Buffalo Run

Buffalo Run
Spring, TX
Lone Star Burger
Lettuce, Tomato, Onion, Pickles, Pepper Jack Cheese, Bacon, Fresh Jalapenos, on a Sourdough Jalapeno Bun
$10.99


*I apologize for the late post, I was in Dallas for the weekend so I didn't get to post at my regular times. On the plus side, there will be some yummy Dallas based burgers coming up in the next couple weeks so keep an eye out!

 This week I decided to keep it local and try a new(er) place that I have heard GREAT things about their crawfish, but not so much on the rest of their food and while I was not disappointed, I also wasn't totally blown away.
While Buffalo Run has many different burgers on their menu, the Lone Star because it was starred as a favorite so it made the most sense to try. Starting off, I think it had TOO much going on. All burgers came with the LTOP unless asked not to, but for this burger I think it would have been much better if they didn't put that on that burger to begin with because it just doesn't mesh well with all the other things the burger has going on.
It looks like this burger was trying to go for a spicy aspect, and I don't know why, but it just didn't do it for me. The jalapenos were a little spicy, but that, the pepper jack cheese, & jalapeno bun just didn't kick me in the way that I think it was intended.
That being said, flavor wise, the cheese tasted great and was melted on the burger just right, the bun was soft yet sturdy, and the jalapenos were fresh just as the menu states.
The bacon was a little bit of a mixed bag for me because while it was flavorful, it was very chewy which while it's a preference, I hate chewy bacon.
The meat itself was awesome. My fiance had a regular cheeseburger and I tried some of hers, and sure enough, the meat on both burgers was cooked great, was juicy, and was a great size, so while this burger may not have been what I thought it would be, the cheeseburger is definitely a worthwhile trip on Mondays when they have their $5 burger special.
One thing I would like to circle back around to on this burger is the spiciness aspect, I think (and my fiance & roommate who both tried this burger as well) this burger would be served very well if there was some sort of spicy sauce on the burger as well such as a Jalapeno Ranch or a Spicy BBQ, something to kick it up a notch. Otherwise this burger was very well done, and it was a pretty good size, I ate it at 1 with only a half order of fries wasn't hungry until like 9 so you will leave full if you get the burger with a full side of fries!




VERDICT: 3.5 out of 5 Stars.

And so the Chase continues…

The Dugout

The Dugout Texarkana, Arkansas Double Header & The Slugger Double Header-2 Grilled Cheese Sandwiches, Bacon, Cheddar Cheese, Single Patty The Slugger-Single with Cheddar Cheese, Grilled Pineapple, Bang Bang Sauce, served on a White Bun $8.99 (Double Header), $6.29 (The Slugger) Over the past few weeks, I have been very busy with work and then on vacation road tripping to Nashville, Tennessee. So naturally on this road trip I had to get some burgers, and I decided to get multiple burgers at each stop to make up for all the weeks that I missed. The first burger I tried was the Double Header. In the easiest way to describe it, this was a burger patty smashed between 2 grilled cheese sandwiches. Now this doesn't seem like the most creative burger in the world, but it was FUN burger. And it was REALLY good. The Dugout is a hidden gem in Texarkana, their burgers are great! Now while I would love to give this burger a lot of points, I have to take into consideratio...

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...
