Pappa's BBQ

Pappa's BBQ Nationwide Hamburger Lettuce, Tomato, Onion $9.95 After seeing a good amount of posts about how good the burgers were here and literally driving by it everyday on my way to work, I decided to stop in and see what it was all about. Usually, when I go to a BBQ place, I tend to stick to their BBQ, and while that may change in the future for some BBQ joints, it will remain the same for this one. Starting off, they don't have much variety going on (which is to be expected at a place that doesn't specialize in burgers) offering a basic hamburger, a cheeseburger, or a bacon cheeseburger. Seeing as how I didn't want to be distracted from the meat, I opted with the hamburger. But not having interesting options alone is going to hurt the score. The burger was HUGE. As I write this a couple hours later, I can still feel it sitting in my stomach. You are without a doubt getting a big portion for your money (though for the price, I wouldn't expect

Red Brick Tavern

Red Brick Tavern Conroe, TX Honky-Tonk Burger Topped with Applewood Smoked Bacon, RBT BBQ Sauce, Smoked Gouda Cheese, Grilled Jalapenos, and Crispy Onion Strings $12.50 The next time you find yourself fighting a case at the Montgomery County Courthouse in downtown Conroe, or if you just happen to be in the area, there is a quaint little place that I recommend EVERYONE try out. Personally, I never knew this place existed before happening upon it in a comment on a post for good burgers in the area and upon walking in, I was a little skeptic because it just seemed like a tiny little bar to watch live musicians, but I couldn't have been more wrong. While you definitely can not fit 100 people in the place, you could eat 100 burgers there and never get tired. They had a pretty good selection of burgers and while I was leaning towards trying the one that seemed very Hawaiian, the server let me know that this was by far their most popular and for good reason. To start

The Draft Sports Bar and Grill

The Draft Sports Bar and Grill Magnolia, TX Double Porky Burger Bacon, Smoked Pork, Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato, Onion $13 As I returned to my old stomping grounds of FM 1488, I decided to hit a small sports bar that was relatively new called "The Draft". I had always seen very interesting advertisements on Facebook for their crawfish specials (which my fiance loves), but I had never gone to try their food until now, and while I wasn't disappointed, I also don't think I was missing much. The Draft boasts 3 different craft burgers, and while all of them I am sure are good in different ways, the option of having some smoked pork on the burger caught my eyes as one of my Top 10 burgers has pork on it, so I was hoping to hit 2 for 2. The smoked pork was actually VERY good, it probably was my favorite part of the burger but it was in no way as good as Tewbelaux's pork that they put on their burger. The bacon that was on the burger was crispy and was ful

BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse

BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse Nationwide Bistro Burger Applewood Smoked Bacon, Goat Cheese Crumbles, Caramelized Onions, Tomatoes, Spinach, Pickled Red Onions, Roasted Garlic Aioli $13.75 While I really do try to not hit chains (and I feel I have been hitting them more and more lately), I am really glad that I went to this particular chain. BJ's may be more known for a place to go get some good craft beers, but for me, it is now known for a place to get a truly amazing burger! BJ's surprisingly has a pretty good selection of burgers, the server tempted me to select this one, which honestly I might have been more leaning towards anyway just due to the sheer amount of different things it had on it. To put this burger simply, there was a shit ton of flavor explosions happening in my mouth almost to which I didn't know what to give the "good" credit to. But first off, we all know that having Caramelized Onions makes ALMOST any burger better a

The Stadium Bar & Grill

The Stadium Bar & Grill Spring, TX Signature Burger Lettuce, Tomato, Pickles, & Onion. $7.99 Went back to basics this week with a burger that had no frills and no thrills and I am sad to report that it didn't have much of anything going on at all. The Stadium in my opinion is more of a place that you want to go to if you want to drink and NOT eat, which is how I know of it, as a popular drinking spot for me years ago but I decided to try them out since they had redone their food menu, and settled on their "Signature Burger". The lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles were the basic toppings that you could find anywhere and therefore was not much to speak about, but hey at least they weren't dried out or anything so I can't fault them there. The issues on this burger were mainly with the meat. The meat was very thick which is most instances would be good, except that when they cooked it, they did not cook it how thick meat should be cook a
