Lambert's Downtown BBQ (2nd and Guadalupe)

Just a short while ago the Burger Kidz and accompanying crew munched out hard down at Lambert's, current workplace of Alex H. and Reid. Lambert's is owned locally and has been open for a little over one year. I ordered a plain and dry burger [JST MEAT ADN CHZ!] which comes with a small serving of herbed waffle fries. Also we had a side of "Loaded" Mashed Potatoes and Green Chili Queso for an appetizer. The burger itself is fantastic, one large, fresh grilled, juicy beef patty, filled with onions and all sorts of extra seasoning inside. The beef itself is a 50/50 ratio of fat to beef, giving it an, albeit unhealthy, marvelous taste. The bun of the burger could use a little work however. It is quite thin to begin with, but once the juice of the burger seeps down, it becomes soggy and is really quite disgusting, although, in spite of that, the fries are a great plus. With little relevancy to Burger Kidz itself, the mashed potatoes and the chips and queso at Lambert's are the absolute best I have eaten at any restaurant in Austin. If you were to give anything at Lambert's a try, go in knowing it is slightly upscale, and you would probably want to tag along with one of the Burger Menz for a pimp discount.
I give the Lambert's Wood Grilled Cheeseburger and Waffle Fries a mouth-watering 8.5 french fries out of 10.

Alonzo's (51st and Airport)

Today, Burger Kidz took a trip to Alonzos, a small, locally-owned Mexican joint on Airport. Fortunately for us, they have a daily special consisting of a burger, fries, and a drink for an unbeatably low price. I had a simple burger with only cheese and lettuce, fresh cut fries, and a 7-Up. At first, I was quite content with my burger, but about half way though, I pulled something disconcerting out of my mouth; it was a six inch piece of white string that kind of resembled thick dental floss. As I pulled this out of my mouth, I decided I was done with my burger. My fries, on the other hand, were superb. They are made fresh - if you ask for "fresh-cut fries" - and they are thick, hot, and tender. While the burger turned out to be a disaster, the fries saved the meal!
I give Alonzo's burger 3 out of ten french fries and the fries a whopping 9 out of 10 french fries.

Player's (MLK and Guadalupe)

The Players burger I had was a bacon cheeseburger all the way without tomatoes, a good deal for the price but the burger itself was quite droll. The patty was covered with these odd holes that would turn off the hungriest of fat men and it was relatively tasteless. The onions were far too many and very overpowering, a sloppy conjunction of vegetables and condiments but the price was unbeatable and hard to come by for a burger combo meal. The scenery was that of a bachelor pad for a twenty year old bro, dungeon esque with sports games on the television sets. A perfect greasy spoon atmosphere. The french fries were exquisite, perfectly toasted on the outside and soft in the middle. The fries were fat and had character; really the obvious highlight of the meal.
I will give PLAYERS a not so stellar 5 french fries out of 10
