I think the atmosphere draws the crowd. The hamburgers are very good -- everything else pretty average. It's rustic atmosphere is what draws the crowd. The wait for the food is a little long for such a simple menu. If you're not in a hurry and want a very casual hangout/place to visit and have a beer then this place... More

I went to this place on the advice of a ex-Aggie friend and have no reference of other burger places in Bryan/College Station. This is a rustic looking place with a lot of random stuff on th wall. You can carve your name on the tables or write on the wall. They had a couple of TV's through out the... More

Well it's a 'must' when in College Station - was taken there for lunch by the Fire Marshall for a true Aggie experience - and it was. Very old school - a true casual place to hang out.

Fairly good food but pricey for the location and atmosphere. Tables could use a good cleaning. Parking lot needs improvement !

I have been going to Chicken Oil since I was a young tike and I still go and grub on their great burgers! The Death Burger is a must-try. The place is rustic and the atmosphere could not be more family friendly or even business casual. Great beer specials is the metaphorical icing on the cake that makes this place... More

We were a bit concerned by the appearance of the outside of the building because the place looks small. Once inside, its a nice size restaurant. We ordered burgers and chicken. We shared the fried pickles, fried jalapenos. All the food was good! The only disappointment was the restroom. It is so small but I think that's typical for Bryan/College... More

I loved going here when my kids were in college - a real college hang out, friendly and the hamburgers are just incredible - it's very historic for our area with lots of funny things to look at on the wall.

Loved this place. We ordered pickle chips and a couple of burgers and fries. The pickle chips were ready super FAST. Very tasty and the homemade ranch was awesome. The burgers were some of the best I've ever had! Juicy and hot! The only this I did not like (and almost cost them a star) is the EXTREMELY small bathroom.... More

Went to grab a burger tonight and it was at best fair. Dissapointed to say the least. All the good places in bcs are starting to cut corners and food quality is reflective of this practice. Store bought patties and frozen French fries makes it no better than Wataburger. Koppe Bridge and Burger Boy please don't change. You are the... More
