This might just be the best burger place in Midland-Odessa. The location was very easy to find and fairly quick for a made after order establishment. That being said, make sure you're not in line waiting during the lunch rush. The parking area can be kind of packed and playing move that car(car janga) in 100 degree temps is not the best car game I've ever played. Once you get your burger, however, you forget all about car games. The nostalgia is felt eating my burger and fries almost brought a tear to my eyes. Burger was seasoned and cooked perfectly. Fries were hot and salted just right. It's definitely one of those "worth it", establishments. If you're craving a good burger this is the place.

Recommended stop by a friend. Definitely the old style walk up window type of place from years gone by. Great onion rings. Crispy, hot and fresh. 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. Friendly staff.

Classic Hamburger shack straight from the atomic age. Super Jalapeno burger, grilled onions, double meat, a slice of cheese, HUGE. Also, the kid loved her plain cheese burger because they get it when you order plain :) A continuing staple of our family Oh also, you can get a burger at 9am!

Burgers were very good.. The onion rings were the best I ever had. My drink order wasn't right or I would have given them 5 stars

I was recommended this place by someone and thought I'd 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.

There was a long wait time, but to be fair, it was worth it. The food was great and the burger was, in my opinion, better than in and out. The fries were really fresh as well. The only complaint was the parking was but weird. People just kinda parked everywhere making it hard to get in and out of the parking lot. Will definitely go again, and probably call ahead.

This burger joint is the real deal! They offer malts/shakes and good old fashion juicy burgers, onion rings and perfectly seasoned fries. It’s a 3 generation run establishment. It has 1950s architecture and wood frame windows. I appreciate the cash discount offer. Ordering food from here and eating in the car makes me feel like I took a step back in time. Thank you for being here Bobs!
