It's like overrated definitely that's the word I'm looking for overrated you go in the dining room looks like it's I don't know ragged I guess the employees are nice the coffee was old and yucky their breakfast tacos are right on the mark but I wasn't impressed with their hamburgers they got a really large menu but I don't think I'll be going back. I mean how hard is it to make a fresh pot of coffee I bought two cups of coffee one for me one for my husband come to find out that coffee must have been sitting there since 6:00 in the morning and it was already like 11:30 12:00 in the afternoon it was old and burnt and still like yucky coffee if you can do coffee right you can't get a cheeseburger right and your dining room looks shabby and run down and yeah whatever interest your own risk but for those outrageous prices I expected more. read more

The restaurant is pretty old but it's been here a long time. I feel like the booths need to be updated. However, that being said, the food is excellent. It's like an old diner style with burgers and fries. They also have an excellent grilled chicken salad and loaded baked potato you should try. I haven't had their breakfast but they are open at 6am. I like their shakes and ice cream too. They have a soft serve chocolate in a waffle cone and classic malts or shakes. read more

Good food, reasonable prices. Exterior may not look all that great but the food is worth a stop.

An update that is exactly the same as before. Great food, delicious "greasy spoon" type burger. It's perfect every time!

Food is decent but they need to get their S together. Service is extra slow. They didn't have one item I ordered. Didn't have the size of drink I wanted. No sauce came with the cheese sticks.. Order for two people was smashed in a single bag. read more

Storms Drive-In Restaurant - Smashed fried pie - Burgers Near Me - Burnet, Texas

See all

Our first time in after hearing lots of great things from locals. We chose to dine in (all of the drive-in spots were taken). The dining room was bright, clean, and uncrowded at 3:30pm. The food came out quickly and everything was very hot except the sweet potato fries. The curly fries were described as spicy in the menu but were lightly seasoned and not spicy at all. The best side dish were the onion rings- very hot, nicely battered, with large tasty rings. My son had the double burger (patties are very thin- recommend the triple for big appetites). I had a grilled chicken sandwich. Both were prepared exactly as special- ordered and were delicious. My son went back for a root beer float, a specialty of Storm's, and he enjoyed its generous portion of soft-serve ice cream. My only disappointment is the prices- the burgers and sandwiches are ala carte, so with sides and fountain drinks our bill for two was $30 before the tip and float with no leftovers. At these prices, it will be a special treat to return, but we do look forward to trying more of the menu options next time we are coming through Burnet. read more

One of the worst meals I've had in a long time. I got the chicken tender dinner. The chicken tasted like it was from a bag of very cheap frozen chicken tenders. The gravy was borderline flavorless. The fries probably would've been good if they hadn't been sitting under a heat lamp for the last hour or so. My wife got the loaded baked potato and the grilled chicken was inedible. read more

Solid performance from a cheeky hole-in-the-wall burger joint. Plenty of parking, and plenty of seating for a decent crowd. Old-school touches included vending machines (and I think I noticed video games). The malts and shakes are great, and they are so thick that it may take a while to get it through your straw. There is an 'extra thick' option, which we guessed was solid ice cream. Use a spoon if you order the extra thick. French fries were basic, not too greasy, but not quite as crisp as I like. Condiments are in the dining area. The hamburger almost pushed Storm's to 4 stars! Three patties on a regular burger?! Wow! I wondered why she asked 'how many slices?' when I ordered cheese! You can order 1-3 slices of cheese, to make this burger as crazy as you want! The flavor is good, and the toppings are fresh! Storm's is worth a stop, every time you are in Burnet! read more

Storms Drive-In Restaurant - Here is the regular 3-patty burger; excellent!! - Burgers Near Me - Burnet, Texas

This place is definitely better than a 3 star establishment. Is the service the greatest? No. Is the inside the greatest? No. Storms is phenomenal burger joint. I don't know what kind of grease they use, but the burgers are amazing! The shakes are great! You can't go wrong with any flavor. The fries are homemade, but a bit soggy and leaves you wanting more. Storms is a central Texas icon. It has a whole lot of history, and a great burger. read more

