Stopped in for lunch at the new Moonie’s location today. They have only been open six days. The place was busy, almost all the tables were full. No problems with service though. Looks like they have it down. Order at the counter, they bring you the food. It’s a large restaurant (seems larger than their Cedar Park location). Nice space on the corner of the strip mall, so lots of windows.
Burger and fries were about how I remember them from my first visit to their Cedar Park location almost two years ago. Bun is sweet. Patty is 6oz., griddled. Cheddar available. Fries are crispy-coated frozen-ish fries. Bun top-toasted. Overall, burger was OK, but very dry unfortunately. Bottom bun suffered from Dry Bun Syndrome, which did not help. Fries are good for what they are. Onion rings looked good but I did not try any (pricey at $2.99).
So overall, a decent but not great burger in a pleasant atmosphere. A nice option at least to have up here in North 183 Land.

As delivered to the table

Under the hood--note very nice bun toasting

Top-Toasting Detail--a nice touch

Cross Section...too dry!

Too dry, too round, weak crust

Pleasant digs

hey chris…we are now open in that location. Its a smaller but “cozier” place than our other locations. We are testing a few different things over there. We have a family meal deal for $21.99 that feeds two adults and two kids…we have a happy hour from 4-7pm everyday. ALL bottled beer is $2. One of the best deals in town! And for you we offer either sliced or shredded cheddar (asked for shredded) to top off your burger. Thanks for letting people know we are open…. brian (owner)

Thanks for the info Brian, and thanks for the Cheddar update! Two varieties of cheddar–that’s even better. Will have to get by and give this location a try.

I am at that location quite a bit so let me know when you are there..would like to meet you. remember you can get extra mayo etc. if you want it on your burger. Your one of the few that has said we had “dry bun” syndrome
Nothing worse than dry buns.The bun is usually one of the things we receive great reviews on. Look forward to seeing you and thanks for letting people know we are open. It really helps us smaller guys. brian
