Pretty darn good burger the fries were hand cut and we're cooked to order.
The staff was friendly and efficient and had my order ready in a timely fashion during the lunch rush.
This is an old school classic building and times have been tough, but the location could use a little touch up but all in all a good lunch experience.
Fantastic Burger, Amazing Onion Rings and the Tots with Chili and Cheese were fantastic . Really good milkshakes as well. The burger was a standout, juicy and perfectly cooked and wow the flavor was incredible. Best burger I have had in a long time! The chili is amazing on tots, chili cheese dogs etc...
This place was worth the 2 hour drive to Whichita Falls from the DFW metroplex. You don't find classic burger joints like this anymore. Certainly worth the stop!!!
It has been a while since I have been to Gene's. Wasn't disappointed. The "Frisco Burger" and fries hit the spot.
Gene's Tasty Burger is the definition of a "Hole in the Wall Treasure". I consider myself a burger connoisseur and this place just might take the gold medal. In my humble opinion, it is without the a doubt the BEST burger I've had in Wichita Falls and definitely in the Top 5 Best Burgers in Texas.
We ended up visiting with the owner before we left and he informed us this location has been here since the 1960's but it was originally established uo the street a ways back in the 1950's.
There isn't anything fancy or out of the ordinary when dining here, and maybe that's what works so well. Maybe it reminds me of a simpler time when going in here. Just sitting in a booth, visiting with the person across form you, and enjoying an out of this world, juicy cheeseburger and hand battered onion rings. There is a large selection of "main foods" as well as sides and desserts. My stomach was already out of room by the time I got to desserts, but the dessert of the day was peach cobbler and I was sad I had no room left. There is also a handful of flavors if you are craving a good, old fashioned milkshake.
The owner said the customer base was mainly folks in their 60's, however, I can't stress enough how many people should try this place despite their age. The location to some people may seem "sketchy" to some, but don't let that be a factor and keep you from eating here. We felt perfectly comfortable while dining here and enjoyed every minute of it.
So... Bottom line... If you want a burger that will make you full from a meal and an enjoyable, affordable lunch/dinner, then I HIGHLY recommend Gene's Tasty Burger. You will not be disappointed!!
My family visited Gene’s Tasty Burgers. The food was awesome. What I like the most was the current owner talked to us about the history. It’s amazing! Evidently Gene, who is in his 90s, and his wife, who is also named Gene; spelled differently, still come in 3x a week: The owner shared the long standing secret recipe for their milkshakes. I will take that secret to my grave because he trusted me with the information. We are the family that came in while camping over the Thanksgiving weekend. Thank you for treating us so well.
