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!

I was looking forward to trying their burgers here as I heard this was their main food. Unfortunately, the burger I had was far below my expectations. It did not compare to some of the fast food burgers I have had. I opted for the bulgogi burger because it sounded interesting, and I tend to like fusion burgers. I could not tell the burger had bulgogi flavor at all. There was just some kimchi on top, which probably made the burger more expensive than the others even though it was just a little kimchi. There was nothing else special about the taste of the burger, and it did not seem worth the $20+. The fries were extremely seasoned, and I was probably the most dehydrated I had ever been from eating fries, but they did taste good. We got a large soft pretzel to share, and it was really fragrant. It didn't have an overly salty taste like many pretzels do.

I was looking forward to trying Hat Creek, but it fell flat. Both figuratively and literally, as…read morethe burgers were so flat. That was the first thing my friend and I remarked when we got our burgers. It was like they compressed the burgers. We both got the Little Hat, which is the only hamburger option with a single beef patty. It tasted like an average burger. I also got a cookies & cream milkshake, which was okay as well. Not enough cookie pieces as I would have liked. The milkshake and burger came out to $12 total, which seemed steep for the quality and amount of food. I did like how they have three different sauces that are unique to their restaurant. The wait was longer than we anticipated as there was no line to order, but it took a while for our food to be ready. This seems like a great place for families as there were so many kids on the outdoor playground. I love the wooden log aesthetic.

My wife had the special, Beef stew with Corn Bread. The catfish was very good and tasty both sides were good. The beef stew left a lot to be desired my wife was looking forward to it. Then she started picking out the meat with all the fat and grizzle on it, which ended up being 85% of all the meat in the bowl. we told the waitress about it and she seemed put off about it. She told the cook and the manager. A little while later she brings a small bowl out with " what she said the cook said had lean meat on it." the first three pieces I took off had more grizzle on it. Sorry not cutting it, the manager never came over to the table to say anything or acknowledge the problem. A little concern would have been nice. went to pay the bill and the girl at the register said she could charge me half price for the food. I guess that is the best they can do, so it would seem all they want is your money and not trying to fix the problem. we will never cross this threshold again wishing you the best in the future.

I ordered the three meat combo and the jalapeño cheese sausage was phenomenal. Bad Next: The brisket was mostly dry and not flavorful compared to other bbq places around. The pulled pork was fatty and not in the good way. The sides seemed to be store bought, for example the green beens were definitely canned and the potato salad was store bought and premade. The prices were a bit high for the quality of the food but portions were decent I guess. If I came back it would be to try a burger, but with a price of $17 a piece I will not be back.
