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...

Bar Louie

Bar Louie The Woodlands, TX Bourbon BBQ Burger House-made Bourbon BBQ Sauce, White Cheddar, Cream Cheese, Applewood Smoked Bacon, Crispy Onion Strings $12.50 While I do try my hardest to avoid the national chains in order to give more recognition to the mom and pop burger places out here trying to gain the success of the chains, I have to say, I was pretty blown off my feet by Bar Louie's Bourbon BBQ Burger. (Say that 5 times fast) The most interesting thing about this burger (and one thing I sadly had to dock them a little bit for) was the cream cheese. Cream Cheese on a burger tasted VERY good, I liked it for the first few bites, but then I kept hitting secret pockets of Cream Cheese that in some bites, that was all I was tasting. In moderation, this is an amazing topping to have on a BBQ burger. As we flip to the other cheese on the burger, we had white cheddar. White Cheddar is an excellent choice for a BBQ flavored burger, and while it was melted on to the...

The Kitchen

The Kitchen The Woodlands, TX Cowboy Burger White Cheddar, Yellow Cheddar, Avocado, Bacon, Mixed Greens, Jalapenos, Onions, Tomatoes, Dill Pickles, Akaushi Wagyu on a Brioche Bun $13.50 For this week, I kept it very local and went to an establishment that was right across the street from my work. Going into it, I honestly didn't know what to expect because I had seen very good reviews on Facebook, but no one I personally knew had been to it so it was a bit of an enigma, and let me tell you, Facebook hit right on the money. The burger itself SOUNDS a lot bigger than it is. Don't get me wrong, it's no small burger, but just from the list of ingredients it sounds like it was going to be big, instead it was just tall. When looking at what all is on this burger, it's already got to get points for creativity. There's like a whole party of ingredients going on here The first thing I noticed was the patty. Not only do they melt their cheeses on to the p...
