    So the first one in town opened up yesterday and I tried it today

    It was pretty good, I would probably rank it up there at the top of the fast food burger list along with Whataburger

    much better than In N Out, not even close really

    fries aren't very good, really soggy and salty, but the burger with grilled onions and grilled mushrooms was great

    Its good but in terms of pricing, it seems much higher than In-N-Out and higher than Whataburger. Pricing getting close to restaurant burgers (tho a notch below maybe).

    True, but toppings are free of charge and they always hook it up on the fries.

    I get a double patty bacon burger with grilled shrooms, onions, and bbq sauce + a side of cajun fries and it's around $9.50. Not too bad, but definitely more expensive than Whata, though I find Five Guys much tastier.

    they also give you a lot more food

    the burgers are way bigger than In N Outs and they give you a ton of topping options and put a lot of em on your burger

    and they give you a TON of fries

    I dont mind paying a couple extra bucks for better and more food

    I dont live in Houston

    They have SnS in Austin. Overpriced puny little burgers with ****ty dry fries. I'm sooo happy I spent 8 bucks in order to be able to give this review.

    I have a problem spending 10 bucks on fast food for one person. I'd rather eat an entire medium pizza if I'm planning my double bypass.

    Real restaurant food seems like a better idea.

    It tastes the same as Mooyahs but more expensive. I still prefer In-N-Out.

    I believe in n out has a ton of off the menu options and if you want something bigger then you just have to pay more as well

    Probably gonna try it this weekend. Every Friday evening we eat the Fried Catfish at Canyon Creek Cafe, so maybe we'll sit this one out since both the fiance and I are sick.

    BTW- It seems like every time I get in the car to go pick up something to eat I always end up at El Tiempo or W Grill. I'm completely addicted to both. Just wish they would build a freaking Taco Bell SOMEWHERE over there. It's the only "fast" food I miss.

    I know they have off the menu stuff, but their burgers just are not as big as 5 Guys, I got 2 big and thick patties on my sandwich yesterday
