The burgers here were great. You can tell the difference between their wagyu beef and other burger patties from local burger joints. We got an All American and a Breakfast All Day. Both were delicious and the fries/tots were good too. The peach cobbler and sweet tea is tasty as well. Additionally, the staff were friendly and the facilities were clean. Price wise, we got all that for $37, so it’s not breaking the bank. Will definitely be back to try some other menu options.
Food was good. I enjoyed the atmosphere. We ate outside and enjoyed the evening. I would come back. Texas egg roll is cream cheese with brisket and jalapeños. I can eat two and be full. They are delicious !!
High quality good BBQ here! The flavors were rich and smoky, little pepper heavy, little too fatty for the moist option (so I’ll go leaner next time) - but meat was tender, and the portions were very generous. Everything felt freshly made, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. Definitely a spot I’d come back to again while passing through!

Lean brisket head very flavorful bark ,sausage is very good with good snap and flavor. Poppers are available as a side with just the right amount of heat. Potato salad looks store made, can’t wait to come back.
Decent first time visit to Half Acre. Ate lunch a little after 1 pm. Sausage was meh - I wish they would have sliced it but it was served whole- but the turkey was better. Very moist, not too salty. Mac and cheese was OK as well. Next time I want to get there early enough to try the brisket and ribs.
