Babe’s Old Fashioned Food

Babes, Potranco, fries average, onion rings below average, left checked bag, they forgot to put burgers in bag, had to go back, never go back!

Been to the one on Fredericksburg was good food so decided to try this one out.
Unfortunately our experience was pretty horrible.
Staff was not friendly at all, we’re not attentive and lacked a basic friendly smile.
They forgot one of my child’s meals and during mid drink serving the employee walked off to help another customer I had to flag another employee to finish making my families drinks.
Fries were burned and they forgot specific request for my burger as well as my wife’s.
Overall extremely poor experience will not be back to Babes, have better service and food at Whataburger.

Not impressed. Our wait was longer then others that arrived after us and we only had a salad, wings, fried mushrooms, fries and onion rings. There were 3 tables sitting unbussed for at least 15 minutes. We saw the manager get some food and make his way to the back of the kitchen not even acknowledging that the tables were unbussed. One of the cooks was counting his money in front of all the customers and saying he was going to make it rain very loudly.
My salad was not very tasteful. All the food needed salt it was very tasteless. 32 bucks for 2 people… Not really worth it. I definitely will not return not recommend the restaurant.

I have to say I’m disappointed in this new Babes on Potranco. I like to bring my family a few times a month. Unfortunately this new Potranco location doesn’t offer kids eat free. On top of that we tried to use a online coupon but again I was disappointed because we needed to print out the coupon. We’re a busy family and don’t have time to print a simple coupon out and don’t like to waste paper.

Cheeseburger and fries lunch special was okay (7.50 with drink and fries, so not a bad deal). Nothing more… just okay. I like the two other locations (Huebner and Fredericksburg) way better.
I can honestly say that this location made me cry. Not because of the food or service, but the aroma of onions was SO STRONG that you could even taste it. It literally made my eyes water. I’m not sure if it is always like this, but this definitely was not a pleasant experience with me.

It’s a family friendly atmosphere, a must for me ! The food is awesome and the prices are reasonable. The old fashioned Burgers is what brings me here, the people here are friendly and easy to talk to. I recommend for anyone to come and enjoy an well made burger, you will not regretted!

A bunch of us went & thoroughly enjoyed Babe’s, the relaxed atmosphere makes it great for a diverse group, the food was freshly made and tasted great, the service was upbeat and friendly. The standout favorite amongst the group was the chicken sandwich & everyone liked the fries.

There is nothing sadder than place that has decent food but crappy service. This was our second, and last visit. Not because the food sucks. The food is adequate. But the ladies that take your order are freaking terrible. We had the same lady take our order twice now. No smile. No greeting. Just an «why do you want» attitude.
I want food service, youngster. Why? Because that your job. Try doing it. I know I know. An amazing concept.
This last visit the cooks missed our order of fried mushrooms. Really??? *shakes head*
So we’re done. And we will recommend not to go.

Great burgers! Great fried pickles! Hot fresh fries! When you’re not trying to use a coupon or order a salad at a burger place, don’t come here lol. All those previous reviews were silly. The food is great the place was constantly being cleaned by staff! Fast service! Sorry no pictures because the food is in my belly already !

Came in expecting disappointment from the previous reviewers, but was pleasantly surprised. The staff worked expeditiously and were pleasant. The food was above average for a grilled hamburger. The star was the onion rings which we all enjoyed. Happy to return for a quick beer and burger meal anytime. The Spurs were on the flat screen and winning, so that never hurts.

Been looking forward on trying this place for weeks. Was extremely disappointed. There comercial on TV was misleading food looked homemade, But in REALITY IT ISN’T IT IS FROZEN. I ate a chicken Caesar salad. The chicken was dry and the croutons were burnt and soggy. My husband and one of daughters had the burgers. They came out burnt and dry. The meat was frozen not homemade. The meat reminded me of the patties that you buy in bundle in the frozen section. My other daughter had a cheese pizza and I have to say was the ONLY thing that was good. The restrooms and Dinning area were clean. Jeremy the cashier never smiled and had no Customer Service. I will NEVER GO THERE AGAIN. I’m not kidding when I say by the time we got home we got sick. UPDATE: IT’S 3:27am we are up sick. The health Dept need to pay them a visit ASAP. I regret ever coming to this restaurant.

