top notch burger at great price. looked up a short list of top rated burger places in irving. just so happened burger island was just off 183 where i was headed, so i stopped by.
was pleased to see 1/2 pound burgers all under $6 before tax. (btw, the menu posted here on us is old, they've gone up about 50 cents the menu you see on this page, but still a great price).
i asked the cashier which burger she recommended. the guy who had just finished his transaction turned and said "they're all good, can't go wrong". the cashier then recommended the big island. comes w/ mayo, mustard, lettuce, tomato, grilled onions and jalapenos standard. add in a 1/2 pound patty and a massive bun (the burger fills up an entire to-go container, pic uploaded), and for $5.75 plus tt&l this was theoretically (before tasting it) awesome.
when i opened my to-go container, there were grilled onions and jalapenos falling out all over the place. they don't skimp on ingredients here. (at the same time, there wasn't any ingredient that there was too much of, to dominate or take away from the burger's taste).
as is my custom, took a bite of the meat by itself to test its seasoning and a la carte quality. it wasn't seasoned much but was quite juicy. but...even though the meat by itself wasn't premiere, when combined with everything else it was a fantastic, delicious burger. and huge to boot. massive.
burger island on story ln in irving is a definite keeper, and definitely gets a pin-placement on the radar. burger quality excellent. priced to your (the consumer's) advantage.
i was intrigued by the pizza burger and a few others on the menu, and look forward to trying them.
if you're ever near 183 & story in irving, stop by burger island. tasty, economical, will fill you up.
