It is indeed a hole in the wall. The Burgers are small but amazing. You won’t be disappointed. This place has been around for years. I used to coke here a lot when I was younger. I definitely recommend this place. It’s located downtown Brownsville.

100 yeard old burger joint, you don't find that everyday. Loved them little burgers, patties were seasoned just right, edges were crispy, buns were firm, loved them. You have to try it when you come down to Brownsville

Your quintessential hole in the wall spot! Excellent hanburgers since 1922 on the American side of the border. Make sure you order 2 burgers, they are like sliders. Definitely make sure you stop there!

I finally tried their hamburgers after living in Brownsville for 52 years. I was surely missing out. The burgers are simple but full of flavor. The menu is simple. No french fries. They do sell small bags of chips. The location is just a hallway...Read More
