"Hat Creek started off as a food truck in 2008 before eventually expanding to more than two dozen locations across Texas. The menus mostly follow the classic burger-joint format—burgers, fried chicken sandwiches, salads, and milkshakes—but Hat Creek also has a handful of lettuce wraps, paleo/keto bowls, and chicken nuggets. Their burger leans oversalted, but the thick-cut pickles and the toasted, hinged bun are nice touches that make this feel a little fancier than fast food." - Nicolai McCrary

"The casual Texas chain’s Burnet Road location serves up those good burgers and shakes, and there’s even an outdoor playscape to entertain kids. Takeout orders can be placed online or in person; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in areas." - Darcie Duttweiler

Consistently the worst quality burgers out of all the Hatcreek locations I’ve been to from the drive thru. Just got a little hat burger and it had half a head of lettuce on it and the bun looked like it was a week old and had been stepped on. I REALLY want to like this location but every. Single. Burger is constructed absolutely horribly. McDonalds, p.terrys, dans hamburgers can all construct a decent burger but not at this hat creek location on burnet. The lettuce was like 2 inches thick before I removed it. Maybe the cooks need to be retrained or need better supervision. Who knows.

We were there for lunch today 5/17 and we were not only greeted by the friendliest staff the second we walked in but we were also served by the friendliest man (I didn’t catch his name) who had such a positive energy. On top of that, husband took a spill in the parking lot while holding our toddler as we were leaving and this same man came outside to check on us and got our toddler a milkshake to help her feel better. We were too shaken up so I didn’t ask his name but I’m sure if he reads this he’ll know who we are. To that man, thank you for being so incredibly kind and caring! We hope to see you again in the future.

Hat Creek always has good burgers and today was no exception. What impressed me today was the young man working at the drive thru. He was friendly, observant, and seemed proud of his work. If he is not already a manager or a franchise owner he will be soon. There are a couple good burger places in that area but I would go back because of the service I received.

I came for lunch and the staff is so friendly! I got the veggie burger with fries 🍟 the burger was a little bit dry. But if you add the fry sauce it’s super good. The fries are also really good with the Cajun seasoning.

We had a good experience here. The service was friendly and fast. They have tables inside and outside. They have highchairs and an awesome playground. It is all fenced in and the ground is padded so it is safe and fun for the kids. The food was really good too. They have fun sauces by the drinks and napkins station. My husband ordered their classic burger and I got their grilled chicken sandwich. I would definitely recommend this place.

Hat Creek is usually my place to go. But this week I had 2 not so good experiences. I went there 20 minutes before their closing time, they took my order and then they told be they couldn’t fulfilled my order because their chicken had gone bad, and they retuned my money, which I understand that happens sometimes, but it took them 10 minutes to tell me after taking my order. Then yesterday, I went to get a fried chicken sandwich and it was the worst sandwich ever. It was dripping with grease/oil. The bread was soggy from all the grease. If you pressed the chicken just slightly you can see the grease. I was super grossed out I had to throw away 2 thirds of my sandwich. I am pretty sure it isn’t supposed to be like that. Please improve the quality of your food and service.

TLDR: An above par fast food burger. Hat Creek fills the same market niche as places like P-Terry's and In-N-out. It provides a slightly better than average burger, and a pretty decent atmosphere. the restaurant overall was clean, the staff were nice. pretty prime example of a fast food place. One nice thing they do have is they serve beer, which does set them apart. I had the "Big Hat" combo with fries. the burger itself was pretty decent. Nothing absolutely mind blowing, but I got what I paid for. Same for the fries. they do have a couple sauce options available for free, which is nice, as being charged 25 cents for some sauce is sort of annoying. all things considered, I'd put this place at slightly above a 3/5.

First time here with the family, it was great! Food was awesome, and the young man at the register was so kind a professional!! Best customer service we’ve had in a long time. We will definitely be back :)
