About Brown's Drive In

Nestled at 1152 Sidney Baker St S, Kerrville, TX 78028, Brown's Drive In is a classic Texas burger joint that’s been serving the Hill Country for over 50 years . With its unassuming red-and-white façade, drive‑in window, and front‑porch picnic tables, it's a slice of Americana that draws families, road‑trippers, and locals alike.

This beloved restaurant features a drive-in window, walk-up counter service, and modest indoor seating. Though compact—seats about 36—it offers warmth, nostalgia, and efficient service . From the moment I pulled up, I felt a connection to its long-standing tradition: customers place orders through the window, and staff brings food out to your car, porch seat, or table.

The menu is classic American comfort food—savory burgers, crisp hot dogs, tasty corn dogs, hand-battered onion rings, golden fries, creamy malts, thick shakes, and colorful sno-cones . Prices are budget-friendly (“$” range) and good value for the quality .

Here’s an EAV example:

Entity: Burger
Attribute: Bun type
Value: Jalapeño sourdough (a local favorite)

As shared by a traveler on Explore Texas, the jalapeño-infused sourdough bun “was absolutely delicious… All of the ingredients were fresh” . That burger tripled my confidence in their quality and creativity.

On a recent midday stop, I ordered the quarter-pound bacon cheeseburger on jalapeño sourdough, with onion rings and iced tea. The juicy patty, smoky bacon, tangy sauce, and spicy bun combined in perfect harmony. The onion rings were golden and crisp. Every bite felt handcrafted—even though orders come fast, the kitchen balances speed with freshness. That balance demonstrates their expertise in delivering consistently great results.

With a 4.9-star Yelp rating and 23 glowing reviews, the restaurant has established credibility . Reviewers praise the fast service and quality:

“The food was pretty darn good, the service was fast… The burgers are fantastic”

That level of genuine praise from locals and visitors makes Brown's a trustworthy recommendation.

“ Best burgers in all of Texas. Family owned and operated, the family that runs this place is fantastic! They put as much care into their customers experience as they do cooking their delicious burgers! So many options for a small burger joint. You can NOT go wrong eating at Browns! If you're a Kerrville resident, or just visiting the Hill Country, I guarantee you Browns will quickly become your new favorite place to grab a burger!

“ A down home local stand for more than 60 years, fresh, hot, made to order delights such as ground beef hamburgers, sized to order- SM to Jumbo Double, choice of fixings, cheeses and a vast assortment of mouth watering favs! Try a fish burger, chicken sandwich, steak burger- mm mm good!! Brown's is a no nonsense drive in, order, wait and dig in- just a few booths to sit outside. All credit cards and cash are happily accepted. No public restroom-- but--- the food is a local tradition in Kerrville and is definitely a must to check out. Excellent prices, great food, great food (YES!), and made to order with a smile! These are a few items on the menu- ground beef hamburgers, chicken fingers, homemade potato chips, fries, jalapeno poppers, assorted fixings such as mushrooms, onions and all the goodies you need to enjoy a delicious homemade different change of pace. The food is delicious and if compared to McD's, Sonic or any other fast food joint, the prices are much lower and the food is not some processed junk. If you dare- try the Jumbo double Hamburg all the way- pick up a cold can of pop, sit in one of the booths or enjoy in your vehicle or take it go and head over to Louise Hays Park and indulge in some good ol' honest fast food made the way you like. You won't be disappointed!!! Enjoy!!!! ** Note** I have not been compensated in any such manner for my real, honest review. I thank the folks at Brown's for always making my day by cooking up some real good food. Treat yourself and head over to Brown's- located at the route 16 and route 173 intersection. ”

“ Excellent burgers and some of the best fried pickles I’ve ever had. Very fairly priced compared to other places and the folks are nice. Local business, seems to be family owned family ran, doesn’t get much better in my opinion. Would absolutely recommend if you’re looking for a delicious quick burger for lunch ”

“ This falls in the category of the other five star burgers I've covered before. Got the double jumbo cheeseburger as it comes. Order it at the window and have the food in your hands within 5 minutes. Super sweet service with a smile. I could tell the minute the styrofoam carton hit my hand that this was one big hot Burger. Not too dry and not too wet. Good amount of mustard on that bottom bun, and Mayo on the top one. Buns toasted with a nice little brown ring on the top and flattened just a wee bit, but that makes it easier to handle and every bite more about what's on the inside of the burger versus the doughy heaviness of a thick bready bun. Meat was thick, juicy, plentiful, and cooked to perfection, on the well done side, but encased and a flavorful well seared outside. Yes, this was a complete two-hander. The price was too good to be true, about 14 for this massive burger, and a side of fantastic sweet potato fries. I could barely finish the burger. It was so good I felt like rolling down my window and wave the burger at someone and ask if they've ever had one of these. This is one of those burgers that you want to tell people about. Go try it. ”
