Trailer Birds 6125 Apples Way # 209, Lincoln Chicken • $$

“This place makes killer barbecue BUT they have changed their bread. It used to be a warm, soft, moderately dense roll of pure perfection. Now, however, they give you a half-assed, soggy, flavorless slice of “Texas toast”. The only other option is a brioche hamburger bun. I’m boycotting Dickeys until they bring back their DINNER ROLL. I used to get 3 extra orders because they’re the best. BRING THE ROLLS BACK!!!”

“Aragon Tavern offers the best burgers in the area, with gourmet options like the Aragon Burger and Mushroom Burger. The cozy, classy restaurant serves excellent beef on potato buns with flavorful fries and unique sauces. High-end steaks are also available for dinner. The atmosphere is sophisticated yet not overly fancy, with a nice patio area for outdoor seating. The service is excellent and the prices are reasonable, making it a great spot to enjoy a high-quality burger and local brews with friends. Parking can be found in metered stalls on the street or a nearby parking garage.”
