Hunky's Old Fashioned Hamburgers

Fourth time here at Hunky's, and it keeps delivering! The burgers are consistently delicious, the prices are great, and the service is fantastic. On this visit, my milkshake was a bit thin, but the staff handled it right away without any hassle and made it perfect. It’s that kind of attention to detail and friendly service that keeps me coming back. Highly recommend!

It was a happy accident and Google sending me down a different route that I discovered Hunky's Old Fashioned Hamburgers. All I can say is thank you Google! I am always chasing the cheeseburger of my youth and this place delivered 100% The bun was fresh, the lettuce and tomato garden fresh, the cheese melted to perfection and topped with one of the juiciest tasting burgers I've had in a long time. It was real not what some corporation thinks a burger should taste like. No matter where you live this place is worth a visit. They have an amazing menu(included in my pics) and homemade onion rings that would make your grandmother jealous! And as if that's not enough they have fantastic shakes AND cakes!!! Will I go back? Most definitely! 10 out of 10 recommend.

Great little old time diner, complete with burgers, shakes, and even cake. We had convient, free parking out front, and the atmosphere was fun. Prices were good, and food was solid. Just good, simple diner food. I had a chicken sandwich, and others in our group had burgers and we were all satisfied.

Cashier grabbed the roach off the counter so quickly as if it was a crumbled dollar someone dropped. As if he was use to seeing roaches in that restaurant. So that's gross, and he just continued to take the next order like it was nothing. I had already taken the picture, I would have canceled my little order and got my money back, but I don't like the problems that come with it. So it was a thumbs down for me all around..food, service, atmosphere.

We visit Hunky's during lunch hours and the service was awesome!! Johnathan was very helpful with my order. the tenders in my basket were over cooked and offered to give me another item. He literally went above and beyond and I am grateful for that. Augustin was also very nice and checked on our table a couple of times. We were so pleased with the staff and how everyone was so friendly. we will visit soon!

Upon opening the front door at Hunky's, you're greeted with a positive vibe and welcoming smiles. The menu has quite a few offerings, and each one we tried was excellent. It was also a pleasant addition that there was a staff member checking on tables, topping off drinks and making sure you have everything you need. We've been there twice now and thoroughly enjoyed the Hunky's experience, and plan to go back whenever we're in the area next. If you like a good burger with fresh ingredients, and sides like crunchy onion rings, you can't go wrong - and the prices are not near what you will pay at many other similar establishments.

This place is exactly what we were looking for in an old fashion burger joint in today's world. Very good burger, simple basic good quality ingredients. Everything was hot and fresh, the oil was definitely fresh, the onion rings are thick and juicy but crisp on the outside. The jalapeno poppers have half a pepper and melted yellow cheese, perfectly fried. We also shared a strawberry milkshake and it was spot on!!! I have 0 complaints, the staff was so kind and helpful as well. Super fast and friendly service, lgbtq+ friendly, and they had some really yummy looking cake, we took a piece to go. I'm definitely gonna be returning here. Parking in the back of the building and handicap accessible ramp. Chris was the guy running the register, and he is amazing, Customer Service 👏 ❤️

It’s a classic burger! I got the Double Double with all the fixings and onion rings. The meat is seasoned and the bun is perfection, toasted and soft. They don’t make them like this anymore! Delicious! Atmosphere is okay. The floors need a little love but the customer service more than makes up for it. It’s inclusive and LGBTQIA+ friendly. Great price as well.

I love the original Hunky's in Oak lawn never thought I would eat a hamburger anywhere else, but Hunky's expanded and moved to Bishop arts district in Oak Cliff. The food is still is wonderful as the original, but you must save room for one of their home made dessert. Their coconut cake is to die for !!!!!!!!

Sorry, the burger didn't survive long enough to make a photo appearance! I would have preferred a bit more seasoning, but it disappeared so quickly anyway. This is my go-to spot for turkey burgers (at least for now). I've been here a few times and have always had a great experience with both the food quality and customer service. They can sauté just about anything you like--jalapeños, mushrooms, onions, you name it--add Swiss cheese (my favorite) over a juicy turkey patty, and I'm happy every time. They also offer soft drinks and pre-mixed drinks like Jack Daniels Honey & Lemonade. The service is excellent, the dining area is clean, the management is respectful, and this place is definitely on my list of good burger spots in Dallas.

