and my mom ordered the spicy crispy chicken burger. We also split an order of fries. My cheeseburger was a bit lukewarm, but the beef patty was seasoned well and very juicy. I tried a bite of the spicy crispy chicken burger and the spicy sauce that P. Terry's uses provide a nice kick of spice. It paired well with the swiss cheese and the chicken breast was well breaded and crispy. My main complaint with P. Terry's would be the fries. I prefer my fries to be crispy and seasoned, but the fries here did not have any seasoning and were not crispy at all. I think these fries would pair well with one of their milkshakes, so I'll give them another shot. Overall, P. Terry's is a great value for a quick meal and as a fellow Texan, it's always a good idea to try out and support local Texas businesses! read more

This was my first time at a P. Terry's -- saw the ad on a highway sign near the exit and decided to try it. The location was very convenient, service was fast and friendly, menu was simple yet descriptive (so no one had to ask what comes on the burgers), prices were reasonable, and the food was ready within minutes. The restaurant interior was clean and looked well attended-to. Everyone in my family enjoyed it as a road trip lunch and we'll definitely try P. Terry's in the future. read more

HORRIBLE service!!!! I have gone to several Austin locations but this one is the first time I am displeased. I was on the outside lane and watched 6 cars get there food to the left of me. 25 min 10/23/19. Bad experience again. Last chance from me. read more

Pandemic review: SAFE! CLEAN! Employees wore masks and gloves. The dining area appeared closed and everyone seemed to be using the drive-thru. The employee was kind enough to sanitize my credit card before returning it to me. Will be happy to return to grab family meals to go. This was my first time visiting this location. I bought my Mom a cheeseburger meal. She absolutely loved it! read more

I'd not been a fan of P. Terry's in the past, stopping only out of convenience at a location near my old residence. My dine-in experience at the San Marcos location has totally changed my mind! The quality of food and service is consistently high. Staff are friendly and greet everyone quickly. We enjoy the crispy chicken sandwich -- I add grilled onions. Today's lunch surpassed in service, as I observed Isaah, a team member constantly circled the dining room. Wiping down tables, sweeping, wiping drink area. I've never seen a "fast food" dining area to this level of cleanliness that I can would describe as immaculate. Kudos to P. Terry's San Marcos for their hardworking and dedicated team!! read more

$4 Double cheesburger, not filling, not much special sauce on well done patties. Not a terribly long wait with no line. Great customer service in drive thru Worth the four bucks... but not the great burger I was hoping for read more

I ordered the fried chicken spicy sandwich, with a dr. Pepper. The drink tasted like dirt water and the chicken looked like a deformed chicken nugget. What really got me was the pickles, I understand they have thick pickles; but imagine cutting a pickle into 4ths and placing all of it on a sandwich. If this was an understatement I wouldn't be leaving a review. The only reason I didn't give it 1 star is because I usually love p terrys. I just don't recommend this location . read more

I wish I could give 3.5 stars. I can't imagine giving any fast food place 4 or 5 stars because.. well.. it's fast food. So P. Terry's deserves my full 3.5 star vote - just that Yelp does doesn't let me do that. Much like In-n-Out in terms of friendliness and options but I will say, having tried both now, I prefer P. Terry as the more "home cooked" look and taste I was hoping for. Simple and delicious and made fresh. What's not to like? read more

I want to think maybe I just got food at the wrong time (8pm/9pm) but the burger was disgusting and very greasy for it being just cheese and meat with mustard. I had got it from doordash so I can't really say too much about the store itself. The banana bread is awesome tho. It's very affordable and I'll try again during lunch time and hopefully its made better. read more
