Bo's Spud Burger - Farmers Branch

Enjoyed our visit to Bo 's Spuds Burgers on Valley View near Josey Ln. last weekend and want to share the good things happening there. 5 star food quality, value friendliness. Minus a star off for atmosphere, but suspect that will be improved soon. The baked potato I had, the Ranch Potato, was delicious and creative, unlike any potato I 've had before and better than Jason 's Deli. Boyfriend loved his hamburger but was not a big fan of the breaded fries...which I thought were awesome and he still finished off. To bread or not to bread. ; If you haven 't been lately, give the new owners a try. It 's classic case of new owners who recently purchased a failing restaurant. Their son moved from New York to help with upgrading the food and revitalizing the energy. He 's made tremendous strides improving creativity of the menu and elevating food quality. Ask about his special 'secret ' sauce. He clearly loves the art and science of cooking and will happily share with you his future plans and experiments. The atmosphere still needs work. It 's definitely hole-in-the-wall with a Frankenstein of flooring, fixtures decor. If you want a nicer view, get take-out and drive a couple blocks to Gussie Field Watterworth Park. They have a couple of TVs so you won 't miss out on sports or your favorite show. And, if you 're into gaming, they 'll even set one TV on a gamers channel.

Mediocre food at best. Had a bunless burger with the fixings on the side lettuce, tomato and onion. The burger is super thin (like the frozen kind in a box available at any grocery store) and the fixings were meager. There are MUCH better places to go for tastier, higher quality food at the same or even lower price. The HUGE problem I had with this place is that it's dirty. After ordering, we sat down and I really took the time to look around. Nothing here looks like it's been cleaned in some time. I won't be back.

When we arrived I was pretty skeptical but I'm willing to try something new every now and then. There were no customers on a Friday night at 6:30. One kind of awkward looking man walked in right before so there were just the three of us. There was one staff who was the cashier as well as the cook. He was quiet but friendly enough. Definitely a hole in the wall but the food is pretty good. Hubby had a chili cheese burger. The chili came on the side which he liked because it wasn't as messy. Fries were really good. Very crunchy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside. I had the ranch potato. It was good. The potato was fresh and fluffy and had real bacon bits. I like a lot stuff on mine and usually have to ask for a little more cheese or chives, but this came with a good amount. If you don't like a lot you'll have to tell him to go easy on the toppings. Overall we liked it. Not sure if we'll rush back but it's a go-to place for something different. Several more families and customers showed up while we were eating. The cashier/cook kept up with both jobs. (He may be the owner?? I didn't see a menu posted so I've added one.

Bo's Spuds and Burgers is one of the few places I'd take my clients in farmers branch. I really enjoy the time they spent on the decoration and it really reminds me of the hardworking mentality of the city and the workers in the restaurant themselves. The menu has a mixture of Korean and American influenced foods such as bugolgi, burgers and frito pies. I find the burgers much better than the surrounding fast food of course. I like getting the cheeseburger with fries.

Yikes. We came in at 6:30 on a Friday. No music. No people. Cook and hostess sitting in dining area watching TV. We ordered a cheesesteak sandwich and a old fashioned baked potato. Cheesesteak dripped grease impressively. Potato tased old. All topping were processed: margarine, bacon bits (for real the old teeth breaking kind), dried chives from a spice jar, grocery store shredded cheese. Could not finish it. Maybe the burgers are better. Maybe it was a anomaly place looks really cool. Like it had a fun past. But current situation was disappointing.
