If you're going to put "Burgers" front and center on the sign at M. L. Rose Neighborhood Pub,…read moreyou're basically planting a flag. You're saying, this is our thing. This is what we do. Bold move. So I walk in thinking, alright, these folks have chosen their lane and they're cruising in it. Server comes over and asks how I want my burger cooked. Not prompted. Their question. I say rare. Now we're in business. Expectations go up. Burger hits the table. I build it out, get everything lined up, take the ceremonial first cut... Brown. All the way through. Not a hint of pink. Not even a rumor. This burger wasn't rare, it wasn't medium, it wasn't even medium-well. This thing had been thoroughly introduced to fire and then reintroduced just to be sure. I'm sitting there deciding if I just accept my fate when the server steps in, sees it, and shuts it down. Credit where it's due, she wasn't letting that slide. Manager comes over, apologizes, and asks again if I want it cooked through or with pink. Again, their question. I stick with rare. Let's run it back. Second burger arrives. At this point I'm less diner, more detective. Cut into it... and somehow, impressively, we have achieved the exact same result. Brown. Uniform. Committed. If consistency is the goal, congratulations, mission accomplished. Manager sees it this time. Offers a third try. I decline. I'm not here for a burger trilogy. I tell her I'll eat it as-is and we can all move forward with our lives. But wait, there's more. My colleague orders the bacon cheeseburger. Key word here being bacon. Not implied. Not optional. Literally in the name. Burger shows up... no bacon. At this point I'm starting to think the menu is more of a suggestion than a contract. Look, I don't get it. If you're going to ask how a burger should be cooked, cook it that way. If a burger has bacon in the name, maybe... include the bacon. Just a thought. Now to be fair, the fries were actually good. Crispy, seasoned, showed up and did their job like professionals. And the front of house staff tried. You could see the effort. They cared, they responded, they did everything they could to fix what was coming out of the kitchen. So here's where I land. Three stars overall for service, effort, and fries that understood the assignment. The kitchen gets one star. Not because they failed once, but because they proved, twice, that they can consistently ignore both temperature requests and basic burger ingredients.

I've never been to a whataburger before and they recommended I try the sweet and spicy bacon burger. I like the idea of a burger with bacon that's a little Sweet and a little spicy so I took their recommendation. Fast forward to when the food came out, this was definitely a burger that was worth of eating for lunch at approximately 1:35pm on a Saturday. I can't speak for how It would be at other times of the day but I have to assume it would be compatible. Overall the burger was filling, I would probably order it again. The fry's were appropriately salted and passed the bend test (where I hold a single fry and see if it bends), it remained rigid. Great experience, highly recommend this location.

The patty was thick and juicy, the bun was fresh, and the whole burger was delicious, not some skimpy, paper-thin slider like you get at McDonald's. Easily one of the best fast food burgers I've ever so far. The fries? So good! They're like McDonald's fries grew up, went to culinary school, and came back hot, crispy, and perfectly seasoned. So fresh! The store was nice and clean and the staff cooked my food fast (in a good way) Honestly, I don't get why some locations have lower star ratings, this experience was top-tier. If you've been on the fence about trying Whataburger, just do it. Pro tip: sign up for their rewards program and they'll hook you up with a FREE burger. No excuses now! 100% coming back. Whataburger just earned a new regular.

My daughter took me here because she has been several times and it is a favorite of my granddaughter. It was very busy when we got there but we got a table quickly. We had to wait awhile for our food but it was worth it. The best bar-b-que I have ever eaten. I had the baked potato with bar-b-rue on top of it and it was excellent. I couldn't eat all of it and it was just as good the next day. I will go back and highly recommend it. read more

The Mezcal drink was delicious, but the gin drink was my favorite. It had a little sweetness to it, but don't let that fool you because it will catch you off guard. Very good though. We ordered the pork chop with mac and cheese and a salad, and the catch of the day which was scallops with corn risotto. The pork chop was huge, but unfortunately dry and could've used more flavor. The orange topping sounded good, but I wanted that flavor to come through more. The mac and cheese was a hard no for me. Too bland and runny. The salad and honey mustard were good. The scallops were a little overcooked but still good, and that corn risotto was probably my favorite part of the meal. So much flavor. Would we come back? Yes. The music was diverse and the atmosphere is laid back. Next time we'll probably try something more familiar because those burgers coming out looked GOOD, and I want to try the wings too.

Unfortunately, that was the highlight of the meal (though I will say that their potato salad was also pretty good). I went with a pulled pork plate. Dor my sides, I went with potato salad and mac and cheese. Originally, I was looking at the onion rings, but I asked if they were made in-house and the polite young man working the counter replied that all the fried food was frozen. I asked if the other stuff was made in-house and he confirmed that it was. While I waited for my food, I noticed how small the place was. Not a big deal, but I did notice. The ambiance was not bad, though. My food came out pretty quickly. The mac and cheese, supposedly made in house, tasted more like it came out of a box (like Kraft macaroni and cheese). I guess technically even if it was out of a box with dehydrated cheese and you just add milk, it is theoretically still made in-house. Basically, the mac and cheese was definitely a huge let down. The potato salad was pretty good. I enjoyed it. This was the best thing on my plate. The pulled pork was also disappointing. I have to wonder if this was bought from a food distributor. Again, the young man working here was very friendly and professional, but the food was definitely lackluster. I really cannot recommend here.

You order at the front and the food is brought to your table, which keeps things easy and relaxed. The staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming, and the food came out impressively fast. The jalapeño popper dip is anything but standard. With cowboy candy (candied jalapeños) and a Thai chili drizzle, it hits sweet, spicy, and savory all at once. The pita chips paired perfectly and disappeared fast. The brisket was a standout--richly flavored with a thick, well-developed bark that clearly shows the care behind it. I'm notoriously picky about BBQ sauce, but theirs strikes a great balance between smoky, lightly sweet, and just tangy enough without overpowering the meat. You can absolutely tell this is a competition BBQ team. Even the cocktails are thoughtfully done. My Merry Mule was $10 and well worth it--boozy, refreshing, and nicely balanced between berry and ginger beer. A great spot for quality BBQ, cocktails, and an easygoing, family-friendly experience.
