Short Stop

I asked for BBQ sauce and they said they didn't have any, so I asked for ketchup and they said they didn't carry that either. I'd recommend carrying some kind of sauce because that's crazy.

Wow tried one more time to pick up a late night order. It was delightful to see the fake Uber /DoorDash drivers trying to claim all the orders. Had to demand that I picked up my own meal. But apparently I can be a drunk grabbing 4 meals tonight, no problemo. I can't argue that the staff needs to deal with these people, or paid better to deny them. Someone needs the power to kick drunks out.

This review is for the Hwy 183 and Spicewood location, right on the frontage road. Short Stop always seems to get a bad rap, but for this location, the food is typically consistent, as is the service. Food: Burgers, fish sandwiches, chicken sandwiches, hot dogs, and fish platters with hush puppies (Friday's only). The fish was hot, cooked well, with a crispy shell/batter (yes, I'm aware it's previously frozen.) Tartar sauce had the right tang, and bun was soft. I'll remember to get it with no tomato next time as it did make things a bit soggy. Burger had a nice char and was a good size. Fries were good, shoestring kind. Won't be getting the lemonade again as it was the powered kind, and that's not for my tastebuds. Cost: Two meals and an add on hot dog ran us $19. Service: Pull up and order, wait was minimal, order taker was friendly, and food was out in no time. Pay and collect at the drive through window. Overall: You know what you're getting when you roll up to a Short Stop, and for what it is, food is reasonably priced, and decent. Takes cards.

I've found hair in my food before. Usually a strand or two that I can chalk up to being accidental. THIS TIME, however, there was so much hair in my burger than I'm genuinely concerned that this person may be experiencing some type of traumatic medical event. THIS IS DISGUSTING! I cannot even remotely justify this as a potential accident due to the SHEER AMOUNT that is in my food! I complained to the manager who seemed uninterested and told me that if I drove back (20 minutes because I stopped on my way home) that he would "try" to issue a refund. You know what... Keep your money and I'll keep your hair. I'm sure we'll never give each other any more of either ever again.

I was so excited to go to Short Stop for the first time and I told them that at the order speaker. A co-worker has been talking about the legacy franchise for a long time so I finally went. After the $10 bill and about 10 minute wait being the first in line I was still looking forward to it. Fresh cooked burgers are worth the wait I said. Then the disappointment hit when the $10 bag looked like it only had a pack of cigarettes in it. As the server rushed out of site so they don't get any uncomfortable requests, like ketchup or napkins. The $3 bag of fries didn't last through the 2nd stoplight on my 2 mile drive home. Was thinking of hitting McDonalds on the way to top off for a dollar. 10 minutes later I got to eat the burger. It was really good, not quite as good as the Jack-in-the-box across the street from it, but it was a good $7 burger.

Got the 1/4 lb cheeseburger and fries meal. The fries were pretty small and overly salty, but the burger was substantial and filling. For the price, I would say it was a pretty good deal, but nothing to write home about! The people who work there were cordial and friendly, which is always a plus!

TLDR: Passable burger, but there are better options.Came here for lunch one day. The line wasn't too terrible, and the service was pretty good. I did drive back to the office to eat, so things did get a bit cold, but I took that into account. The burger itself was edible, but frankly pretty disappointing, as were the fries. overall it was basically the bare minimum. If it's all that was around, It would suffice, but in a world with P-Terry's, In-n-out, and Whataburger, I'd choose those. 1.5/5

I think this location was bought by some lame family because they just sit around and talk to each other not really servicing the customers. It's gone downhill in quality while up in price as you can see by the food photos.

Horrible! This place had me and my 2 year old throwing up and shitting for 2 days straight, hell no never again

Review for Short Stop at 183 and Spicewood Springs Road. Once again they have kids running this location. I usually have good service if I pick something up for lunch but the food is declining. They no longer bother to toast the buns on the grill so if you go more than 2 blocks after purchasing the buns are already soggy. The fries are never crisp any more. The evenings are the worse when they have mostly young kids running it. Get home and always discover they have either left a burger or fries from the order. They tried to hand my husband 3 cokes tonight when he had only ordered 2 burger specials. They are no consistent with cooking the meat and I had to cook the rare burgers a little bit before putting them back on the bun tonight. As fast as the quality and the ability to properly fill orders are declining I expect they may end up going out of business before too long. They already often have to close one of the drive through sides because they have insufficient staff. Staff are handling money and food and too busy to wash their hands. I called the store to tell them about missing a burger in our order and that my husband was on his way to pick it up but discovered they now no longer have a phone number you can call. I see why now. Pay a little more and find a better place to a decent burger and fries. If they keep cooking rare burgers they might end up with a lot of food poisoning problems. They really need a responsible manager on staff during all shifts. The young kids working there are too busy with their phones and with each other to pay attention to the job they are being paid to do.
