Restaurants that absolutely suck

Plus, downtown Irving has a new multi-million-dollar McDonald's location that is huge and evidently quite state of the art. I haven't been there yet.

On another note, I tried Burger Island today, and I was quite pleased.

The name itself gets me just a tad bit excited... Burger Island..

So that's why they tore down a fairly nice McDonald's that still had a red caboose in the back. To build a newer one.

Weird.

That new Mickey D's is the second largest McDonald in the US

7800 sq ft.

I think it's part of a large revitalization project Irving is taking on for its downtown. I'm guessing that the city footed part of the deal.

Burger Island is okay...some of the stuff on the menu is great...some not so great...just depends on what u order

Burgers-ok
Philly cheese-not so okay

I know I shouldn't have order a cheesesteak from a burger joint, but hey they shouldn't sell it if they cant make it

You talking Glade & 121?

Burgers are very good, but the times I've been there the service has been so bad that it was a brutal experience - and I'm not picky at all when it comes to that. I'll tolerate a lot. It has been incredibly slow every time, like the griddle only fits three burger patties. Once, the girl bringing out the burgers spoke so little English that she couldn't even tell us what each burger was. And that's not a language thing - it's a giving a shit thing. Anybody who cares even a little bit can memorize the name of the top 10 items on any menu in any language.

The Burger Island I went to was a new one, at Preston and Beltline. Interestingly enough, the service was indeed quite slow. It was about fifteen minutes wait for the burger. The people were nice, though.

I know I've mentioned it before, but I like the place so much that I will mention it again. BurgerBueno at Coit and 635 churns out some really, really good burgers.

Thiggy, do you still play at Twin Wells? I cut my teeth on that course, but anymore I can't put up with it. I'd live with the conditions if it were priced accordingly, but it's not.

No, that was in the past. I worked there during high school so between working and playing (for free!) I was there an awful lot.

I still play out there every once in a blue moon because it's really nice to play a course that I know so well, but it's really gone to pot, and just like most American Golf owned courses, it's over priced.
