For Labor Day, I thought I would go into Downtown Houston and try one of the many great burgers that H-Town has to offer. I originally had another place in mind, but upon finding out that it was cash only and I didn't have any cash on me, I had to go to my back up place, and here we. Starting off, their menu has a couple specialty burgers and while the Mushroom Swiss Burger was indicated to be the most popular by the bartender, I opted to go with the Country Fried Bacon Burger, because the country fried bacon seemed to be an interesting topping to try out, and while I was not disappointed, I also wasn't blown away.
The big draw of this burger was the country fried bacon, which had an interesting taste. The breading was good, but it was so much breading that you couldn't really taste the bacon itself, which I am a huge bacon guy, so not being able to taste one of the main parts of the burger was kind of unfortunate.
As far as the onion ring, I honestly can't even tell if that was on there, or if it was just blended in to the taste of the fried bacon.
The other toppings were generic toppings that you would find at any bar & grill on a burger so it would be a waste of time to write anymore about them.
Which brings us to the meat. The 1/2 pound patty was huge and filling, I'm writing this at dinner time and I am in no way shape or form even hungry to eat, so if you are wanting to be full, there is no question that this is a burger for you. However, I wasn't a big fan of it. It had the greasiness that I love in the burger, but upon eating the meat by itself, it didn't taste like it had ANY seasoning, which I would have loved.
For a last note, the bun that they used was actually REALLY good as far as buns go. It was toasted and soaked in a little grease from the grill.

VERDICT: 3 out of 5 Stars.
And so the Chase continues…
