For this week's edition of the burger blog, I went to the I-45 Diner in Spring, TX which is a pretty interesting review depending on who you ask.
To start off, I would like to say that this place has a VERY extensive menu, it has breakfast, lunch, snacks, dessert, pretty much anything you can think of. And while I got a burger, my fiance got a breakfast plate that was so good and filling that I am heavily considering making it one of my regular breakfast spots, but as far as burgers, I don't think i will be making this one of my regular burger spots.
The first downside of this burger is (if you can tell from the picture) the bun. This is one of those buns that at filled with air, so it was kind of a downer. Moving downward you can see A LOT of BBQ sauce, like this burger is drenched in it, which is a great thing if you like BBQ sauce, but for me it takes away from the overall flavor of the burger which I am looking for. The cheese was seriously thrown on right before they brought it out to me to while I like melted on cheese this wasn't going to cut it for me. The grilled onions were great, but it's really hard to go wrong with grilled onions, like you can only mess them up if you don't grill them. The bacon was flavorful (which I expect no less from a place specializing in breakfast) but not crispy enough for my liking, but that's a personal preference. The meat was an average patty. Was juicy enough to not be dry, but didn't seem like it was seasoned at all so it was kind of just there.
The last thing I will say about this burger is that it was incredibly overpriced for the size. As you can tell by the picture, it wasn't a huge burger on my travels I have found other burgers that provided either better taste or MORE for the same price, so I can't really justify the value of this burger.
Overall, while this burger isn't "bad", it by no means isn't cracking my Top 10.

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