Be warned, not everyone working in this restaurant knows face masks are required in public! A few staff seem to put them some times, but they don't bother to wipe doors or commonly touched surfaces. Still have menus out that everyone is using. The food was good, the cherry drink is very tasty. I've written a yelp review before, felt compelled to do so today! Maybe they will get the hint to increase their own safety, much less their guests. read more

INFERIOR in every single way to the one in Lampasas. We came here yesterday after going to Longhorn Caverns because we had such a killer meal at their other location. We showed up around 4:30 pm and it was pouring outside so we decided to eat inside since we were the only people in the entire restaurant. Staff had NO masks on AT ALL but when the cashier saw us, she did grace us with putting one over her mouth (but was sure to keep it below her nose). The rest of the folks we could see in the back didn't even bother. The place itself is greasy and old and NOT in a charming way. We got our daughter the chicken nuggets kids meal and split a Storm's special, fried pickles, and curly fries between us. The food was SO BAD: we are seriously in shock that this is the same establishment where we had previously thought we had had one of the best burgers in Texas. The cheese was barely melted on the burger and the fries were uneven in terms of crispiness. Our kid's nuggets and tater tots were unimpressive and the "complimentary" gravy was a blob. The pickles and curly fries were decent. We were about to order dessert when another customer /employee(??) came in and proceeded to rant and rave about Biden/election/Pennsylvania/ballots at the top of his lungs on the phone on the other side of the restaurant. At that point, we quickly made our exit and ordered our pumpkin shake and chocolate cone from the car (both were gross and slushy). Yeah, so, we'll never be returning here again, and have greater appreciation for the spot in Lampasas which we will save our next visit for. read more

Local joint that gets the job done. Excellent service. The chicken sandwich was healthy and the cheese burger was good. It's a good place to stop when on the road and one needs a quick bite. Staff are nice and allow people to be Free. Patio and indoor seating, we prefer the patio under the trees. read more

Excellent real beef burger. Fries were also crispy and fresh. The inside of the restaurant does need some updates, but it has that small town burger place feel. I would recommend giving it a try. read more

Storms is like a better sonic. They may be slower but their food- like the pattymelt and mildly spicy fried pickles- are so good. Not to mention the shakes you can get extra thick! Love me some storms read more

This is our go to place for drinks. The new French fries (I think they started 8 months ago) are delicious! You may want to look at the burger patties., just a thought. With this said, I do recommend the Storms Special. Try anything and you will understand why they have been a favorite spot in Burnt for so long. read more

Storms is the best fast food restaurant in Texas. I was driving from ruidoso New Mexico to Austin Texas and the only thing that got me through the drive was knowing those curly fries were soon to hit my lips. I also got a FANTASTIC frosted Dr Pepper (the best non alcoholic drink know to humans). The mini burger after being in the car eight hours was a bold move for my stomach but as I had dreamed for delish storms for hours I couldn't not get that charbroiled heavenly burger. read more

Having grown up in Lampasas county I've eaten more Storm specials over the last decades than I can count. This was my first visit to the Burnet location. This location looks very much like the Hamilton location. I pulled into one of spaces and placed my order. It was a Storms Special and tasted like the countless before. However the fries were not to the standard I'm use to at Storms. Usually the fries served are hot and crispy on the outside and creamy in the inside, like they should be. What I received seemed to have to short a second fry. They weren't really hot, had no color or crisp. I wouldn't say they were soggy more gummy or rubbery since they had no crisp. The burger was great, but without the usual great fries, fell short. Though I'll be back the next time I'm in Lampasas. read more

Listen up. Rain or shine, Storms is the real deal. Is it the best burger you are going to eat? No. Are their fries the the best you can find in Burnet? Probably not. But... this is a CLASSIC drive in with a big, down-home menu and we love it here. PRO TIPS: 1) Get the catfish dinner. Best thing on the menu. You will like it. Just trust me. Sub the fries for fried okra and add a loaded baked potato. Forget the coleslaw. Opt for tartar sauce and red sauce. This catfish dinner is freaking delicious and you get a huge portion. 2) If you get the burger, ask for mayo/mustard on the side. Otherwise too soggy. 3) If you go with fries - ask for them "extra crispy" (unless you like floppy fries). Also, get yourself a side of ranch to dip them in. The service at Storms will be a little slow... but just relax. You're at a small town establishment with a ton of charm. Enjoy the classic Americana kitsch. read more

