Any event that is tied to burgers is always going to be a win in my book! Knowing that they're new to town, and in their soft opening, I must say they did quite great. I went with a 5 bc 4.5 isn't available, and that's only due to a few things I think could be tweeked and they'd be well on their way!
Came with a buddy of mine and we didn't know what to expect upon coming in. Greeted by the door with the wonderful Jandito, with a quick check in, and off to the races. Greeted inside by either the owner or manager, she had a great big smile, told us about how the event worked, which is one free meal with fries and a drink. She handed us a menu, and in line we went.
We opted to split our meals so we could try more than one burger. The peanut butter burger seemed to be the speciality for the evening, and although, not your typical burger, it was hard to not give it a go. I also opted for the Motley Que, which think of a burger bacon cheeseburger. I got fries and my friend got onion rings, so I feel we were pretty well rounded in our choices.
I went for the house lemonade, they also had sweet tea available with PepsiCo Products. I grabbed my drink, some napkins and found a table close by some friends. They'd already started their meals and had great things to say, so I was excited.
As we waited for our meals, looking around the restaurant, the staff was buzzing!! Staff in the kitchen were flipping quickly, the cashiers were super helpful, always talking with someone, staff was quickly getting burgers out, bussing tables and making sure we had Everything we needed. Not one person was standing still, they all seemed to be in sync!
Now on to the burgers. Great big burger came out, it was huge. Loved the crispy bacon and onions on the Que burger. I opted for bbq sauce on side bc you never know if it'll be good or not. This bbq was good, so on, the burger it went. Here's where I say a few tweeks. The size of the burger patty itself is just right you can also go for a double. The bread was too much for the burger. I love to taste the meat and in this scenario, it was overwhelming so I started to remove the bread as I ate. The bread also was a little rough, not sure if they'd been sitting out, or if they were toasted a little long, but it took away from the star of the show. Over 4 out of 5 for me.
The peanut butter pickle bacon burger was my fave out of these two. I didn't think PB on a burger would be, but this just works!! Same thing with the bread I'd want a softer bun and less bread. The peanut butter ratio was also a little more than I wanted, but still really good. The pickles balance out the burger delightfully well, I just wanted more pickles. I couldn't put this one down, so I know I need to come back post opening.
This event was well staffed, everything ran smoothly, and I love the vast amount of options available. Thank you Killer Burgers and staff, and to our Houston Yelp Team, Jando!!! read more
