Good Luck Grill


Another fine find and an another fine Burger. This week brought me to Good Luck Grill, located in Manor and in the middle of nowhere. Good Luck is a country style restaurant located in the backroads of Manor/Pflugerville.

Overall the burger was Great, good presentation, very clean and fresh veggies and the meat and bread were at a good temperature. I was surprised to have liked the burger as much as I did. Overall value is very good, and the burger was very tasty. In addition to a great burger, there are other great fried foods. Dont go to Good luck if you are trying to avoid Fried foods as their fried foods are very tasty. They do have a few healthy choices, but if you are going to make the drive, stick to Fried.

Hardtails Bar and Grill (Georgetown)



Two saturdays ago, my wife and I made the trip to Georgetown to Hardtails Bar and Grill. I was told by my good buddy Mike Grant that this burger was going to change my life and I would be a new man, so of course I had to try it. He did tell me that this was a biker bar, and I assumed it would be smoky and dirty.

To our delight, we arrived and the building is like a barn made out of cedar. Pretty nice looking building. Inside the bar is really nice, very light up and TV's everywhere. They have an outside stage for music and they are booking Vallejo in April for a night concert. Overall the inside was clean and people were very friendly.

In my typical fashion I ordered the "Plain Old Burger". The price is very reasonable at $5.95.. When I received the burger, the presentation was very nice, very fresh produce and the bun was a sweet bun which I love. The best thing about the bun was that it was lightly toasted yet soft. The veggies were fresh and clean looking, and best of all, crispy. The meat was good, but not great. I personally like a flame cooked burger, and altough this was flame cooked, the meat could have been better. The fries were the thick style cut fries and had a bit of crispiness to it. Overall, I highly recommend this fine restaurant and burger. By the way, there are unique ways of ordering your burger, so make sure to understand the menu and enjoy. Hardtails gets a 7.5.



For you beer drinkers, there beer is ICE Cold and they have the large mugs, and when you receive your mug the ice is on the mug..

Cindy Gone Hog Wild Biker Bar on Hwy 71


This past Saturday, my journey led me to Cindys Biker Bar on Hwy 71 near Bastrop and close to Garfield, Texas. The Bar and Grill has a nice open spot with a lot of Tv's, pool table and gives you a feel of being at the beach.
Known for its burgers, we ventured off to Cindy's. When we arrived the bar was pretty busy and not many people on staff so service was a bit slow, but we did not really care since the day was so nice and were with Good friends.
I ordered the basic burger with Mustard, Ketchup, Pickles, Lettuce and Onions. This is my standard order for Burgers. Once I received my burger, the presentation was nice, but the produce that was showing was not the freshest. The food was a little cold, not too bad, but a little cold. The patty appeared to be a soy based patty and so before my first bite I was a bit skeptical. Once I took my first bite I was happy, and enjoyed my burger. The fries were good, they were extra fried and had a good taste, but a bit on the fatty side.

Overall, the burger was ok and my rating for this burger is a 6.0. I dont know if I would go out of my way again to Cindy's, but would stop if it was on the way.




The quest continues, next up is Andice in Andice Texas.. Stay tuned.
