My favorite burger in town. I know we have several really good burger places, but I absolutely LOVE Harvey Washbanger's.

They did great business, so hopefully they will rebuild.

Great place for when your washer goes out and you're waiting on a part to arrive. I've been there just for the burgers too.

No one was there when it happened so no one is hurt. Praying for the owners, managers, and staff.

Was planning on going and taking some overzised items to get washed, and pickup a burger while I was at it.

Extreme bummer. Remember going there back when it was Mazzio's.

We go pretty often, last time a few weeks ago. My wife used to work there when she was in grad school on the laundry side.

Any news on the businesses next door (as far as damage to them too)?

I've been impressed with the owners of some of the surrounding buildings. HEB brought water to the firefighters, Stella (not a neighbor but clearly invested in Harvey Washbangers considering it's the same owner) brought coffee and breakfast sandwiches, and the owner of Clean Eats packed up lunches to take over to the firefighters and people still at Harvey Washbangers. It's encouraging to see and I'm hopeful the community will rally around the Lair family as they deal with the aftermath. They are good people who are always there for others. I love seeing others be there for them.

"There's another business right next to Harvey Washbangers called [GameStop]," said Marrs. "We put up a water barrier right there, a big fan of water to make sure that we kept the fire and the heat off of the buildings that are next to Harvey Washbangers. There may be some smoke damage or a little bit of water damage to that business, but we don't see that there's any fire in the other buildings."

Calling it a total loss is almost seems like an understatement.

Sounds like a phenomenal job by CSFD by keeping it from spreading to Game Exchange and the other businesses in the building.

Stella's Southern Cafe, not the hotel.

So sad. A unique place that I really loved.

Lots of memories from this place and it's predecessor Mazzio's Pizza. Lots of after game/season parties there as a kid and so many great burgers/trivia/times as an adult.

Prayers for the Lair family and hope that they can rebuild!

Both places were owned by the same family.

Oh no!!
I was just describing Washbangers to some folks on a business trip.
Doing laundry in the hotel and I was wishing I had a Shiner while watching my lamps.
