Kincaid’s Hamburgers — Restaurant in Fort Worth

I have been by here many times yet never stopped in. Today I gave it a shot, even after hearing very mediocre personal reviews.

The decor is very old-school and simple. The choice of green for the walls is interesting but bland. Those walls are decorated with ‘vintage’ product advertisements that provide a little something to peruse. The layout is a giant, undivided room with long, long tables covered in picnic red and white checker plastic.

The menu is simple and done in an old style as well. Point of note is that absolutely everything is a la carte. One interesting thing is the person taking the oder wrote directly upside down on a paper sack (see pics) with pre-filled menu options. Unique touch.

They do have some old faves such as Frito Pie, chili, chicken bowls, hot and corn dogs, BLT, and grilled cheese. I do have to say, you have to respect them for selling my absolute favorite Blue Bell brand ice cream!

I went with the Texas Firecracker (includes bacon, jalapeño cream cheese, and habanero honey) and crinkle fries. I was wary of the cream cheese but interested in what kind of kick the habanero brings. My hunger level wasn’t high, so I went with the Jr size (1/4 lb). See the pictures, yep this thing is tiny. The cream cheese is indeed messy and a little overdone and the habanero didn’t really elevate any kind of heat. The crinkle fries, unfortunately were right out of a frozen sack and did not come with any seasoning of any kind. This combo barely satiated my admittedly meager appetite.

The music playing is an eclectic blend of classic old country, I mean Bob Wills and Keith Whitley type stuff.

While I won’t say that I disliked anything because it was palatable, this place brings nothing of interest and, man is it expensive for what you get. My tiny cheeseburger, crinkle fries, and water was just under $14. I didn’t even add anything to the burger, think about a soda, shake or dessert and it was this much. There are far too many other enticing places to visit for taste and you will probably spend less. Turns out my...

I love kincaids always have, the service I recieves was abysmal. I walked in and no one greeted me, fine whatever. There were 3 people hanging out at the cashier/order take area that never looked up from their conversation with each other. The cashier never made any indications that she was ready to take my order until I asked her if I could order. This process took about 5 minutes. Then the cashier couldn't open the drawer to get my change, all the while not talking to me and laughing with her buddy while what I assume was the manager stood by and watched. The manager then mentioned something to the cashier about using someone else's numbers IN FRONT OF A CUSTOMER! Still not bothering to acknowledge my existence. Then on top of that the cashier wouldn't give my order to the line because she had not taken my name yet, so I gave it to her....3 times and she STILL did not write it down. I saw may 6 employees there and maybe 2 at any given time doing any actual work, so I waited 20 minutes for my food to find out it had been sitting on the counter getting cold because it had no name. Then the manager desided to send a regular employee to hand it to me. Fortunately that employee had the ONLY customer service in the...

Crispy fries besides a hearty burger are a classic combo, especially when it's paired with a smooth shake. Kincaid's was a delight from start to finish. When you first walk in, no, when you're first pulling up to the parking lot, you can tell by the look of the inside that it's already very cozy with the aesthetic it's going for. It felt very comfortable to walk in, very welcoming as well. The menu was the first thing that I noticed, with it being much more limited compared to something like a fast-food chain. All for the better, too! Rather than being bombarded with choice, it felt a lot more natural to order what Kincaid's was known for: it's Burgers. The sides like Fried Okra, Onion Rings, and everything else really added the only variety that it needed. However, I settled for the basic fries and a chocolate shake and was thoroughly pleased!

I highly recommend this family-owned business when it comes to a reasonably priced burger or even a fun night out, even if I was skeptical of the à la carte style it presented at first. It's never too busy, and the wait time is never too long for food that good. I might even come back around to try more of the signature burgers...
