I finally made it in here after years of always going to the competition. I've been craving a real gyros that susie's never had and I was actually satisfied.
The fries are nice and fresh also. I only have one gripe is that they put the sauce on the pita and by the time I get to work to eat it...45 min. or so, the pita breaks apart. Its awesome fresh but next time I get it to eat later, I'll be sure to have the sauce on the side or on top of the meat.
I just wish they were open past midnite so I'd have an alternative place to go after work.
Best fries in Old Irving, and would be a good competitor in several other neighborhoods too. Just can't give 5 stars to a fast food joint but if I've eaten here once, I've eaten at least two dozen times. Al is a sweetheart and everything is made to order and comes at you HOT. Gyros are fantastic. Lucky it's within walking distance.
Heaven on earth is vanilla and chocolate swirled soft serve in a cone on a nice summer day. I crave twist cones every summer for two reasons. The first being that they are just delicious and second they remind me of my childhood and simpler times. I had been on a twist cone search only to find that McDonald's and Baskin Robins both don't have them, even though when I was younger they did. Which is slightly saddening. A friend of mine mentioned that Beef & Burger had them. Guess what....they do! B&B is my heaven on earth during the summer season.
Beef And Burger (formerly Golfo's) is my neighborhood Burger, hot dog, beef place. Their cheeseburgers are to die for. Their fresh cut fries are so good that I compare everyones fries to theirs. My Mom will eat no one elses fries. The owner who runs the register is so nice and is always friendly and courteous. Great fast food at great prices!
Just went again tonight on the way home and the chesseburger was excellent. Such a big burger for the price! And the owner and his wife are SO nice and friendly. Its always busy too which is nice to see. I hope they're doing well and stay in the neighborhood for a long time.
We love Beef & Burger. The food here is always so fresh and cooked right on the spot. Forget Susie's next door their food pales by comparison. The portions are generous and their prices are very reasonable. Get the hot dog special and you will get more french fries then you can possibly eat. Fresh cut and delish. The down side is they are not open late and the service can be slow. But when you are cooking freshly prepared food this will happen. The owners/employees are really nice. The Gyros is amazing. If you are getting to to go ask for the sauce on the side or you will have a soggy pita. Not their fault but it happens. The steak taco's are also ridiculously good. The shakes and icecream are also really good. Super clean place!
Love Beef and Burger!!! Great family-run place. We always visited when it was called Golfo's, under different ownership. It has actually gotten BETTER, which is actually hard to believe. It's super clean and updated now. Best burgers, gyros, milkshakes and fries! Incredible portions and free fries with every meal. You can't beat the prices, and they are open way more hours that Golfo's ever was...
OK, i really DO love Susie's, but my one gripe--besides the slow service, which I admit is often worth it--is their sub-par gyros. Beef & Burger has solved that problem with its generous portion of succulent, spit-roasted meat, thinly sliced and perfectly seasoned. To top that off, it's served with a heaping side of rich, garlicky tzatziki studded with recognizable, still-crisp shreds of cucumber. order your cheese fries at susie's, hop over to B&B for a gyros and get back across the street just in time to grab your spuds fresh out of the fryer. delectable!
Deee-lish!!! Great gyros, burgers and chili dogs.....but the fries, holy moses, are FANTASTIC (hand cut, skin-on, perfectly salted, mega-generous portions and 'free' with sandwiches). Nice, clean little place, friendly service, reasonable prices. I DO wish they were open a bit later (and they're CLOSED on Sundays), but the owner is always there when they are open, so I understand he needs a break. Food much better than Susie's, IMO.
So glad I found this place. Ever since I moved away from Sam's Chicken and Ribs I've needed a burger/gyro/polish place, and B&B is great. Their burgers are delicious, with lots of cold, crisp vegetables on top. The fries, as many have said, are ridiculously good too. I sometimes call ahead for pickup, and somehow it's always only 15 minutes - no matter what I order, at what time of day.
Beef & Burger holds its own, despite the stiff competition from Susie's across the street. Beef & Burger has a smaller menu than Susie's, but seriously, who doesn't? Their burgers are fantastic, and the fresh cut fries are fantastic. Your food is freshly prepared, and the staff couldn't be nicer. I'm a big fan.
I enjoy Beef and Burger so much! Their pineapple shake is so good it reminds me of long gone Toot's when I would get a pineapple strawberry shake or a flamingo cone. Their hot dogs are really good, but the star of the show is their fries. The fries are just the right firmness and saltiness and always hot. The prices are right too and so is the service, though I do miss the old owner who ran it when it was Golfo's. Not much has changed and it is still my favorite place to get a hot dog and shake over its next door neighbor.
The chicken from this place is the best i've ever had. Even better then upscale restaurants. It's perfectly marinated in herbs and spices and never disappoints. You can have it on a pita (my favorite), a bun or in a salad. I get it so much the owner started suggesting other items on his menu every time he sees me (I promised him I would order something else). The fries are fresh and equally as delicious. The portions are generous (see pic). The place is small so I always take it to go. The owner is friendly and helpful, the service is fast, excellent prices, great food...what more could you ask for? Ever since I started frequenting this place, going down the street to Susie's has never crossed my mind.
I'm here a couple of times a week. While I was initially lured into to Susie's down the street by the neon and old-school charm, I've learned that this place makes a far better burger, polish, and gyro. The fries are pretty damned good, too.
Friendly staff, clean, fast, cheap.
What else could you want in fast food?
the staff here is super nice. it is usually two guys behind the counter. the tacos are HUGE and delicious, one is more than enough to eat. my friend gets the gyros and he said it is much better than others he has had. all of the meats are delicious and seasoned well, but not too salty tasting. the large fry is GIGANTIC, but fantastic to share with you and two friends or so. they are fluffy in the middle crisp on the outside. mmm.
Having been to Susie's often for a fast food fix - I would notice a huge crowd inside the Beef & Burger joint which is a store front just North of Susie's. For several weeks, I wondered what the draw was about until my fast food craving hit me in the middle of the morning. I got to the place and notice how small it is. No tables, just ledges where you can sit or stand to consume your meal. The grill/kitchen took up half the inside space. The choices varies from grilled chicken, steak sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs / polish, gyros, fried chicken, shrimp, some salads, shakes and Greek styled desserts- little of everything to hit all my cravings-the best part is that they hand cut their fries and the fries comes free with all sandwich orders.
I couldn't decide what to order - so I played it safe and ordered an Italian beef combo with peppers. The fresh and hot fries were the best- the fries were so hot and crispy that you just want to devour them right away but can't because your mouth is burning from the hot oil. The sandwich had great flavor and the size was overwhelming- it was a mistake for me to try to drive home while trying to eat this thing. You definitely have to use two hands to take on the sandwich. One set-back was that I ordered my sandwich "dry"-not dipped-and they had dipped it which made it more of a challenge to keep the "thing" together and not made a huge mess in the car. After the meal - I couldn't eat anymore for the rest of the day.
I will be back, and next time, go early to avoid the crowds and dine in.
