Ordered a double meat chili burger with fries and a drink. Total was less than $13. Food came out fast. Service was friendly. Bbq sauce on the burger was the predominant taste, but everything was good. Will definitely be back to try other items. read more

I can't possibly give this a 3 star considering the price. Charburger is a great value. Their red relish and smoke sauce is a great combo on the burger. Free beans, and they were nicely flavored. The fried okra was great, lightly battered and surprisingly crispy considering the light batter. Nice staff and below average interior, a combo I like. read more

Affordable burgers and great quality! Service was great and ambiance is what you'd expect for a nice East Texas family restaurant. Definitely will be back in the near future. read more

Love this place! Been coming here for years. The burgers are great and so is the catfish. They have quite a menu to choose from. Great service and very friendly. Highly recommend. read more

Old old school burger joint. Boss Lady and I came in for lunch. She ordered one of their burgers and I their steak sandwich. The staff was real friendly. The interior needs a major facelift. Her burger was just Okay, not the best. My sandwich was kinda funky. The "steak" looked like some kind of processed meat that had been frozen. It all tasted fine. The onion rings and fries were good too. I wouldn't come back, although there's not too many many choices in this small town. read more

Everything was fantastic! They have great service, great prices and great food! Today we went and they had two burgers two fries and two drinks for $12.99! Unheard of!! Frito pie was amazing had great tasting chili lots of cheese, onions and jalapeños... Onion rings were hand battered light and crispy .. Burgers were char grilled and tasted amazing! Fries were crinkle cut, fresh tea .. zero complaints! Sadly phone died before I could snap photos! I'll be back and will update my review with photos! read more

What an enjoyable place! This is a place that inflation forgot. One can get an affordable burger and if that's too expensive one can save more by getting a mini version. The mini seemed similar in size to the regular. The prices for a burger range from $3-$6. Hush puppies are only a dime each. Small fries were $1.29. You get free beans and crackers, too! They have a wide variety of fish options and hot dogs and corn dogs. The service was speedy and they bussed the tables. Head on over to Char-Burger and give it a try! read more

Great food service ambience. They have been in business for years. Great for families.

I like the fish it's nice and crispy and the sides are good as well. The prices aren't horrible either and it's in a good spot if you live around Kilgore. read more

Burgers are out of this world!! I would recommend this for anyone that loves food! ! Hospitable and friendly! Loved it!

LOVE this place and not much has changed in the 10 years It's been since I've eaten here. I grew up in Kilgore and we always ate there. #3 was, still is and always be my favorite burger. They have wonderful homemade chip burgers with a yummy smoke sauce. read more

I like to support local businesses so wanted to give it a try. First visit was great. To go order. Had catfish sandwich with seasoned fries and hush-puppies and it was excellent. Big piece of fish hung out both ends of the sandwich. Didn't care for theirs homemade tarter sause but the fish was cooked perfect. Fries and hushpuppies were great also. The next month was craving it again and this time....not so good. The fish was way overcooked to where the ends were hard and burnt and crunchy. Hushpuppies were over cooked also. Was very disappointed. I usually give restaurants 3 tries as they may of just had a bad day or a new cook so I'll give them one more try and reevaluate my review. read more

Popped in here because the sign said Best Burger in town- and this place was a total win! The gentleman at the front counter was very polite and explained all the different burger choices and sauces. The free pinto beans while you wait were delicious. I tried two different burgers, both were delicious, but the chili burger really stands out as one of the best I have ever had. The onion rings were hand bartered, crispy and crunchy. Place was clean. I can't wait to pass through Kilgore again in the future and I know exactly where I am going to stop to eat! Best part was that I got two burgers, onion rings, pinto beans and a soda for $10!!! read more

I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone living in this particular part of East Texas without a doubt. I went there on a regular basis 50 years ago when I was in college... I've visited there recently and nothing has changed. The same family still owns the place and their service and hospitality hasn't changed one bit and the food is still really good!!! read more

Ordered a regular hamburger mustard all the way extra pickles and onion rings. DELOCIOUS. Reasonably priced. As Schwarzenegger says "I'll be back." read more

If you're not ordering a #3 at the Char-burger, you're doing Kilgore wrong. Just kidding, I'm not from Kilgore, so I can't tell you how to do Kilgore right. That said, my family thinks the #3 is the best and most unique burger on the menu! Forget what to think a chili burger is, the #3 has a meat-only chili, cheese, a Wendy's-like patty, and smoke sauce -- which is like a sweet BBQ sauce. If eating in, make sure to get the hush puppies (fried jalapeno cornbread) and beans that's free to those who dine in. This place gets 5 stars for the great service, the #3 and mini #3, and the nostalgia factor that my family always has going here. My parents came here as kids when Miss Barbie ran the place in a different location. Always a must-eat when we come to Kilgore! read more

It was my bday weekend and I decided to spend it in my hometown. We were out and about shopping and decided we'd stop in for lunch boy am I glad we did. We were greeted immediately and placed our order. While waiting we helped ourselves to the complimentary beans and corn bread. Our food areives and it was just ss good as I remembered it being from my childhood. So very glad we stopped in what a way to celebrate. read more

