One of my close friend told me about this great burger place in Houston. And being myself, whenever I hear about some type of food trying to take that prestigious title, I just have to try it out myself. So today, I took my Vovinam students out with me to test out this burger place. It’s called The Burger Guys located on Westheimer between Kirkwood and Dairy Ashford. Luckily she had told me it was next to Raising Canes or else I would have completely missed it — it’s located in the shopping strip right next to Raising Canes but the sign was so small!

Oh but don’t let the small sign fool you!  There were 9 of us and we ordered almost half the menu.  The fries were pretty good.  The sauces that they came with were even better. I think we got 4 different types of sauces, one of which is their homemade ketchup.  It had a tangy zing to it which went really well with the fries.

The burger, I had the Texan, was DELICIOUS!  Everything from the bun to the very insides of the meat was cooked to perfection.  The bun was toasted just right, the cheese melted perfectly, the bacon extra crispy, mushrooms sauteed with just enough spices (or maybe there weren’t any spices, anyhow it was good), and the meat, oh the meat, was fully cooked but oh so juicy on the inside.

Just describing it makes me want to go back right now!  Too bad they’re probably closed because they don’t freeze the meat!  All of that Kobe Beef is cooked until they’re gone.  Once it’s gone, they’re done for the day!

The rest of my group had other burgers on the menu, but from what I can tell, they were all fully satisfied.  Just one heads up:  their burgers are GINORMOUS!  Not that that’s a bad thing, but if you’re like me and don’t like to take things to-go but also don’t like to waste food, I would suggest asking them to make you an “Annie-size”.  Yes, Annie like the name. That’s the awesome friend who told me about this great burger joint and apparently it’s their unofficial small size burger.  You might have to explain to them what you mean though since I’m not sure they know that that is the unofficial small size now…

Oh and by the way, their soda fountain has 100% real sugar drinks!  Dublin Dr. Pepper anyone?!
