5 /5 Arun: Was in the area and looking for a lunch spot when Muddbones popped up as a highly recommended burger joint - and the glowing reviews convinced me to give it a shot.
Our order was taken by one of the founders, Kyle, whose quick wit and humor made an immediate impression. As we waited in line, we got to watch the burgers being made - a nice touch that builds up the anticipation.
I went all in and ordered the Angry Opossum - a beast of a burger with double meat, double pepper jack cheese, bacon, grilled onions and peppers cooked in their smoky jalapeño sauce, all topped with their newest 6 PM sauce. It was phenomenal!!! Messy, flavorful, and hands down one of the best burgers Ive had in a long time. The messy table was a badge of honor.
Pro tip: Dont skip the Burger Magic spice. Sprinkle it generously on both your fries and burger, it elevates everything.
The restaurant is conveniently located off State Hwy 121 N with ample parking. The ambiance is divey in the best possible way - walls decked out with awards and accolades that tell the story of its burger legend status. Theres outdoor seating available, and the retro video game machines double as quirky seating areas.
Its clear that Muddbones is beloved by locals - the vibe is warm, welcoming, and has that family-run charm.
Will I return?
Absolutely. Id make the two-hour drive any day for another bite of that burger heaven.
