    Great place! Good price, better quality for your dollar. Kontodo burger was amazing. Onion rings were hand cut and battered, pretty decent. Staff was very hospitable and efficient. My family and I will come back!

    My cheeseburger was Super stacked and delicious. That's how you can tell they was homemade. My lettuce and tomatoes Was fresh. Place is always super clean except the bathroom paper towel dispenser didn't work. That was the only bummer

    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.

    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.

    I was pretty hyped about giving this place a try, so my opinion could just be me going in with too high of expectations. The burger was a little overcooked, but not terribly. At best, the fries were lukewarm. The soda fountain was flat. The was right in the middle of the lunch hour, which really doesn't make sense that the fries weren't fresh. There were at least 15 other people eating in there. Anyways, I really wanted it to be great.

    Ordered dinner for my family, and my husband gets home and they forgot my child’s corn dog meal. I called up there, and “we forgot to tell you we were out of corn dogs, but we didn’t charge you for it so you can come tomorrow and get one.” Of course, as a mother I about lost my mind. Like yes, because that solves the current issue of my 1 year olds food not being here tonight while she’s currently hungry??? Honestly a disgusting lack of compassion or any humanity. I don’t care how good the food is. I won’t be back.

    Zesty burger will always be close to my heart, before the one shut down on south st. in Nacogdoches I would eat there. As a kid I would walk across the street from my grandfather's motorcycle shop to get everyone lunch about three times a week. Now that my grandfather's passed I eat at the one in Lufkin when I can to cherish the memories! Food is always on point and you couldn't ask for better service!

    We went here as a family when I was a kid, and I decided to stop by for lunch. I'm so happy to say the food is still so good. Memories of burgers tots and sitting at the park eating with my family came back. Great then and great now.

    Cynthia ALWAYS got an attitude & she always get orders wrong. This my fourth time having a run in with her. Now I remembered why I stopped going to this place ! The food is nothing but great but the customer service make you not even want to spend your money there . Do better Cynthia .

    The food was pretty good, the bell peppers on my Philly cheesesteak were raw. The root beer float was amazing and the tots were great. The people working there were kind and helpful.

    Refused to honor their sign for military. Said they only offer the discount to active duty in uniform despite their sign only saying "active duty military with ID". Could have taken 1 second to look at the given military ID that clearly says active duty. There are no military installations less than a couple hours away and could probably count on one hand how many uniformed military have actually come in during this places existence. Take down your sign or learn how to honor it. Missing food was icing on the cake, too. Garbage customer service.

    Outstanding. Perfectly grilled 1/2 pound burger topped with GRILL-TOASTED bun. Fresh lettuce and hand- sliced tomatoes. Honest retro look is the product of years. Great placement in its original location. A yummy Texas-to-Do must eat there place.

    I have to say, my most recent visit on 2/3/2023 was decent. The burgers we received didn't seem to have been seasoned at All. They were cooked properly and tasted ok, but I had to add a decent amount of salt and pepper and it still wasn't quite the same. We ordered 3 burgers between 3 people. I didn't mention anything until after I asked if the other peoples food was satisfactory... We all had the same opinion after we finished..."Were these even seasoned with anything??" , I'm not saying the food was horrible as it was all hot, fresh and made correctly, it was just kind of "flat" I guess in terms of the flavor/ taste, I've had better seasoned burgers from Sonic >_<, the people working here seemed young so I wasn't shocked that it was as bland as it was, if that's the only complaint I have then they're doing something right. Just don't be afraid to use the seasonings!!!

    First time here, went through drive thru. Ordered, paid and was asked to park and they would bring food to us. Probably took about 30 minutes to get our food, 2 burgers and 3 sides. Although that would not be considered fast, it seemed freshly cooked, they were busy and service was pleasant. Next time I will call the order ahead.

    Great prices, good food, friendly service, & a cute eclectic building. Good job Zesty Burger

  • 4/5 Heather Ann Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food. Be cautious of when you pay they will ring something up that doesn’t match the current menu price. Otherwise the food is great. Also, you have to remind them to give the kids meal drink because they forget.

    I absolutely love Zesty Burger! The menu has a ton of great options and I always know if I want some great food, they will never fail me. The service is amazing, and I always love trying different items on their menu. The burgers are full size and the fried pickle spears and fried green tomatoes are delicious!

    Burger was okay! Ordered 2 orders of Onion rings awful had to throw them away.

    The food was outstanding, they have the best burgers around but it was °83 inside while we were trying to enjoy it and when my wife said something to the staff the thermostat was locked up so it couldn't be changed and of course it was off. Otherwise, great food. Oh yeah, they didn't bring out my fries and almost charged me for another order. But otherwise.

    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.

    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.
