Hungry Dog Diner — Restaurant in Granite Shoals

update

Bobby has fries!

Five stars

update

This is a great little hamburger café with a focus on well - hamburgers.

This is a brand new restaurant, as evident by the "Grand Opening" banner out front, and thus is experiencing some of the delays inherent to this situation:

Hence:

A menu limited to hamburgers, chili, hot dogs and a combination thereof.

Clean but limited seating.

Service and cooking by the owner/operator, Bobby, thus potentially a little slow.

All this being said, the hamburgers are EXCELLENT, as is the chili cheese dog - my wife's favorite.

The ingredients are fresh and excellent, consisting of HEB patties, Nathan's hot dogs, seeded buns and freshly chopped lettuce, tomatoes and onions fresh or grilled to your order.

Bobby informed me consistent breakfast is forthcoming, as is weekend, chef's choice, dinners - per an outdoor sandwich board.

Finally, price point vs portions is superb and competitive to fast-food.

A very good choice for local,...

If you are familiar with the Granite Shoals area you know we are sorely lacking for restaurants. My family was very excited to see a new proprietor take over the location right next to the convenience store where the Happy Cooker used to be, it's called The Hungry Dog Diner. We gave it a few weeks to shake all the new kinks out and went up tonight to grab a burger. It was extremely fresh, made to order and tasted wonderful. Like a backyard grilled burger that you would make for yourself if you wanted to take the time. The owner is very friendly and accommodating and mentioned he will be offering chicken sandwiches soon. Right now it's burgers and hot dogs (chili dogs!) and pulled pork. We will definitely go back and we hope he gets a lot of support....

I ate here once a month ago when I moved here and it was good and I had all intentions of going back. In that time since my 1st visit, I’ve been back 3 additional times way before posted business hours were over and they were CLOSED after driving 20 miles (1-way) from my home outside of Kingsland! I’ve learned the hard way, for most local restaurants around here you should CALL 1st to make sure they’re open if it’s more than 5 minutes from your home. The problem with this place is, they usually don’t bother to answer the phone even when they’re open! This is not only an issue for me, it’s an issue to anyone who’s experienced this here. And it’s one of the best ways to loose customers, by NOT ADHERING to your own posted...
