me and my guy friend wanted to go and try this place out.. since neither of us has ever had a burger there and have heard good things about it. Man I wish I knew how horrible the construction around there is!! Blanco was closed off and we had to find a way around it. I got frustrated and told him we should just go somewhere else! then coming back home was a hassle too, because I guess a few entrances onto I10 are closed so we were stuck on feeder road traffic for a while too. man I am so disappointed :( when is that construction going to end and is Chris Madrid's even open? I really didn't know how to get to it! :cry

It's hurting that whole area right now, but it's there and it's worth it.

the way we went.. was I-10 East, exit Fresno, turn Left on W. Hildebrand and a Right on Blanco.. BUT.. the road was closed off and we could not make a right on Blanco. sooo... do you mean keep going straight on Hildebrand and turn right further up and maybe go around? we kind of tried that and hit more road blocks lol. it just got really frustrating.. maybe we will try some other time!

It is absolutely worth it. Chris Madrid's Cheddar Cheezy is easily the best burger I've had in my life.

overrated....a thin tasteless patty.....too much cheddar...which doesn't belong on a burger anyways....and they top it with enough veggies to make a salad. no thanks. give me the western 1/2 burger from bobby j's any time over that POS madrid's bullshit.

Yep..it's still open. I went there last Thursday. You can hit it off San Pedro (go west on Hollywood) without getting in the construction.

Anyway, it was recomended to me and it was pretty damn good.

last tme i went there it was a major pain in the ass to get to it too... i ended up parking in a neighborhood and just walking. took about 45 minutes total... but those burgers are worth it. 2 days worth of calories though.

If you are in the area of Hildebrand/I10, turn west on Hild, go to Fredericksburg, turn right, go a few blocks to the Tip Top. Definitely one of the better burgers in town, beef is ground fresh daily.

That's run by a different group. The people that ran Little Hipps opened Timbo's near Pearl Stables on Ave B. Timbo's even has all of the old Little Hipps decorations and the waitstaff wears Little Hipps T-shirts.

I loved Little Hipps. Thanks for the heads up on the new place. It's definitely on my To Do list.
