We had a sample of Gourmet Burger Grill's wares at last year's New World Wine and Food Festival's "Burgers and Beer at the Bin" event. They featured a delicious, juicy lamb burger, but we had never gotten around to visiting the actual place. We fixed that error recently.
We visited the shop near Huebner Oaks (in same strip center as Papouli's and Freebirds); they have another location at the Legacy shopping center (northeast corner of 281 and Loop 1604). Immediately their extensive menu impressed me. Not only did they feature traditional burgers and the aforementioned lamb burgers, kobe beef, ahi tuna, crab cake, and chicken breast make an appearance. Our favorite vegetarian recently declared this her "new favorite spot;" not only were there two vegetarian choices (portobello mushroom and a vegetarian burger), their lengthy a la carte choices allowed her to build her very own specialty burger.
Bruce's kobe beef burger was moist and delicious, and my chile burger (the day's special) was flavorful without being too messy. I appreciated that the lettuce, tomato, and onion appeared on the side. I'm not a huge lettuce fan, but I rarely bother to order without the lettuce. All burgers come on artisanal white bread; whole wheat bread and a lettuce wrap are available on request. The menu also features a selection of wine and beer.
Texas Monthly named their lamb burger #49 on their 2009 list of 50 best burgers in Texas. Well deserved! You ought to check it out!
