Yankee's Tavern & Grill

Today, my work took me to the sprawling metropolis of Iola, Texas. Along the way, I passed by a biker bar called Yankee's Tavern & Grill, located at 10328 FM 244 in Carlos, Texas, and having been there before, I decided to stop by for lunch. I ordered my usual bacon cheeseburger and fries. I stopped by early, so there was not that long of a wait. Here, they serve a thick, fresh 1/2 pound patty, that even though it's not seasoned enough to my liking, the tradeoff is how juicy it is and tender it is. The cheese melted nicely on top and the bacon was crisp. Today, the mustard was spread a little too thick, but the A-1 Steak Sauce available counteracted the strong mustard taste. The bread was nothing special, not homemade, my guess is it's store bought, but when the patty is thick and juicy as it is, all you need is something around the patty to hold on to. The same could be said about the fries, nothing special; I didn't even finish them. They were also a little pricey. The patty here, however, overshadows everything else and makes it well worth the trip. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being The Perfect Burger, I give Yankee's Tavern & Grill an 8.
