Burger Chaser

Natachee's Supper 'n Punch Houston, TX Rene's Hot Hot Chopped Serrano Peppers and Mushrooms spanked right into our patty and topped with Cheddar, Lettuce, Tomato, Mustard, Mayo, Pickles, & Onions $10.99 For this week, I had the opportunity to go to a really cool place in Downtown Houston called Natachee's Supper 'n Punch. And besides having a really fun name, they also have some quality burgers! To be honest, the most interesting burger on the menu was the Astrodome Burger, but it was a 1/2 patty and I was not hungry at all, so I opted to not go with it and instead go with a burger with spice (which I LOVE). This burger honestly reminded me of the burger that I had a couple months back at Crazy Alan's Swamp Shack but I liked this one a lot more so while they may have the same score, this one is above it in the overall rankings. Bypassing all the usual topping such as the Lettuce, Tomato, Mustard, Mayo, Pickles, & Onions we will start...

Dairy Cone Columbus, TX Cheeseburger Lettuce, Tomato, Onion, Pickles, American Cheese $4.65 A few times a year, I like to go to San Antonio and one thing I have had to come to terms with is that there is not many burger places to find on I-10, but for my latest trip I managed to find one which I can only say had mixed results. Dairy Cone (which is obviously a lazy rip off of Dairy Queen) is a small little burger window shop that has some pretty cheap burgers and looks to specialize in their blue bell ice cream products. I opted to go with a simple cheeseburger because they didn't have many burgers in the terms of creativity. The burger itself was alright. The bun was very soft and was probably one of the best parts of the whole burger. The cheese was super melty and if you got that SMC on the burger, you are going to get bonus points. The veggies were nothing to brag about and the meat itself wasn't very seasoned or very juicy, making it all around meh. I d...

Compadre's Texas Cafe Conroe Compadres Whiskey Mountain Brew Steak Sauce Burger Grilled Onions, Grilled Mushrooms, Swiss Cheese, Whiskey Steak Sauce, Lettuce, Tomato, Mayo, Mustard $10.59 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 go...

Texas Roadhouse Nationwide All American Cheeseburger American Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato, Onion $9.49 While in the midst of this coronavirus pandemic, a lot of restaurants are doing as much as they can to survive and keep their employees working and making money and one that immediately stood out to me is Texas Roadhouse. For those of you who haven't heard, Kent Taylor, the CEO of Texas Roadhouse is giving up the rest of his salary for the year in order to help pay the employees at his restaurants. That is a class move, and after reading that, I had to include one of his burgers on the list, even if it is a huge chain. The burger itself wasn't bad! While I always get a steak when I go to Roadhouse, the burger had a pretty solid argument to be a more ordered item. The meat was soft and fell apart with each bit, and had a juiciness and flavor that you could also taste steak, which I assume came from the fact that they probably grilled all the meat on the same gri...

JAX Burgers Fries & Shakes Spring, TX Jax Burger with Cheese Mustard, Lettuce, Tomato, Pickle, Onion, & Cheese $5 With the coronavirus restaurant bans in full effect I am striving to still bring you burgers though all the pictures will come from inside my car, home, or outdoor locations. The first place I opted to get a burger from is JAX Burgers. They started off as a really successful location in Spring that grew into multiple locations as of late. And while they may have a big following, I don't really think I will be one of those. The burger by any means wasn't BAD, it just wasn't what I expected due to all the hype. I opted to go with their regular cheese burger because the cashier said that was the most popular. The veggie toppings were just basic, so nothing to elaborate on there, and the cheese was VERY melted which is great because it gave each bite a warm cheesy taste, which is so much better than a slice of cheese slapped on right befo...

Thistle Draftshop Spring, TX Bleu Burger Bleu Cheese, Smoked Habanero Bacon, Caramelized Beer Onions, Garlic Aioli, Seasame Seed Bun $12 This week the Burger Chase has brought us to a really niche little spot in Spring, TX called the Thistle Draftshop. I'll have to admit, from my first glance at this place, I was a little skeptical of if they would be able to deliver on a good burger, because it seemed like one of those places that were just focused on their craft beers and they just "had food" just to have it there. But I was proven WAY wrong. The burgers here are great. I apologize ahead of time, because I forgot to get a picture of the burger I actually had, so I had to use one that I found online, but rest assured, the burger looks just as good as the one they used for the marketing pic above. Now I am not a big fan of bleu cheese, so I actually had my burger without it, but I am not letting that factor into the score, but who knows, maybe they hav...

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...
