When I first moved back to Corpus (now almost a decade ago), I recall bookmarking this place. At the 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. read more

Snapka's Drive Inn - Very good! - Burgers Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

The food was great. The service was excellent. The ambience is like 1950s drive-through drive-in. I rate the experience excellent

Food : Great, always made to order Ice : Nugget Flashing your headlights at the server to come take your order under the carport: Priceless The nostalgia is hard to beat at this place. Plus the kids meals come in a paper box classic car ! Get the steak fingers. or the taco salad. or the Dixie burger. get everything. read more

Burgers are awesome, the price is right . The employees are very friendly. Kudos to the employees and their staff

Driven past this place for 25+ years when my territory has coved CC and it's always got a steady crowd. It's a shack a true Drive (#DDD) with years and years of true South Texas character. Charming hole in the wall something your grandparents or great grandparents would say that's where they would gather back in the day. Great service everything made fresh to order. Burger was ok. Sorry, maybe I ordered wrong. I only had cheese and mustard because I was driving to another appointment (didn't want to make a mess with veggies) just was dry. However, I am a sucker for homemade onion rings. Breaded not beer batter dipped is the only way to go. These were lightly batters in a crispy crust with just a pinch of salt. No special seasoning (seasoning salt ) they let the sweet onion do its thing. Gotta be the top 1 or 2 I've ever had. A must stop if you are ever close by!!! #DDD #texasbucketlist #texascountryreporter #TM #stx #CCTX #STX #onionrings #drugstoreburger read more

Snapka's Drive Inn - fried shrimp and fries - Burgers Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

I had a plain burger (shared with my pup), shrimp basket, and onion rings. Burger was surprisingly yummy, nothing super special but satisfying. Shrimp was great, perfectly fried. Fries were solid. Onions rings were unique with a very light breading. read more

Disappointed that we had to eat in the car today . Other than that we received ok food and courteous service . Probably not worth another visit. read more

Amazing food and friendly staff, came here because the restaurant we wanted was closed and was not disappointed at all! Very patient with my kiddos ordering and very helpful overall, definitely recommend. read more

First timer today. Ordered a to go double cheeseburger onion rings and two tacos. Omg everything was so tasty and wonderful! Burger had great seasoning to it. Just so, so good. I live out of town, but will definitely be back! read more

Had a craving for a homemade burger and this place did not disappoint. We dined in and liked the retro chrome and red vinyl chairs, and old fashioned convertible motif. Staff were knowledgeable on the menu and very kind. It took about fifteen minutes to receive our full order as it is all made to order with fresh beef and not under a heat lamp. Everything is fresh and hot off the grill. Husband and I had double meat double cheese and bacon burgers as well as a side of onion rings. Burger was fresh and flavorful, juicy and fresh lettuce and tomatoes and toppings. The onion rings are flavorful, crunchy and keep their crunch throughout eating them and not greasy. Also tried an old fashioned strawberry malt as I never had a malt before. They have Bluebell ice cream which was hand scooped, malt powder added for that old fashioned flavor and made in an old fashioned metal milk shake blender. Excellent prices, better than any fast food chain out there. Definitely we will be back. Come try this mom and pop drive in for an old fashioned malt shoppe experience. You will not be disappointed. read more

To start owner was bragging about the fried chicken so decided to stop by and try 12:02 pm . When car hop finally came out was told no fried chicken because it was frozen and had to thaw out. Alternative plan Dixie burgers... read more

I spent 50 bucks on 4 burgers and a hand full of fries. I could count on my hand how many fries came in the 4 baskets, and the burger was dry. Very unpleased and wont ever go back. Save your money. read more

Snapka's Drive Inn - What it looks like. - Burgers Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

Tried calling multiple times to place an order and nobody answered. Decided, in an extended effort to give them business, I'd show up before closing to place an order in person and instead they say they're closed. According to their hours they definitely were not closed. She just said ,"I don't know, just saying what my manager told me." Very cavalier, raising her hands with a don't really care gesture, the entire interaction was extremely rude. Mind you this was not to just us, but to multiple customers waiting. Clearly a bunch of folks who just didn't want to work and would rather leave early. Horrible service. Don't waste your time!!! Frankly, I've never had such appalling service. read more

OMG!! We ordered 2 dixie burgers & sm onion rings totalled $17. Came back to our hotel, unwrapped our food. 1 burger bun was burnt, both burgers were dry, onion rings were smashed, pale, soggy, no flavor and cold. Snapka's is only a 10min drive to our hotel! I remember Snapka's food being soooo good! What happened? Will never go back. read more

Excellent mom n pop type place, non franchised, LOCAL! Craving a good burger in Corpus but not Whataburger... I do love Whataburger, by the way! This place satisfied the craving. Ordered a double cheeseburger for the hubs and single cheeseburger for me. Yes, chili cheesefries, too. Highly recommend!!!!! read more

Burgers Burgers Burgers!!! Wow what a great flavor their grill and cooks are magical . One of my all time favorite places for a nice juicy burger. Try the Chili , it goes great on anything( it has no beans). Tacos are good and a little juice but hits the spot. More to try and I will get all over it. Support Local Businesses! read more

This place used to be fast and efficient. Not the case anymore. Waiting 25 min for a hamburger is unacceptable. Figure it out or people will not come back. read more

