Hat Creek Burger Company

If you’ve got kids who can’t sit still through a meal, this place basically solves that problem. Hat Creek Burger Company in Temple has an outdoor play area with slides that keeps younger kids and school-agers busy while you actually eat your burger in peace. The covered seating is a lifesaver on hot Texas afternoons — and it does get hot. It’s a legit burger joint first, but the fact that you can watch your kids burn off energy while you eat makes it a go-to for families around here.
