Tonight, Big Guy and I planned to celebrate Valentine's Day together along with most of the rest of the country. We decided to go out to eat at a new restaurant in our area. Actually, it's a 3rd or 4th offspring of a place we love to visit. Featured on the Food Network's "Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives", the original Twisted Root Burger Company serves big, juicy burgers (made from your choice of beef, turkey, veggie or even kangaroo) topped the way YOU want them. Sides are baskets of fried pickles, sweet potatoes, onions or a combination thereof. There are special sauces on the table to give your burger a "kick". 5-gallon jars of pickles in various configurations line one wall of the serving area. Yes, it's a bit loud and honky-tonk/funkish. But it's also busy....very busy....with repeat customers standing in line out the door waiting to order.
That was NOT our experience tonight at the Fairview, Texas location. Granted, it's only been open a couple of months. However, it did not live up to our expectations at all. We will make the drive to Deep Ellum when the craving for a great burger hits. Convenience is not all it's cracked up to be. That's all I'll say about that....:(
