My husband and I met a friend here for dinner. It's a little dark. Service was good. We started off with fried green beans and fried jalapeños both came out hot in temperature and the jalapeños brought the heat in your mouth! We got fried catfish, a taco salad and our friend got a burger. The catfish was the star, it was delicious, fried well and moist and flaky it comes with fries and hush puppies. The taco salad was a little off, the greens were fresh but the meat was an unseasoned hamburger patty. Our friends hamburger looked good and he ate the entire thing so I guess he liked it. If you like beer or margaritas from a machine this is your place. No old fashions could be made and the wine is little airplane sized bottles, one red and one white, with the wine I had rather that than a bottle that's been open for months. All in all, this is a decent place to eat if you order the right thing, the catfish and some more catfish .

Man I loved this place. Local burger spot that didn't not miss. I ordered their low carb option. A two beef patty option with cheese. Veggies and avocado on the side. The patties were good and juicy! I also added bacon to mine and they were not stingy with the bacon at all. I took down the whole thing! My waitress was super friendly and attentive. There was quite a bit of people, but no issues getting a table for myself. I will definitely stop here again if I am ever passing by on my way out of south Texas.

Took a detour and made it out to Vans. Our server recommended the 1/2 and 1/2 appetizer, with cheese curds. She was very helpful and should was so right about the cheese curds! The drinks were refilled without having to flag down the server. Major points for that. My daughter ordered the chicken straps, which she enjoyed. She enjoyed the crunch and the chicken was moist. The highlight for her were the fries. My double burger was huge and very filing. My only complaint was the patties were under seasoned. The char on the burgers provided a nice textual element to contast the soft bun. Speaking of the bun... this is just my preference and takes a good burger to a great burger. I prefer my buns buttered and toasted. Perhaps you have to ask to have this done, and it's my fault for not asking. But when your burger arrives and it's got that shiny sheen to it with a little toasted char on top? That's next level. All in all it was a good experience and I would be back soon.

Another disappointment, appetizer basket sucked. Fried Zucchini cut 1/2 inch thick, raw and cold. Ask for a manager to complain to and there is NEVER one there. Air head wait staff can never do anything to rectify the problem! I am a local and I am SICK of taking a 50 50 shot chance on how the food or service is going to be there today! This time ripped it! I WON'T be back and next time family comes to town Van's can kiss that large check goodbye, my money will be going to Corpus!
