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 who knows me, knows that I am a HUGE fan of caramelized onions and I will almost always order a burger that has them given the choice, but here they made a grave error in basically not having them featured. Firstly, they used very small diced onions which would be hard to pick the flavor up in anyway, but then they put a very small helping of them, and then doused them in the secret sauce. I basically had forgotten the onions were there most of the time as the sauce took over most of the flavor of this burger.
Besides these two points, this burger was INCREDIBLE and even with the score I gave it, I would definitely recommend everyone to try it for themselves. The toast was very thick and held up against the liquidity of the combined sauce, grease, and cheese making it very easy to eat. The meat was very greasy and flavorful which was awesome, and the pepper jack cheese was melted perfectly onto the burger that I was able to get a good amount of cheese in every bite. Finally, this burger is one of the more filling burgers that I have had in recent weeks and I didn't even need to eat for the rest of the day because of how big it was, great burger, great value.

VERDICT: 3.5 out of 5 Stars.
And so the Chase continues…
