First of all, I hope everyone is doing well during these past few months. Now that MOST food places have opened back up in some capacity, I am trying to get back into the swing of things by bringing you burger content as much I can when I can. While I may not be every week yet, I will try to get you something.
This week, I went to a small cafe that is right next to my house. I stumbled on to this place one morning and they have really kick ass breakfasts and while I was there I saw their big list of specialty burgers and knew I needed to get to try one whenever I could. I was however a bit disappointed in the one I picked. While this was not the "most popular" burger that the server had recommended, it was one that I thought sounded very good at the time, so I may be going back to trying one of their favorite burgers instead.
The main obstacle I couldn't get over with this burger was the meat. It was so charred I could get no flavor from it except "soot". And going with this, the burger was of course dried out. Now this might not have been an issue since there was so many ingredients on it, but I couldn't even taste the Whiskey Steak Sauce. When I opened the burger, I saw they had it on there, but just barely,
The grilled onions and mushrooms were fine. They did provide some much needed flavor to the burger, but not enough to the point where it made it that good. The Swiss Cheese was a fun choice for the burger as I don't think I have had Swiss on a burger in a while, and they cooked the cheese on top of the burger so it was super melty and hot, so that was great. Beyond that, none of the basic toppings really jumped off the page for me.
The bun itself was just a basic bun that you could get anywhere, so there were no way to add points for that. I will say that the burger was a pretty good size and could fill someone up for a meal, so it has a good value for the price.
Overall, I don't want to say that this place is a 3 star burger place, because one of their other burgers could be a hidden gem, I just have to say that the burger I tried this time should probably be looked past in all future orders for one of their more popular ones.



VERDICT: 3 out of 5 Stars.

And so the Chase continues…

    Thank you for the review on Compadres Texas Café. I wanted to touch base with you about the burger. I pulled your ticket and Glenn will get with the cook who was on duty at this time about the meat temp. Compadres burger are grilled and char-broiled, but should not be over cooked unless requested. It should have also had more sauce on it than Shown. I am very sorry and do hope you will return and give our Texas Burger menu another try. Thank you and we look forward to seeing you at Compadres soon. We usually have all our hot sauce line on the tables, and Steak sauce is keep in self serve area in the dinning room. Just ask for it. We have pulled everything from the tables for now. Thank you, From Guin, Glenn and Staff at Compadres.

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...

BurgerFi

BurgerFi The Woodlands, TX Cheeseburger American Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato, Onion, BurgerFi Sauce $7.47 For today, I had the luck of being at BurgerFi's Customer Appreciation Day (which was really just a reopening) and happened to be one of the 50 who got the free burgers for a year, and normally I would be super excited about that, but unfortunately, the burger has me less excited that I have to eat 51 more of them within the next year. To start off, my order was wrong, which I get it was super busy so I'm not going to hold that against them, but I hope that is not a regular thing. Once I did get my correct order and sat down to eat, I was very surprised by how small the burger was. My fiance got a single patty burger and there was no way that was filling. When you have the double patty, it was a little more obviously, but the burgers are VERY hand held. The bun was probably my favorite part of the whole burger. It was thick enough to absorb the liquids on th...

Black Bear Diner

Black Bear Diner Nationwide Parmesan Sourdough Cheeseburger Dijon Mustard, Swiss Cheese, Tomato, & Grilled Onions on Thick-Crust Sourdough Bread grilled golden with a Garlic Parmesan Cheese Crust $10.99 If you have had the fortune of wandering the new Metropark Square in Conroe, you might have noticed this really cool and interesting new place, called the Black Bear Diner, which is COMPLETELY decked out in Bear stuff. My kids loved everything about it. My fiance loved the breakfast plates. I did not take a loving to the burger. As you can see, the burger actually LOOKS incredible. I was super psyched when reading it, and even more so when it came out, so description and appearance are 5/5, but it's when I tasted it was when the issues started. The meat was probably one of the least favorite meat patties I have had since starting this blog. It was bland and even worse it was tough and chewy. It was almost like chewing a piece of rubber. I was shocked, because...
