Review #8 -- Two Rows

KC, my trusty Burger Quest friend, had insisted that I go to Two Rows ever since I started Burger Quest over a month ago. She swore behind the Two Rows burger, insisting it was the best in town. After the Lucky Burger disappointment from lunch that Friday, I decided that Two Rows had to be an upgrade compared to my lunch, so KC and I headed that direction that night.



Much to my surprise, Two Rows is a Chili's-esque restaurant on the second story of the Rice Village parking garage multiplex. After seeing how new and generic Two Rows appeared to be, I began to doubt the quality of the burger (although I'm confident other menu items would taste great). KC continued to reassure me that I would be shocked at the taste.



KC was wrong. I wasn't "shocked" at the taste. However, she was right, the burger at Two Rows is indeed quality. For reference, Chili's burger would be a 3 or so, but Two Rows was significantly better. It had a great char-grilled flavor and almost tasted a bit like Annie's. Almost. It was a bit too thick and a good bit too dry. It also had a very "this burger wasn't made at this restaurant, it was frozen and brought in" look and taste. Still, I was pleasantly surprised at the good flavor considering that thicker burgers aren't usually my style. I would definitely go back to Two Rows, I just wouldn't make it a priority. I'd say KC wins this round, but that's mostly because I expected it to be a sub-5 burger when I saw the place.

Final rating -- 7 (really more of a 6.5, but I only give whole numbers)

(For the record, KC gave the burger a 10)
