Down San Felipe, between Beltway 8 and 610, there's a little burger joint called Southwell's. I had read various online reviews of this place, and after numerous positive reviews we decided it was worth a try.
The storefront is tucked away in a little strip mall. Honestly, if I wasn't looking for it, I would have driven right past it. By the time we got there, the lunch crowd had gone, so it was pretty much empty. We loved the little wooden booths - it gave it one of those "old time joint" feelings. And the fact that most of the customers had seen younger days made me think this was the type of hangout you'd see back in the day.
We ordered a cheeseburger, a grilled chicken sandwich, and, of course, onion rings. We eagerly sat down at a booth a waited for our food. It took longer than I thought it should have for our food to arrive. I mean, how long does it honestly take to grill up some chicken and a beef patty? After what seemed like forever, our food finally came. The cheeseburger was nice and juicy with great flavors. The chicken sandwich was tender and tasty. Both of these were huge. We thoroughly enjoyed the sandwiches.
The onion rings, on the other hand, were only so-so. They were battered, but the ratio to batter and onion was way off. Too much batter for our liking.
Verdict: Fail
But do go here for the burgers, they're great!
