Extremely disappointing experience. My family and I came in for lunch, and our son was briefly a little loud. We immediately calmed him down, yet the manager still decided to kick us out.
There was no attempt to show understanding or offer a reasonable solution — just an immediate decision to remove a family who had already handled the situation. This was unnecessary and unprofessional. Families should be treated with basic respect, not singled out and embarrassed.
If you’re planning to dine here with your family, I strongly suggest you reconsider.

Flavor: B+ Service: B Tea: A Solo dining: B You’d think this place might’ve been here forever with its classy but casual mancave diner vibes. But it’s only 15 years old. This is another place with some great signs. First is “Stay in line. Order your own food. Don’t get upset if we catch you table poaching.” This reminds me of Bryant’s in Memphis… you don’t really know how a table might open up when you’re standing in that long-ass line but as long as no one saves tables and no one lingers it cycles through as if a world-class logistics team is making it happen. Same here. And I love setting the clear expectation. It’s just like good classroom instruction. The other sign on the door is “Nobody came here to hear screaming children.” In small print at the bottom is “The Purple Cow is located at…” with its location info. Is the Purple Cow a sister restaurant with a more kid-friendly vibe? Or is it their competition? Or just a place the owner has a personal beef with? I’ll likely never know but regardless I’m here for the scream-free atmosphere. Per recommendation I added the flat-top brisket to my cheeseburger which had good flavor. The burger patty was offered as “pink” or “no pink” and I thought mine was very “not pink” for being ordered “pink.” It’s a thicker patty and still somewhat juicy. I thought it lacked seasoning, but the cheese was melty and the veggies generous. I’m giving it a B+ on overall flavor. The tots were great, as was the tea. They offer a “jolly rancher tea” that I tried but I guess my inner 9-year-old wasn’t coming through because I passed. Still, props for a creative tea offering. The vibe here is not warm but not cold - more of a no-nonsense energy. Which perfectly matches the signs on the front door. Cheers to Maple & Motor for deterring the screaming children from their no-frills burger joint! #theburgertrail #texasburgers

I had the salmon sandwich and i was hooked after the first bite. The flavor was immaculate. Also, the onion rings were the best I've had since being out here. Everything was delicious and I will definitely be back for the salmon burger again.

My family and I were celebrating my daughter’s birthday and we were looking for something that would satisfy everybody’s unique taste. I happen to notice this place just by searching the Google map and it looked good enough to try. We Were amazed by how delicious the food was especially the cheeseburger. The gentleman at the front helped us to navigate ordering for everyone and you suggested the amount of fries to get for our group. My children had a great time and enjoyed the ambience. The restaurant had a unique look inside and I appreciated how clean the plly was, and ensuring that our table was clean as well. We will be happy to return!
