⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — Wilson Guzman
I came here on a recommendation by a local Texas comedian and I'm glad that I did. The restaurant has a nice homely feeling and the staff was extremely friendly. The cashier was very sweet and gave me recommendations on what to try and personally brought out my food to me along with some ketchup for my fries. I liked the burger but the only reason I gave this a 4 instead of a 5 is because the burger was heavy on the sauce and detracting from the taste that I was looking for. Otherwise, the burger patty itself was homemade and seasoned, the fries were piping hot and crispy and the soda tasted perfect. I love the pricing here, and that everyone is able to afford a burger whether full size or mini. You can walk out of here spending less than $10 for a homemade burger and feel satisfied.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Travis Baxter Jr.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — JD
Steak finger basket with fries, coleslaw, toast and gravy for 10 bucks!!! It was really good and the staff were very friendly. A customer asked me if it was my first time and I said yes. He then turned and told me "Welcome, all of its good!" He was correct about mine.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — Corey Gilley
Great food and low prices. When you hear the name Charburger Stockade, you picture a western themed rustic restaurant. Unfortunately it's not like that at all but it's still a great place. It feels like a classic diner.

Great prices good food.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Lonnie Stanley
Love the hamburgers at Char-Burger. Have been eating here since college and other than moving to the present location, it hasn't changed much. If you're looking for one of the best burgers around, you'll want to eat here. I recently tried the grilled chicken BLT on a wheat bun. I wanted a little healthier version and decided to give it a try. It was a good decision.
