Triple A Restaurant has been in the same location since the 1940s. The restaurant is definitely showing its age, as is the factory it’s connected to. We talked to the owner a bit as we came in, and then we walked to the seating area. Of note, if you go here, you’ll feel like a giant next to the bar and stools area. They must be no more than 2 feet off the ground.
The interior is very reminiscent of Barbeque Inn, which makes sense given that they’re pretty close to the same age. It was nowhere near as crowded as Barbeque Inn, though. Triple A had 2 flavors of burger, so I ordered both (I also got the fried shrimp to sample): the fresh meat patty that they make each day and the frozen patty that’s a bit cheaper. The fresh patty is about as thick as two frozen patties, so I ordered a double meat burger for my frozen part of the order.
Here’s a picture of the fresh meat:
And here’s a picture of the frozen meat:
Predictably, the fresh burger was a full point better than the frozen burger, though it was more texture that was changed rather than the flavor itself. The fresh burger tasted fresh and had a strong “ground beef” flavor. However, its ground beef flavor was rather bland. The frozen burger featured two 1/4 patties which tasted a good bit like a below average version of Whataburger. If you’re wondering, the shrimp wasn’t worth returning for – it tastes like another place I’ve had before but just can’t put my finger on. The French Fries were very average, but definitely edible. One thing I will say for this place is the waitress and the owner were both some of the friendliest people I’ve met on Burger Quest.
Final Triple A Restaurant Fresh Burger rating – 5
Final Triple A Restaurant Frozen Burger rating – 4
(For the record – SA had the pork chops and did not participate in this burger quest. Also for the record, I told the owner I would give her hamburgers 7s because I felt guilty…alas I cannot lie to the true followers of Burger Quest 2010.)
