Fast Foodies: Dallas' Burger House

For our latest adventure, we picked a fast food destination that is a staple in Dallas, Burger House.  We had read several D Magazine write ups that they were voted best fries , and my family had recommended it for a quick bite. We met up on a Thursday night and had the restaurant to ourselves.
All of their burgers come with the standard toppings of mustard, pickles, onions, lettuce, and tomatoes. You can specify how you want your burger, and there are other options for chicken sandwiches and hot dogs. Sara ordered the hamburger and I went with the cheeseburger, both of us adding grilled onions. We also ordered “Jack’s Famous Fries” to split.
Our meals cost us each less than $8 and the food was ready in just a few minutes. We started with the famous fries we had heard so much about. There is a special seasoning on these fries that makes you wonder what exactly it is. I tasted garlic, salt, pepper, and another herb I couldn’t place. Sara mentioned that they tasted like greek fries. The fries are really, really good. They are thin, crispy, and the seasoning is really delicious.  Also, they are not greasy. We both agreed that these were the best fast food fries we have had. A large order is $2.29, and that is a steal for how good these are.
 We then turned to our burgers. The buns are nicely toasted and the patties are very thin. Luckily, we weren’t trying to stuff ourselves so a single patty was perfect for each of us. The grilled onions were a great addition, and we both finished our burgers. The burger seemed lighter than most other fast food joints, and it was not greasy, which we liked.
When recapping our experience, Sara summed it up the best when she said “If In-N-Out Burger and Whataburger had a one night stand, this burger would be their love child.” It tasted as though it was light and fresh like In-N-Out, but with the more “Texas” flavor of Whataburger. I said that I preferred it to In-N-Out, while Sara said she preferred it to Whataburger.
Overall, we would definitely go back to Burger House when we want a quick bite. The fries are amazing, and eating the burger didn’t make me feel guilty. There are several locations around the metroplex, so there is sure to be one that is convenient for you!
