Very good burger and fries combo! They call it a platter I guess because they don’t offer drinks. My daughter sent me a link about this place the other day because she knows I am always looking for the quintessential burger and I love me a good “dive” especially if it involves going to the back of an old convenience store! I walked in and was the first in line, two other guys ordered right after me and none of us waited too long.
I got the classic burger platter and asked them to add bacon which. The meat had good flavor, the bacon was substantial and the lettuce, tomato and pickles were fresh. I assume the bacon accounted for the extra two dollars I paid.
Side note: my favorite place to eat in San Antonio was a very similar establishment but right by our office so I always knew I’d have ketchup at our office. I ordered this meal to-go at John’s and asked for a lot of ketchup. I was given five little packets which I knew wouldn’t be enough but I am always hesitant to ask for more. (I never waste ketchup). I normally have a secret stash in the car but I was borrowing a car with ours in the shop…no luck! I ran out of ketchup but that was not necessarily Johns fault. Still an excellent burger and I’d go back.
Also - as I alluded above, if you want a drink you have to order that separately from the convenience store.

Saw a video on TikTok and was like ok why not. It looks good. And I’m glad we drove the 30 mins to try this place. Got the Mexican burger and chicken torta. That was a dam good cheeseburger. Tasted vehicle fresh and just the right amount of spicy. The fries seem to be freshly cut and delicious. The guys working here are also very friendly.

One of those unassuming "hole in the wall" places that doesn't look like much on the outside, being attached to a small gas station, but they can sure make a burger. Beats out several of the surrounding fast food joints by a good bit in both flavor and value. Definitely recommend if you're looking for somewhere local and unassuming to get a surprisingly great burger.

The tacos are very expensive and small, just one tortilla and they are not good and the guy who serves seems like you are asking for something for free. I don't recommend it.

Best cheeseburger I’ve had in a long time! Reminds me of a backyard bbq. French fries are tossed in some red spices and are really good! Nice causal whole in the wall place where you can have a really good burger and tacos (best combination).
I had mushroom burgers and it was delicious!I asked for fries without seasoning and I think it was a good choice as the normal fries have a bit salty for me. (But tastes great!)At 4pm on Saturday, there were no chicken and fish tacos so need to come back earlier time to try them!

The hardest part is finding the place! Once you do, burger heaven awaits you! Pro tip: Park in the back. This is what brings back childhood memories of what a burger is supposed to taste like before all the fast food places took over. They serve an old school perfectly grilled burger here. They have many to choose from but I had a mushroom/swiss version that had diced grilled onions on it and was divine. I got it with the fries and was blown away that they actually cut their fries from a real potato leaving the skins on!!! Who does that except Mom? They also take credit/debit cards but please bring a little cash for the tip jar as they deserve a tip for serving this delicious food cooked to perfection. We ate outside on the picnic table as inside was not an option (they need to work on that part). They also have Mexican food like Tortas, Tacos (even fish tacos), Burritos, etc. but I highly suggest getting a burger and fries. Best I've had since moving to DFW in 2004 no joke. I came from Memphis and Huey's burgers so I know what I'm talking about.
