Found this little local shop for lunch on Yelp and definitely wanted to give it a try while we were…read morevisiting Corpus Christi. It definitely did not disappoint. Pulling up into the parking lot, we got extremely lucky and saw a few people walking out; otherwise this little parking lot is completely full. The shop itself is also pretty small, basically a hallway down the entire unit, with a bar on the left and a row of small tables on the right. There is some outdoor seating available as well. We ordered lunch to-go, which was pretty quick and easy, as our order was already prepared when I arrived and I was able to use Apple Pay. I noticed their packaging was very nice. We ordered the Philly Cheese w/ pasta salad, the Teriyaki Salmon w/ mac 'n cheese, and also Ahi Tuna sandwich w/ the soup of the day, being broccoli and cheese. My Philly Cheese was tasty, but on the salty side. My bride absolutely loved her Ahi Tuna and the kiddos enjoyed their Teriyaki Salmon. Overall, the food was excellent (but it is pretty pricey). We definitely recommend this spot in you are in the area.

Once we found out where and how to get our food, my goodness, my pork BBQ sandwich is probably the best I've ever had. The pork itself was very tender and excellent when it came to thickness, which was the perfect amount; not too thick, not too thin. However the real star of the show was the bread. It was wanting to stick to the paper because it just couldn't wait for me to devour it. The softness and texture was next level. I have no idea what the hell kind of bread it is, but I need to know just about now. I would definitely come back if I lived here.

My parents used to take me to the original location back in the 80s, and it was always a great experience. Back then you stood in line, ordered at the counter, and had more of a self-service experience. I think I still prefer that style over the newer sit-down service, but that may just be nostalgia talking. My son and I stopped in on a late Saturday afternoon while we were out around town digging through vinyl shops. He immediately requested Wallbanger's. Our waitress, Fantasia, was great and pointed out they had a $5 half-order appetizer special during happy hour. We started with mozzarella sticks and chipotle BBQ boneless wings. The mozzarella sticks do seem a little different from what I remember at the original spot, but these were still fresh, hot, gooey, and really good. The marinara they serve with them is great. The boneless wings were solid too, and their chipotle BBQ sauce is one of my favorites. My son ordered the crispy chicken sandwich with that same chipotle BBQ sauce. The sandwich was huge and he ended up taking half of it home to finish later. I went with the Uncle Sam burger, which is a classic burger setup with bacon added. It was very good. Their sidewinder fries are always on point. One thing that deserves special attention here is the bun. They make their buns in house and they're excellent. Fresh, soft, and full of flavor. It's not just something holding the burger together. The bun is part of what makes the whole burger experience work. This place has been part of my family's routine for decades now. I hope it sticks around long enough for a fourth generation of my family to enjoy it.

Salty. Def hole in the wall vibe, we were able to park right out front and order and wait in the picknik table area. Salty. After a few minutes, they called out our name and we picked up our order of chicken, fries and roll. Salty. The chicken was well-cooked...seemingly to just the right about and the pieces were generous in size. Salty. Fries were also good and the rolls were store-bought quality. Salty. Chicken was moist (if not a bit greasy) and the coating/crust was just the right amount of crisp. Salty. They only sell bottled drinks (coke or diet coke on this particular day) and we had to ask for napkins...thankfully wifie had some ketchup packets in her purse. Salty. The serve sizes were worth the prices. Salty. Overall...it was salty. Too much. Blood pressure threatening too much. We've tried it and enjoyed it for the most part. But that was enough for us. We both have to watch our blood pressure. Salty.

Overall, the experience was still decent because everything was fresh and quick, but the flavor just wasn't there this visit.

When I first moved back to Corpus (now almost a decade ago), I recall bookmarking this place. At…read morethe time, I was still eating at a lot of "greasy spoon" restaurants, and this place looked like it would hit the spot. Shortly thereafter I started eating better and forgot about this place until just recently. Fast forward many years later, and I now have honed "healthy eating" at just about any restaurant, so I thought I would give Snapka's Drive Inn a shot. And I was not dissapointed! It's a very old school drive inn diner that serves a somewhat limited menu of comfort foods, from burgers, fries and onion rings, to some Tex-Mex as well. It's small, it's cozy, and the service is good. Although I only ordered burger patties with bacon (which was easy to do), I observed (and smelled) all of the other patrons food, which seemed excellent. It was very good food and a very good experience. I'll definitely be coming back here sometime soon.

Padre Island Burger Company gets a solid 3/5 from yours truly, and honestly mate, I'm being…read moregenerous because the atmosphere and seaside setting did a fair bit of heavy lifting. let me explain myself properly. This place screams modern tourist burger joint. The sort of establishment where every burger arrives with twelve unnecessary toppings, a quirky name, and a price tag that makes you briefly consider checking your credit score before ordering. Quite frankly the place should be renamed "Upcharge Central" or perhaps "Tourist Burgers Built for Photos, Not Stomachs" The outdoor seating itself is lovely though. Proper island atmosphere. Wooden picnic tables, sea breeze rolling through, cold drinks sweating in the Texas heat, tourists waddling about sunburnt and optimistic. It's the kind of setting where you want the burger to absolutely save your afternoon. Unfortunately... Mine did the complete opposite. I ordered their "world famous" Lulu Burger, their take on a jalapeño popper burger, and I genuinely believe it may have been one of the worst burgers I've had in the last couple years. Now look, I'm not against creativity. I enjoy innovation. But somewhere along the line society decided burgers needed to become science experiments. The moment that completely sent me over the edge? A massive slab of cold cream cheese slapped directly onto the burger. Not melted. Not slightly warm. Not blended into the burger. No mate. Refrigerator cold. The sort of cold where you could practically still see the HEB dairy aisle condensation on it. Completely threw off the texture and turned every bite into a confusing mess of hot beef meeting Arctic dairy product. Absolutely criminal behaviour. Now to be fair, my lovely date ordered the Hangover Burger which was noticeably better. Fried egg, bacon, cheesy goodness, all the things you'd expect after a rough Friday evening involving tequila and poor decisions. Still overpriced for what it was, but at least it tasted like somebody in the kitchen had a coherent vision. The sweet potato fries were actually quite decent as well. Crisp edges, soft middle, solid seasoning. No complaints there. Maybe I'm old school. Maybe I'm too particular. But when I think burger joint, my mental checklist is simple: Hot burger. Balanced toppings. Quality beef. Reasonable price. No culinary jump scares. And unfortunately this place missed the mark on several fronts. 3/5. Lovely atmosphere, decent service, and a fun island vibe, but the burgers themselves simply didn't justify the hype or the price tag.
