Earlier this week I noted that the Texas-based burger joint Mooyah was opening in Ygnacio Valley Shopping Center in Walnut Creek on Monday, but it turns out that permits didn’t quite go through so the few lucky who stopped by that evening were treated to a free dinner in order to train their staff. I’m glad I decided to go to Sports Basement that evening and checked it out. Mooyah may be opening as early as today if the permits go through but I would call to confirm.
I would say it is most similar to the Habit Burger and based on my meal, which was a burger with cheddar cheese, pickles, grilled onions, mushrooms, bacon, avocado and ketchup on a lettuce wrap (I know, how lame to have it on lettuce) it was quite good! The fact that you can add so many free toppings is awesome. Bacon and avocado are extra though. Check out the menu here. Another difference with Habit is that they bake the buns fresh at the restaurant. You can even see the buns baking in the photo above at left.
Check out the California welcome wall:
The milk bottle decorations are cool, and the blackboard doodle wall is a nice touch as well:
Check out more wall decorations including the “I smell milkshakes!” wall after the jump.
Love the cows!
If you like burgers try this place out and let us know what you think. I’ll be back for more soon.
