Black Sheep Lodge-January 24, 2011

I like Black Sheep Lodge. Good Food and drink specials. I wish there were more parking, though. 

I've had the Black Buffalo Burger before, and I have to say that it's pretty good. This trip, however, I decided to go with the standard Black Sheep Burger with cheddar, bacon and jalapeño...for $1 extra...EACH! That's not cool. I think they should have a cheeseburger and/or bacon cheeseburger option that isn't so expensive. That's just ridiculous. 

Anyway, the first couple of bites were a little disappointing. I don't know...just not enough flavor. When I got more to the "meat" of the burger, it got better. Maybe the patty wasn't seasoned evenly? Anyway, pretty good burger overall. Still don't think it's top 50 in Texas, though.  

Cherrywood Coffeehouse-Dec. 9, 2010

I drive by Cherrywood Coffeehouse often, but just kept forgetting to go there for a burger. It had, after all, won a Critic's Pick "Best Affordable Delectable Burger" in The Austin Chronicle's Best of Austin 2010. (tinyurl.com/279ffdp) Well, I finally made it.

My friend Dieter and I headed out there on a Thursday night. The place was actually pretty busy.






I think we both ordered the House Cheeseburger (Two 3.5 ounce fresh, never frozen, all beef patties) with fries. I added Jalapeños and Bacon, of course. I have to say, this was a PRETTY good burger. The bun was soft, the burger was seasoned pretty well. I think it was only salt and pepper, but that was enough. The jalapeños were different than most burger places. Instead of sliced in rings, they were chopped up...and tasteeee. The fries were pretty good, as well. I have nothing bad to say about this burger or this place. I've also eaten breakfast at Cherrywood Coffeehouse and highly recommend this place to everyone. Go there now.