Hard to leave a review when I never got a burger, so I guess I'm reviewing the management as opposed to the food. I stopped in after a friend mentioned how much he likes the place. San Antonio on my way to Fort Worth and skipped every restaurant on the way just to eat a burger at Storm's. Have them my order, they read it back twice and then made an entirely different burger. After waiting over 20 min for my burger, and being in a bit of a hurry to get to my destination, I declined to have them remake my burger. They then proceeded to screw up my refund. So, bottom line, spent 30 min there, no food, and only part of my money refunded. Pretty much a train wreck. This review should have posted back in April, but did not for some reason so please adjust accordingly if any changes have been made since then at the location. read more

I wanted to like this place, because the Storm's in Lampasas was delicious. I cannot say the same for this location. They managed to shove and stack two burgers, large fries, cheese sticks and a lemon pie in one small bag. Needless to say, everything was smashed. Maybe I could have given them a pass had the food been warm.....not so much. I don't think we will be returning. read more

Bought catfish dinner, kids chicken strip meal w/drink(Sm big red) 2 large shakes and a large big red. $30.90. I checked my bag all was there. Got home no small big red, and the French fries taste like they've been under the warmer for awhile.....very hard and tough, chicken strips were pretty brown and crispy. Perhaps the oil is old. Big red and shakes were good though. read more

Great food, sour dough burger is the best! And the fries are fresh made and really good

Fries are mediocre a bit soggy but taste like real potatoes the Burgers actually pretty good has a lot of flavor. Ok servers and bathrooms are some what clean. read more

Never again! For a place known for great hamburger it's a dump. Obviously the owners Don't care anymore. read more

Horrible burger, thin, overcooked and just overall bad. I remember Storms being amazing. Great wait staff.

Great local burger joint. I recommend the 1/2 pounder burger as the regular burgers are on the smaller size. I would recommend that they cook the fries a little longer to give a better cooked/crisp taste. read more

We saw the line, and hoped it's good . Inside it was pretty good. Everything you would expect from Old style fast food burger place. But the food was not great. Thin and burned burger patties. Fries tastes like they never changed the oil. Will not come back there again. read more

We love the Storms in Marble Falls and since we had to meet someone in Burnet over the weekend, it seemed like a good place to stop for lunch. Ehh.. not so much. Issue 1: It was freezing cold inside. Absolutely freezing.. like don't take your coat off and sit there shivering anyway kind of freezing. I know it's February, but come on! If you offer seated inside service, you need to turn on some heat. Issue 2: I stuck to the floor. Seriously. It was super sticky and my shoes were crackling and snapping as I tried to peel them from the tiles with each step. Double yuck. Issue 3: Asked the employee at the counter if getting a bunless burger was an option and he said yes. So that's what we ordered. But.. that isn't what we got. We got two regular burgers, on a bun. When we brought it to his attention, he said he thought we were just planning to take the bun off at the table. Sure.. that's why we specifically made it a point to ask if we could get a burger without a bun.. because we were going to remove it ourselves! No. The rest of it: Service was fast. Once the problem was brought to their attention, they did remake the burgers without buns. The rest of the party had no trouble with their order.. so that was good. I was freezing and a bit grossed out due to the lack of cleanliness I noticed around me, so I didn't eat much of my food. All in All.. I'll avoid this Storm's on my way through Burnet. read more

So yummy. Pulled in Sunday morning because didn't want McDonald's. The girls that work her are so sweet And the food was yummy. read more

Very few fast food places I will order a hamburger..this is one of them. Local businesses will get my money before chains. Always great food! read more

Hot greasy burgers & fries. Can't complain! Only been here once. It was good! I usually go to the one in Lampasas. This one is about the same. I like the small town feel. Thanks Storms!! read more

