Decided to try this burger place out, based on the other reviews i was wondering if during the pandemic, the service and food quality would be better because restaurants want to gain and keep customers, not so much with this place. Upon entering, there is a sign that says to seat yourself which is fine, but half the restaurant was marked as reserved, so only 1 booth already seated, a couple, no one else in the place, so we sat in a non-reserved table.
It was only about 10 minutes before we saw an employee, a gentleman came out, went to the table with the couple, didn't even look at us and we are at the table next to them, talked to them for a minute, turned around and returned to the kitchen, not a word, i mentioned to my girlfriend how this was apparently how the reviews said the restaurant works. The lady at the table mentioned it was her brother, i said it's just what the reviews say about the service.
Not to long after, the waitress came and took our order, she was very nice and very attentive, kept an eye on us, topped off our drinks and brought out the food when it was ready and hot. However, the gentlemen that came out was a cook apparently and from our short experience with him, he is not a people person, and i watched him through the serving window just goofing off and talking, there was a second cook in the kitchen it looked like, probably the cook preparing our food because he clearly is neither a people person nor a cook that cares.
For the food, the appetizers were great, we had onion rings and fried mushrooms, at least those were not overcooked, the burgers on the other hand, burnt, the bacon on my girlfriend's burger was charcoal black and mine was short of that, both burgers were also overcooked and the meat dry. The season fries my girlfriend had been also overcooked and regular fries were just shy of burned but still to dry and hard to really eat.
I can only give this review a 2 star because we had great service from our waitress, and the appetizers were good.
Don't come here if you're looking for a decent burger,...
Read moreAwesome Lunch! Arrived at noon on Wednesday, 12/8/21. The lunch menu offered M-F from 11-3 contains 4 choices. I opted for the chicken tenders basket with fresh cut fries. $7.50.
This is not the arches or the king. If you want your food in a minute or two, you should go somewhere else. Food here is prepped and cooked TO ORDER! It is amazing.
The fries are cut and cooked at the restaurant. Served slightly salted.
The tenders are not tenderloins. Instead, they are slices of chicken breast. Each weighs about 3-4 ounces! Two chicken breast strips in my Tender Basket were too hot to eat upon arrival to my table. I chose honey mustard as my dipping sauce. Because the tenders are so large, the TWO tenders that come with the lunch basket was plenty of food.
There is a help wanted sign in the store's window. One employee was running the dining room. Taking orders, delivering orders and bussing tables. A man (Uncle Tony?) and one other employee were preparing the meals in the kitchen. The restaurant was more than half full at lunch with most customers appearing to be local office staff.
The process takes a few minutes after ordering. Again, everything is made to order here. The tenders were cooked golden brown with a delicious coating. The fries had just the right amount of salt when they arrived from the kitchen.
Wonderful place, staff and...
Read moreThis was the BEST burger place I have found in this area. It was phenomenal. I know a good burger and I have not found great burgers in the greater Houston area much, but THIS is one of them. I had the Rattlesnake burger with avocado on it and BOOYYYYY HOWDY, let me tell YOU, that was KILLER. I usually can't handle super spicy things but that was DELIGHTFUL. Not overly spicy, just a bit warm. The patty was so flavorful, and the fries!?!?!? To die for. You can tell they are hand-cut and deep fried, they get this little crispy end where the potato fry was notched out or otherwise partially cut that made the center of the fry explode. I still think about those fries and my mouth is watering all over again thinking about them now.
There was something on the drink menu that caught our eye and we had to ask about. There is this option on the drink menu for a "hamburger shot". I was immediately appalled and so curious. We asked about it and, according to the associate, is a "joke shot" of vodka, tomato juice, and a pickle back. It sounded terrible but he looked THRILLED to tell us and his joy was just infectious. We didn't do the shot, but we had a good laugh about it!
You have to come down and get one of their burgers. You...
