I've been to the one in Houston it's basically a nicer Fuddrucker's without the cookie section. It was okay. The shake was better than the burger. It's claim to fame is Bobby Flay is invovled with the chain.

I hope not. Fuddrucker's is horrible in my opinion. It's the Cici's pizza of burger joints.

It's nothing like Fuddrucker's.

I think it's closest to Mighty Fine if you have to make a comparison but never dry like MF has a tendency to be and with a bit better ingredients.

This is what their burger looks like.

Also, they actually give you lots of options for your burger unlike Mighty Bland.

Is it just me or is Mueller just a north version of Circle C? I'm disappointed to see that they're filling it up with a bunch of chain stores and restaurants.

master planned community + large house/ small lots + chain stores = another Circle C (might as well live in RR)

I think another Phil's Ice House/ Amy's combo would give the place a bit more character.

Yep, that's not quite what we were sold when the concept was put out there. But the big box stores were pretty much the first thing to go in, so by this stage I'm not terribly surprised.

I live in Circle C and at Escarpment Village, the shopping hub at the edge of Circle C, are many locally owned businesses. I don't feel like it's chain store central at all. Yes, there's Waterloo Ice House, which is technically a chain, but it's a chain in the same way that Amy's Ice Cream is a chain. We also have a Santa Rita, Satellite Cafe, and a few other local businesses like Austin Scoops (would prefer an Amy's though!).

Stop stereotyping Circle C! It's nothing like Round Rock, we have trees that are hundreds of years old in our 'hood. Plus, it's an 11 minute drive from my driveway to the parking lot of Town Lake on the weekend. Completely different feel.
