Lemme talk to you a minute. When I pulled up, I wasn't even sure this was a restaurant. I went into a very sparsely decorated building, and was immediately met and greeting by the friendly folks there, and one of 'em asked me if I'd like to try the Gorilla Burger. I thought "sounds good, but I don't really need 3 beef patties on a burger tonight". He suggested the Monkey burger instead - a two patty burger with all the toppings. I settled on that and decided to get one of those delicious looking baked desserts to supplement the difference. I chilled with a Sugar Free Lemonade for about 10 mins when the counter man loaded up the area with my food. Paid up and went to pick up that plate (closed clamshell Styrofoam- you know the kind) and I wasn't prepared for the weight of it! It smelled so good already, and I plopped myself down to get busy. When I opened that plate, I could scarcely believe my eyes. This burger was a masterpiece of grilled meat, cheese and fresh lettuce, tomatoes and pickles and onions. Some assembly required! By the time I married the meat/cheese side to the fresh toppings side, I knew I would have to make some careful calculations to get my mouth around that thing, but I knew I'd find a way. And it was worth it...every bit of it. I was sure I wouldn't eat the whole thing, but I couldn't stop. It was mouthwatering! Cooked to perfection and all the flavors just worked together like magic. And these weren't just burger meat patties. They had flavor! Juicy, seasoned-to-perfection FLAVOR! And the fries! Excellent seasoning there too-not your basic salt 'em up. Yeah. Imma be back. I didn't name the dessert 'cause that will have to wait for a while so I don't know whatbit tastes like yet. But I know I'm looking forward to it when I feel like I can eat again! Come see 'em. You don't need a fancy building to get one heck of a burger! Just look at them pics!
The food is Great! If you looking for that good ole soul food taste that ya granny had, this is the spot. You will not be disappointed. The staff is AMAZING!!!!! Very welcoming. If I ever come back to Arkansas, I'll be stopping by for sure.
Felt very welcome with our peer recovery specialist group during our lunch break quick service great atmosphere. And the food was fire.
Amazing good food. Me and my fellows had some business close by this place. From outside you could not believe how delicious meals this place offers. High recommendation if you want good lunch, like home made.
Talk about hidden gems. I work all over the state and I eat at a lot of places. This is easy top 10 and it will 100% be a place I visit when working out by College Station. Everything is made to order. I got the catfish dinner. It was fresh, hot and cooked perfectly. They had real seasoned fries not that wanna be stuff you get everywhere else. The slaw was expertly blended and balanced. That’s gotta be grandma’s recipe, I feel like it is. The service was wonderful and they checked in several times to make sure I was happy with it. They were very friendly. There are two larger areas one for the every day dinning and one for large parties. Pandora is playing setting the atmosphere to a relaxed and chill environment. They also take call in orders. I highly recommend YE Paul’s and I will definitely be going back.
Phenomenal food! Being from out of town and just looking for something local to eat, I can't believe I lucked into picking here. The owner, Ruth, is so nice as well, and now I'm thinking I might have to keep going back until I've tried the whole menu!
You feeling hungry? You like BIG, hand-pattied burgers? Come on out & get that food fix. It's a great local spot, owned & operated by good folks with genuine ties to the community. Oh - and if you're up to the challenge - the Gorilla Burger is waiting.
Awesome food and super friendly.
