Cream Burger

Cream Burger Houston, TX Cheeseburger American Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato, Onion, Pickles $4.10 Nestled in the burbs of 3rd Ward, is what I can say it a pretty good hidden gym of Houston in Cream Burger. When you pull up, it may not look like much, but if you are wanting a good burger on a budget, this is the place for you. As you can tell by the burger I have, the main problem I have with this place is that there is no creativity, which I hate that I have to take off for it, but it is what it is. They are focusing their craft on just churning out these basic burgers with good flavor and they do so. As we go into the burger you can tell the bun is just a generic hamburger bun, no points there. The lettuce, tomato, and onions are just run of the mill veggie toppings so that's that. But then we get to the meat and cheese. The meat patty is HUGE & GREASY, which was awesome. I loved the patty despite the lack of seasoning, and would love to eat it again. The cheese

BurgerFi

BurgerFi The Woodlands, TX Cheeseburger American Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato, Onion, BurgerFi Sauce $7.47 For today, I had the luck of being at BurgerFi's Customer Appreciation Day (which was really just a reopening) and happened to be one of the 50 who got the free burgers for a year, and normally I would be super excited about that, but unfortunately, the burger has me less excited that I have to eat 51 more of them within the next year. To start off, my order was wrong, which I get it was super busy so I'm not going to hold that against them, but I hope that is not a regular thing. Once I did get my correct order and sat down to eat, I was very surprised by how small the burger was. My fiance got a single patty burger and there was no way that was filling. When you have the double patty, it was a little more obviously, but the burgers are VERY hand held. The bun was probably my favorite part of the whole burger. It was thick enough to absorb the liquids on th

Mia's Table

Mia's Table The Woodlands, TX Patty Melt Pepper Jack Cheese, Caramelized Onions, Jaime's Secret Sauce on Texas Toast $12.49 This week we tried out Mia's Table in the Woodlands (though they have 2 other locations in the Houston area) and was pleasantly surprised. Mia's Table doesn't have a crazy amount of burger options, but the employee at the counter said a lot of people get the Patty Melt, and while I enjoy a good one, that's what I ended up going with. I'm going to start with the negatives, because honestly if these 2 things had been fixed, this might have been a 4.5. The first thing that I wasn't crazy about was the Jaime's Secret Sauce, which is a combination of Louisiana Hot Sauce, Mayonnaise, Dijon Mustard, Salt, & Pepper but to me, the Dijon Mustard was REALLY strong in it and it kind of threw off the whole taste of the burger for me. The other thing really killed it for this burger was the caramelized onions. Anyone w

Twin Peaks

Twin Peaks The Woodlands, TX Avocado Smash Burger Swiss, House Made Avocado Smash, Red Onions, Tomato, Arugula, Sun Dried Tomato Mayo $10.49 This week I went to Twin Peaks whose motto is "Eats, Drinks, Scenic Views." and while I can't speak to the last two things of the motto, I can assure everyone who reads this blog, they got the Eats covered. To start with, Twin Peaks uses an egg bun which honestly is my favorite type of bun and it was so good. I probably could have done with more (and we'll get to that later) but it was great. Working out way down we get to the avocado smash which is a mixture of avocado, bacon, and other various ingredients but even without completely dissecting it, it was incredible.the swiss cheese was basic swiss cheese but it was a welcome ingredient to add the cheese factor to the burger. Red Onions & Tomatoes are basic things you would find on the burger so there's nothing really to deduct or add points there (thoug
