We went through the drive through to try what some call the best burger in Houston. At lunch time this place has a line out of the door. I was excited to try it knowing it is such high demand. When I opened the box this is what I saw. The bun is obviously handmade and just look at all those crinkle cut fries.

Guess that we paid???? A combo meal for $5.67 and then you build your own burger just like you can at a higher priced place like fuddruckers! So we went around the building, went inside and got all the extras we wanted including cheese on those fries.

The meat was seasoned just fine, the flavor was good but it was dry. The star of this meal was that homemade bun which added flavor and appeal for me. The crinkle cut fries were also seasoned well. The burger was really good especially for that price!

If I did a comparison between all of the burgers I would not put this on the top of the list however. The meat was overcooked where the juices were not running down my arm. I really need that magic to happen for me to put it towards the top. For the price however, you cannot beat it! This is one place I can go back to again and again!

This is a seafood restaurant but we were told they have amazing burgers. We stopped here just to try one. This is my plate before I put it together. See the toasted bun? Look at all that cheese!

Here it the burger after I stacked it. YUM!!! This is one of the best burgers ever. The buns are chewy, soft, buttery and toasted. The meat is seasoned perfectly with something I can’t put my finger on. The cheese is plentiful and really tasty. The veggies are fresh. Put them all together and it makes one really good burger. The juices were running down my arms and all was well the world. The next time you are in the area make it a point to stop and grab one

We sat outside on the huge deck area because the weather was really nice. It would have been better for us to eat indoors though because the mosquitoes started attacking right after we got our food. It is a good idea to spray yourself with bug spray before you go if you are staying outside. As we were leaving we did notice a can of bug spray at the desk that could have been offered by our waiter. I am not sure why he never offered it because we told him we were being bit. On the news the next day there were complaints about how bad the mosquitoes were everywhere.

This is my daughter right after we embarrassed her by telling our waiter she thought he smelled really good. He laughed and said he was wearing was Unforgivable by Sean John. The rest of the night we refereed to him as Mr. Smelly Good Man where we had him laughing. The service this night was pretty good other than the lack of bug spray. I do not know if part of it was because of the compliment we threw him or not. It is a great idea to toss out compliments though!

I really love a good burger and this place has a pretty good one! I almost hate to blog about it because this place is a chain that is growing all over. I think the food is overpriced for what you get, however this is the new trend it seems. The decor is bright red, industrial minimalist.

You walk in and order from a menu hanging on the wall. The burger selections are already put together for you. You can do your own combination if you prefer. They give you a number and a drink cup like many of the new chains do these days.

We decided to sit outside for the ambiance and because the temperature was perfect.

The burgers come in a wire basket with paper. The buns are not only chewy but toasted for something extra special. They offer sides like french fries, sweet potato fries, haystack onions, fried pickles, fried jalapenos and smashfries which are tossed with rosemary, olive oil and garlic. Everything I have tried so far has been tasty!

I have had the burger when I am dieting on the plate with no bun and all the way full on with a bun. Yes you can diet and eat burgers! It is called the Atkins diet:) At the moment I am eating bread. Yay for my taste buds! The burgers are good both ways. I prefer to eat them with the bun because it is fresh, chewy and adds another flavor component.

I have never had to wait long for the food which is another plus!
