JC's Burger Bar - Coppel

I've known about JC's Burger Bar in Coppell for a while, but hadn't gotten over that way to give it a try. I finally made time to try it out and wasn't disappointed, but I was surprised at how much more they had to offer than the typical burger joint.

The menu offers a variety of specialty burgers (including a gluten free bun option!) as well as appetizers, chicken sandwiches, soups, salads, tacos and shakes, so there's likely something for everyone. The restaurant is larger than most burger joints, including a number of outdoor tables, a bar area and multiple televisions to watch the game. There's also free self-serve soft-serve as well as a small arcade in a separate room in the back. If you're looking for something new and have little ones, don't let the bar scare you off, as it's definitely more a restaurant vibe than bar.

On this occasion, I had the opportunity to sample the Jalapeno Sausage & Cheddar Burger and the BBQ Bacon Burger. We also opted for the onion rings. Their burger is a single patty - probably 1/4 pound with good flavor, that you can tell is fresh-cooked, and the bun and toppings are all good. While soft, the bun didn't fall apart, which I appreciate. Although the burgers were good, what really won me over were the Onion Rings! Crisp, not chewy, and a crunchy, peppery, well-seasoned breading. These are probably my favorite onion rings that I've had in the entire Metroplex. I may be back just for a plate of onion rings and a beer - be a good gameday snack!

There are also so many other items on the menu - including some pretty good-sounding shakes! - that I'll have to make my way back sometimes soon. JC's Burger Bar is definitely a place I'd suggest if you're going to be in the Coppel area and, if you're on the East side, they also have locations in Mesquite and Richaardson.
