    Poppers burger
    Michelle B.

    I had the popper smash burger and my friend had the burger of the month - Hatch chili burger. DELICIOUS! Best burgers and onion rings were yummy good! Every time I drive by going to Abilene this place is always packed, and now I see why!! Orders came out fast and freshly cooked! Inside is clean, chairs filled up quickly. Amazed how fast all those orders came out! If you're ever in the neighborhood, stop in and get you a good smash burger!

    Cheeseburger and fries
    Alyssa H.

    This place is amazing!!! Family owned just keeping it simple and when it comes to burgers sometimes less is more. We went today and I got the cheeseburger which was actually quite big, husband got the egg burger which he loved. We got one combo and had plenty of fries for both of us. Reasonably priced and high quality. We loved it!

    This is actually the meat patties. Ugh!

    Started out good but it has gone downhill. The burger bun is now smaller and the meat patty is paper thin.

    Turtleman Burger. Has bacon and grilled onions along with other condiments.

    By far the best burger I've had in Abilene. Since I know how to make a decent smash burger. I don't usually order burgers outside, but this place will definitely be an exception. You can clearly tell the meat is fresh, the french fries are likely made by cutting potatoes, fresh in the store. Service is fast and efficient and the place is actually nice to sit down and eat. There's nothing lacking in this place. I would highly recommend going here. Another advantage, there are no waiters, and they don't ask for tips to check out, you can give only if you want to. Definitely a welcome business model in a horrible tipping culture.

    How food comes out.

    I got their signature burger. Turtleman Burger. It was very good, and its pretty much like a smash burger. No Waitress/Waiter, don't have to tip unless you want to. Onion rings slightly salted on outside. Refrigerated drinks on the side. Chill atmosphere. Prices are for just the food. It's an additional $3 for fries and fountain drink. An extra $1 or $1.50 for rings instead of fries. If you're in the area I recommend trying it out.

We had the Old Fashioned and the B1 Bacon Burger and both were cooked to perfection. The fries were excellent, too.

The seat was dry. There was plenty of toilet paper. The latch on the stall worked perfectly. At that point, I realized I had found a five-star bathroom. So I sat there a little longer to enjoy the peace and quiet and because apparently this was the only place in town where nobody needed anything from me. While contemplating life, I noticed writing on the stall wall, it said, "If you want the job done right, call Martha." I thought, Well, Martha sounds confident. So I thought I'd give her a call. Turns out it wasn't Martha. It was Bob's Construction. So I gave this place 4 stars. They need to occasionally confirm the numbers on the wall.

I've seen more than a few places of this sort, most notably the Fuddrucker's chain in Houston. A predominantly burger menu with other options, sides, milkshakes, desserts, etc. where you order your meal at a counter, fill up your drink at a station, and sit at big wooden tables, and run your little buzzer back to pick up your food. They have a great vibe that really seems to fit the area, and it looked like there was a playground area where families could bring their kids for a good time. Prices are a bit higher than I'd like-- it cost me almost $18 for a burger, a side, and a drink-- but it was still worth a visit. The only reason that I didn't give them the full five stars is that the service was a bit slow. I was waiting surprisingly long for a burger considering how fast some other orders came out, and it took a while to track someone down to get a to go box for my leftover side.
