Lee Roy's Chicken & Burgers — Restaurant in Edcouch

I live just outside of Elsa so I thought I'd give Lee Roy's Chicken and Burgers a try. The restaurant is located right at the border between Edcouch and Elsa in a strip mall and is easy to miss.

Parking is quick as there is no curb, so parking ones car means just driving in to the parking area.. The building is older, and the entrance is a simple glass door. The exterior like the interior is no nonsense and nondescript. There is plenty of seating inside.

I placed a phone order for two burger combos with a busy young woman and was told it would be ready in 15 minutes. It was.

I have to say the burger is filling. The beef patty appears to be a 1/3 pound and the buns are soft and chewy. It is a large tasty burger reminding me of what we used to get at Whataburger. In my opinion the amount of meat demands more cheese to balance it out, but then that is my preference as some people don't want cheese in their burgers. Aside from that, the combo of this very filling burger and fries along with a drink was reasonably set at the time of this posting at a little over 8 dollars.

I recommend the burgers at Lee Roy's Chicken...

Mom and pop shop at its finest. My First time their i felt like family. Greeting as soon as you enter the door. Lovely staff, great service very attentive. I can't remember the name of the plate but it was a fried to perfection chicken thigh, tender and crispy complimented with a thick hearty burger just dripping with flavor and of course thick cut fries to seal the deal. Sweet tea that was just the cherry on top sweet enough to flirt with a cavity, savory yet border line safe from diabetes if that doesn't sound appetizing my friends you are missing out if you haven't enjoyed some of this home style cooked meal. A full belly, with great service. The prices are fair for the good you are eating. Overall...

If you don't like Lee Roy's, then don't bother slowing down when passing through Edcouch-Elsa, because you surely don't belong. Lee Roy's is as much about celebrating life with friends and neighbors as it is about food. You can pass the time waiting (briefly) for your order by saying "Hello" to everyone you know. I'm a huge fan of the Steakburger, but also Fried Chicken -- but whichever way you go, the meat and fries are always chock full of the 'good stuff' the FDA tries to keep away from kids. If you're on a diet, save Lee Roy's for...
