    Beef and Beef & Cheddar Croissant

    Amazing meal and service today! The birthday cake is a must have as well. It's moist and taste just as you would expect any birthday cake, flavored dessert.

    Fantastic!! I was on a quick shopping road trip to Texas, my first stop was Portillo's in Denton Texas to pickup-up 2 Italian beef vacuum sealed (2lbs, 8oz), and separately frozen gravy is included in the price. Don't forget the giardiniera, it's not Italian beef without it. Friendly and helpful customer service.

    I used to visit Portillos in Chicago all the time. I wouldn't say it was exactly the same but excited to have them in Texas. I got a sausage, onion rings and a chocolate shake. My only complaint was that the shake had very little chocolate in it. The customer service was great however. Expect a little wait as your order is cooked fresh.

    Maxwell street, Hot dog original,  and beef n cheddar croissant, with fries and cheese.

    This is my second visit this week. I was invited on Monday to try it out with some friends and today my parents and brother were wanting to try it out. I love the decor and the ambience is so warm, nostalgic, and homey. There's a little display with different good quality souvenirs you can purchase. The first visit I ordered a chicken sandwich and fries with cheese dip. Oh my goodness, the fries are crinkle cut and fresh, hot, and crispy (not too salty but salty enough). The cheese sauce pairs perfectly with the fries. The spicy chicken sandwich was full of good flavor and not too spicy and freshly made. As for my visit today I ordered the rodeo burger. The patties is charbroiled with onion rings, bacon, cheese, and bbq sauce. It's a hearty burger with lots of flavor. I was impressed. As for the staff they are all super friendly and helpful and keep that place super clean. I am excited for my next visit.

    Burnt bun from a spicy chicken sandwich.

    I ordered a spicy chicken sandwich from the drive thru and while eating it smelled burnt. I took it apart and noticed the bun was completely burnt black. It's pretty obvious the employers here do not care about quality. I won't be coming back to this place.

    What's special about a boiled hot dog that is sprinkled with celery salt and a slice of tomato on top? Totally underwhelming.

My partner in food wanted to try the King Kong against my better judgment. Looking at the photos, it didn't appear conceivable - to make matters worse, he wanted it to go! It came deconstructed. Four HUMONGOUS beef patties and probably a whole pound of bacon and beautifully melted cheddar. The bun was questionable, mostly because it was nowhere near enough bread for all that meat, but I get it, in a challenge situation, I wouldn't want to load up on bread. The patties were well seasoned and firm. I would have preferred medium, but since I was sharing, well done was fine. Not over done and still juicy. It also came with a container full of steak fries! I admittedly put a hurting in the fries, dipping them in the house ranch mixed with the jalapeño ranch. I wanted the fries to be crispier and the ranch to be thicker, but they were delicious nonetheless!! So how much of it did we finish?? I finished one patty with out bread!! My partner finished one and a half patties with sandwich bread. The bun got designated to my leftover patty. Tomorrow's lunch will be a single patty burger with half a pound of bacon!

This is why my rating is only based on the food quality. Brisket and Queso $10 Smoked brisket, Dr. Pepper BBQ sauce, cilantro. A little too high for an appetizer, but the queso and brisket were good. I wasn't a fan of the sauce, the sweetness was a clash for me. The chips were also way too salty. The house salad $14 was an XL salad for sure! Everything was so good and fresh. They kindly brought me extra cheese and grilled jalapeños. The ranch was just right too! Downside: my patty was over-seasoned and overcooked. My partner purchased their most basic burger, the Waylon $12, the fries are sold separately. This burger was small, and once again, the patty itself was a disappointment. Texas sun cocktail was refreshing but just a simple pineapple and vodka mix.

With the…read morevintage movie posters on the walls, college kids writing formulas on the walls, an arcade, pool table, and picnic-table-style seating, it has a fun after-school hangout vibe. For lunch, I ordered the #9 Love Affair burger combo with sweet potato fries and added a side of onion rings. The sweet potato fries came in a good portion, which I appreciated. The onion rings, though, were $3.99 for only 6 rings, and that did not feel like a good value. The burger patty itself was the perfect thickness and cooked well, but it had almost no flavor on its own. The only real flavor came from the add-ons I chose, which were egg and pineapple jam. Because of that, the overall flavor just did not match the $22 price tag for lunch. Cool local vibe, decent presentation, but for the price, I expected a lot more flavor.

One day I decided to walk from my apartment on Bonnie Brae and Prairie all the way over to TWU, it was a lovely spring day I wanted to get the steps in. Upon walking into Burger Time Machine you are hit with the smell of delicious. If you don't know what that smell is you need to go to Burger Time Machine. On my first visit I had the Star Trek and I was hooked. During the remainder of my time at UNT I ate at Burger Time Machine once a week and have eaten every single burger on the menu. While I was in school it got to the point where the staff on Fridays knew me and I loved it. It was a very great mission I took on to eat every single burger but with a 6 mile round trip from my apartment to Burger Time Machine I felt like eating their was alright. I had to move for a job and then went back with my partner and she also says we need to go visit Denton so we can do Jazz Fest and other great Denton things, but we both know it's to eat at Burger Time Machine. If you're getting kind of fast food burgers / fast casual burgers / etc. at any other restaurant in Denton, you are doing a disservice to yourself. You should eat there and be happy that you live in Denton Texas and that you're able to eat at Burger Time Machine.

Maybe a Mediterranean style cuisine with shaved goat drizzled in tzatziki sauce with a Texan flair. I was wrong... but try gourmet burgers on for size. Burgers! Might I add- juicy, freshly made patties, and mighty tasty burgers! Man o man I loved the ambiance in a Friday evening. Came here with my son, who lives just across the parking lot at some urban apartments, and he was giving me his resounding endorsement so off we went. So glad I did! We both ordered the Bodacious Burger, layered in American cheese, bacon, heaping mounds of crispy onion, some grilled jalapeños, pickles, but I chose no BBQ sauce. Damn these burgers are thick thick thick and you can taste the homemade freshness with every bite. No frozen patties premade here. We ordered a single of hand punched fries dusted in parsley, salt, and Pepper. But, our waitress said it was enough for two, and she was spot on! Golden crispy fries were delish! I ordered their Old Buffagoat made with Buffalo Trace while my boy had a Vanilla Porter. All in all, great location, extremely friendly and immediate service, and more importantly, and no kidding- goatalicious with every bite!! As always, enjoy and Happy Eating!!
