We had big expectations going in based on the positive reviews online. The fact that there was a big-bellied fella sitting near the window as we pulled into the parking lot was another good sign. Unfortunately, Texx Big Burger in Surrey was a big disappointment. None of us was prepared to stomach the whopping Super Texx Burger — a monstrous burger with three 10 oz patties for $22.99 — but a few of us did try the Texx Big Burger, which has three 5-ounce patties for $12.99. The consensus seemed to be that the patties were a bit thin and dry and that it had the taste of a glorified McDonald's quarter pounder. The sesame buns were also spongy and we didn't particularly care for the process-y cheese. On the plus side, we all agreed that Texx Burger offers some of the best fries we've ever had and you get a mountain of 'em.
Basically what you'd expect from a strip-mall burger joint. It's got tables and chairs and, on the night of our visit, a flat-screen TV tuned in to Entertainment Tonight. The bright yellow walls are adorned with photos of smiling customers who conquered the Super Texx Burger.
SERVICE
Guy behind the counter was very friendly and took the time to walk us through the menu. But the fact that he had to explain the differences between burgers was laborious and seemed inefficient. Also, there was something off-putting about seeing employees go to the Greek place next door and bring back some pasta to eat in the main dining area.
VALUE
Yes, the burgers are large and will give your jaws a good workout. Yes, there's a decent selection of free toppings, including lettuce, tomato and mushrooms. But we can't honestly say you're getting a whole lot of bang for your buck from this eat-out-of-the-paper bag joint.
Summing it up, eating at Texx Big Burger is like a daytime drive through Whalley in a Mustang II with Alan Thicke in the passenger seat and the 24/7 celebrity gossip station on the radio. (Visited on Dec. 18, 2013).
