Emil's Old Fashion Burger — Restaurant in El Campo

this place may not suit all folks with it's full of memories and nostalgia atmosphere. yup, it is old and has some quirks, don't we all. i am 6'5" and have been here enough times to know to watch out for that one low beam. that's just the way it is. i would say emil's is comfortable and serves comfort food in ways you might not have considered.

Came with their 'secret' mustard cream sauce, which we ordered on the side but ate every bit of it! was delicious, very tender, and the side orders were great as well. Schnitzel made with ground pork and bratwurst. Talked with several members of their staff, and all were very friendly and enthusiastic about their restaurant and so appreciative of their customers. Intend to try their home made sauerkraurt...
