Friendly service. Fresh-cooked burgers were delicious. Tasted just like a homemade burger. Love the crinkle fries! It’s located inside the Valero station, with a few tables and chairs. We got ours to go.
This was one of the best burgers my husband and I have ever eaten. The fries and onion rings were delicious too! Super friendly staff as well! We will definitely come back when we come visit the island again
Funny enough, this ended up being my favorite place we ate at in Galveston on our vacation. I randomly found it based on reviews as it was not planned at all. I got the shrimp po boy and it did not disappoint! Very delicious, crispy, and a large portion. My wife got the burger with onion rings and she enjoyed it a lot. My kids for the grilled cheese and fries; no complaints. The lady's cooking in the kitchen were very nice and patient with us newcomers. Just a heads up that this is inside of a gas station with three or so tables. Not a ton of room to eat but it was fine for our family. I will come back for sure.
Food was surprisingly delicious! No frozen meat patties here, it was freshly made and perfectly seasoned. Onion rings were the best I've ever had and it paried very well with their in house ranch. Must try!!!!
This was my families favorite meal during our entire vacation. We ordered the patty melt, double patty burger with jalopeno and bacon and a kid’s chicken tender plate. Fries were amazing. Highly recommend!
Firstly, this is a gas station eatery. So keep this mind for what to expect. The food was good. We got the chicken fried chicken dinner and the double hamburger. Everything was good but one reason why I couldn’t not give it 5 stars on the food was the oil smelling a little fishy on the chicken fried chicken so my assumption is the same oil is used to fry up seafood and fries and everything else, not a good way to do it. That was my only gripe. The ladies who cook and server were awesome they were kind service with a smile and that always makes the experience so much better! So thank you ladies for that great attitude!
Really good onion rings! The burger could have used a little more seasoning but was good overall, nice and fresh. The cherry dump cake was very flavorful (and a nice surprise, I haven't had a dump cake in years). The staff was friendly and moved quickly. It's located inside a convenience store, so seating is limited. Definitely going back to try the meatloaf.
Freaking delicious food here. I know everyone raves about the burgers and I’ll be back for one but I had the chicken fried chicken with mashed potatoes and white gravy and it was soooooo good. My friend said her shrimp were better than a fancy seafood place on the island. I tasted the grilled zucchini and squash and omg, more yumminess! Don’t be put off by the location. The food and service are both stellar.
