JJ's Sideout Bar & Grill — Restaurant in La Porte

My wife and I ordered the Sideout Cheeseburger through DoorDash, so I can't comment on the service or atmosphere - though based on the food I look forward to dining in with them.

I'd heard good things around town and thought I'd try it, sure enough it lives up to the reputation. The burger was juicy but not dripping onto the plate or making the bun soggy, even though it took 15 minutes to reach me the vegetables were crisp and flavorful. Normally I don't have pickles on my burger but decided to leave them on because, well, that's the burger with the rep, so I'd try it that way. To my surprise they were a great addition. Just as crisp as the other veggies, and the waffle cut made a great addition to the texture. The tang of the pickle complimented the rest.

And it's a seven ounce burger; that's quite a slab of beef, so it was quite filling. The fries it came with were great, yes, but that burger took up so much room in my stomach I couldn't finish them.

Absolutely awesome food, easily top five in the area (likely the #1 burgers) and I look forward to dining in next time and experiencing the rest...

Kind of a quirky place. There is no formal parking just a big gravel parking area. Was crowded so it was very difficult to park. The next thing you notice is all the prices on the menu are blacked out and there is a QR code in a holder on the table that says scan for current prices. Someone came by and said they don't have waitresses after 8:00 p.m. (about when we arrived) but they were glad to help us. They were fairly prompt with the food. I really wanted a salad with chicken but I didn't see it on the menu. So I just ordered the garden salad. They asked did I want chicken? Absolutely! Just what I was looking for! Food was very good. My guess is if you are in town you can make this a regular place if you're into a bar and grill. If you're out of town, as we were, just looking for a quick place to eat, it might be better to at least go for lunch or an early dinner. But it was kind of interesting so we still give...

Service was great. Food came up really quick. Almost to quick.. we ordered mushrooms and fried pickles as an appetizer. So much grease on the bottom of the tray. If the cook would of just shaken some of it off before emptying his basket into tray. My lady ordered a salad. Her veggies looked fresh cut and crisp. My French onion soup, was way to salty and cooked to long as if they just kept adding to it day after day. Way to much greasy bread and not enough cheese. Order a bacon blue cheese burger. It was fair. Not sure if the bun was toasted or not I honestly don't think it was. The temps on the cheese sauce for dipping was way to hot. All in all nice lil spot bathroom was clean and smelled clean. Just feel the kitchen could use a lil more training and passion. Unique menu Im not bashing the place. Exact opposite. With just a lil more passion, This place...
