Also Murf’s and Griff’s.

Man, is Murf’s Better Burger still around?  

I haven’t been there since the 80s.  Great burger joint!

[Cajun 11705]

My favorite growing up here in SA was this Austin Hwy icon.  Terrace Burgers were beyond the beyond bros…

 

[Cajun 11705]

Wait!  Check that.  My favorite growing up was at Frank Sill’s Snack Shack just down the street from Bun’n’Barrel…

Sandeez on 620 between Lakeway and Hudson Bend is fun on fridays.

It’s on West Ave next to Taquitos.

[Bbonds 3]

Small Cheval in Old Town is my go to. Better than Sonic and In and Out.

Ah, they moved from the San Pedro 80s location.

That was the only spot I knew.

Used to go to the one on East Houston with all the hookers in the late 80s and early 90s.

Nah, both locations existed simultaneously. I think the San Pedro location made it into the late 90's before closing. I always suspected the West Ave one was a laundering front like Fred's Fish Fry because it never had any business yet it remained open.

Had a buddy named Fred back in the day.  Every time we drove past Fred’s Fish he’d say, “Fred’s fish, any fish you wish!”

Sounds like a joke someone that went to Jefferson would make.

Griffs still has a couple of jiiints in Ft Worth. The last multi store chain that embraces grease.

That place looks like it could serve a mean g'damn burger

[RMac5 1551]

They do! Ate there earlier this week, double double, large tots and a coke, was damn good. I grew up in Amarillo and this place has been here forever. It sits a couple blocks north of Rt 66.

While those look tasty the bun should never be bigger than the meat.

FAIL !

[CooterBrown 18001]

They aren't tacos.  They are.....Chico's tacos, fried concoctions swimming in a liquidy red sauce with lots of shredded cheese.  They are an EP thing, and really only an EP thing, and I think they're awesome.  They are literally their own species of food, neither tacos nor flautas nor enchiladas.  And again, they are a great side with their burgers.

They were also briefly an Austin thing. RIP Chuco’s/Screaming Goat.

[DefinitelyNotHollywoodColt 12301]

Best thread on this site. Got damn.

[immamac 42832]

This thread slams and goes hard right now. 

[Hook1997 5351]

Snapka’s in Corpus has a damn fine burger, been there since the 50’s.  

[dcbc 14464]

Inspired by this thread, I went to a little Cajun burger stand yesterday. Not too shabby.

[Kermit 3156]

Ate at Health Camp in Waco. Didn't get raped.

There’s one on the Richardson/Garland border as well.  Probably ate there twice a week in high school as it was cheap af when we snuck out for lunch. It has rightfully reclaimed it’s place in my takeout rotation with the demise of Whataburger.

[Underdog 28543]

FIf you’re ever near New Haven, CT area, can’t recommend Louis Lunch enough, Top5 burger place for me... 

Ted’s is just up the highway a bit from New Haven, another good burger place... 

Steamed gooey goodness.

Charley's in FW

Went to Charley’s on Granbury for the first time in a long minute the other day. Would still rank OG Kincaid’s slightly higher, but the Project X burger was damn good. 

Also, their chili cheese fries are quite large. That’s a full-size tray. 

[Gil Bang 25907]

 

Out my way.  Along I-15 at State Highway 76, between San Diego and Temecula.  It's fucking amazing.  No indoor seating at all.  Owned by a Scottish dude.

The Spot in Carpinteria, CA fits nicely in this thread.

We still have one in Garland and I still hit it more than any other fast food burger place. 

[Don Johnson 4752]

If you've ever dropped your kids off at Camp Ozark, you've probably been here.

 

[Jerry Callo 8694]

Pick's Drive In - Cloverdale, Calf.  I like to hit the upscale places when visiting Sonoma County for wine tasting.

 

 

[Brisketexan 105039]

Man, almost forgot Husky Boy burgers in Laguna Beach, Ca. -- great spot.  Sea breeze, great scenery, and pretty damned good flat top griddle burgers.

 

They make a pastrami burger, too.....it's solid:

[Pescado_Rojo 19412]

Little Red Wagon in Round Rock closed in 2020. 

Which leaves Chili Willie's in Rio Hondo as my favorite greasy burger. It's a life saver after a day fishing out of Arroyo City. 

 

[Hmbre97 6304]

Little Red Wagon was legit. They made a good CFS sandwich also. I've yet to hit up Tio Dan's yet to see if the burger is the same.

 

This was our go-to spot when I was growing up in SETX. Damn good burger and onion rings. Place used to be called Dippity's Donuts but I don't think I ever had a donut from there. It's closed now sadly. It was in Lumberton.

I can't vouch for it personally but my parents recently went to Weir Country Store and said they had really good burgers and bbq. It's inside a Diamond Shamrock gas station.

Andice General Store is solid.

Man, you just beat me to it, as I was kicking myself for leaving it out.  Friends of ours (really good people) are the current owners.  It's a damned fine burger.

On a Williamson County jag --

Major's Burgers in Liberty Hill is very old school.  Never frozen meat.  Classic menu.  The family apparently has some other stores in Washington state.

 

[Anastasis 23454]

If we are going general store mode in this thread, I'll add Kendalia General store on 473, just west off 281.

Where else but a Texas general store can you get a fn chainsaw and a reasonable burger under the same roof.

Isn't that the place that used to have the storefront in the shape of a star?

If we're going general store, I had a pretty good burger at the Castell General Store.
