Bill's Burgers, Wings and Things ... 2 blocks west of 281 on the north side of hwy 29 at Hamilton Creek. Hand made burger patties, daily fresh cut fries and onion rings .... a 1/2 order of either is plenty for one person. I prefer the Swiss and mushroom with fresh grilled jalapenos. Good stuff!!!

Storm's is a solid burger.

Isn't it Storms? Always heard about it. Storm's in Burnet is about 4 blocks north of hwy 29 on the west side of 281. That is the original burger joint called Buster's from back in the 50s-80s before Storms bought them out and remodeled. Storms in Lampasas is on the east side of 281/183 kinda middle of town. They are known for the Storm's special which is a 1/2# triple meat burger with fresh cut fries, which was one of my go-to burgers for many years ... I think Bill's (mentioned above in Burnet) is better, but that's my opinion.

Used to love the burger at Antler's Cafe in Bulverde right along 281. I belive they relocated to the east of 281. I assume they are still around, but if anyone knows and can comment on their food quality it would be appreciated.

Storm’s in Lampasas and Burnet for sure! Bill’s in Burnet a few blocks off 281 on hwy 29 is also very good. They had a location in Lampasas but it looked like another restaurant had taken its place when I drove through there last month.

The one in Burnet is very solid.

This business of not being able to find qualified help is a serious matter for a lot of independent restaurants/FF joints. Our local BBQ has greatly curtailed hours because the owner can't find enough help, says the sign on the door.

I think every kid should work at a restaurant. 3 of our 4 listened to me. I bussed tables at a Mexican Food place before I could drive. 'Waited tables and cooked all through college. What little "people skills" I possess, I learned a lot of them from dealing with ALL kinds of people in a restaurant setting.

I spent a miserable Father's Day supper at Pecan St. in Johnson City, and it had absolutely nothing to do with Pecan St. After the manic son-in-law left, with by baby girl, right after they announced that they were moving to Florida (my gift was an American Airlines gift card, which I could never get American Airlines to honor, for anything), I got gloriously drunk, the most I'd been on beer in many, many years, and worst to date (on beer). He's a miserable little [censored]. Thanks for the memories!
