Buffburger

Buffburger
Houston, TX
Buff Classic
Butter Lettuce, Vine Tomato, Red Onion, House Pickles, & Buff Mayo on a white bun
$7.95

For one of my weekly trips through Houston, I decided to go to this little chain that I had heard had some good burgers and while my taste buds weren't disappointed, my stomach and wallet most certainly was.
When ordering the burger, I was a little sad that the $8 price for just the basic burger didn't come with fries, but I felt like if it was a mind blowingly good burger, it would be worth it, so I moved on.
When I received the burger, the first thing that I (and you can from the picture) noticed was that the toppings seemed to engulf the burger. The burger itself was really small, yet I had dinosaur sized lettuce and huge slices of tomato on the burger, which just seemed odd to me.
Once I bit into the burger, honestly the ridiculous amounts of toppings were what I could taste the most, but once I removed the toppings, the burger was actually quite good. The meat was very soft and very juicy, and as an added plus it was cooked on a wood burning grill, so it had that distinctive flavor that you can only get from a wood burning grill, and I happen to love that. Only thing I could say, is that there could have been more seasoning on the meat itself.
The bun was very soft and VERY thick, so you had to get through a lot of bread in a bite, which I think kind of subtracts from the overall burger since I am trying to really taste the meat more than the other aspects, but that seems to be the Achilles' heel of this burger in general.



VERDICT: 3 out of 5 Stars.

And so the Chase continues…

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...

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...

Bernie's Burger Bus

Bernie's Burger Bus Bellaire, TX Hot Cheeto Burger 2 3 oz Patties, Bacon, American Cheese, Tabasco Infused Onion Strips on top of Spicy Mac n Cheese Encrusted in Flaming Hot Cheetos with Homemade Hot Sauce $9.99 If you happen to go to Bernie's Burger Bus, the first thing you need to do is ask about their "secret" menu. That's where you will find this bad boy. For some reason, left off the regular menu, even though it could easily be called "The Hot Teacher", the server told me that this was at one point a limited time item, that got such popularity they still serve it. To start off, this burger definitely deserves a 5 for it's creativity. In lieu of buns, they instead grind up hot cheetos into a coat that they form around mac and cheese and voila, you have 2 Hot Cheeto patties with Mac n Cheese in them. That however, does seem to be a bit of the issue for them, the "buns" themselves seem to overtake the whole burger and most b...
