What is your favorite burger?
My boyfriend and I got the bright idea to try to find the best hamburger in the Dallas/ Fort Worth area over the weekend. I’m not sure we’re going to survive the test after trying our first spot – Wingfield’s Breakfast & Burger.
Winfield’s is known for it’s monster size burgers, so we knew going in this was not going to be for the faint of heart. When we got home (Wingfield’s is one of those drive up and order spots – think a diner with a counter and a grill, where you either go home or eat in your car), we were a little shocked at the size of the burger.
Now I’ve had bigger burgers(shout out to Stamps Burger in Jackson, MS), but after being on a kick of eating healthy, I was a little intimidated, lol.
We both ordered the single, bacon cheeseburger (Heaven help the soul who orders the triple!). I got onion rings. He ordered fries. I decided early on to just eat half of mine, but my fearless boyfriend said he was going in, lol. By the time we both got through our portions, it was clear that there was nothing good about eating a monster burger. Let’s just say our relationship got even deeper after having to suffer together through the digesting of all that beef.
Rating – 2 1/2 stars out of 5
The beef was too salty, and not in a tongue-tingling seasoned salt kind of way. Add in the bacon, and you have me with a sodium headache. The cheese melted off, so there was no cheesiness to enjoy. I will say they got that saucy-ness I love right – lots of mayo, mustard, and catsup.
Overall, great presentation and great potential, but the burger fell short of being what I was looking for - medium-well done, buttery, toasty, mouth-watering, yumminess.
I will say, the onion rings are on point. Even the non-descript crinkle fries were crisped just right. Too bad I came in for the burger.
Next up: Smash Burger; Angry Dog; and Kincaids
Now I am hungry and I don’t think the tacos will do.
