Mixed Up Burgers — Restaurant in Grand Prairie

If you’re looking for a burger that will absolutely ruin you for all other burgers, Mixed Up Burgers is the place. Honestly, eating here is like discovering fire for the first time, life before it seems primitive and sad. Their burgers don’t just hit the spot; they buy the spot a house, fill the fridge with groceries, and then serenade it with love ballads until it cries happy tears.

Let’s start with the Touchdown Burger Basket. This thing is not a burger. It is a contact sport. Two 1/3 pound beef patties, bacon mixed right into the meat, American cheese in the middle like a gooey peace treaty, and then MORE bacon and grilled jalapeños on top. And because Mixed Up Burgers doesn’t believe in subtlety, it comes with fries that could double as construction materials, they’re that sturdy. Eating this burger feels like winning the Super Bowl, but instead of a trophy, you get cheese dripping down your shirt while your arteries file a noise complaint. Worth it. Every. Time.

Then there’s the Pedro Burger. Oh boy. This one is like if Taco Tuesday and Burger Friday had a baby, and that baby grew up to become mayor of Flavor Town. The patty itself is mixed with bell peppers and red onions, topped with queso, salsa, and slices of avocado thicker than your ex’s excuses. It’s messy in the best possible way. You will need napkins. Plural. Maybe a tarp. But the flavor combination makes you forget you’re covered in queso like a toddler at a birthday party. It’s fresh, spicy, and just the right level of “what diet?”

And finally, the Irish Nacho Burger. Whoever invented this deserves a Nobel Prize in Deliciousness. Bacon and American cheese are blended into the patty itself, because why the heck not? Then it’s stacked with fried potato slices (basically french fry shingles), drowned in more cheese, crowned with sour cream, and sprinkled with chives. Eating it feels like St. Patrick’s Day came early, and instead of green beer, you got a pot of gold that tastes like crispy potato heaven. If you don’t black out in joy halfway through, you’re stronger than me.

Now, let’s talk vibes. The place has that “neighborhood joint” feel where everyone is just happy to be there, probably because they’re full of beef, bacon, and queso. The menu is creative, the portions are aggressive (in a good way), and the prices are shockingly reasonable for food that makes you consider legally marrying it.

In summary: Mixed Up Burgers is not just a restaurant; it’s an experience. It’s the kind of place where you’ll eat until you need to be rolled out like Violet Beauregarde after the blueberry incident. If you love burgers, or food, or just being alive, get yourself here. Five out of five napkins, would absolutely...

A long time ago there was an interesting idea I had where there should be a burger restaurant where ingredients like bell peppers and bacon could be grilled into the patty of the hamburger. I hadn’t encountered any restaurants that did this and I considered it a missed opportunity on my stores’ part because it does add something that gives it a slight edge than just including it on top.

Mixed Up Burgers in Grand Prairie did not miss this, and they have embraced it fully. I was alerted to their presence through Instagram and when I looked at their photos, I was definitely intrigued. So down to Grand Prairie I went in search of something signature and I was not disappointed. I ordered The Pedro and some of the Fried Corn Nuggets. Once I had sampled what they were capable of, I moved on to something more intimidating with The Ring of Fire.

The Fried Corn Nuggets were decent. Nothing really phenomenal but they were good enough. The dipping sauce provided for them was actually better than the nuggets themselves and really sold their flavor.

The Pedro was a work of art. Along with having the peppers and onions grilled into the patty, the cook also took the time to make sure that the patty was beautifully executed. The toppings meshed perfectly with the patty and the ingredients inside and that’s saying something because I don’t normally like avocado. The Ring of Fire burger was something else to behold entirely. The brilliant, ultra-spicy sauce was packed with flavor and really set off the onion rings and patty; with ingredients mixed in.

Overall, if you’re in Grand Prairie looking for a delicious and unique experience, you have to try Mixed Up Burgers. They’re a landmark in the metroplex, as far as I’m concerned and I’ll be back for sure. 5/5

UPDATE .7 MONTHS LATER!!!! SAME TRASH SERVICE ONLY PEOPLE IN HERE STILL TOOK 40 MINUTES TO GET FOOD! WAITRESS NEVER ONCE CAME TO ASK IF WE NEED ANYTHING IN THAT TIME. HAD TO REFILL MY OWN DRINKS. I have been to this establishment about six times total now. The food is amazing and I have a referred all my S/O coworkers from a local school district to the establishment. The times that I have been the service has not been the best the wait times have been very long and even longer to receive our food. I've had the same server every time I have been even though her demeanor is very friendly once we receive our food she seems to disappear we've even had to get up and refill our own drinks a time or two. Yesterday, was no different and to add insult to injury we had a different issue not coming from her but from another waitress or she may be a shift manager. I took two of my co-workers to try out your establishment for the first time. We were in full uniform coming from work as security officers for a local School District. I have been to the establishment before with another fellow officer who is a jailer ( not a "police officer") for Tarrant County and received a discount. That being said at the end of the meaI, I casually asked the server if we were able to get the discount she happily said "SURE" no no big deal. A few moments had passed when another server abruptly approached our table along with ours question us about "WHAT discount exactly we were wanting?!!!" I explained to her I'm not sure what the discount was given to me the last time. I told her it was not a big deal she continued to question "Are you a POLICE OFFICER or just SECURITY?!" even though my badge on my uniform clearly stated I was a security officer. It was very embarrassing for my fellow officers along with my two children I had with me not to mention doing it in front of the other patrons in the restaurant. We may not be considered police officers but we do Serve and Protect close to 4,000 children every day!!! We felt very degraded by the actions of this woman and we will not return to this...
