Best Hamburgers

[K-Rock]

I love hamburgers. From Mom's and Ray's Diner in Lufkin to Bubba Burgers at Feuglars outside Marshall. Prince's Hamburgers in Houston (voted best hamburger in Houston two years in a row) to Juicey's in Longview.

I am on a quest for the best in Texas.....

What are your favorites?

[dada]

Princes is great....so are the Shakes.
If you're every in Houston and in 5th Ward...there is a little place called Adrians(right behind Wheatly HS)......biggest burgers you'll ever see. I have to eat it in sections.

My wife lived in Houston before we got married. Not there as much now, but I will try it. Thanks for the tip....:D

[dada]

Oh...Also in the Heights...close to Hogg Middle School and Reagan High School. There is a little stand on the Corner of 11th and Yale I think....called "Someburger"...During Rita...I was driving around town trying to find an ATM and some gas and I stopped there......not it's one of my favorites also.

My parents met at Prince's when he was on leave - he was dating her sister but dropped her like a hot rock. That was when Prince's was downtown and it was like American Graffiti. We went there with all my cousins the night the Astrodome opened (Astros v. Yankees). I was more excited about going to Prince's! My parents knew the Prince's and the Fingers families back then - they all went to school together and such.

My fave hamburgers are In 'n Out Burgers, Whataburger, and Chris Madrid's.

I'm a young Whipper snapper, but I remember the Old Prince's drive inn...I think it was on main behind the sears.

[CyFallsMom]

Yep that's about where it was. When I was a kid that place was still pretty hopping. I think there are a couple still left but at the time there was only that one and the one by Fingers Furniture. It was so much fun because it was a drive-in with skating car hops - the first car hops in the nation were at Prince's and they got a cover of Life mag which was a big deal then.

Chris Madrids off Blanco Rd. in San Antonio

I think there are two....One on I-10 close to Antoine and One on 59 across from Lakewood church. My son calls it the "Elvis place" they have a lot of Elvis memorobilla in there.

you can just about stop the list at Jucy's:D

Kellers on loop 12 in Dallas is good. Old drive inn. Cold beer.

Scotty Ps in Plano (and Allen I think).

Sam's Burger house at Preston & Frankford (NW corner) in Dallas.

[J-Rock Mom]

Chris Madrids off Blanco Rd. in San Antonio

Chris Madrids is great.
If you like the chain burgers I think Chester's is good also.

[drgnbkr]

I know Whataburger, but where are In'n Out and Chris Madrid's?

In & Out is a California institution...If they ever franchise it there will be a line for owners....They're now in Vegas and Phoenix...If your ever in LA, they're everywhere.

[rwilleby]

Cafe del Sol in Katy at Franz and Mason... It's a little Mexican food place with so-so mexican food... BUT their Chipotle Burger is the best burger I have EVER had... Relatives ask for it... Even ask us to bring them to them when we visit... If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and try one...

[gtown04]

My personal favorite would be from The Branding Iron. Its the restaurant on the newer section of Firewheel Golf Course in Garland, Tx. Bacon Cheeseburger on sourdough bread.

So good.

[trbandchic]

my favorite fast food burgers is where I work, Freddy's frozen custard and steak burgers. Yep made out of REAL steak... amazing!!


I like Biff Buzzbee's on 35 and Judson. In san Antonio. they are pretty good too.

:)

[CyFallsMom]

Madrid's is in an old converted gas station off of I believe San Pedro in San Antonio - we have to go through a really art deco type neighborhood to get there. In 'n Out is a chain out in California - the menu has 3 hamburgers, Single, Double or Triple, French Fries and maybe onion rings - that's it. They are like the burgers I remember as a kid over at Price's on Wirt Rd...just darn good burgers. That's Price's, not Prince's!! They had very good burgers and they were $.25 each so we only got to go if we were good because that was a lot of money when you factored in a family of 6!! Now, that price would be like stealing!

But Princes shakes are king.

[Firebird]

I love Prince's....awesome.

Koppe Bridge in College Station makes a mean burger.

