Detour - Kaufman

We have been looking forward to trying this place for a while now. It looks like an old school drive up. It does look a bit run down. But looks clean. Our server was very friendly and helpful as we explained it was our first time. We placed an order for two burgers with cheese: a Detour with cheddar and one with no pickles, no onions, no Detour sauce add pepper jack and a root beer float. Service was very quick.However, we were sadly disappointed with our burgers when we opened them up. The regular Detour with cheddar had just one old, old shriveled piece of lettuce, two pieces of cut ring red onions and was so hastily thrown together that it was a mess. Plus the bottom of the bun was so wet with grease and , I guess, juice. it was useless trying to use it to hold onto my burger. It got trashed along with the shriveled piece of lettuce. Second burger was hastily thrown together, as well, but no soggy bottom. But was, also, very greasy burger. The float was not the best I have ever had. It was one small scoop of ice cream with lots root beer. Eh, we will skip this place from now on. Better burgers just down the street. It's really not that hard to make a good burger and a nice presentation with it. Just not worth coming back. Too many other good options around town.

Best burgers I ever had! I’d go more often if I could but I live 2hrs away ?

This is not a modern drive in like they claim. Their only technology is a young lady running around with a wireless POS device. No means to catch a car hop's attention than honking your horn. Sonic typically runs a 5 person crew. When I was there, it took their three person crew 20 minutes to bring a sweet tea with so much sugar I will have diabetes by midnight. You can get the same experience from a Burger Box as you do this place for food quality. I was really hoping for a great small town experience. Nope. Maybe their ice cream is their saving grace. I was so put off by their lack of care to the customer that I will never know.

Burgers and ice cream are fantastic. The fries leave a bit to be desired. They were hot but in no way crisp and lacked seasoning even though advertised as black pepper and sea salt seasoned. I will definitely be back for the Burgers as the Detour Burger was put together just they way I think a burger should be. The ice cream is delicious but super rich so be ready for the real deal. Finally the sweet tea is majorly sweet even for this southern style tea drinker.
