Burgers @ OC Burgers
*Cue the mournful violins*
Usually on the little dish, we like to only post reviews that are favorable or notable, maybe a little critical, but of places worth mentioning. Consider this a departure from that. The other day we decided to try OC Burgers on a whim. (The primary reason being that it looks completely nuts from the freeway as you pass it.)
The strange, fun house exterior should have been a tip off, but we really do believe that you can find delicious food in unexpected places. Let it be known that OC Burgers: “Salads, Burritos, and More” isn’t likely going to be one of those places.
On the menu is everything from breakfast plates with french toast to chicken teriyaki bowls and carnitas burritos. Being our first visit, we went with standard fare: chili cheese fries and the signature OC Burger. The chili cheese fries were disappointing—passable at best. The burger was delicious-ish looking but ended up being a bit tragic. The undercooked, doughy bun couldn’t make it through half the burger and it became a sloppy mess. (Have they tried to eat one of their burgers?) Worse than being messy, it just wasn’t that good. The burger lacked anything special that would make it something worth coming back for. We left feeling pretty sad.
Apparently Patricia Rodriguez from the Star-Telegram went there and had a much better time. Could we have caught OC on a very off day? Possibly. But we kinda don’t want to try them again to find out.

So, the picture is the best thing about the burger? I mean, it looks good. Too bad.
In defense of the OC, everything I have eaten there has been good. Messy burgers are usually the best. It’s not the best burger I ever had but best one around for the price. It is far superior to any chain fast food burger. The fries are also much better than the thin shoestring type.
Anyone can make a great burger for $8 (I,e Pappas Burgers) but for $1.99, you can’t go wrong.
Well this burger definitely didn’t cost 1.99 and it wasn’t that it was messy, it was that the bun seemed to turn back into dough and without a good bun, you have nothing.
The burger I ate was 4.99 and I can think of plenty of better burgers for that price. The 1.99 burger you are talking about is for a basic hamburger no cheese. Oh, you want cheese, well now it cost 2.99. A whole dollar for cheese, that’s just ridiculous.