Tried local place in town on business, was disappointed McDonald's burger would been better. Was only me and two other customers in the place. Ordered my burger and they brought it out I took a bite and Gus's what was missing..... yup the meat patty. The waitress told me that the cook forgot to put it on due to it being So busy. Looking forward to the movie I'm going to so I can have some popcorn to fill me up read more

I'm an out of towner working for a company with roots in Kilgore so I visited this restaurant mainly because of the bad review given by another customer; I was skeptical of the review. The first time I had the fish and chips and today the foot long chili dawg; had one there and brought two home with me for later. Great food, great staff, clean establishment, and right in the middle of old town. I love places like this with their "Yesterday" charm and I highly recommend it. The prices are great and the menu is on the wall, no squinting for old people like me. Sir Rodney of Baker Satyrday 06/12/2021 read more

pretty good food for what I have eaten there. I like the BBQ burger, seasoned fries and beans... Thats what I usually get... I have eaten a few other things, and they have all been good as well. The drive thru is very convenient and the staff is always friendly... Lets keep eating local, support our local small businesses read more

Great fish and sides. Great, friendly service. A forgotten gem In Kilgore for sure. They also have a drive-thru for pick up and never skimp on serving sizes! read more

Awesome! Now this is a tasty burger! Reasonably priced and the food was great. If trying to decide between fries or rings, go with the onion rings. read more

Everyone in Kilgore goes on and on about The Back Porch. Personally, I don't think The Back Porch is that great. I doubt I'd grade it higher than 3 stars. But I recently ate at Char-Burger off the recommendation of my nephews, and it was excellent. It's by far the best burger in Kilgore unless there's a third alternative of which I'm currently unaware. The service was friendly, the burger was fantastic and the menu included fried okra. Nice! I've never been to a burger joint where I could get my favorite fried vegetable as a side dish. It makes me feel a little less like a beached whale to eat some greens with my burger. If I'm being completely honest and critical, the decor wasn't the best, but from my perspective, that just made the overall feel that much better. When I go for a burger, I want the place to have that greasy spoon feel. It just gives the joint more credibility. But eating the burger showed that Char-Burger deserved that perceived cred. read more

This place has definitely suffered as a result of covid. The food used to be really good. Now it is borderline mediocre. Definitely don't waste your time or money. Choose somewhere else. read more

Great old place. Decor hasn't been updated in a while but their food is on point. Classic home style burgers and fish that never disappoints. You get what you pay for here and the service is great too! read more

Typical mom and pop burger joint. They have specials every day, all you can save a little if they're to your liking. The burgers are small and thin so it takes two of them to fill me up. Fries are probably frozen, they are unremarkable in any way. The locals seem to love this place but I found it dingy and "sticky." I've eaten here twice but only once inside. Got the other order to go. Did I mention it seemed "sticky?" read more

ZERO STARS! Food was ice cold. Meat was pink on the inside. Paper thin meat patties with holes in them. 2 out of 4 people threw up after eating here! And NONE of us finished our food, we left the overwhelming majority of it on the tables because it was so gross. read more

I went to high school in Kilgore, graduated in '93. Every time I went to Char-burger -and let me tell you, it was a lot- I would order a Number 6 with bacon. It was sloppy heaven. I ordered this burger consistently. Couldn't get enough of it. Plus there was seasoned salt at your table to sprinkle on your fries, and free hushpuppies and pinto beans while you wait. But that BURGER, man. Anyway, after high school and one year at Harvard on the Highway I left Kilgore. But since my family still lives here I get to visit often, which means on occasion I can talk them into having supper here so I can have my favorite burger EVER. And in 22+ years, as far as I can tell nothing has changed. And that's just fine by me. read more

Not bad, not great. Much better than chain type fast food. I was here for lunch and had a burger and fries. My food was brought to me about 2 minutes after I ordered it so I assume it was already cooked. read more

Good burgers and sandwiches. Free beans and hushpuppies.

Best bang for the buck in town when it comes a burger. They have great weekly and daily deals if you check their facebook page.

Absolutely the best burgers in Kilgore. Takes a few extra minutes to get your order. The make every thing to order. Also have good fried catfish. read more

Was really excited to try. Haven't eaten there since i was a kid. So disappointed that my chicken strip dinner was big chicken nuggets. Not real chicken. My husband's hamburger patties were soft. Not sure if it was an off day but im going to try one more time.....maybe read more

When into this business an ordered a take away. On arriving home, we found that the meals we paid for was not what we had. 2 fish dinner was short fries, cold slaw and corn sticks. 3 fish dinner had fried okra. Living 15 miles from this business, just was not convenient to return this mess to the business. Was in Kilgore 2 days later, went by there to correct this issue and was told they DO NOT DO REFUNDS. Ask why, was told that is their policy. This policy is not on the receipt or signage in this business. BUYER BEWARE! If you order something to take away or carry out, you better look at what they are giving you before you accept the order. You payment transaction is a contract and this business clearly broke that contract and committed a criminal act of FRAUD! We won't be doing business with these people in the future and if you are one who expects to get what you paid for, you may not want to do business here either. We are filing a fraud complaint with the BBB and talking to the city attorney's office about defrauding the general public. BUYER BEWARE!!!!! The owner of this business must be making a lot of money here by selling you one thing and then shorting the meal. read more
