M&m grill

"If you aren’t keeping an eye out for it, you might easily drive right past M&M Grill in the Medical Center. The modest halal restaurant has Mexican and Mediterranean food, but it’s also home to gargantuan burgers and crispy fries. Maybe you want your double cheeseburger covered in melted american cheese and a spicy house sauce. Or maybe you prefer yours smothered in swiss cheese with a pile of fried mushrooms below the burger. Even though the burgers alone are worth doing a slow creep down Almeda Road to find this place, we stick around for the golden, salted fries and the onion stacks which is essentially a basket of deep fried strips of onion." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene

"This no-frills restaurant fuses Tex-Mex and Mediterranean flavors, and uses halal meat in its dishes. Find a diverse menu, featuring fajitas, loaded cheeseburgers, shawarma plates, and falafel sandwiches." - Sean Hekmat, Kayla Stewart

"M&M Grill has just about everything. The modest halal restaurant has Mexican food, Mediterranean food, as well as dependable burgers and crispy fries. Inside, there are about 10 tables that are usually full of U of H students discussing their latest chemistry quiz and the ambient sounds of metal spatulas flipping burgers on flat-tops. While your order here could go in many directions, we have a penchant for the mushroom swiss burger, because the cheese is perfectly melted between the double patties burgers, and a pile of onions and mushrooms sit under the meat like a support system. " - Gianni Greene, Chelsea Thomas

"Although most people are grabbing burgers, M&M Grill in the Medical Center primarily serves Mexican and Mediterranean food. It’s also where you’ll see U of H students camped around tables after their classes getting the most bang for their buck with a mammoth burger. Get a combination plate to work through or go handheld and get a giant swiss mushroom burger that's piled high with shredded fried onions. And with a small mountain of fries in tow, you can enjoy your full meal all by yourself." - Gianni Greene, Chelsea Thomas

Inside, there are about 10 tables that are usually full of U of H students discussing their latest chemistry quiz, with the ambient sounds of metal spatulas flipping burgers on flat top grills. The menu is straightforward, with four types of burgers to choose from, and you should get the loaded swiss mushroom burger, with perfectly melted cheese between double patties, alongside a pile of crispy fried onions and mushrooms that sit under the meat like a deep fried support system. photo credit: Richard Casteel photo credit: Richard Casteel photo credit: Richard Casteel Food Rundown photo credit: Richard Casteel Loaded Double Cheeseburger The tender loaded double cheeseburger is covered in melted American cheese, drizzled in a spicy house sauce, and given a bed of crispy fried onions to rest on. photo credit: Richard Casteel Loaded Swiss Mushroom Burger The swiss mushroom burger here follows the same double-patty protocol as the loaded double cheeseburger, but swap out american cheese for swiss, and add in fried mushrooms as a buddy for the fried onions. photo credit: Richard Casteel Onion Stack After having a taste of the crispy fried onions on the burgers, you’ll understand why they're sold by the basket like the fries. Have them with the house ranch or eat them alone by the handful in- between burger bites. photo credit: Richard Casteel Chili Cheese Fries Basket A heap of crinkle cut fries, seasoned chili, and a river of melted cheese that we’d like to paddle down join forces to create the chili cheese fries basket. The basket is big enough to be its own meal, so bring a pal if you need backup." - Gianni Greene
