Joelene’s McAllen in Texas

"I had the fried chicken, waffle fries, brussels sprouts, and pork rinds. The sauces they included were incredibly well-matched for this meal... sprouts done perfectly as well. Chicken was super tender and juicy. I will be back to try the smashburger and other menu items, loved it here."

"Jolene's has a good menu and I felt that the prices were really great. Their chicken sandwich didn't disappoint and we enjoyed the pimento cheese with crackers. The Brussels sprouts were on point and roasted exactly as they should be. Overall I enjoyed it and will be returning!"

"I tried this place yesterday at the Mercado district and the food was so gooooood! It has been a long time since I had a burger that good!! Will def be going back the food was a huge amount for a super good price. You literally cannot beat it"

"The smash burger was very good one of the best I’ve had. The Mac was good tooo but next time going for the waffle fries"

"Joelene’s is in the Mercado district in McAllen which is like a miniature mall with tiny adorable bazaar-type shops and a really nice food court. It’s very clean, cute and new and all the restaurants are a really good quality. There are tvs everywhere with music. Perfect bustling atmosphere which was great for lunch and that’s when we went here. You order and they text you when it’s ready. We got the fried spare ribs, fried chicken platter and the smash burger. Everything was so delicious and excellent and couldn’t have tasted much better."

"My friend Leo recommend this place since I was craving smash burgers, so I tried it out. The burger was great a little to salty for my taste, but meat was juicy and crispy. The fries were waffle fries and they tasted a lot better then chick-fil-a. They seam more homemade and natural, very good. The place was great there was seating and can walk off the fullness once your done."

"The Smash Burger is massive. I had it with waffle fries. The burger was served so hot, I could not pick it up. It comes with pickles and onions on the side. The fries come with an Utah style fry sauce. I am on a burger quest in RVG and this one is the top of the list. This is a food court with shared tables. The other restaurants looked really interesting. Next time!"

"Adrian (the chef) was featured in Texas monthly for his outstanding smashburger....he along with Frank and David did and outstanding job. The smash burger was DELICIOUS I highly recommend the Brussel sprouts... My cousin Bob got the fried chicken which I didn't take a picture of but.... He was nice enough to cut me off of you so I taste it in it was exceedingly moist, crispy and delicious."
