$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…
