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 and it was dry in almost all of the bites, and in some bites it was cold. On top of that, it tasted very bland meaning that they of course, didn't use any kind of seasoning and it was probably of not good quality.
I do have to say that the one good thing this burger did have going for it was the sourdough bread. The bread was very soft and flavorful and you could tell that they toasted it on the grill with the grease and juices which made me at one point, ditch the burger and just eat the bread by itself.
So long story short, it you're going out for a drink and you happen to go buy here, buy just some bread to eat.



VERDICT: 1.5 out of 5 Stars.

And so the Chase continues…

Walden War-Tejas Cafe

Tejas Cafe (Mariel's Deli) & (Walden Market) Montgomery, TX Tejas Burger Cheese, Jalapenos, Onions, Cilanto & Chipotle Mayo on a Jalapeno Bun (with Ketchup at Tejas Cafe Walden Market) $7 For this week, I had a friend recommend me a place to go but when looking up the place, I found that there were two of the same name on the same road and when I couldn't get a hold of said friend, I had a very tough decision to make. I either tried one and hoped it was the right one, or I TRY THEM BOTH. I got both, and therefore we have the War on Walden Road between the Two Tejas Cafes. Now both Tejas Cafes are within Shell gast stations on Walden road, one in the Shell that has "Mariel's Deli" and one that has "Walden Market". Before I start, I can tell there is some skepticism, "You want me to eat gas station food?" Trust me, I had THE SAME THOUGHT before I was led to this place, but holy shit was I wrong. THIS PLACE IS GREAT. Ri...

Southwell's Hamburger Grill

Southwell's Hamburger Grill Houston, TX Bacon Cheeseburger Mayo, Mustard, Lettuce, Pickles, Tomatoes, and Onions with American Cheese and Bacon. $6.40 For this week's burger trip, I decided to try out Southwell's Hamburger Grill in Houston, TX. Now I have lived in Houston my whole life and I have never heard about his place (despite it having 4 locations in the Houston area) until I looked through a burger suggestion post on Facebook, and frankly, I probably could have gone the rest of my life without hearing about it. Now before anyone jumps to any super negative conclusions, the burger wasn't "bad". It just was not what I was looking for. The meat was a pretty good size and was pretty juicy but didn't really have any seasoning, the bun seemed to be a typical hamburger bun out of a package, and the cheese seemed to be just a regular old slice of American cheese thrown on at the last parts of the grilling process. I didn't like how...

Bernie's Burger Bus

Bernie's Burger Bus Bellaire, TX Hot Cheeto Burger 2 3 oz Patties, Bacon, American Cheese, Tabasco Infused Onion Strips on top of Spicy Mac n Cheese Encrusted in Flaming Hot Cheetos with Homemade Hot Sauce $9.99 If you happen to go to Bernie's Burger Bus, the first thing you need to do is ask about their "secret" menu. That's where you will find this bad boy. For some reason, left off the regular menu, even though it could easily be called "The Hot Teacher", the server told me that this was at one point a limited time item, that got such popularity they still serve it. To start off, this burger definitely deserves a 5 for it's creativity. In lieu of buns, they instead grind up hot cheetos into a coat that they form around mac and cheese and voila, you have 2 Hot Cheeto patties with Mac n Cheese in them. That however, does seem to be a bit of the issue for them, the "buns" themselves seem to overtake the whole burger and most b...