1^st time and won’t be back.
They do Not honor their coupon for kids eat free M-​T 4−7pm, our food was either burnt or half cooked, the employee’s are rude, the manager has no say on anything (what’s the point of being a manager if you can’t make decisions?). Horrible experience. Eat somewhere else if you can!

New location! I have had a different experience from other reviewers. The service was top notch. The plaza is brand new and perfectly maintained. The landscaping is wonderful. The food is the best! I had the onion ring burger which was reasonably priced. It tasted amazing. I had sweet potato fries and a Pepsi to top it off. Great place!

DISAPOINTING!!! I really like going to the location on Frederickburg and got really excited when they open one on Potranco Rd. The customer service from the so called manager was horrible when we among other people waiting so long for our order started to complain about it taking soooo long. My husband isn’t one to complain but it just took way to long for it not even being busy. We waited 2 weeks after it opeend since we knew it would be a long wait. Like I said he was rude didn’t apologize for the long wait basically the fries where cold when we finally received our burgers. My husband waited patiently for the fresh fries and onion rings while the kids and I ate. By the time he returned to the table his burger was cold
The service was really bad., experienced cooks for the first month of the opening would’ve been the smartest thing to do. NOT GOING BACK WASNT IMPRESSED!

Ummmm. Yeah. We are done. Went again and not only was the wait ABSURD, the food actually sucked.
The fried mushrooms were tasteless, the chicken was exceptionally dry, and our order was wrong… three times.
Sorry. Won’t be returning ever again.

Food was OK, onion rings were thin and straggly and somewhat soggy. Fries weren’t fresh either. The wait in line and the wait for food was longer than it should be. The milk shakes texture was too thin and also sloppily made. I would wait another 6 months, at least, before visiting. The staff is still trying to figure everything out and were very flustered. The one plus was the gentleman constantly cleaning tables and asking if anyone wanted refills.

Bad on every level. Unprofessional staff, floors covered in food and napkins, long wait time, our order came out wrong, and it came out cold. I downloaded Unilocal just to leave this review. Save your money and time and drive down to one of the other locations.

I have been to this location, dirty for a restaurant that just opened recently, food was not bad, it has potential to be one of my burger hit list but I can not tolerate bad service. Seems like the staff needs to be re-​trained. You have a good product going here but you will lose customers because of bad service!

Went to eat on oct 11 around 2015. Placed an order on at 2019. We’ve been patiently waiting and after 30 mins we went to the cooking area to chk on our food but not done yet. we noticed 3 guys who came after us had their food. Talked to associate morada she was apologetic. Then i asked for manager his name jeremy.
Told him the situation and only to find out that the order receipt was thrown to the finished order bucket. He was rude and never apologized. He said it was not only me. He doesn’t know how to talk to
was not busy and there was no wait time or line on that particular nite.

The one who first took our order was fine. She wrote down our order as we asked for it. I ordered the Chicken Fried chicken plate and my daughter ordered a grilled chicken salad with no cheese, bacon or mushrooms. The girl who rang our order up was very rude and inpatient. She didn’t even give me a second to walk over to the register before she was yelling at me demanding money. We received our order and the salad was wrong. It had everything on it that we asked them to leave off. The cook took the salad back and brought it to our table a few minutes later and you could tell he just tried to pick the stuff off but there was still cheese, bacon, and mushrooms in it. I then requested they make a new salad as we had requested it. They did but the service was rude and not customer focused. The food was NOT worth the high price and the service didn’t compensate the price either. I do NOT recommend this place.
