My wife and I ate here for the first time today and I’ll just say it was the best burger in Texoma. Hands down. I ordered the Sam Houston and could have eaten TWO Sam Houstons it was so good. Great portions, DELICIOUS bread for the buns, and the meat actually tasted amazing! Go check out this place. Definitely worth it.

First time we stopped here. I had a Sam Houston burger and hand-cut fries. Burgers are 1/3 lbs., cooked to be moist but not runny; buns are light and fluffy. my choice came with BBQ sauce, bacon, cheddar cheese, grilled onions and pickles. I thoroughly enjoyed every bite. The sauce was applied to where there was enough to enjoy the flavor, but there was nothing squirting out the sides! Fantastic! Fries were well seasoned and delicious. My husband was equally satisfied with his meal. We brought home chocolate chip cookies, cinnamon rolls, and individual size coconut pies. Everything was great! 10 stars, and we will definitely go back!

Found them thru a local fb group advertising their brown bag lunch special. I’ve eaten here a couple times. Food is phenomenal every time. And great prices.

This is a hidden gem in Bells, Tx. It's small but they also have some seating outside. It's owned by a chef and he cooks and his wife serves, greets, and runs register! They are a dynamic couple. Food is delicious, the hamburger buns are even homemade, as are the cinnamon rolls and cookies! The homemade potato chips are the best I've ever had!! If you are ever up around Bonham please check them out, you won't regret it was ?

Small quaint old town diner and Cafe for breakfast and lunch. Was craving a breakfast burrito. 1836 hit the spot. Owner is a pleasure! Food was delicious to say the least. Fresh, homemade and well put together! Happy to have found this little gem of a spot. Will surely make the 20 minute drive to have this food in my belly more often. You can tell they do well by the continuous flow of curbside to go orders being picked up! Alot of homemade treats also! Will have to give them a try. In my opinion, a MUST TRY BREAKFAST/ LUNCH establishment!

After a morning of wood hauling we stopped by there on a whim. Burgers are stellar. If you like hamburgers you have to try this place. Buns are handmade and are for sure the star of the burger. I went with jalapeño cheddar. I got the double meat and really was almost overwhelmed from the size. Bub got fries and I got the house made chips so we could split and try both. Don’t disregard this hidden gem. Give it a go

Small breakfast and lunch diner. Great breakfast. We just tried the burgers for lunch and they’re delicious. Also, homemade fries and chips. Seating is limited. Service is great!

Wow. So worth the drive. Small location, so check ahead because this place is delicious. Great staff, excellent cook, and man that food was off the chart. I had the Country Bennie, scratch made sausage gravy, crisp bacon, and the country potatoes were perfect. Still thinking about it 6 hours later.
