11/25/2018 Beer Barrel's Beer Barrel Bacon BBQ Burger

Tonight, we stopped by Beer Barrel and pick up some burgers. I ordered the Beer Barrel Bacon BBQ Burger.

I love a good barbeque burger. It can take you back to summer and vacationing. I am sad to report this burger did not do that for me.

The bun was a butter split top roll. It was the same size as the burger which for me is a plus. It is frustrating when there is too much or not enough bread when you pick it up. The bun was soft and paired well with the burger.

The patties at Beer Barrel are 1/2 ground sirloin. I ordered my burger medium. Unfortunately, it came out almost well done. It was a juicy patty which saved it. The patty was seasoned well and it didn't taste like you were just chewing on a chunk of hamburger.

The toppings are probably the disappointing part of the burger. The onion ring was too hard. I couldn't tell if it was over or under done. I picked part of it off my burger because it wasn't worth the fight. The barbeque sauce has a sweet tang to it. It was the highlight of the toppings. I saw bacon on the burger but sit not taste it. They probably need to double the bacon on the sandwich so you know it is there. I had mayo added to the sandwich because I love how it pairs with BBQ sauce. It was a great addition.

I was sad that I didn't notice prior to ordering the burger that it did not come with cheese. Cheese would have helped this burgers overall flavor.

11/13/18: Texas Roadhouse's All American Burger

When you think of Texas Roadhouse, you don't think about a burger, rather a steak. But Texas Roadhouse offers three different offerings for a burger. I am focusing on their All American Burger.

The toppings are American cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and onions. I just had a plain cheeseburger today. The cheese was at a weird stage where it was not special, but the burger would fall apart without it.

The Patty was meh. It wasn't bad per se, but it is not a extraordinary burger. Not much seasoning, but the seasoning did add to the Patty.

The bun is an oversized seseme seed bun. It had a toasted middle that was toasted perfectly. It serviced it's purpose: it held the burger together and didn't take away from it.

This burger was not bad, but you don't want to pay 10 bucks for a burger you can make at home...if not better. I would not pass on their other burgers yet as judgment has yet to be determined, but I would rather get a nice steak than a burger here.

Toppings: 5
Patty: 6
Bun: 7

OVERALL: 6

11/8/18: Jack B's Heavy-B Burger

We have done RateABurger for near three years now, and I think we can close shop now. We found....IT. It is hiding in the middle of downtown Findlay. It is Jack B's.

The Heavy-B Burger is one pound of delicious patties, cheese, and toppings of your choice. I decided on a default ketchup and mustard.

The patties were half pound each with a delicious seasoning (seasoned salt among other ingredients). I don't know if I can do this patty justice. Did it need toppings? No. It was cooked perfectly with flavor in every bite.

The bun was a toasted potato bun. The bun had a nice taste to compliment the rest of the burger and to not overwhelm the rest of the burger.

This has been the best burger I have had from a non-fast-food place. Please check out Jack B's and find their goodness there.

Toppings: N/A
Patty: 10
Bun: 9

OVERALL: 9.5
