The Morales Store
About This Spot
Just off the beaten path on TX-111, The Morales Store quietly invites you into a slice of genuine Texas roadside charm. There’s an unpretentious warmth here—a place where the pace slows down and simple pleasures take center stage. Historic signage and well-loved wooden accents greet you from the moment you arrive, setting a tone that’s familiar yet special, as if stepping into a friend’s cherished gathering spot.
This isn’t a flashy hamburger joint, but rather a calm, easygoing nook where locals and travelers alike come together without fuss. The atmosphere hums with low-key energy—conversations rise and fall, laughter occasionally spills over, and the steady rhythm of conversations feels like a comforting backdrop to a satisfying meal.
The act of ordering is refreshingly straightforward, encouraging you to settle in and savor your moment. When the food arrives, it’s clear that no shortcuts were taken. Each burger is a hearty creation, grilled with care and generously topped. Whether you’re drawn to a classic cheeseburger, a double with all the fixings, or a thoughtful veggie variation, the flavors are rooted deeply in tradition and honest craftsmanship. Side dishes like crispy fries and tater tots quietly complete the experience without overshadowing the main event.
There’s a nostalgic pulse here as well, a reminder of simpler days, echoed in the store’s storied walls and the easy camaraderie among guests. It’s a welcoming kind of place where the smiles feel sincere, the service is straightforward, and time seems a little softer around the edges.
For those passing through Edna or seeking a meaningful detour, The Morales Store offers more than just a meal—it provides a moment to pause and appreciate the quieter, honest-hearted side of Texas hospitality.

If ya blink, you’ll miss this unassuming store just outside Edna TX heading west on 111. We absolutely love ‘hole in the wall’ places like this. We had heard the burgers are the real deals with large grilled patties and no skimp on fixins. We were not disappointed at all. Have to say in the last few places we’ve tried, this burger is in top 4. Both of us had cheeseburger, but I added bacon and jalapenos to mine. We shared some tots that were crispy but not over done. The lady behind the counter was very polite and I can tell has one of those personalities that is as big as Texas. Definitely will stop when around again.

Roadside Texas at it's very best! This historic building is filled with marvelous signs and great food. We stopped in for a dinner of Texas goodness and were not disappointed. In fact, we were delighted. We went for the order a bunch and graze sampler option we often try. The pricing here makes that a painless exercise. The Chicken Fried Steak sandwich is one of the best we've ever had. Done on a perfect bun, it is tender and cooked to perfection. The tater tots were heaven. Fried okra was so fresh it felt like they picked it just before we came in. The Patty Melt on Texas toast was a well done standard. And becuase we just like them, we also tried the Frito Pie.... Awesome. The food was so good, the portions so generous and our grazing ordering style so filling, we can't speak for the dessets! Take the time to stop here. Take the time to go out of your way for this Texas treasure. Take the time to read the signs on the walls. Your time will be well spent!

Great motorcycle ride (285 mile round trip) to experience a very delicious bacon cheeseburger, chicken fried steak sandwich, patty melt, fried mushrooms, fried okra, tater tots, and French fries. The store was pretty cool to visit, memories of the old days growing up. Our group really enjoyed the atmosphere plus when paying at the counter, there was a big wooden Indian “Kawliga” available for a photo-op !!!!

Straight up good place. Burger is excellent with great service. They are very fast there's plenty of places to sit inside there's a huge picnic table outside and I think you could even sit on their front porch. They are very trusting you place your order You sit down with self-serve drinks when it's all done you walk up to the counter tell them what drinks you had and then you pay. Love it

Found this gem because of Google maps, stopped in because of the ratings. Was not disappointed! Just passing through, but I'm so glad we gave them a try. Cool little country store. Historic. And people just as you would expect to find in a place like this, down home and as friendly as could be! Really good hamburgers, I enjoyed mine with chili. I sincerely hope I'm passing through again some time. Loved the history of the Morales community!

FANTASTIC Burger! I know of no where else in the area with this level of quality of food and service. Everything was fresh in a very quaint setting. You couldn't find a better place to get a bite while driving around spring time looking at the wild flowers. You pay after you eat so once you order you just pick out what to drink and snack on from the store. I will be coming back again soon.

I’m over the road, Truck Driver for 40+ years today November 6. I had truck issues needed to call the ROAD SERVICE to come give me up. It was right near this location. I’m so glad it happened here the owner. The staff were so friendly and helpful to accommodate my truck while the repair man fix the truck while I’m here. I decide to try the burger OMG, the best burger I’ve had in a very long time. Nice laid-back country style setting never knew this place was here, but I will be back. Thanks to the owner and the entire staff. You guys are amazing.

Enjoyable dining experience - our vintage camper fit right in with the store’s atmosphere. Dining area is clean, staff is friendly, and food is delicious! I recommend the Patty Melt with grilled onions and add jalapeños. French fries were perfectly cooked. My boyfriend had the hamburger with crispy tater tots. We’ll be back!
