Burgers, Fries, n Things


Today my work took me to the 610/Cullen area of Houston. I did some research before I went down there to see what burger establishments were in the area. I decided to go with a close restaurant and I visited Burgers, Fries, n Things located at 8525 Scott St. I Googled the business and was able to see a picture of the building. I immediately got excited as the picture indicated it was a hole-in-the-wall/greasy spoon type place. When I arrived, my excitement was affirmed as the building is indeed a shack. It doesn't even have anywhere to sit and eat, I had to eat in my car. So, I figured the food must be good. Then, when I saw the prices, my heart skipped a beat because you can get a bacon cheeseburger basket, WITH fries AND a drink for only $5.05! Well, the proverbial saying, "You get what you pay for," really applies to this place. Sorry to say that the hamburger patty, although well seasoned, as you can see from the picture, was extremely thin and dry as a bone. It also seemed to almost be fried. The bacon was tough and did not seem as it was just made, more like it had been sitting there for a while. The old school crinkle cut fries were decent, even if they had been left in the frier too long. Their menu is varied, from pork chops to fried catfish, and I'm guessing there are better things to eat here since there was quite a few people waiting for food. In a pinch, I guess I would eat here again, but there are probably better hamburger choices in the area. I would've rather spent a little more and have gotten a better burger. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being The Perfect Burger, I give Burgers, Fries, n Things a 4.
