Known primarily as a steak house where the beef is cooked over a mesquite grill, there are currently two Logan's in the Cincinnati area. You can find your nearest Logan's off their website at http://logansroadhouse.com/Default.aspx.
They have an extensive menu that is heavy on steak and ribs but has offerings for just about everyone. In fact, they have six burgers alone. Add to that a bucket of peanuts at every table and it's a good bet that customers are going to walk away full.
Burgers
Sticking with our regular program we ordered up the basic cheeseburger with our choice of condiments. Logan's refers to their burgers as steak burgers since they are a blend of Black Angus sirloin, chuck and steak (wait, isn't sirloin a cut of steak? What other kind of steak meat are they using here?) and include what they call natural spices.
The burgers arrived on a grilled bun, plump and juicy. One bite and you can taste the quality meat and the added flavor of the mesquit wood. Trust us, when we grill burgers out in our back yard we will use a combination of hickory and mesquit wood. There's something about the smoke that cooks into the meat giving it that extra quality. Don't get us wrong, a good flat top grilled burger can be amazing but the wood can really kick it up a notch or two.
But beyond the wood flavor there isn't much that separates this burger from any of the others at similar restaurants. Yes it's good, quite good for a chain burger in fact, probably one of the better chain burgers we've had, but at the cost you can do better at one of our favorite local joints. And save some money, too.
Still, if you live fairly close to one of the two Logan's (near 275 and Colerain and at Eastgate), you should give this restaurant a try. It's worth checking out if only so you can toss your peanut shells on the floor.
