The Dallas Burger Bracket: Round 2

Best Burger in Dallas Round 2

Finding the Best Burger in Dallas: Round 2

The second round of our Dallas Burger Bracket is here, and this time, it’s a battle between the creative local favorite Rodeo Goat and the well-known burger chain Five Guys. We’ve gathered a panel of burger enthusiasts who rated each burger based on taste, ingredients, and appearance—the same three crucial categories that will guide us in our journey to find the best burger in Dallas.

Rodeo Goat: Bold Flavors and High Marks

Rodeo Goat is a Dallas staple, known for its inventive burgers and bold flavor combinations. Our panelists had high expectations going into this round, and Rodeo Goat certainly didn’t disappoint. Here's a breakdown of how each judge scored Rodeo Goat:

Rodeo Goat Total Average Scores:

  • Taste: 4.0

  • Ingredients: 4.1

  • Appearance: 4.5

  • Total: 4.2/5

Rodeo Goat came out strong in the appearance and taste categories, with high scores across the board. The ingredient quality was another highlight for Rodeo Goat, with most judges giving solid scores of 4 or 5. Our judges praised the freshness of the ingredients, especially the patty seasoning and the quality of the bun.

Five Guys: A Classic Favorite Faces Tough Competition

Five Guys is no stranger to the burger game, with a reputation for consistently delivering simple, yet satisfying burgers. However, this round showed that the chain had a tough challenge going up against a more artisanal competitor like Rodeo Goat. Here's how Five Guys fared:

Five Guys Total Average Scores:

  • Taste: 3.3/5

  • Ingredients: 3.4/5

  • Appearance: 3.1/5

  • Total: 3.3/5

While Five Guys managed to hold its own in the ingredients category, receiving some praise for the freshness and quality of its toppings, it struggled when it came to appearance. In terms of taste, Five Guys earned a mix of reviews. One judge gave a standout score of 5, praising the simplicity and savoriness of the classic burger. However, others felt the taste lacked the depth and excitement that Rodeo Goat offered.

And the Winner Is… Rodeo Goat!

With higher scores across all three categories, Rodeo Goat advances to the next round.
