Me and the Wifey had some important campin bidness in Fairfield and then at Ratcliff Lake. In between the two, we went through Crockett at lunch time. We were cruising the loop and most of the possibilities were chain hamburger joints and we prefer locally owned restaurants. So when we saw the TX Burger, we slid in.
This place makes a really big deal about serving Nolan Ryan beef. Now anything Nolan Ryan is going to get attention in Texas (hello, Jon Daniel).
So Mitcho ordered the Tx Burger combo. This was a TX Burger and seasoned fries. As I mentioned earlier they make a big deal about the burger having Nolan Ryan beef. I paid attention to the taste of the beef and I couldn't tell any difference between this burger and a DQ or Whataburger. Shhhhh, don't tell Nolan, he might come after me. Givin the burger a 6.
Now when you make a big deal of something on the meun, Mitcho expects it to be a big deal. They really played up the seasoned fries. First of all, the meal came in this huge basket with the burger on one end and about 12 fries scattered on the bottom of the basket. Now if the fries would have come in a container like Whataburger, they might have filled the container and it would not have been a big deal. But the meal came in this over sized basket which was mostly empty!!!! Bad impression. Also, the fries looked a yellow orange like seasoned fries look like. However, they just tasted like fries. I couldn't detect any seasoned taste on the fries. These fries if marketed as regular fries and came in a container the correct size for the amount they give you would have scored a much higher score. However, serving them in a huge basket and marketing them as seasoned fries is a big mistake. Givin the fries a 3.5.
Overall this meal gets a 4.75.
