Best hamburger in Texas?

[deemus]

The Windmill Grill in St Jo is good too and the ladies grind their meat every day.

It sounds dirty when you say it.

We used to have a little drive-in burger joint in town many years ago, called Heck's Drive-In. It closed down in the late 1970's. Wife was telling me the other day, that the former owner's grandson and daughter are going to re-open it back up, as Heck's again. with carhops and a menu like back in the time when his grandfather owned the place.

I do remember they had some awesome burgers and the onion rings were just great too.

I've tried some of TM's bbq likes and some really suck.

It is a pay to play list, not an actual test of the best.

The way you started the sentence, I thought maybe you had Mike Tyson write for you I was waiting on the number five.

Honestly, I think the best burgers come from the many smaller places, where they make their own patties and cook them to order. Many of these are going to be close to home and will never get national attention for the most part.

That has been my experience, and it is great to go into small town and find one.

Texas is TOO BIG to have only one best! We should do this geographically, i.e., The Panhandle, The plains, North Texas, East Texas, The Piney Woods, The Hill Country, West Texas, The Gulf Coast, DFW, Houston, SA, Austin......

As is the place in the article in the OP.

Had a couple of very good burgers lately, one at Kincades in Arlington and another at Tejas in Tomball. Too many great burgers to declare one or the other the "best".

Don't laugh, but the best chain store burger I like is from Chili's. Just order medium rare. I wish they still had their orange blossom onions.

Was there ever a sambos in texas?












What not funny?













They had good burgers for a chain even if they had no self awareness. But they died in the 70s so. They would be smoking heaps today and appropriately so. Good food though.

Old Timer is a great chain store burger.

Don't laugh, but the best tv burger ad is Carl's Junior. Doesn't taste as great as it looks.

Yes; I wasn't overly impressed. And didn't go back.

 

[HKSig]

I’ve been to 36 of them and can confirm.

I agree; I've been to a bunch and a few shouldn't have made the top 50. But, maybe they had a really good day that day. Or got to go from Tejas.

 

[HKSig]

I need to try it. I tried the highly acclaimed Tejas BBQ, and it was a let down.

There are days when something isn't up to their usual there, but out of the x (very many, I can't reveal the number for fear of self incrimination) times I've eaten there, most have been very good.

I don't go out to get burgers, if I want burgers, I cook em myself. There have been a few burger places that had good burgers, like Juicy's, Texas Road House and the Butcher Shop, but none compare to my burgers. But here's the deal, I season to MY taste and cook it to MY liking. Most burger joints have to cook it a certain way to appease everyone. If I go out to eat, it's going to be something that I don't cook often.
