Zesty Burger

Nice size burger patties. But not a lot of flavor. The fries were soft but had good flavor. Wish they would've put that fry seasoning on the burger and cooked the fries a bit longer. That would've been awesome!! Took a real long time in the drive thru. Pulled forward and parked to wait about 25 minutes before food arrived. Price was ok. About $10 for a small combo. Lettuce wasn't very fresh either. Bun was large. Pickle was good. Root beer was great! Perfect amount of ice. Probably won't be back.

This is the best place to get a good burger, my wife and i get out usual burgers once a week here. The staff is always friendly and helpful. I won't pay for a McDonald's 7 dollar quarter pounder when they're really no bigger than a cheeseburger. 5.79 for a bacon cheeseburger at zesty burger and believe me it's a burger the way burgers are supposed to be made.

I'm really torn about how many stars I should put. I've lived in this town for 2 years. Eaten at Zesty Burger several times. They have, in my opinion, the best burgers! Always fresh, dripping delicious juices. I rarely order other stuff from the menu. Usually, it's just my wife and I getting food. THE ONE MAJOR PROBLEM, they are slow as hell! I understand it's fresh and that can't be rushed. But for drive thru... it should be soooo much faster! You order at the window and then sit behind the place for a lengthy amount of time before your food is brought out. Don't bring your whole family or even one kid, take out. Today, we ordered for the whole family. I knew I was going to regret it. My wife and I with our middle child in the back seat. 3 JR cheese burgers, large shrimp basket, catfish & shrimp basket, regular cheese burger with everything, the ft long bacon wrapped hot dog, orders of fries and an order of onion rings. I think we waited 30+ minutes. No onion rings, the hot dog was not a foot long and the chilli on it tasted weird and my wife wouldn't eat it. Everything else tastes great! Oh wait! There were 2 onion rings mixed in with fries in my catfish & shrimp basket, and there was a salad..... Anyway. I don't know. All that for $68 and change.

I went by the location today while traveling through Lufkin. It only showed a 4.2 on the reviews but I prefer the “mom & pop” businesses over the franchise’s. Anyway I ordered a hamburger and fries and a drink and I asked the counter person if the fries were skin on or skin off fries, as I really dislike skin on, and she informed me that they were skin off so I asked for some crispy fries. What I got was soggy skin on fries, when I asked her she again she confirmed that they were skin off and then proceeded to ask the cook and WOW, all they serve is skin on fries. At least the hamburger was decent, but I doubt that will make my way back there again.
