Husband and wife team (used to run the Fairway Grill on the westside) run this new place in an old strip center on Hwy 377 just south of the Weatherford Traffic circle. Service was horrible - got our drink order and food order wrong and then forgot to even bring one of the burgers. But the food was quality.

Burger has great flavor. Definitely lots of grease, so be prepared for a hand towelette affair. Buns are toasted, which we like, and portion was 1/3rd pound. Basic cheeseburger comes with red onion, tomato and mustard, but no lettuce. Options for mushrooms, bacon and jalapenos.

Burgers are served in  basket (unwrapped) with fries or onion rings. Appearance was appetizing and temperature was great. Cheese nicely melted.  The fries were different than other places (as you can see.) Not hand-cut or made in the store, so you loose some authenticity points, but still nice.

The place itself is rather dull. We like the "hole-in-the-wall" atmosphere (like Charley's or Fred's Texas Cafe,) but this had a different feel. More of a "stripped down strip center" feel as it sits next to a washateria in an old strip center with little appeal. It may be hard to find due to the fact that there is no "real" sign out front - just a banner hanging on the wall - so drive slowly. It is on the west side of 377.

The menu was small and focused on meat (as it should be.) There are some options for your non-Burger Saturday friends, though.  

All in all, if you are a "purest" you will love this burger. But be patient.
