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 to why we are really here, the taste.
The meat itself was FANTASTIC. At Omega Grill they really pride themselves on their Farm 44 meat, and I loved it. It was very tender, flavorful and juicy. I honestly would love if I could find more places with that meat. The bacon was so-so. Not that it wasn't good or anything, it just wasn't crispy enough for my liking, instead being very chewy. The cheese as you can see from the picture, was super melty on it which has always been a big hit for me so they got it right there. The fried onions were nice and crunchy, but to be honest I couldn't hardly taste them because of what might be the biggest (and only) flaw of this burger.
The BBQ sauce. I get that it's a BBQ burger, but this burger was so nuked in BBQ sauce that it really overpowered the taste in most of my bites. Successful BBQ burgers are able to find that right balance, and for some reason, this burger on this day did not have it. The BBQ sauce was so overly done that the bun fell apart before the end of the burger, which I hated because I liked the bun (more on that in a moment). This would be the only thing I would really like to change on this.
I was given a couple bun choice and went with the Jalapeno bun, because the waitress said it was a popular option, and I can see why. It's not often that I find many jalapeno buns that actually have a spicy kick to them, BUT THIS BAD BOY DID. I found myself actually needing my glass of water after some of the bites, and it was soft and had great flavor, truly a great bun.
As you can probably tell from the picture, this burger is on the big side making it's value for $12.99 quite reasonable, and I didn't even eat dinner after having this as a late lunch (comes with fries too). So if you are near the Spring/Woodlands area and looking for a great burger, get in here to get this guy!
