It's all in the name. 🍔😉 Top of the Hill - Greasy Burgers is on the outskirts of Bryan, sitting at the top of a hill along Old San Antonio Road (what used to be El Camino Real)...and they serve incredibly delicious greasy burgers.

Retha Valero opened Top of the Hill in 2002. It was originally a gas station/grocery store, but Retha saw people coming back for the greasy burgers they served up. So that's what they focused on.

Now, people from around the world have visited Top of The Hill to enjoy their burgers. There's over 22 different burgers on the menu, along with dessert (think peach cobbler and banana pudding.)

Here's a few to choose from:
🍔 Mesquite Burger — mesquite seasoning, grilled onions, BBQ, pickles
🍔 Breakfast Burger — bacon cheeseburger with a fried egg
🍔 Super Hulk — 6 meat burger with bacon, cheese, and grilled jalapeños
🍔 BBQ Bacon Cheddar Ranch Burger

It's truly a family-owned restaurant — Almost everyone who works here is related to Retha in some way. Retha's often at the restaurant, too, cooking up delicious greasy burgers. Stop by sometime and say "Howdy!" 🤠

Have you visited the Brazos Valley Veterans Memorial? 🇺🇸 This 1.6 mile trail will lead you on a walk through each of our nation's major wars from 1776 to present, complete with life-sized bronze statues by artist J. Payne Lara.

The 12-acre memorial site is a truly impactful tribute. One of its key components is the Louis L. Adam Memorial Plaza & Wall of Honor, which commemorates more than 6,600 living and deceased veterans from all periods of U.S. History.

It's an ideal place to spend time honoring our nation's veterans and fallen heroes, especially on days like today. 🇺🇸