Ugh I always forget to take a picture! Food was amazing as always! The yellow cake is my favorite!! Service is always efficient.

Heard this was a Dallas staple so wanted to check it out. The inside was very nice, giving an old school vibe. I went on a Sunday and it was pretty packed. You can tell they take pride in customer service which I can appreciate. I ordered the chipotle double burger with fries. The fries were just ok, I saw you could've got tots but wanted to see what the fries were about. I'll just say I should've got the tots. The burger was a thick patty and lacked seasoning. I felt it was cooked well done and it was a tad bit chewy for me. Didn't really taste the sauce so I asked for some BBQ which helped the burger a little bit. 3/5 for the burger it was still good, but not great. Pretty cool experience, I drive past it pretty often so wanted to check it out. Probably one and done for me though. But always check em out.

Delicious food! My Mushroom Swiss burger was delightful and will definitely be coming back. Service was friendly and man oh man, it was packed! All you can hear is laughter and fun times here. Ambiance was great, you gotta check em out soon!

Always hot and fresh! Burgers, chicken, turkey burgers, grilled cheese and bacon, tater tots. Onion rings are delicious. Plenty of parking in the back. Staff pleasant and helpful.

Love this place. We will definitely be back. Felt very welcomed. Food was top-notch delicious and hug burgers. Shakes were also good. Staff was super friendly and very attentive checking up on us.

Fantastic place in Oaklawn! Good prices, good aesthetic, good portions, good food. One of my friends, who cites himself as a "milkshake snob," loved the chocolate milkshake, and my vegetarian friend appreciated the multiple vegetarian options available. The staff is friendly and pays attention, no doubt that I'll be back.

We rarely venture into Dallas but really had a hunger for a good burger. The reviews were good here and we got lucky that it was raining...so traffic and customers were much lighter. This is a great older style burger cafe. The staff was awesome and super friendly. There's only about 15-20 tables so I can imagine it gets packed in a weekend night. They even have TV's inside to keep you company. We ordered the fried mushrooms because they looked so good on Yelp. They were even better in person. If these aren't homemade than I've been fooled. They were AWESOME! Lots of crunch and great batter that was too thick. My double swish marathon burger and chili cheese fries was spectacular. So much flavor in the hamburger patties and the bun wasn't too thick. The chili/cheese fries were so good too. Then I stole a couple of my wife's onion rings. Great batter that perfect and huge pieces of onion. Some of the best I've had in a long time. If we get back to this part of Dallas I will definitely come back here.

I have used their catering services for many events and the food is great!! I am writing this review because their accounting department lifted $1,522.00 from our company credit card, apologized via email for the accounting mistake and offered a refund. This was done on April 3rd. On May 31st I was promised a refund by Michael. As of August 15th, I have not been issued a refund. I have sent several emails to catering@thehamburgerman.com since May 31st and there's been no response to this issue, however, Michael has responded to catering requests. I am extremely dissapointed because my company intended to use them for several events in the future but I can't allow a catering company to help themselves to $1,522.00 of our company's money at will. Short of taking legal action, the least I can do for now is save another company or individual from this theft. I will continue to pursue my request for the money to be returned.

To our surprise our burgers were delicious and made fresh. The service was quick and the restaurant was clean and had a cool metro vibe with the old style tables, chairs and decor.

I made a quick stop here while running errands. I enjoyed my burger and thought it was solid especially for the price point. It's hard to find a meal for under $20 these days and Hunky's delivered. I thought it was better and less greasy than the average fast casual burger chain. The staff provided good, friendly service. I would return.

Great burger and fries for a reasonable price! Service was friendly and fast. Great place for people watching while enjoying a good meal!

These guys are the best! My wife and I love going there. From their burgers to their cakes to their service, it's all great!

