LSA Burger vs Mr. Frosty

What do you like?

Mr Frosty has the black cow shakes which pushes the scale in the Mr Frosty.  LSA is good if you can get into the place.

Just collected my season tickets and had a burger at Mr. Frosty. Good burger and black cow.

LSA vs Mr Frosty...well, really two entirely different experiences. One (LSA) is more of a sit down tad more expensive burger place. The other (Mr Frosty) is the old style drive-in burger experience. Both are excellent choices, but very different choices.

That being said, we have found the burger quality to have dipped a bit at LSA. Not nearly as juicy and flavorful as when they first opened and the slaw...originally so very good...seems not as tasty as originally served. Maybe it is just us...the view of the courthouse at night from the upper patio is still a “must experience”...especially at night...for any out of town visitor or local who has not, as yet, experienced it.

Can’t go wrong with either spot in my opinion...just totally different styles and experiences.

How long has LSA been there?

What was there before?

 

I will have to give Denton Co. Independent Hamburger a visit.

The original Denton Co. Hamburger was located in the space LSA occupies now.

Spot on assessment, Kram. Maybe Mr. Frosty could go and re-teach the folks at LSA how to make a burger.

Harry, John and I went there last summer after a scrimmage and season tailgate prep. It was great day to enjoy to  roof top, it was mid to upper 70s with a light breeze. 

I have burgers usually once a season they are fresh ground, choice grade beef 60-70%chuck and 30-40%bricket shooting for about a 75% meat to fat ratio.  I ground them and make the patties the night before. And ofcourse I always have my balls. 

[LongJim]

A note on LSA--I was in there a couple of weeks ago and asked about the patties.  They have changed since they first opened, and that was confirmed by the server.  He did say that they have always served never-frozen beef, but that they have changed their supplier from the original they opened with.  Still my wife's favorite burger in Denton.

Mr. Frosty is definitely old-school American Graffiti drive in.  And that's pretty cool too.

Yes, and to my taste they changed to a lower quality and less flavorful patty.  Was instantly noticeable.  Too bad, but, all in all, still not a bad burger.

Damn shame that nobody has mention RG Burgers or Burger Time Machine yet.

I like LSA but think it's way overrated. It's good, but not hour long wait good. Mr. Frosty is a great throwback

I like Roosters' burgers better than all of those.

LSA: you're paying-for/waiting-on the ambience.  The garlic fries are great though!

Mr Frosty:  ...like walking back in time.  Great for nostalgia.  Yummy shakes.

RG Burgers are good.  Plenty big.

I've only been to Burger Time Machine once.  It was OK.  May have to give them another try.

Me too! Once I see the line for LSA, I just keep walking to Roosters because I like it better anyways

We wired the original LSA before the expansion, and it’s a really great space.  The people that own and operate it (and have bought up the majority of downtown) are about as crummy as the burgers.

How so?

[southsideguy]

never had a burger at roosters , i have to order the pit sandwich.........little bit of everything.

It's a pretty safe bet that if I get stopped at the door by an eighteen-year-old girl with an iPad at the door, I'm just not going to bother eating there. Call me a luddite, but I find that whole "We're exclusive and you're old" mentality at the very first point of contact to be extraordinarily off putting.  

Never had that feeling at Mr. Frosty, though I've only ever had milkshakes there -- never eaten the actual food.
