Would You Like a Side of Fries With That?

Because we can't be everywhere, and review every burger there is in central Texas - however much we'd like to try - ACS is offering a few side notes on some great burger places.  We're calling it Side of Fries.

For today's Side, we'd like to let you in on a little secret at River City Grille in Marble Falls.  The folks in this small folksy community can cook up a good burger.  And it comes at a pretty decent value.  Recently, I stopped by to taste the green chili burger.  The menu specifically pointed out how "spicy" the burger is.  Perfect!  Just what I like!

When the burger arrived, I found the burger smothered with green chilies atop the thick patty.  Props for presentation, River City.   The top bun came tilted, too, like how a gentleman tips his top hat to a lady.  That just shows how many green chilies are on the burger, and that you'd better ask for more napkins right away.  You just know this is going to be a messy one.

As impressive as the burger looks, the only disappointing element is the absence of the advertised spice!  All those green chilies for naught.  I thought I ordered something hot!  Still, for $7.99, the burger came at a pretty good price.  The taste still had kick to it, and with a side of mayo you can choose how you'd like to dress it up.

Oh, and speaking of a Side of Fries, the steak fries that came with this burger - fantastic.