No lie, the burgers are the best burgers I've had in a long time. The bread that they used is super soft! The Pattie's are fresh and didn't taste old or overcooked. We ordered one tray of large fries to share, and we didn't even finish them, the burger pretty much filled us up! I would definitely come back! I forgot to take pictures of my food and by the time I realized we were half way done . People were acting a little weird though staring at us and whatnot but I'd still come back

I have been here twice and both times the food burgers and fries were fresh and hot. Place is nice and clean and easy to get to. The onion rings were great, not too hard and not too soft. The only downfall to this place is the customer service, the staff that I have come in contact with both times at the register were not really friendly. Would give this place five stars if they could work on the way they interact with customers.

Tried this place out for the first time via ChowNow pick up order. Blue Bell Milk Shake (Strawberry) - Pretty standard strawberry shake. Sweet Potato Fries - Cold & soggy. Flavor was standard. Spicy Fried Pickle Chips - Cold & soggy. Flavor was standard. Homemade Onion Rings - These were super big. Cold, but still crunchy, amazingly. Flavor was standard. Hunky dog (no onion) - Cold. Pretty standard. Mushroom Swiss Burger (no tomato) - Cold. Not sure what they gave me. There was no tomato, like requested, but there was also no mushrooms and no cheese, on their mushroom Swiss burger. They added a random pineapple. Smoked Turkey Sandwich - Cold, but flavor good. Overall, we live pretty close ~ 10 minutes away & none of the food was even warm by the time we brought it home - everything was cold. I'm not really sure it was warm when we picked it up, to be honest. Everything was pretty standard tasting interns of flavor (except the mushroom Swiss - they probably gave me the wrong order). Nothing was bad. Not sure if I'd recommend. Not sure if I'd come back.

There's a sewer smell when you walk in likely unrelated to the business itself. Maybe the building or area. The burgers were good and the customer service was great. Will go back

Said and Vladimer were amazing to work with and came out, set up and were so friendly and the food was perfect. I would highly recommend them for your next get together, bbq or realtor open house. They make throwing a party so easy and clean up when they leave.

Please, please start offering GF buns! May hamburger joints offer a GF bun for $1-2 more. I'll gladly pay that. I ordered a burger on your lettuce wrap and you can see what I was served in the photo below. I was very disappointed.

The dude salad was supposed to come with a fried chicken breast and chipotle mayo. It was more like a chicken nugget and they forgot the dressing. Did have nice spinach, mushroom, tomato, and cucumber .

Hunky's is the place where you start the night and maybe finish it in the gayborhood. Variety of finger foods to start your meal with; juicy burgers, even meatless options. Relaxed atmosphere, large outdoor seating.

We stopped in while in Oak Lawn and I am super glad we did. The man behind the counter was super helpful and nice. I ordered my food and got my number. The food came out within 5 minutes. I love that they have options of drinks as well. The burger was fresh and seasoned really well. The fried mushrooms seemed really bland but weren't too bad. I would definitely come again!

Went here for lunch on valentines day and sat on the patio. The birds were all over the tables so that was a little unnerving but the food was delish and i appreciated that everyone working was wearing masks. The food came out quickly and was as ordered and described. I had a blt with avocado and fries and my dad had the patty melt with fries. We had a beer and strawberry shake for drinks. This is a spot my dad really likes so he'll definitely be back. Im glad i got to check it out while i was in town.

My Husband and I have been going to this location for 10 years +. Love the food, and love the employees - so kind and upbeat! Rick the owner is the nicest guy! And Chris the manager is great!! We will definitely keep coming back. Highly recommend to all our friends!

Been eating here for years, always had good service and food. The oak lawn location has a great patio.

Classic old school diner burger/fries/shakes. Right in the heart of the gayborhood- the staff are so friendly and great hype people!! The food is super yummy! There's also a great little patio area outside as well!

I used to LOVE going to Hunky's!!! They have some of the best burgers and onion rings. I also love that you can "people watch" while you eat. I really miss living in the DFW area near this place and so many others down in Oaklawn area!!! If you are ever in the area near this place YOU MUST GIVE THEM A TRY!! You will not regret it...promise!!!!Fried MushroomsHunky Chili DogMushroom Swiss BurgerTexas CheeseburgerBuffalo Burger

If you need an Amazing Group to cater your company event-call Michael and his Team-we have used these guys for multiple events and they are Amazing every time! Customer centric and very helpful! And the burgers and sides are perfect! Everyone walks away so happy! This is just an amazing set up! Fast -economical and efficient!!