This place is the cutest coziest burger joint I have ever been too. The waitress are exactly what you expect. Funny, cute, carrying their own conversation but incorporating anyone who could hear it. Ha! The menu is clear cut. I'll attach it below. I got the regular Dixie burger. 8/10 With the chili cheese fries 10/10 Onion rings were amazing crispy & not covered in grease! 9/10 Chili cheese dog was good if you're a hot dog person. I am not, but from my dads stand point, he devoured it. We will be coming back next time we come down!! read more

good food but super pricey.this is the only place in town that charges for cheese when you order the tacos.should it not come with cheese already it is a taco read more

Amazing drive in spot in Corpus! We stopped here on the way home from the beach based solely on Yelp reviews and we were not disappointed! The burger, onion rings, and milkshakes were all delicious. In the famous words of Arnold Schwarzenegger "I'll be back"! read more

Love these burgers!! If you are looking for tasty burgers made your way stop looking!!

I came in for a milkshake and somehow ended up getting a Dixie cheeseburger. I love old fashioned burgers like these. Not too greasy like Hamlin Pharmacy but just as good. Small dining area and drive thru available. read more

Snapka's Drive Inn - Strawberry milkshake! - Burgers Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

Blue collar diner and damned good at it. I have been several times with the guys from work. It's the kind of place where the ladies working know what their regulars want, and what they'll likely order to drink. Of the menu items I've sampled; everything has been great. Catfish special last time. Rather than frozen strips it was a giant slab we'll prepared and served perfectly. It's a can't miss. Definitely worth a stop! read more

Snapka's Drive Inn - Catfish special. $8.25 with a drink. - Burgers Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

Service was definitely a 5. Friendly waitress came out as soon as we parked. Food was hot and there was plenty of it. A large order of onion rings was more than enough for 2 people. The chocolate malt got 2 thumbs up. The only reason for a 4 instead of a 5 is personal preference on the burger. It's a mom and pop version of fast food. Worth the visit if you want want a quick meal. read more

Burger was really good, but the chili cheese fries were watery and lacked flavor. The young girl working also had a bad attitude. She was vaping inside the restaurant and when we waved her down she rolled her eyes before putting her mask on to come out. The burger would've been worth returning next time I'm in Corpus but the service and chili ruined that for me. Wont return. read more

Snapka's Drive Inn - Half eaten chili cheese fries. Peep all the grease - Burgers Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

My family and I went to eat here last Sunday. This place is very small; however, very good. We had everything from chili cheese fries, shrimp, fish, burgers, chili dog, to just a bowl of chili... All fantastic. Also you can order half and half onion rings and french fries.. read more

I love this place! One of the first I visit whenever I go home! Anything from Mexican food to burgers, all of the food makes me feel warm inside. I always get the burger and fries but my brother swears by the frito pie. Don't be skkared.Plus, who has drive-ins these days besides Sonic? A nice nostalgic throwback to the good old days. Don't miss the crinkle fries. I could eat a thousand of them. read more

Reasonably priced fast food and very nice waitstaff. I ordered steak fingers with fries & onion rings and enjoyed it - a bit on the salty for me and I ordered cream gravy and got brown gravy instead (which I discovered when I got home). Filling, a tad greasy, but definitely A-Ok for diner food -- willing to try it again because of friendly staff and good prices. Was not fond of the coleslaw or fries -- but okay for a first try. I did try to go through the drive-thru yesterday (Saturday noon) for a quick malt drink, but vehicle in front of me was stationary there at the window -- presumably waiting for order -- over 10 minutes. I finally gave up and drove off. read more

Excellent home cooked style food. Crispy,not greasy, onion rings. Fresh ingredients on Hamburger. Chili dog was great!!! Give it a try. The friendly staff was the topping to a great meal. read more

My wife and I spent a few days in Rockport, but there was one place in Corpus Christi that we had to eat at again. That was Snapka's Drive Inn on Weber. This is not some "burger joint" it is a "burger happening"! My wife had a small burger and onion rings. I had the big burger with fries. We took our treats back to our condominium in Rockport. We experienced paradise in burger-land while overlooking the bay! Snapka's serves great burger, and the sides are scrumptious! They cook everything just right. The young lady (do they still say carhop?) who brought out our order was great! She brought everything quick, hot, and scrumptious. She gave my wife and me (senior citizens) a wonderful smile and had a pleasing deposition about her job. Thanks, young lady for your wonderful service and smile! We'll be back at Snapka's this summer. We are looking forward to great service and great eats! SORRY...NO PICTURES...WE ATE THEM ALL! read more

Everytime I go back to this location it just keeps going down the crapper. I was the only one in the drive thru and it took 25 minutes to make and serve one frikken' order. And then there was a problem with the order. To make good on that cost me another 12 minutes. The steak sandwhich was small and not that great. ... nothing like I expected. I've had better experiences. I would not call this place a Fast food joint. because speed is not their specialty. And that would be OK if the food came out really really good. Perhaps the hamburgers are OK but dont order anything off the beat and path. read more

Solid for a burger joint. Took the kids Sat for shakes and burgers. The menu is classic car hop. We ate inside which is small. I think that if you want hop service you have to leave your lights in. Check out the photos. Food was tasty. read more
