Citizen's Grill

Citizen's Grill
Conroe, TX
Citizen's Burger
1/2 Brisket, Short Rib, Sirloin Beef Patty with Spinach Red Onion, Tomato topped with Candied Jalapeno Cream Cheese.
$12.00



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…

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...
