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.

With similar hops flavor to Snake Farm IPA. Could be an IPA in some breweries as the overlap allows. Snake Farm West Coast IPA. A good brew that is easy drinking. Tibetian Popstar-Fruity Blonde. This is a hmm. Lot of creativity going on. Not the star of the trip for my tastes. Amber Dextrous-Amber Ale. WTH. Like a red with hints of molasses! Nice surprise of flavors. Interesting! Flat Penny Porter. Very good Porter. Could be a stout. More robust flavor and texture than the avg Porter. Solid brew. They can brew and a 4+ on beers.

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

Came here for dinner Friday night and had a great time. My 2-year-old loved the playground and he…read morewas able to play on all of it confidently without me following him around every second to make sure he doesn't walk off a ledge. Burgers were good, not great. My husband really enjoyed his bacon royale. I got the Cowboy and it was good but didn't have much barbeque sauce which resulted in it being kind of dry. I'll try the regular burger next time with condiments of my choosing. Fries were good. Chicken nuggets were EXCELLENT. They do serve beer and wine. We had wildly different pours on the wine. The lack of consistency was disappointing. Service was quick and friendly. Plenty of seating outside where you can see the playground.

We had the bacon cheeseburger with crispy fries, Catfish with hush puppies and Fries, Catfish was moist and flavorful. A must try! Chili cheese fries, and a side salad. The Chili Cheese Fries were rated among my top favorites! Everything tasted homemade and the portions were generous. Service was friendly and made us feel right at home.

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.

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.
