Their burgers and french fries are excellent and their milkshakes are the best I have ever tasted! Don't know why this restaurant isn't more popular. They need more locations. Service was quick as well.

Excellent service. Our food was yummy and fast. Our waitress checked on us often and kept our drinks full. Fun diner vibe. You can sit at the counter and watch them make the meals. Restrooms were clean.

Gourmet burger joint with a retro diner vibe. Open kitchen layout. Everything comes with fries. The smokehouse and bacon cheddar burgers are recommended. The rocket burger is also popular. The fries were hot and crispy perfection. They have vegan milkshakes with coconut whipped creme! They also have vegan cheese for the burgers. And gluten free buns. They can easily handle a group of twelve, maybe more if you call ahead.13 stools at the counter, plus three chairs. High table for eight, four high table for four, 11 booths for four, 7 tables for two, two larger booths for six. Easily 100 seats packed in to this strip mall location. Easily best burger place on the island. Service was fabulous.

Our waitress was very kind and the food was great! We came here twice while we stayed on South Padre Island. Our kids love their chicken tenders, fries, and cheeseburgers. I got the bacon burger and it was yummy! My husband got the chicken club and it was also delicious. The waitress brought over these plates with all different facial expressions for my kids. It's a cute, original idea.

The food and service were excellent. The only thing is that I felt like the atmosphere was a bit toned down. Might just be me that thinks that. I still recommend the place for a good bite to eat.
