Prince's Hamburgers


Today I visited Prince's Hamburgers, the location at 11460 Fuqua #100 in Houston, Texas. There are multiple locations in the Houston area and my work took me to the Southeast part of town, so I ate here. Prince's Hamburgers has been around for 75 years, so you know they're doing something right. Their reputation precedes them and I was looking forward to eating here since I never have before. This location had a giant menu on the wall and upon entering the restaurant I looked it over and must've stood there at least 10 minutes deciding what to get. There were so many choices. I also had to look at the regular sized menu to get more detail on the different burgers. After another five minutes reading over the menu I decided to go with the 1/2 pound Charbroiler burger instead of the 1/3 pound Old Timer. There's also Prince's Original burger, as well as different burger platters. As you can see, there are many choices to choose from. As per my usual, I went with the bacon cheeseburger and here they allow you to do a combo side, fries AND onion rings for only $1.50. So, we're off to a good start. After a small wait, my food was ready and was I impressed when I picked it up. The first thing I noticed was the black poppy seed bun, as well as the nice big onion rings to go with my fries. The burger looked nice and big. Today, the burger tasted just as good as it looked. The patty was well seasoned and juicy. Juice was being squeezed out of the patty with each bite that after a while the bottom bun became soggy. In this case, I enjoyed the bun getting soggy. The bacon was extra crispy and was the best I've had yet. I thoroughly enjoyed this meal and overall was one of the better hamburger dining experiences I've had in a while. On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being The Perfect Burger, I give Prince's Hamburgers a 9.
