The Woodson’s

½ Pound Patty, Bacon Jam, Mac & Cheese, Bacon, and Fried Onions on a Brioche Bun

$14.99

For my first review, I opted to go with a place that I was very familiar with the food and already knew some of the menu, and while Woodson’s is a great place for many things, I think I would opt to go for their famous Giant Pretzels rather than their Burger.

The Woodson’s Burger deserves a 5 for creativity for putting such a smorgasbord of things on its burger, but honestly it was TOO much. The conflicting textures and tastes didn’t mesh well and the individual item’s great taste by themselves got lost in the shuffle.

Expanding on that, the Mac and Cheese was great by itself, I could eat a whole plate of the fried onions if one would let me, and the meat was cooked to perfection. BUT once we stacked it all together, it became a mess. This bun of the burger fell apart within the first minute due to the cream of the mac and cheese, mixing with the liquidity of the bacon jam causing it to be almost impossible to eat as a handheld burger and turning into a fork and knife procedure.

This burger weighs in at a whopping 1 pound & 3.5 ounces. When we factor in the fact that the patty itself is a half-pound, which leaves about 11 ounces for the buns and toppings. This burger DEFINETLY gives you a good amount of food for the prices, and can easily be shared between two people and still fill them up.

VERDICT: 3.5 out of 5 Stars.

And so the Chase continues…
