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...

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...

Lord's Kitchen

Lord's Kitchen San Antonio, TX 1/2 lb Cheeseburger Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato, Pickle, Onion $10.25 I usually love my trips out of town because I get to go to a burger place that I don't have access to on a daily basis within my local area, but instead I was left with a severe feeling of disappointment on my drive home after eating a burger from the Lord's Kitchen. I opted to go with a regular cheeseburger because I wanted a full meal of fries and a drink and looking back now, I should maybe have gotten a specialty burger instead. The toppings that came on this burger were all the average things that you would expect from a burger place and it didn't taste like they were high quality, now they did not taste like they were of bad quality, just an average kind of taste. The meat, which I feel like should be the thing that you should take pride on, was bland. It honestly tasted to me like a burger that one may find at a drive thru like Burger King or Wend...
