Grub Burger Bar

Grub Burger Bar
Nationwide
Lockhart Legend
Applewood Smoked Bacon, Cheddar Cheese, Dr. Pepper BBQ Sauce, 2 Hand-Battered Onion Rings, & Sliced Dill Pickles
$8.99




I got this burger because as soon as I saw the "Dr. Pepper BBQ Sauce" my mind snapped back to the #1 burger that I have found on my hunt (Snuffers) and thought that Grub may have recreated that sauce and it may have a similar taste. While I was wrong on that, I wasn't disappointed.
Starting with the sauce, the sauce was good and it MIGHT have had a certain Dr. Pepper flavor, I couldn't really tell very much, but it was NOWHERE near as good as the other Dr. Pepper sauce that I had. But let me reiterate, it was still a fine sauce and was great on the burger.
The bacon was good, it was a bit thick but since it had a lot of flavor, it balanced out the thickness that I am usually unaccustomed to. I honestly could not taste the cheddar cheese at all. I think cheddar is always the best call in a BBQ style burger, but I just didn't even know it was on there for half of the burger.
The last unique topping we will talk about it actually the one I was not a fan of. The Onion Rings. Now I love a good onion ring as an appetizer and it sounds like a good topping on a burger, but for this particular burger, I was not a fan. These onion rings are GIANT. And once again, these onion rings would be great as a stand alone but as you can see from the picture, it made the burger so tall that it was tough to eat getting everything in one bite. I think a better touch would have been to have some crispy onion strings.
The meat itself was very good, but I expect no less from a big burger chain, they should have worked out any kinks in their top products if they are supplying them nationwide. The meat was juicy and soft and had a good amount of flavor, making it one of my more favorite meats in the past few weeks if not months.
The burger as I mentioned earlier is very TALL. It's a lot of food crammed on to what feels like a little bun. The bun holds up well and had great flavor, but I did have to remove one of the onion rings to make it a comfortable eat.
All in all, this was a very good burger and I would have it again if I go back to Grub, this time with one of the awesome milkshakes.



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...

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...

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...
