Blue Noonday Store

Really great example of a properly cooked smashed old fashioned burger. Very tasty charred thin patty (1/3 lb each) served on a toasted bun. A real value starting at $4. Counter service was prompt, albeit not the friendliest, and burgers we're ready very quickly. Very clean store with the exception of the men's restroom which was a disaster.

After several recommendations by neighbors we finally decided to try the burgers at Noonday Store. What a treat! Hamburgers and cheeseburgers made the way you want and taste the way they're supposed to. Although they're basically the same, there's a subtle but pleasant difference from all the franchise burgers. It could be because they don't use any "special sauce", but we think it's the freshness of the meat - they grind and make the patties themselves. Whatever it is, we rated these burgers the best in Tyler.

I have no idea how this place has been rated so highly! We stopped here to eat after a 2 hour drive from Dallas. First off, staff was not friendly when we ordered. We as in myself,husband,my inlaws. The meat had been sitting out at room temp. The lady taking the order was smoking a cig. Gross!! She wasn't the only one...the woman handling the food wasn't wearing gloves, after putting her cig out she grabbed a handful of frozen chicken tenders (my daughters meal)and tossed them in the fryer. My father in law asked for a side of ranch and ketchup and she barked "that's .60 cents." He's 74... While waiting for our food on the bench table out front I happened to look through the window into the store and there's a ton of empty cig boxes,trash,dust and God knows what between the glass and the counter. I'm surprised no one's called the health department!
