"In an area that has a burger
joint on almost every corner, coming up with a new concept or a
'better burger' seems impossible. This challenge was
taken on by Bob Sfalos in 2000 when he had a vision of his own
burger joint.
'I was in real eastate for 30
years and owned this 
property the restaurant is in now. I
leased it out to several people using it for restaurant space,
and no one made it out here, ' Sfalos said. 'Finally, one
day, I told my wife I was going to open a hamburger joint here.
Her reply was, "Are you crazy?"' And the begining
of Bobby J's Old Fashion Hamburgers was born.
The process began to make the best
burger. Sfalos and his wife ate in every burger joint around.
They narrowed their favorites down to three and then started
coming up with ways to improve on those burgers.
Sfalos boasts about his different
style of burger. When asked by customers what seasonings he puts
on the delectable fare, he simply replies, 'salt and
pepper.' He claims the great taste comes from the way he and
his staff prepare the burgers, and that this technique is what
sets them apart from the competition's offerings.
'The way we prepare the
burgers is a secret, just like my chili, a secret,' Sfalos
said. Now that dish really is a secret, and not even his
employees know exactly what magical mix of ingredients goes into
Bobby J's Chili. In fact, Sfalos comes in early in the
morning while no one is around to mix his famous concoction.
It's a spicy, true Texas chili.
Along with the food, Bobby J's
offers a relaxing and nice setting to enjoy your meal with front
and back outdoor seating as well as plenty of room inside. The
outdoor pavilion is large enough for gatherings and boasts a
great view of the Texas Hill Country. There are three seating
areas inside, one a new addition Sfalos himself constructed. The
decor is welcoming, with old license plates hanging on the wall,
country pictures, old fashioned washboards, metal ceilings and
cozy tables.
'I want to make everyone feel
like they are at home eating a meal. I want a customer's
experience to be a pleasant one with an old country feeling place
and friendly service, ' Sfalos said."
