Cheeseburger

Natural Black Angus Beef Patty, American Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato, Special Sauce

$2.85

During a trip to Austin, I decided to stop by an Austin exclusive burger stand chain that I was told by a coworker was a pretty good place, and while my wallet thanked me for the least expensive meal of the trip, my stomach did not.

The burger was very small (which one might expect for not even breaking $3), but it was not very filling as far as meals go, now of course once you add in the fries and milkshake it was good, but burger wise, very small.

The meat tasted like basic fast food meat and wouldn't blow any minds in the burger community so it was hard to see what was the big draw of the place. The secret sauce is a combination of mild Russian dressing and american cheese melted together, which I wouldn't say was "bad" but it was so slathered on that the sauce overpowered everything else so I was just tasting the sauce most of the time. The toppings were basic fast food toppings, so nothing to really write about on that front and then the burger was actually super hard so it just added to the unpleasantness of the burger overall.
Lastly, it's hard to give really any points for creativity, as their menu is very scarce, in honesty the only thing they put on that would any different than any burger joint is the above mentioned sauce.
Bottom line, if you are going to Austin, pay a little extra and go to a sit down restaurant that can give you a good burger.

VERDICT: 2 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...

Black Bear Diner

Black Bear Diner Nationwide Parmesan Sourdough Cheeseburger Dijon Mustard, Swiss Cheese, Tomato, & Grilled Onions on Thick-Crust Sourdough Bread grilled golden with a Garlic Parmesan Cheese Crust $10.99 If you have had the fortune of wandering the new Metropark Square in Conroe, you might have noticed this really cool and interesting new place, called the Black Bear Diner, which is COMPLETELY decked out in Bear stuff. My kids loved everything about it. My fiance loved the breakfast plates. I did not take a loving to the burger. As you can see, the burger actually LOOKS incredible. I was super psyched when reading it, and even more so when it came out, so description and appearance are 5/5, but it's when I tasted it was when the issues started. The meat was probably one of the least favorite meat patties I have had since starting this blog. It was bland and even worse it was tough and chewy. It was almost like chewing a piece of rubber. I was shocked, because...

Uncle Tony's Burgers

Uncle Tony's Burgers Spring, TX Rattlesnake Cheeseburger Angus Beef mixed with Special Spicy Pork Sausage, Diced Onions, Chopped Jalapenos on Jalapeno Cheddar Sourdough Bun with Lettuce, Onions, Pickles, Tomato, & Muenster Cheese $12.50 As if I didn't already have my fill of spicy burgers in the past few weeks, I decided to hit it out of the park with another delectably tasty spicy burger from Uncle Tony's. Uncle Tony's Burgers claim to fame is their specialty Rattlesnake Cheeseburgers (which if you didn't read in the description) is a burger patty mixed with spicy pork sausage (hot), diced onions, & chopped jalapenos (more hot) in which they slap in between a jalapeno cheddar bun (just in case you wanted more hot). This is such a great idea and great burger for those who are fans of spiciness and should be tried immediately. As far as a breakdown of said burger, we should start with it's main attraction, the meat. The meat is so fla...
