"The chicken fried steak is the best I have ever had. The
service is awesome. Their burgers are great also. No other
place can beat East Texas Burger Company. Overall I give East
Texas Burger Company 5 stars." |

"This is one of
those small town, hole in the wall kind of joints
that you absolutely should stop at if you are hungry
at all. Great Burgers, fries and pies, with nice
atmosphere.
. Mineola is about an hour and a half East of Dallas
on US 80. I was visiting family during the week of
Thanksgiving, and stopped in for the first time in
years.
As we pulled up, we realized 2 things of immediate
concern. First, the restaurant was packed and we
wondered if we could find a table. Second, we
realized that we had the dog in the back seat of the
truck. After ducking inside briefly and discussing
the issues, we decided to order to go and have a
little picnic. |
This was both good and bad. Bad, because the quaint, disheveled
décor really provides that sort of greasy spoon ambience. We managed
to soak in some of the ambience and some of the grease as we waited
on our order (taking turns with the dog outside on a leash). Both
the bric-a-brac and the clientele were certainly eclectic, ranging
from locals, to tourists to random bikers passing through. Everyone
seemed to be happy to be there. The service was friendly, with
smiling employees asking everyone if there was anything else they
needed. Considering how busy they were, the 10-15 minutes we waited
on our order was not bad at all.
The Good was that it was an extremely nice day outside (sunny and
78), and there is a nice little Gazebo around the corner near the
railroad museum (if you can call it that). We got to watch a couple
of trains come by as a bonus.
Now on to the main course, so to speak…Scrumptious down home
burgers, in your choice of ¼ or ½ pound sizes. I’m not sure what
they put in the burgers, but they have a unique flavor…savory yet
different. My family was very impressed with how good these burgers
were. The dog was begging like she never had before…I guess she
could smell that there was something special about these burgers.
The curly fries were excellent too…sort of a succulent greasy potato
feast in your mouth…mmmmmmmm!
By the time we finished the burgers and fries, we were just too full
to try the pies. I hear they are really good. So, now I have to go
back with a bigger appetite. So, let's call this one a successful
culinary journey...good home made food...and nothing from Sam's Club
on the menu!"

Good luck and God bless.
"T'was the night before today, and all through the house,
everyone was hungry even the mouse!!! Me in my
boots and my cowboy hat; also Fred and his big yellow Kat.
Out of the kitchen we heard a dish shatter; we sprang from
the couch to see wussa matter. That's where we found our
wife's cooking with glee, so out the door ran Fred and me.
Then what to our wondering eyes did appear, the East Texas
Burger sign, and how did we cheer. On lunker, on chips, on
catfish and chicken... with a cold soft drink it's all
finger lickin'!! They heard us exclaim as we drove out of
sight, Goodbye wives! were eatin good tonight. "
