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 (though it they were caramelized onions, I would always add points for that). Arugula was an interesting choice instead of lettuce, but due to the size of the burger, a huge piece of lettuce would probably been too much of the burger. The last ingredient we have is the Sun Dried Tomato Mayo, which I was pleasantly surprised by. I usually am a staunch opponent of mayo in general, but the flavor of this tomato mayo was actually very good.
The meat itself was very juicy with grease which as we all know is my thing, but there didn't seem to be a noticeable amount of seasoning, though I might have sensed some. Overall, I did enjoy the meat they have here.
The last thing about this burger is it is rather small for being an almost $11 burger, but it was worth it. One warning I would have to give before eating this burger is that it must be eaten fast. The mayo and the grease from the burger make the bread soggy very quickly and near the end of the burger it was falling apart, so I don't know if that would be fixed by a bigger bun or what, but it's not the end of the world.




VERDICT: 4 out of 5 Stars.

And so the Chase continues…

Omega Grill

Omega Grill Spring, TX BBQ Burger Farm 44 Meat, BBQ Sauce, Bacon, Cheddar Cheese, & Fried Onions $12.99 For my first review back home, I decided to go to a place that I have always seen but never really tried until now and I am kind of mad at myself for not trying it to begin with. As I was researching this place, I found online that they have an award winning Breakfast Burger and I was very eager to try it as I hadn't really had a breakfast burger on this blog yet, so it was something new, but when I arrived at the place, it turns out that their prices online were wrong and this burger was going to be $17. I frankly just wasn't willing to take a chance that day on something I might not like, so I opted with what the waitress said was their 2nd most popular option, their BBQ burger, and I wasn't let down. First of all, I thought the presentation was great. How they stacked the onion rings and ingredients was super fun and I love it. But let's get ...

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...

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...