The food is AMAZING and they have cakes in milkshakes!!!!! Me and my boyfriend always go to get burgers they great us with the biggest smiles ! One time they got my order wrong and the lady gave me a free cake I thought it was very sweet of her even though it was a honest mistake , the ambiance is like a old school burger place it's so cool !

I've been coming to Hunky's for about 6 years now and this location isn't what it used to be. Although I used to love a good customized burger and onion rings from this place, the last time i visited, the impossible burger and beef patty tasted as if it'd been previously frozen. hoping to go back and give it another try b/c that was NOT it.

CHRIS. That's it. That's the review. No but really, his service is AMAZING. All I got was a soda and a cider and he was still so sweet and nice to me. Next time I'm hungry i'll definitely be coming back here. Hopefully he's working plus it's a super cute place inside! ....My friend said he would literally marry him he was that amazing #supportlocalbusinesses

So worth the drive from east texas for one of the best hamburgers and onion rings !! Staff is always efficient and friendly. Food is serviced quickly and pipping hot. My glass is always full of diet coke. And those cakes are to die for !!! This place always rocks !!!

I've been coming to Hunky's on Cedar Springs for over 15 years now, and I hope the owner takes the time to read this. I write this, not to say how bad the business is, but to say how much I want ownership to show Hunky's the love I think it deserves. The food continues to be very good, as does the staff. That said, the state of the restaurant has been in a state of complete disrepair for many years. Booths are falling apart, walls and windows are disgusting to look at, the floors are so dirty and gross that the chairs stick to them when you try to move them. Tables are also falling apart. It looks like no one cares about the state of the restaurant. If business was hard to come by I could understand this lack of upkeep, but there is a constant line out the door and the prices of the food continue to be raised to the point that it's hard to feel good about spending $15-$20 for a burger and fries. Ownership has GOT to put some love back into their business, because it's getting more and more difficult to watch this once wonderful restaurant continue to decline to the point it's at now.

Want a big juicy burger? Here's the spot you've been looking for if you want a flavorful and robust sized burger to fill your hunger needs. These burgers are made really fresh, like burn your mouth fresh, if you don't let it cool down . The fries are not particularly my favorite but they are satisfying if I would incur . Nice location and very clean restaurant. Not a lot of traffic mid day on a Saturday which was great . I got the double double which came out to around $10 for the burger by itself . As mentioned earlier, I couldn't done without the fries but a good side. Fountain drinks come in a huge glass so I doubt you'll need a refill. Staff was so friendly and polite. Thanks guys for a burgerlicious experience.

Interesting place. Let me try to give an honest breakdown.... THE LOCATION: Cedar Springs... roughly two blocks (or so) from Streets Fine Chicken. The street is pretty busy with clubs, bars and other shops, but you can find adequate parking if you're patient and crafty enough. There's even parking (slightly) in front the restaurant... but again, you gotta stay on top of it and simply be lucky. All that to say that it's not terribly hard to find, and it's not "a hustle district" (like Deep Ellum) when it comes to paid parking or valet vultures. THE PLACE: Has a retro diner vibe. You can eat outside or inside. If it's night time (and the weather is nice) I recommend outside. The bathrooms (at least for the men) are not private. There's a urinalysis right next to the toilet. It's kind of pointless because when someone goes in, they lock the door and have a choice between a urinalysis or toilet. And to be honest, it might be awkward to urinate in there if someone is doing a "number two" and you two catch eyes. It's just a "crappy" time for small-talk. (NOTE: That's not implying anything other than the fact that bathroom moments are personal/ private and a separator should be there to divide the urinalysis from the toilet) ANYWAYS.... Moving on... THE PEOPLE: Extremely friendly THE FOOD: You place your order at the register, pay and they give you a number for your order. The food came out rather quickly. Burgers cooked medium-well. I suggest the onion rings if you go. My only gripe is the bun. It was just thick, dense and dry. I'm not a fan. If I go back, I'd like to see if there are bun options. I'd be curious to see if there's a Hawaiian bun or something. My wife had sweet potato fries. I'm not a fan of sweet potato fries in general... and these didn't change my mind. I'm very curious about the cakes. I didn't try them but I'll save that for another visit. OVERALL: I enjoyed it. I also had better burgers... Read my review on Kenny's Hamburgers in Plano. I still recommend this place but do your research on the menu. Really get into any choices on sides, bun or additions. Don't just go in and blindly order.

