THE BURGER HOUSE — Restaurant in Garland

My friend and I were hungry and saw that The Burger House had great reviews. It's a family owned "hole in the wall" burger restaurant with a Mexican twist. We did get a little lost on our way there, but it's located next to a Shell gas station.

First, the carne asada fries caught our attention! The fries were crispy and perfectly seasoned. They definitely didn't skimp out on the toppings: tender carne asada, pickled jalapeños, cheese avocado slices, sour cream, cilantro, and tomatoes. The portion size was generous, and overall, it was incredibly delicious.

I ordered the Monroy Cheese Burger and medium size drink and fries combo. It's a decently sized burger, although my critique would be that the patties were on the thinner side. However, the meat was juicy and the toppings added great flavor. It was a very solid burger and left me full!

As for the combo - the fries were crispy and well-seasoned. They have ketchup as well as hot sauces and other condiments. The drinks were a real hit for me! There is an assortment of Mexican beverages that are much better than your typical soda offerings in regular burger spots. I picked the Cucumber Lemon Drink, which was very refreshing. It was just a tad too sweet for my liking, but I still finished the whole thing.

My friend ordered the Chicken Melt, which was also another standout item. The chicken breast was tender and juicy. There was a generous amount of melted cheese, and the tomatoes and bacon were a perfect a touch. The sandwich was served on a perfectly toasted sour dough.

Finally, I couldn't resist finishing our decadent meal without some churros! I opted for the caramel churros. Again, the size was very generous. The churros were good, although I've had better. But the price is pretty good and hey, you can't go wrong with churros!

Overall, I would highly recommend The Burger House. It's definitely much better than going to your typical fast food burger place, and you're supporting a local, family-owned...

Pretty cool mom and pop shop

Lots of crazy burger options. I went with the chipotle burger which was good, but mustard kind of overpowered it so cut that next time. They have really good sautéed peppers and onions so I wanna try Monroys cheeseburger next time.

Good fries and plenty of them with a combo meal.

The watermelon fresco was killer! Very sweet, but tasted like real watermelon and not artificial flavor. Might cut it by half with water next time but still pretty impressive. Hibiscus was also very tasty.

Also tried a vanilla churro and a caramel churro and I don’t think they are for me. The caramel was a little too runny and the vanilla was better but neither were very flavorful. but they also have fried Oreos and maybe I’ll give that a shot next time.

Not a lot of space inside but they do have a few tables and chairs if you don’t want takeout.

Overall it’s definitely a step up from a chain and reasonably priced, so I’ll...

Dude okay so check it out, went for the first time today, got the chicken avocado bacon cheese sandwich substitute regular sized mozzarella sticks for the fries. I went ahead and got me an Horchata (a cold Mexican rice milk drink). Amen dude, this lovely joint has been here for about a year, the nice lady let me know. The sandwich has a lot of flavor color and texture. Avocados are fresh, the mozz sticks are stringy and not greasy, seasoned amazingly and paired with a lovely and one of a kind ranch. A+ for the recipe. But the Horchata! It's textured! It tastes like how it's supposed to, I have to imagine this kitchen takes recipe builds very seriously because their quality is wonderful beyond words, so I guess you'll have to try it and leave a review so I know what to try next. Thank you The Burger House and keep it up! I'm checking out the...
