Craft Grill

Craft Grill
Tomball, TX
Gruene Burger
Chipotle Sauce, Roasted Jalapeno Pepper Strips, House-Made Salsa Verde, & Monterrey Jack Cheese on a Challah Bun
$12



I have to give the Craft Grill a lot of credit, they have an extremely large variety of tasty sounding burgers! I spent probably around 10 minutes trying to decide and then second guessing myself on which burger I would want to eat, and eventually just had one of the staff pick for me when they said that this burger was one of their newer and more frequently ordered. And honestly, I wasn't disappointed.
The main theme of this burger is HOT. This burger is spicy because of the Chipotle sauce and the Roasted Jalapeno Pepper Strips which I have to say were probably the 2 best parts of this burger. Not only were they hot, but that packed a good amount of flavor and freshness along with the heat. Moving on to the rest of the supporting cast of the burger, you can clearly see the Monterrey Jack cheese that was melted on and as always, I am willing to give points for when someone melts a great cheese choice onto the burger, so no issues there. The burger states that it comes with a Salsa Verde and you can even see that it has it on there from the picture, but honestly I didn't taste it in the slightest. I think that the spiciness from the jalapenos & the Chipotle sauce completely overpowered the Salsa Verde and it was basically like it wasn't even on there.
The meat patty was great! It was very soft and it fell apart in my mouth which was nice (and was SUPER HOT because I went in there when it was a bit slower). but for real, the meat was great, I definitely would like to go back to Craft Grill to try a different burger because I know I will like the patty.
On the negative I have to say, I did not like the bun. The bun was very light and had a lot of air in it making it basically no bread at all, which if I'm getting a burger, I'm sorry I want my bun to be tasty AND filling.
The size of the burger is also to be desired. Maybe I have just been spoiled by some of these bigger burgers that I have had in the last few weeks, but I found myself wanting a little more after finishing it, and especially if I am paying $12 which I consider a little closer to the top of my price scale, I want to get my money's worth.
All in all, this burger hit a lot on my checklist and is worth checking out, but it's not a real contender for the Top 10.





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...

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...

Black Bear Diner

Black Bear Diner Nationwide Parmesan Sourdough Cheeseburger Dijon Mustard, Swiss Cheese, Tomato, & Grilled Onions on Thick-Crust Sourdough Bread grilled golden with a Garlic Parmesan Cheese Crust $10.99 If you have had the fortune of wandering the new Metropark Square in Conroe, you might have noticed this really cool and interesting new place, called the Black Bear Diner, which is COMPLETELY decked out in Bear stuff. My kids loved everything about it. My fiance loved the breakfast plates. I did not take a loving to the burger. As you can see, the burger actually LOOKS incredible. I was super psyched when reading it, and even more so when it came out, so description and appearance are 5/5, but it's when I tasted it was when the issues started. The meat was probably one of the least favorite meat patties I have had since starting this blog. It was bland and even worse it was tough and chewy. It was almost like chewing a piece of rubber. I was shocked, because...
