    Grilled cheese

    Hippo Burgers' "Grilled Cheese" A Tragedy in Three Bites.... you've ever wondered what it might feel like to bite into disappointment wearing a sesame seed hat, look no further than the grilled cheese at Hippo Burgers. This masterpiece arrives on an inside-out burger bun, as if the kitchen suddenly remembered mid-order that bread exists but decided to improvise for the thrill of it. Bold. Confusing. A little chaotic. Then there's the cheese: two flimsy, unenthusiastic slices of Walmart cheese that look like they escaped from a lunchbox in 2009 and never emotionally recovered. Not a hint of creaminess. Not a melt, not a stretch, not even a polite attempt to soften. Just stiff, existential dairy squares contemplating the meaning of life on your bun, clinging to the bun like they didn't actually want to be part of this experience either. And yet... redemption glimmers. The Cajun fries were the true hero of the meal. Crispy, seasoned, and downright delightful. Honestly, I should've just stuck with the fries. They were the only part of the order that didn't seem confused about their purpose in life. The sweet tea, however, tasted like it had been sitting out for a day or two, gathering wisdom and possibly a faint hint of carbonation. A philosophical beverage, but not in a good way. The whole sandwich vibes like it was assembled by someone who whispered, "You'll live" and walked away. Overall, 10 out of 10 for comedic value, and the fries, 2 out of 10 for... literally anything else. If you're craving grilled cheese, maybe try a different universe.

    -#12 siracha burger was seasoned well - chili cheese fries weren't my cup of tea but may be yours. -The decorations at the restaurant were a little outdated for my liking. - The place was clean and empty when we arrived. -The location was a little sketchy for my liking so I'll try the one on atascosita next time. -lunch crowd started coming in one by one at 3pm -price was $35 for two combos -the burger was huge.

    Same good taste, but smaller store. Store has been reduced to half the size. Not sure why...but another business is on the other half of wall from its original store. Can't complain, this is the Original location, can't get no better than where it started regardless.

    Burgers are huge! There are quite a few combinations you can get here. They definitely have some of their own specialty concoctions too! Service was quick and easy. Walked right up to the counter and ordered! Not a lot of people were in there so there were plenty of booths and tables to sit in. Burgers were well seasoned. Panties are hand formed. Fries were okay. I went with my family and everyone got their own burgers and had rave reviews about them!

    Think Larry David: Prettyyyy...prettyyyy....pretty good. The menu is the perfect size - just enough variety for whatever you're feeling like. Every side we tried was hot and solid. The burgers were all the picture-perfect version of "decent." The people running the place were pleasant. The setup inside is sparse and honestly depressing, but no one is here looking for it to look cute. Won't drive a distance to get here. Haven't craved it since we came here. But if you're in the area, it's not a bad spot.

    Just ok- meat breaks in half while trying to eat burger & slides out- cheapest cheese used, don't even think it was real cheese. Garlic fries were frozen fries with minced garlic from the jar- spooned on top. Chocolate mint shake was the only thing half way decent!

    Culver's honestly caught me completely off guard. We tried it when we went to Houston for the…read morerodeo, and that food was fire. I wasn't expecting it to hit the way it did, but everything was fresh, hot, and actually really good. Food: Everything tasted way better than expected. The food had that fresh-made feel instead of tasting overly fast-food-ish. You can tell they actually care about quality, and it definitely stood out. Whatever we ordered was hitting from the first bite. Service: Service was smooth and friendly with no problems at all. The staff kept things moving, and the food came out quick. Ambiance: The place was clean, comfortable, and had a good overall atmosphere. It felt easygoing and made for a good stop while we were out in Houston for the rodeo. Overall: Culver's definitely surprised me in the best way possible. That place was fire, and I'll absolutely be running that back again next time I get the chance lol.

    Wow! Really impressed with the Mobile App ordering. Easy peasy! And they had it ready to go at the…read morecounter for me and it was so hot and fresh! I'd been waiting 5 years to try the walleye (every Lent I'd been missing it as this is almost an hour drive each way) and it did not disappoint! The cheese curds were good but I do prefer Freddy's version of them. The coleslaw was amazing as was the plentiful cups of tartar and cocktail sauce. I love that you get a little dinner roll with butter and that they packaged the cold items separately. Their own brand of root beer was delicious. They didn't miss a thing. Napkins, receipt, utensils, separate bags. Check, check, check and check! Bathrooms were well stocked and clean and smelled good! On our way out someone was even washing the windows. What a great location! Worth the trip!
