No this place is north of the bridge. It is not Minnow Bucket. It is about a mile before the 4 way stop on the left. I think it used to be Lunkers. It's good!

Everyone needs to do their part to keep this place in business. They make their own buns, hand make the patties (12 and 16 oz.), real fries, and real cheese. It would be hard to find a better place. It is a throw back to the times when they made a hamburger on a cast iron grill including browning the buns.

I ate there during the McDonald's Big Bass Splash and their burgers were great. It is north of the 154 Bridge about a mile on the left. If they are open the next trip, I'll stop again.

All I can say is that Lake Fork still misses the Hardware Hamburger...nothing out there rivals what we had when Coy was waitin tables at the Hardware Store on 154.

Big O Burger is unreal. It is worth the drive. No atmosphere, no beer, some TV. But the burger is great and I've never had one with homemade buns (even at home). Best burger I've ever had, and I've had a few in my 65 years.

Rainswood Marina is pretty amazing, too, I love their burgers. Haven't been out to Fork in a while, though. Might have to try Big O too.

I dont know which one makes a better one. Right now its a coin toss, but Big O Burger is great for sure. Give 'em a try if you are on that side of the lake thumb

Yes sir the Hardware Store had one of a kind burgers sure do miss them. Big O is good but no as good as Hardware Burgers.

Where is Rains Creek Marina (or maybe it's Rainwood Marina)? I was told it's on the North West Arm of the Lake...my Fork map didn't show it.

Lake Fork Creek arm (west side). Rainswood Marina is on the NW corner of the 2946 bridge. That's the bridge W of the 515W bridge. Last creek before you get to the bridge will be Birch and it will be on your right.

It's on 2946. If you drive north from 515, it's just on the left after the second, longer bridge.

We tried Big O burger Wensday -- yeah!!!! its worth trailering over for lunch -- really good burger. This burger is large, not a doubled up meat paddy. Hand cut fries. Send them business so they stay open.

Looks like they opened a third in Longview on Gilmer Road / FM300. It's north of Wal-Mart where a BBQ joint was.
