My favorite burgers in West Texas. O-rings are amazing. Chicken strips for the kids arent dry and the grill cheese sandwiches are also good. Folks working there are well mannered. Dont forget to grab a shake or malt Didnt save any to take a picture

First time to attempt to eat here. The staff was very friendly when ordering. As we waited for the food to be ready, we were approached by several homeless people asking for money that made my kids nervous. After we got our food and brought it home, found hair in our hamburgers.

Just tried BBB for the first time. So glad I did! I had a single patty cheeseburger, fries and a drink. It was only $11 and some change! The bun was toasted perfectly and the meat was flavorful. The fries were crisp and the sweet tea was good as well. Highly recommend!

I was recommended this place by someone and thought Id check it out. I was glad I did! There were a few cars when we got there and it was right at 11am. My daughter and I both ordered the large bacon cheeseburger with some fixings, and each had crinkled fries. These were some homemade burgers, and it was delicious. We ate there in the car. This place is an old style, drive up. So you have to get off and order and pick up. Most of the time, these types of places are good, and this one sure was worth the stop. The older lady who took my order was nice and funny. We had a nice little conversation. I definitely recommend you try this place. Oh, and before we left, there were more customers showing up, and it was starting to get really busy.

This Is an old school drive-in, where you go up to the window and place your order, and they call your number once its ready to come back up to their window, and pick it up. There isnt really an atmosphere, unless that sort of thing excites you, but theyve got great tasting food, and their Shakes/Malts are unbeatable (except THATS the reason I went there, and unfortunately their machine is down, and they are having to get a new machine, for them to make them again.

Maybe I ordered the wrong thing, but i got a steak sandwich and a side a french fries with cheese. The sandwich had no flavor and didnt taste anything like steak. The french fries was soggy & tasted oily and old. The cheese being used was nacho cheese which I thought wouldve been shredded cheese.

Came here cuz I was looking for a good, home style type burger. Atmosphere reminds me of a 80s-90s era that you see on older movies so I loved it. Food wise... Phenomenal!!! Burger was fresh and made with care, not ur usual chain type taste!! Ordered fries with cheese and they were not stingy with the cheese topping and fries were fresh and crispy!! Will definitely be coming here anytime Im in the mood for a burger!!!

I find it incredible that this hamburger business exists. Which apparently is many years old Family business. In particular, I suggest that you update your way of delivering With an electronic sign or a vibrating monitor, they also modernize their furniture that looks like the original. Parking: It has like 7 places in front And about 3 on one side.

Could have used a touch of salt when they first came out of the oil (it doesn t stick otherwise) but that s a personal preference. Everything was fresh from bun to fixing s on the burger.
