Beverage selections include classic fountain sodas, refreshing iced teas, and a variety of canned sodas to wash down your meal.

Stepping inside R J’s is like taking a step back in time; the restaurant operates out of a historic Sinclair gas station building dating back to 1933, adding a nostalgic charm to your dining experience.

Patrons consistently praise R J’s for its “best burger in town” reputation. One loyal visitor shared, “I ordered the bacon cheeseburger with avocado and a side of fries. Expect to wait awhile if it’s busy though, they take their time making these delicious burgers. Can’t wait to go back, cheers!” Another highlighted the difference in cooking style: “Damn good burger! The new thing nowadays is smash burgers, forget that, not here at RJ. Thick and juicy burgers hit the spot and had me full all day!”

While occasional wait times have been noted, true burger enthusiasts deem it a small price to pay for the rich, homemade flavors and quality craftsmanship. Another longtime fan reflected, “I have the bacon cheeseburger. What I'm guessing was a half-pound homemade patty. Was delicious. The building itself is worth stopping. Used to be an old Sinclair gas station built in 1933.”

Whether you’re a local or just passing through on the way home from Corpus Christi, R J’s Hamburgers guarantees a satisfying meal that feeds both the appetite and the soul. For those seeking genuine, no-frills burgers bursting with flavor and an experience steeped in Texan heritage, this spot is a must-visit in Kenedy.
