Guest Reviews
Great burger. It was our first time here. We didn’t know what to expect. Definitely a bar with a bar vibe. Lots of younger folks having a nice time. You order food and drinks at the bar. Us two older folks ordered beers, burgers and tots. You pay at the bar upon ordering. They accept cash and credit card and support tap to pay. You’re given an order number tent to place on your table. The food took about 10 minutes to make and was delivered to our table. The food was served hot. The Tater tots were lightly seasoned with pepper and maybe some salt. Ketchup bottles and napkins were on the table. The burgers were great! Definitely no lean ground beef. The patties are made smash-burger style. Flattish and crispy. Our cheeseburgers had 2 patties, I think 2 slices of American cheese, pickles and ketchup. Mustard is also put on them but we asked for it to be left off. I was told they cook the burgers in mustard. I found that interesting, though I picked up no mustard taste. While the music wasn’t loud, there was a speaker pointed at nearly every table. We chose a round table near the bar as there was no speaker there. All in all, though not our vibe per se, we enjoyed Gustos and will be back for burgers again.
Let me start by saying this is now in my top 3 best smash burgers I've ever had, I tried the traditional double smash burger and the backyard burger. Of the two I enjoyed the traditional burger the most because of it simplicity yet still having the ability to capture all the flavor notes I was hoping for I would come back just to have that burger again. The poppers were very good they are legit backyard grill style poppers with fresh jalapeños and served up with HONEY BUTTER, I don't know what mad genius made this pairing of flavors but my God does it work so well. The tater tots were a great crisp on the outside while being ideal softness on the inside. So overall I think this is a must try burger joint for anyone that's got that craving for one of the best burgers you could bless your taste buds with.
This burger bar has honestly become a staple of my life. I loved Gustos when it was a food truck and am so happy to see them continue to thrive here in Fort Worth. Great burgers, chicken sandwiches, tots, beer, music, vibes. My ONLY feedback (as a dark beer lover) is that it would be rad if there was a can / bottle of founders or hop fusion as an option. And i know people will tell me thats seasonal, but dark beer is a year round season in my household haha.
Gustos Burger Bar + More delivers exactly what a great smash-burger restaurant should: bold flavor, perfect sear, quality ingredients, and a fun, casual bar atmosphere that makes the entire experience even better. The burgers here are easily among the top smash burgers in the DFW metroplex – juicy, blanketed crispy-edged, and layered with big, satisfying flavor. The sides deserve just as much praise. The tots are crispy, seasoned well, and addictive, and the loaded fries are the kind you order “to share” but end up keeping for yourself. Paired with a cold drink from the bar, everything hits exactly the way comfort food should. If you’re craving a high-quality smash burger with great sides and a laid-back bar vibe, Gustos Burger Bar + More is absolutely worth the stop. Highly recommended.
Gusto had been on my places to try for a good while. Finally went and I'm so disappointed I hadn't gone sooner! Got the backyard burger as sliders, Gustos tots, and a soda. The tots are a MUST, seasoned and topped with cheese, caramelized onions and gusto sauce, ugghhhh so good. The burger, everything about it was phenomenal!!! Crispy but juicy, slathered in toppings, messy and worth every bite. The decor and music are different. Not the esthetic I anticipated, but not bad. Only thing I would knock is that the establishment as a whole was a little dirty. Tables, floors, bench cushions, bathrooms, everything felt and looked dirty. Maybe its part of the odd esthetic? Maybe it was dirty? Who knows. But the food was bomb.
Stopped by doing ArtsGoggle and it was PACKED, but that didn't stop Gustos from slinging out burgers left and right. I expected a much longer wait, considering the line was out the door. Great service and great smash burgers. The meat was crispy and not at all dry. I loved the seasoning they put on the fries. Also the patio was dog friendly! What a plus.
I always have this spiel about how everyone can make a good burger but so few people make a great one. Well, Gusto's, you are now one of the few great ones in my mind. The beef was smoky and beefy and tasted totally unique. Most burgers, I forget in a few days. This one, I can still remember the flavor weeks later. I got the Double Gusto and my husband got the Double Cheeseburger. Side of tots (deep fried yummm), side of fries. The fries were okay but I admit I ended up liking the tots so much more that I went back and ordered a side for myself... that they didn't even charge me for because they wanted me to be happy with my order. Nice. Ambiance was bustling, laid back, and fun. We sat for 3 hours chatting with another couple, ordered beers at the bar periodically, met one of the owners. Everyone was super friendly. Can't wait to go back. I am anxious to try the chicken nuggs/sandwich next.
