Fuddrucker's Nationwide Bourbon Burger Sweet Bourbon Sauce, Smokehouse Bacon, Bourbon Caramelized Onions, Blue Cheese. $7.99 For this week, I thought I would bounce back from the bad burger with a place that since childhood, I always loved burgers from, but this time I thought I would get one of their signature burgers, which I have to say was met with mixed reviews. So before we start, I love Fuddruckers, and I think their regular burgers are probably on par with some places' signature and creative burgers, but when Fuddruckers tries to get creative, that seems to be where things start to go wrong. Sometimes, less is better. The bread (which is the same as a regular burger) is soft and tastes fresh, so there is no negative issues there. The meat (which is also the same as a regular burger) is very flavorful and while it doesn't seem to have much seasoning on it, it is still a great meat. So now, we deviate from the regular burger and it goes down hill...

3B's Burger & Beer Spring, TX The Bill Burger Grilled Onions, Jalapenos, Cheese, Pickles & BBQ Sauce on Jalapeno Bun. $10.39 Bouncing back from last week's great burger, we have without beating around the bush, a not so great burger. 3B's is actually a place that has been around for awhile, I remember eating there once when I was in high school, and never back, but didn't quite no why, but I feel I do now. Starting with the positive, the burger is quite big, so you will get full, but for $10.39 WITHOUT fries, if the burger wasn't big or good, I would be irate. The grilled onions are actually the best part of the burger, they were cooked very well and honestly I didn't even mind that they piled so many of them on because they distracted me from the rest of the burger. And for the negative, it's pretty much everything else. The jalapenos were stuffed so far on that every bite that I took had at least 3 jalapenos in it, which took aw...

Citizen's Grill Conroe, TX Citizen's Burger 1/2 Brisket, Short Rib, Sirloin Beef Patty with Spinach Red Onion, Tomato topped with Candied Jalapeno Cream Cheese. $12.00 Sitting right in between Conroe and Magnolia sits the Citizen's Grill, which I would describe as a more upscale version of Applebee's on my first impression, but after trying the burger, I found that it was so much more, it was actually a very good restaurant. The burger selection is very limited here (two), but the difference between the two is good enough to get a mention. Their signature burger carries an interesting collage of toppings, but somehow it works for them. The forefront of this burger and as you can see by the picture, their focal point, is the Candied Jalapeno Cream Cheese. This was a very fresh and new choice for me on my burgers and going into it, I thought that this would be an amazing choice, and I was PRETTY MUCH correct. The taste and spice was great on this and I...

Boomerjack's Dallas, TX Triple B Burger Lettuce, Tomato, Onions, Beef, Bacon, Brisket, topped with onion strings on a Pretzel Roll. $11.99 For 2020, I wanted to start off on a good foot, or rather burger, and I think I could say that I did that. In my trip to Dallas to watch the last Cowboys game of the season, I stopped to eat at a VERY busy sports bar by the stadium that I had been too years ago (and at a buffalo chicken sandwich that was pretty good) with a certain burger in mind, but due to menu changes, I had to settle for this one. As you can tell, there is A LOT of meat on this burger which is always a good thing when you are a carnivore like myself. To start with the basics, the burger was patty was alright. I honestly did not get a good taste of the burger patty in every bite because the brisket took over the flavor of pretty much every bite. However, the patty was very soft and fell apart easily which was great. The brisket to continue from y previous p...

Crazy Alan's Swamp Shack Baybrook, TX In-Bred Burger Lettuce, Tomato, Onions, American Cheese with a Hand formed Beef patty mixed with smoked bacon & medium spiced jalapenos. $9.99 For the final burger of 2019, I tried a place that I continuously drive by but have never heard any reviews from anyone I know, making it a real gamble of a place and it turned out to be a somewhat interesting experience. Crazy Alan's Swamp Shack for those of you who do not know is a south Houston based Cajun restaurant that is very proud of it's seafood and Cajun cuisine if you look at the menu. For example, they even serve a burger where the patty is mixed with Alligator meat and another that is mixed with Crawfish meat. While these would have been excellent additions to this blog, I felt like mixing the meat with other meats would create an imbalance and thus did not try it, but I would love to recommend to go there to do so! Enough introduction, let's get to the me...

Katz's Deli Shenandoah, TX Carnegie Burger Bacon, Nosh Sauce, Cheddar Cheese, Jalapeno Cream Cheese Bites, Lettuce, & Tomato $13.99 I want to start by saying Merry Christmas to everyone (or anyone) who has followed me throughout this year and with the year coming to a close, I hope to close out on some strong burgers, and this one did not let me down on that. Katz's Deli is this 24/7 Deli/Restaurant that is in front of my neighborhood and despite driving by it all the time, I never stop, and now i regret it. They had a good selection of creative burgers, but the server said that this one is the most popular and one of his favorites, so I went ahead and took his word for it, and was not let down, but enough gushing over it, let's break it down! First of all, this thing is HUGE. I could only eat about half of it and had to save the rest to go, as you can see from the picture, it's just tall because of not only how thick the patty is, but because of...

Craft Grill Tomball, TX Gruene Burger Chipotle Sauce, Roasted Jalapeno Pepper Strips, House-Made Salsa Verde, & Monterrey Jack Cheese on a Challah Bun $12 I have to give the Craft Grill a lot of credit, they have an extremely large variety of tasty sounding burgers! I spent probably around 10 minutes trying to decide and then second guessing myself on which burger I would want to eat, and eventually just had one of the staff pick for me when they said that this burger was one of their newer and more frequently ordered. And honestly, I wasn't disappointed. The main theme of this burger is HOT. This burger is spicy because of the Chipotle sauce and the Roasted Jalapeno Pepper Strips which I have to say were probably the 2 best parts of this burger. Not only were they hot, but that packed a good amount of flavor and freshness along with the heat. Moving on to the rest of the supporting cast of the burger, you can clearly see the Monterrey Jack cheese that was me...