There is a place in Graham, I can't remember the name, it makes a great burger. I think its the Dixie Cafe.

[CoveMom]

Mel's in Copperas Cove. Jucy's in Tyler. That place across the road from Fort Davis NHP in the Davis Mountains.

For Fast Food, gotta go with Whataburger.

I had forgot about Biff's, we go there every Friday when it is nice to show my husband's truck. Friday night classic car show.

[slorch]

I like Whataburger, but i'm not much of a "burger kind of guy"

I like them because they're always clean, friendly, and have consistently good food.

[unbiasedobserver]

I grew up in Lufkin and would have thought you could never beat Rays drive-in. However there is a hole in the wall place in Conroe called Burger Fresh. They are incredible.

[toddg]

hamburgers by toddg on the grill are the absolute best!!

[RATTLERS316]

Centerpoint Station-on the other side of I-35 of the Outlet Malls here in San Marcos.

Dan's Hamburgers-Austin
Texas Hamburger Co.-San Anotnio
Chesters-San Antonio
Fuddruckers are my favorites though
Sonic

[jtk1519]

Casino el Camino on 6th Street. End of list.

[big red & cujo]

braum's in tyler has the best burgers to me . juicy's in tyler is good to.

[#1DawgFan]

Uncle Dan's in Waco...used to be the smokehouse. #3 cut the onions............best chili-cheese burger ever. I stop by there every time I go through Waco.... have to use a knife and fork because its so messy:cool: Man I wish I had one right now!!!!!:(

[twcpfan1]

This is a chain but the hamburgers are damn good. White Spot Restaurants. British Columbia, Canada.

[DrEdward]

If we aren't restricting this to Texas, there is a small place in Blacksburg, Virginia by the name of Mike's. Under only a few names, it has been in continuous operation since the early 1960s. They serve a burger called a TDC, stands for Tech Delight with Cheese. Comes on french bread with lettuce and tomato and mayo if you like. Damn thing is unbelievably greasy and it is almost mandatory that it be consumed with an order of fries soaked in ketchup. If you ever get there, be sure to stop by. It is located at the end of the mall entrance to Virginia Tech.

And on that "out of Texas" note, may I nominate 5 Guys in the Greater Northern Virginia area. Several locations in the area including Alexandria, Richmond Highway near Fort Belvoir, and "down there by Potomac Mills" Mall. Grease is not optional, fries are cut dirty and fried fresh, and you must tell them what you want on your burger or it comes naked. Free peanuts to shell and eat while you wait. Best eaten in the joint as the grease will congeal quickly on the ride home.....:D

i know where talking about burgers here but has anyone been to texas roadhouse

[slorch]

yes, it's decent, if you've never been to Cagle's...

[rancher52]

I ran across a place that I would bet you never heard of and even if you found it you may not go in. It is called the Greenwood Grocery and is located in Greenwood, about 12-13 miles north of Decatur in Wise County. The town might have 50 people (I did not check the obits today so I might be off a little). It is an old time country store with a few grocery staples and a small grill. The hamburgers are great and the onion rings are quite a side. It is also a place where a handful of small kids come in after school, pick out some candy and the lady behind the counter (Linda) puts it on the family tab. It brought back memories from life a long time ago. I thought I would include the pic just so you would know what I meant when I said you "may not go in."

TEXAS ROADHOUSE got the best baked beans to me. ROLLS AND FISH ARE OFF THE CHAIN TO.

[ahsstud]

Schroeder's place in thorndale, tx. the best i have ever had. it's on 79 about halfway between Hearne and Round Rock. you're ever in that area you must stop in

a close second is larry's on N13th and Treadaway in abilene. they also have the best milkshake ive ever tasted. mmmm


ate at in&out when i was in southern cal last summer and it was pretty tasty, but not worth what i payed for it thats for darn sure.

Whataburger is the best fast food burger.

I would tend to agree with that one. Unless FatBurger is considered fast food.

I haven't been to Health Club yet...but I won some Double R burgers from ESPN radio once. They were pretty good...the building where they are made...not so much.:p

Double R also makes the "Bevo" burgers when the Horns are in town. :mad: not cool...

