Austin, TX

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…

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...

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...
