Hut's Hamburgers

Hut's Hamburgers
Austin, Texas
Ritchie Valens Burger
Guacamole, Grated Cheddar, Chopped Tomatoes, Onions, Jalapenos, Mayo & Mustard
$8.50

Over the weekend, I had a mini vacation to the beautiful Austin, Texas and while I was berated with multiple suggestions on where I should go for my next review, I settled on Hut's Hamburgers due to it's unique atmosphere and great sounding reviews online. Needless to say, I was a little underwhelmed.
The menu sports a TON of different variety of burgers and I couldn't pick one so I had the server tell me which were the most popular and went from there. Enter: The Ritchie Valens Burger. The Burger itself had a good mix of toppings and with the Guac, Cheddar, and Jalapenos alone, it sort of felt like it was a burger with a little Mexican kick. With it's spicy kicks due to the guacamole and jalapenos, I felt like the grated cheddar was actually a bad call for this burger. It was just sprinkled on and I felt that it would have made this burger A LOT better if they had in fact gone with a Queso cheese on it.
The meat itself was met with some mixed reviews by both me and my fiance. While the patty was a good size and was juicy, it didn't give off any flavor of seasoning, which could have helped this burger in this instance.
I was not able to get the exact weight of the burger, but if I had to guess, I would say it came in at a little under a pound, which for the price was a reasonable amount of food.
In hindsight, I don't think I would get this exact burger again if I visited, but I definitively would be open to trying a different burger at Hut's to give them another go.


VERDICT: 3 out of 5 Stars.

And so the Chase continues…

Walden War-Tejas Cafe

Tejas Cafe (Mariel's Deli) & (Walden Market) Montgomery, TX Tejas Burger Cheese, Jalapenos, Onions, Cilanto & Chipotle Mayo on a Jalapeno Bun (with Ketchup at Tejas Cafe Walden Market) $7 For this week, I had a friend recommend me a place to go but when looking up the place, I found that there were two of the same name on the same road and when I couldn't get a hold of said friend, I had a very tough decision to make. I either tried one and hoped it was the right one, or I TRY THEM BOTH. I got both, and therefore we have the War on Walden Road between the Two Tejas Cafes. Now both Tejas Cafes are within Shell gast stations on Walden road, one in the Shell that has "Mariel's Deli" and one that has "Walden Market". Before I start, I can tell there is some skepticism, "You want me to eat gas station food?" Trust me, I had THE SAME THOUGHT before I was led to this place, but holy shit was I wrong. THIS PLACE IS GREAT. Ri...

Southwell's Hamburger Grill

Southwell's Hamburger Grill Houston, TX Bacon Cheeseburger Mayo, Mustard, Lettuce, Pickles, Tomatoes, and Onions with American Cheese and Bacon. $6.40 For this week's burger trip, I decided to try out Southwell's Hamburger Grill in Houston, TX. Now I have lived in Houston my whole life and I have never heard about his place (despite it having 4 locations in the Houston area) until I looked through a burger suggestion post on Facebook, and frankly, I probably could have gone the rest of my life without hearing about it. Now before anyone jumps to any super negative conclusions, the burger wasn't "bad". It just was not what I was looking for. The meat was a pretty good size and was pretty juicy but didn't really have any seasoning, the bun seemed to be a typical hamburger bun out of a package, and the cheese seemed to be just a regular old slice of American cheese thrown on at the last parts of the grilling process. I didn't like how...

Boomerjack's

Boomerjack's Dallas, TX Triple B Burger Lettuce, Tomato, Onions, Beef, Bacon, Brisket, topped with onion strings on a Pretzel Roll. $11.99 For 2020, I wanted to start off on a good foot, or rather burger, and I think I could say that I did that. In my trip to Dallas to watch the last Cowboys game of the season, I stopped to eat at a VERY busy sports bar by the stadium that I had been too years ago (and at a buffalo chicken sandwich that was pretty good) with a certain burger in mind, but due to menu changes, I had to settle for this one. As you can tell, there is A LOT of meat on this burger which is always a good thing when you are a carnivore like myself. To start with the basics, the burger was patty was alright. I honestly did not get a good taste of the burger patty in every bite because the brisket took over the flavor of pretty much every bite. However, the patty was very soft and fell apart easily which was great. The brisket to continue from y previous p...