White Castle - - - - NOT!! But I do so love going into a White Castle...just a quirky little place. Go in and order a Bag O Burgers! My son loves them - can't figure that out.

Ive always heard they were good, but Ive never been to one. I have a cousin that lives in Pa. and he always said they were great.

[CCDawg]

Mel's in Copperas Cove.


Agreed. If you're ever in downtown Copperas Cove, I don't know why you would be, but if you are, don't leave without eating at Mel's first. Even if it's closed, wait for it to open.

their really is a white casle? i didnt know that burger joint really existed! :eek:

[CyFallsMom]

Yep, sure does. I don't know which one Harold and Kumar went to but we usually go to the one in Huntington, NY (near the Walt Whitman Mall on Long Island). We don't go out of our way to eat there when the best Pizza and Deli's in the world are just a hop skip and a jump away but the kids really like those little tiny hamburgers with the freeze dried onions on them. The buildings look like a little white castle too. Like I said, quirky little joint...and it is always packed in with people.

[farmerfan]

Best burger this drunk hasd ever had is denton independant hamburger a close second in in Lewsivlle called texas hamburger factory, right off of Justin road (FM 407)

[PaulinPlano]

My personal favorite would be from The Branding Iron. Its the restaurant on the newer section of Firewheel Golf Course in Garland, Tx. Bacon Cheeseburger on sourdough bread.

So good.

Will have to try that. I am playing a round at Firewheel soon...

I almost forgot... another burger location around here is the Purple Cow in West Plano. Kind of an old fashion malt shop. i have not been there in some time, but I remember good burgers and shakes. A little pricey but not bad.

[dragons06]

Believe it or not theres a Shell Gas station in Southlake that makes quite the hamburger and tater tots. Its off Randol Mill and 1709.

I enjoy Kincaids in DFW. I used to eat at the one in FW when I went to TCU. I think they just built one in Slake but I am not sure. In Houston I like Bubba's Texas burger shack.

I've been there and it is a good burger. It is a big type.

For that type I'd go w/what Farmer said and choose the Texas Hamburger Factory. Very good and worth the drive for those not real close by.

As far as small burgers, give me Al's in Arlington. Fanstastic.

Is the burger barn still there? Man we used to go there in high school...burgers were .55 and cheese burgers were .65. You could have a burger, chips and a coke for a little over a dollar. Oh, they were great greasy burgers. YUM!!!!

Is it still a small shack with about 4 or 5 tables in it?

[K-Rock]

Thanks guys. I'm making a list so as I travel I can check out these places.:D

[SV61]

All right guys,

One of these is off the beaten path, the other one just hard to find.

When in San Antonio, try Joe's hamburgers on Blanco Road. They are south of Fresno, close to Edison HS. HOLE IN THE WALL.

The other place is called Alamo Springs cafe. IF you ever go to see the bats exit at the railroad tunnel between Comfort and Fredricksburg (County Road number 9), there actually is a resturant located there. You won't believe the hamburgers (homemade buns, homemade onion rings, and homemade potato chips!!). Full menu and bar to boot!

I've been to Chris Madrids (very good), Chesters (good), Texas Roadhouse (good), Fuddruckers (good, but seeming to get worse). The two I describe are much better, in different ways. Joes is like a GOOD White Castle, while Alamo Springs is almost cartoonish, when it comes out (big burger). Both are very, VERY Good.

[pack4life]

Thompsons in Lufkin is freakin' amazing.

But the best burger i've ever had come from the little airport in Lufkin. They have a small resturant in the back. They are unreal.

[Sicemhorns09]

Is it still a small shack with about 4 or 5 tables in it?

it is still very small....i would maybe say now that it is a bit bigger of a shack with appx. 10 tables... it is still a great atmosphere

[GTown02]

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this place yet, but JG's Old-Fashioned Burgers in North Dallas has very good burgers...

Other than that, I personally love The Branding Iron @ Firewheel Golf Course.
