Review #5 -- Mytiburger

Sundays are a tough day to go on burger quests. So many of the top destinations for potentially heavenly burgers are closed or at least have limited hours. However, one Sunday in April KC wanted a break from studying, so she texted and a burger quest was born.

After a quick forum search, we decided that Mytiburger would be the choice, so I called Mytiburger to make sure they were open. The owner, Kathy, answered and informed me that they were indeed open. I then asked Kathy if she made the best burger in town -- her answer was a resounding instantaneous "YES!" Perhaps Kathy meant that a burger she made at home was the best in Houston, because Mytiburger certainly wasn't.

Here is the front of Mytiburger:





The burgers were pretty cheap. I don't remember the exact prices, I just remember it being in line with what I was paying everywhere else. The employees were incredibly friendly. The strangest thing about Mytiburger, however (aside from the 60s decor), was the obsession with Coca-Cola products. The walls were adorned with classic coke cans, bottles, advertisements, pictures, just about everything you could think of...there was even a gigantic stuffed Coca-Cola polar bear in one corner. I thought of trying to order a Pepsi for amusement, but then realized that tourists to the Mytiburger world (such as myself) probably do that routinely.

The burger itself reminded me of a slightly better version of What-a-burger. It seemed to be a 1/4 pound patty and had that distinct What-a-burger flavor, if just a bit fresher. The fries were quality. Needless to say, I was relatively unimpressed with the burger. Somehow, I forgot to take a picture of the burger, but at least you aren't missing much.

Final rating -- 5.

(For the record, KC also gave it a 5)