I loved it! It was well priced, good food, and the owners were lovely, and were really taking into account our experience and opinions of the restaurant, it was just lovely (and did I mention well priced?)

Do yourself a favor and order the onion rings and if they have it on special when you go, the Mexican hotdog. The food was phenomenal! There are a lot of higher-end places along this street, so it was great to fine a place to eat that could provide a big enough menu of standard American food that's acceptable to kids and not above their taste or your budget. Only giving 4/5 stars because the bathroom could use some renovation. It's an old building.

I stopped here because it was near my hotel and seemed quick and easy. I walked up to the counter and ordered a double-meat cheeseburger. The burger was solid, with a ton of flavor. It was a beautiful day, so I decided to sit outside. The server brought my food and couldn't have been nicer. He kept coming over to check on me to see if I needed anything. Solid food and solid service. I'd go back next time I'm in the area.

If you are looking for a good traditional burger joint, this is the place for you. They have nice outdoor seating area, which is a plus during this COVID era. We ordered mushroom swiss burger, which was their daily special menu when we went, and Texas cheeseburger. They both were delicious! Fries and sweet potato fries were all very yummy. My child also enjoyed his hotdog and chips. We definitely would love to go back when we are in the area.

Don't see too many old fashion burgers around anymore. They are so simple and so good! I love old fashion burgers. I got their regular burger, comes with mustard, lettuce, tomato, and onion on a patty. It was my first time in and got fried mushrooms and fries for sides. The fried mushrooms were bomb. Fries were ok. I will skip those next time and just fried mushrooms.

The food is always good, and the staff are always friendly to everyone. I've enjoyed everything I've ever eaten here and highly recommend it!

The service is so bad.... I waited about an hour and never got my burger and fries. The employees didn't even apologized or anything. New management is the worst.... Never coming back.

Reminded me of the burger joints in LA. Chili was piping hot. Burger was seasoned and everything was fresh and Made to order. I also had a slice of chocolate cake and red velvet both super moist and delicious. I've been back twice since this visit. Tenders were fire and so was the chili cheese dog. All beef!

Fabulous service, clean restaurant, delicious options! Our group was taking a photography class nearby and an attendee recommended this spot as he's from the area. It's a 10/10! Thank you!

I haven't had a burger like this in a long time. It was cooked great and thoughtfully put together. Every employee we interacted with was friendly and attentive. My picky child devoured their cheese sticks and chicken tender basket. We would have went back the next day but ran out time because we were just visiting Dallas. Prices were similar to the orange fast food place but food a lot better in my opinion. Will be back one day.

I finally found THAT place that I have dreamed of that would make old-fashioned hamburgers I remember from my childhood! I highly recommend for a good quality burger and fries! The burger, which was doubled-patty was cooked oh so well and for sure a real tasty mouthful. The inside has this old nostalgic look/felling ofan old diner. Super clean. The employees are great. Delivered food to table and came back to check on how everything was going. You can tell they take pride in their job and service & they truly are glad you came to their restaurant. Great location, close and convenient to the airport Good prices, great good.

Hunky's is my go to burger and hotdog place in Dallas. The food is always fresh and the orders are perfect each and every time. Their cakes are to die for especially the strawberry cake which is definitely tops in DFW. I usually order two slices for myself. I'm still not sure why they don't have cakes as an option on Doordash because my family would literally order cake from here multiple times a week. The burgers and hot dogs are big enough to fill up a football player. If you want good burgers and dogs then this should be where you visit.

Great burger and sandwiches a large menu of thing to eat. Try a lot of there burgers and the chicken burger they're great the place can get busy but I always can find a seat.service is counter but they are always friendly