Storm's is a central Texas institution. Be sure to stop in and have a great burger. Prices are good, food is good, service is quick. I had the Western Burger with bacon, cheddar, BBQ sauce. Curly fries are an excellent addition. An excellent alternative to all the fast food burger joints out there. read more

Storms Drive-In Restaurant - Western Burger. BBQ sauce is hiding under the patty. - Burgers Near Me - Burnet, Texas

First time stopping at this place though I've passed many times. Reasonable prices and amount of food for the money. I got the double, my son got the single with cheese. We also got onion rings and tots. Nice and crispy. Will definitely eat there again. read more

Pretty close to the storms in town and it's a pretty good fast food joint for all the times I've ate here I don't have a bad/negative thing to say the food isn't five star I mean it's a fast food place however they do always still somehow surprise me with their food and overall they're pretty quick to getting you what you need/ordered. 8.5-8.7/10 read more

We were passing through Burnet, and needed to stop quickly to get lunch before heading further into the Hill country. I'd driven past one of the other locations previously, but had never stopped. Ordered two burger combos, and two kid's meals through one of the driveup stalls. Thirty minutes later, food finally comes. One kids meal is completely wrong and the other three meals are in various forms in incorrectness. Swapped the one kids meal, taking another five minutes, and cut our losses. If you feel like playing Russian roulette with you lunch and waiting way too long, you may like it here. For the cost, hassle and wait, there are better options. read more

Update: The last two times I have been there it has been terrible. I went in early May and my fries were cold and soggy. I got it to go, so I didn't bother taking them back. The burger was delicious so I thought it was a fluke because I have never had a bad meal at Storm's. Well, I went back a few weeks later and got my usual, the mini Cordon Bleu burger and fries. The burger was on the low end of so-so. The fries were disgusting. They tasted like they had been cooked in oil used soley for fish. I got it to go, so the fries went into the trash once again. I am so disappointed because Storm's is one of my favorite places. I'm not sure if they have new management or what, but I felt I had to update my review after 2 bad experiences. November 2017: Try the mini Cordon Bleu burger- you won't be disappointed. It is beyond yummy. The French fries are delicious if they are fresh. Ours were crunchy and very good. The staff was super friendly and attentive. They have cleaned the inside of the restaurant and it no longer smells like grease. I have also had the catfish here and it was very good. They have ice cream and milk shakes too. read more

The quarter pounder with cheese was as good as I remembered from my last visit almost a year ago and the price can't be beat, at $5.29! Car service was especially welcome with Covid numbers rising in Burnet County and across Texas. read more

Totally underrated, we came in for the weekend and our host at our Airbnb recommended this place and it reminds me of your small town burger joint! We got the Storm burger, fried pickles, and a chocolate shake. AMAZING !! If you are in town please stop by, totally worth it! read more

I've been going to Storm's for many years. My husband and I meet at Storm's in Burnet. It was our first date. But it'll be a long time before I go back. First of all I ordered a mini cheeseburger. I with just meat and cheese, though I ate it( it was good) I looked at the menu again, thinking maybe they stopped putting lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and onions on a mini. I buzzed the drive-in, nope they put everything on it and was so sorry I didn't get it. Since I had eaten half of it and they didn't offer to make it right, I decided to let it go. When I got home I looked at the bill. Why didn't I question it? A mini burger-$2.99, a+12,( whatever that is, $.65, and okra, $2.25. That adds up to $5.89. Why was I charged $9.35. I thought it was high but dummy me didn't question it and I gave the cat hop a$ tip! Ok I admit it was stupid for me not to question, but really?? What a rip off I'll stick to Lampasas Storm's Drive-In when I'm traveling that way. read more

Driving through after spending the weekend a Pedernales State Park. The burgers were really good- especially the 3 patty 1/2 pounder. Yum. The place is definitely a dive burger joint. The inside is a little dark and old- but the drive-in aspect is great! We actually ate outside on their "patio." I'd give it 5 stars but it was a little pricey. Our kids loved their burgers & chicken fingers. read more
