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 with the bread, it itself was nothing special, just a regular hamburger bun, so easy to write off at first glance, but once you got into the inside of the burger is where the magic happens.
As you can see right of the back, the toppings are piled high on this burger. They try to cram everything on the burger and I tried to cram it all in my mouth. The bacon and crispy onion strings were SO crunchy yet retained all the flavor they needed to be a great complement to the burger. The grilled jalapenos (from the bites that didn't have too much sauce) were extremely hot which is always nice to get a little kick from the burger. Lastly, the cheese which was a smoked gouda, was a very good choice for the burger and even though I couldn't really taste it in a lot of bites due to everything else that was going on, it was good in the bites that I did have it.
The meat was super juicy and had great flavoring, this was probably one of my favorite burger patties of the year so far and I can't wait to go back and get another one.
On the negative side, I was not too big of a fan of the RBT BBQ sauce. It was very sweet and on the bites that had the jalapenos, the sweetness was so overpowering that I didn't even taste any spice, which no one wants that if they are getting a burger with jalapenos.
Overall, this burger is great and is a must try for everyone who lives within a short driving distance!
