It seems like everyone in Houston has been to Jax Grill. I know I’ve been there over a dozen times, but I’ve never ordered a burger. Instead I’ve always gotten fried shrimp or cheese dip there, both of which are above average for Houston.
SD was in town for summer break, and she requested we do a burger quest to Jax. SA was still in town and came along as well, but, as before, he did not participate by ordering a burger.
As Jax is known for, the food was ready seemingly instantaneously. The burger itself was probably between 1/3 and 1/2 of a pound, and it looked and smelled like it would have a quality char-grilled flavor. The burger did not disappoint on that end, as it tasted much like Two Rows, which I previously gave a 7 for its excellent char-grilled flavor. If I had to give the edge to one of the two restaurants, I’d say Jax was slightly better, though there was not much of a perceivable difference in taste. I was a bit happier with Jax because they didn’t leave all the fixings on the side (as I always order my burger plain) like Two Rows did. I suppose Two Rows is a much better place to take a date, though. Then again, I'm not sure ordering a burger on a date will get you very far.
The French Fries at Jax are lightly seasoned and heavily gross. It’s a good thing we’re not rating French Fries or Jax would take a substantial hit.
Final Jax Grill rating – 7
(For the record, SD gives the burger a 9) (CHECK)
