    Double cheeseburger with double cheese (typically comes with one slice of cheese) and large order of tator tots.
    Ivan C.

    We were checking out nearby downtown Denison and some of the historical sites nearby when the Watsons Hamburgers sign spoke to our grumbling stomachs. We didn't realize it was an 'old-timey' drive-in when we were walking up, and were relived to see that they had seating indoors. There are about 6 tables that seat about 4 people each inside, not much room if they get busy. They also have a sign posted that there is no public restroom. The portions here are pretty large and definitely filling. I ordered a double cheeseburger, I added another slice of cheese because it normally only comes with one slice. For my side I got a large order of tater tots. The total for 2 burgers, 2 large sides, and 2 large drinks plus tip came to around $20. This place seemed pretty popular as our table was the only one open when we got there and a line formed once we ordered and sat. It's really nice to see spots like this still thriving with so many other fast food chains around.

    The milk shakes are watery and disgusting. Don't recommend. Those used to be good here.

    This is my favorite place to splurge! Great burger, chili cheese dog, and the best strawberry shake in Denison.

    One of the best hamburgers I've ever had! Fresh handout fries, not frozen! This place is really good!

    I ordered a cheeseburger meal, steak finger meal, and an apple turnover, just to be able to try a few things.

    Looking for a nostalgic place to enjoy great beer, high-end spirits, and great food? This is the…read moreplace! George's has a fun atmosphere where friends can hang with each other and enjoy a great drink with food. On the weekends they have live music that is phenomenal! And let's not forget, the staff is amazing! Amanda and Bobby keep the drinks flowing, and the food going! They are the BEST! The owners came out to greet us - they were so kind and friendly. It's no wonder why this is such a great hit in Denison! By the way, Saturday night is steak night and man are they delicious! Where else can you find a charcoal grilled steak and big baked potato for under $25? Hats off to the chef! We also had the fried pickles. Don't be surprised when the big plate of fried pickles comes out. They were unbelievably good! We will continue to come back again and again. This place is highly recommended! A real person. Not an employee or friend writing a review. Bobby Lindamood Colleyville, Tx

    We found this gem on Yelp, thank you fellow yelpers! Parking was a breeze, but we came early,…read morebefore music, not sure how it is later. All staff we came in contact with was super helpful. Our table server brought our dog a huge bowl of water. (yes, dogs are allowed on the patio, this is July and the patio is nice with a breeze). If you bring your pup, just walk right through the restaurant, and, of course, clean up after them. The food and beverages were just what we wanted, bourbon burger with fries, yum and farmer's burger with veggies, actually good veggies. Good wine, great beer. Do yourself a favor and pop in here!
