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…

The Dugout

The Dugout Texarkana, Arkansas Double Header & The Slugger Double Header-2 Grilled Cheese Sandwiches, Bacon, Cheddar Cheese, Single Patty The Slugger-Single with Cheddar Cheese, Grilled Pineapple, Bang Bang Sauce, served on a White Bun $8.99 (Double Header), $6.29 (The Slugger) Over the past few weeks, I have been very busy with work and then on vacation road tripping to Nashville, Tennessee. So naturally on this road trip I had to get some burgers, and I decided to get multiple burgers at each stop to make up for all the weeks that I missed. The first burger I tried was the Double Header. In the easiest way to describe it, this was a burger patty smashed between 2 grilled cheese sandwiches. Now this doesn't seem like the most creative burger in the world, but it was FUN burger. And it was REALLY good. The Dugout is a hidden gem in Texarkana, their burgers are great! Now while I would love to give this burger a lot of points, I have to take into consideratio...

The Kitchen

The Kitchen The Woodlands, TX Cowboy Burger White Cheddar, Yellow Cheddar, Avocado, Bacon, Mixed Greens, Jalapenos, Onions, Tomatoes, Dill Pickles, Akaushi Wagyu on a Brioche Bun $13.50 For this week, I kept it very local and went to an establishment that was right across the street from my work. Going into it, I honestly didn't know what to expect because I had seen very good reviews on Facebook, but no one I personally knew had been to it so it was a bit of an enigma, and let me tell you, Facebook hit right on the money. The burger itself SOUNDS a lot bigger than it is. Don't get me wrong, it's no small burger, but just from the list of ingredients it sounds like it was going to be big, instead it was just tall. When looking at what all is on this burger, it's already got to get points for creativity. There's like a whole party of ingredients going on here The first thing I noticed was the patty. Not only do they melt their cheeses on to the p...

Lord's Kitchen

Lord's Kitchen San Antonio, TX 1/2 lb Cheeseburger Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato, Pickle, Onion $10.25 I usually love my trips out of town because I get to go to a burger place that I don't have access to on a daily basis within my local area, but instead I was left with a severe feeling of disappointment on my drive home after eating a burger from the Lord's Kitchen. I opted to go with a regular cheeseburger because I wanted a full meal of fries and a drink and looking back now, I should maybe have gotten a specialty burger instead. The toppings that came on this burger were all the average things that you would expect from a burger place and it didn't taste like they were high quality, now they did not taste like they were of bad quality, just an average kind of taste. The meat, which I feel like should be the thing that you should take pride on, was bland. It honestly tasted to me like a burger that one may find at a drive thru like Burger King or Wend...
