The cheeseburger here is by far the best I have had since i can remember & much better than in any other restaurants in Atlanta or Texarkana. Have a look... I had no idea it would be a big as it was (at least a half- pound). The fries were crispy & generously served. The best part, though, was that the beef was ground fresh for that burger. And, all orders are that way, because 3 people came in after me & ordered them & was told the same thing. "It will take 20-25 minutes for your burger because we grind the meat fresh." IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT. FYI, the restaurant is open 3 days/ week from 11-5 (Tues-Thurs). TBR is a family business (just one woman & her father) that recently reopened after COVID; they had been closed about 1yr. There are approx 12 tables in the restaurant, and there was a constant flow of customers. You order at the counter, and when your order is ready, it is called & you puck it up. If you're a burger fan, then don't miss this gem.
