Sitting right in between Conroe and Magnolia sits the Citizen's Grill, which I would describe as a more upscale version of Applebee's on my first impression, but after trying the burger, I found that it was so much more, it was actually a very good restaurant.
The burger selection is very limited here (two), but the difference between the two is good enough to get a mention. Their signature burger carries an interesting collage of toppings, but somehow it works for them.
The forefront of this burger and as you can see by the picture, their focal point, is the Candied Jalapeno Cream Cheese. This was a very fresh and new choice for me on my burgers and going into it, I thought that this would be an amazing choice, and I was PRETTY MUCH correct. The taste and spice was great on this and I was thoroughly enjoying most of my bites that had this on it. The only complaint that I had about this cream cheese was that it was REALLY slathered on. It was almost as if they were forcing it down my throat in ever bite, don't get me wrong, it was great flavored, but I would have preferred it in modesty.
The tomato and onion were basic, honestly maybe a little to thickly sliced for my liking, but the spinach leaves were an interesting choice instead of the usual shredded or sliced iceberg lettuce that 90% of burgers have on them, so I really enjoyed the change up they threw here.
The next thing we have to talk about on this burger is the meat, which was AMAZING. The meat patty here is a blend of brisket, short rib, and beef patty and it was just great. It was soft and fell apart when eating and was retained all the grease and juices from when it was cook so it wasn't dry in the slightest. I honestly thing this may have been one of my favorite type of patties that I have had since I have started this and I wish more places would have patties like this. Now to be fair, I do think this kinda tips the spectrum a little as I am supposed to be looking into burgers that are just beef patties, but what are you gonna do?
The burger is very large making it a lot of bang for your buck, I couldn't even finish it and had to immediately take what I had left up to my fiance's work so she could try it. All in all, I don't think anyone could be disappointed with this burger overall.

VERDICT: 4 out of 5 Stars.
And so the Chase continues…
