Burger Street - Mesquite

We were in a hurry for lunch today because the wifey had some bidness to tend to. So she decided we were running to Taco Bueno for lunch. No this is not a review of Taco Bueno, even though maybe it should be. We went into the door, it smelled like a cesspool. Not real appetizing even for a redneck. Next she decided we would go across the road to Long John Silvers, but almost there she realized we were going to Doe Belly's tonight (fish). For some reason she has this idea that you can't eat fish for lunch and fish for dinner. So running out of time, we did the shuffle over to Burger Street. This place has been here forever, but this was our first visit.

At first glance on the menu, it is a little pricey for a fast food burger joint. You know us rednecks are tight with our money, you never know when a good used refrigerator will go on sale. So I ordered the normal, burger combo (burger, fries and drink). First of all they put mustard and mayo on their burgers. Come on, make your mind up, are you a sissy (mayo) or a real man (mustard). Don't be trying to walk a thin line in between because that line does not exist, it is a grand canyon in the middle. The next problem is the drink machine is behind the counter so you have to go back to the counter to get a refill. I strongly prefer getting my own refill instead of waiting in line again. Of course there was no one else there, so the line was not a real problem today.

The burger was large (Whataburger size) which is good, but my burger had one circle of onion and one or two pickles, plenty of lettuce. Come on, Mitcho likes onion. Whataburger loads their burger with lots of onion. The meat had a good taste and was plenty big. There was so little mustard on it that I had to look to be sure there was mustard on it. So basically there was not much to enhance the flavor of the burger. Mitcho likes enhancements. The curly fries were thin cut and crunchy, which Mitcho likes, but at their price they need to be seasoned fries also.

The one good item was the free ice cream.

This meal for me and the wifey cost $13.39, Whataburger for the same meal would be $8.50. I refer to Whataburger because they are the king of the fast food burger (sorry Burger Thing). Needless say, there will be no need to come back here.
