I wasn't too impressed my last visit with the burgers being just ok in my opinion. I stated in my last review I would return to give it a second chance sometime in the future. Well the future is here!
Almost four years later me and my friends stopped in to grab burgers. The burgers or burger I ordered tasted ten times better than the last, somewhat making me eat my words. That tends to happen sometimes haha.
The Louisiana is the burger I chose. We ordered at the register then grabbed seats at the bar for a round of beers. James was the bartender who took care of us that night. Really cool guy with good knowledge of the beers on tap. He poured me up a Sculpin stating you're not going to find this anywhere on tap at this price. After thinking about it for a few seconds I agreed. I wasn't going to get a Sculpin on tap anywhere under $5, nowhere I knew of at least. Shortly after joking it up with James, the food arrived.
In contrast to the last burger I had here, this one was juicy and its patty well seasoned. The pepper jack was nicely melted, the slice of tasso ham on top of the patty was crispy and the burger was completely sauced up with both spicy remoulade & red hot sauce adding more flavor to the meats.
This was a huge improvement in taste and quality. Sadly it was a burger of the month, not one of the permanents on the menu. Sucks because it was delicious. Me joking with James I told him about my experience with the New Mexico burger and stated Bobby Flay should toss that one and put the Louisiana in it's place. Jame's response..."hey hey, don't you go knocking the New Mexico. What kind of a mad man are you?" My response..."ok ok, maybe I'm being too harsh on that state. I'll give them a chance for redemption next time" haha. Mentioning it again, James was cool and offered some good laughs. You have to have heard it in the tone he used upon saying it which made it hilarious.
I plan to give the New Mexico another shot just to be sure. However I am looking forward to another burger of the month. Hopefully any burger I order in the future (burger of the month or permanent) will be as enjoyable as this one.
