It'll be a while before you get another one of these

That sucks. I haven't been there, but my Dad loves it. Apparently they used to have a sign that said "Beer, Andice".

Diablo Burger from Fred's is my hands down number 1. 

 

Also do yourself a favor and get a Herd burger in Jacksboro. Actually get two and eat the other one for lunch the next day. Best reheated burger on Earth. 

Let me have a diablo sandwich, a Dr. Pepper, and make it fast. I'm in a goddamned hurry!

There used to be a place in Houston on the frontage road of I-10, westbound, I wanna say it was between the beltway and Brittmoore Rd., dirty, dirty place. I mean, the mini blinds were just covered in grime. Well, anyway, the burgers there were excellent. Sadly, it closed years ago. I take it that that’s the “best Texas burger” that surly is interested in discussing, right? Like, places such as Rodeo Goat need not apply, amirite?

Dairy Treat in Victoria was a favorite growing up visiting relatives. Old school drive up

Sadly it's fallen off. I wouldn't even put it in the top 10 burgers of Waco anymore.

Cupp's on Speight was a great greasy spoon once upon a time. They've cleaned a lot of the grease off of the interior but it's still pretty decent. Pepper Jack Bacon Burger with an egg? Yes, they do that.

I try to get over there once a month if there's a booth to sit in. If not I'll go over to LaSalle and get a taco.

That's that place just outside of New Braunfels, right? Yes, it's legit.


Also legit: Real Deal Soul Food, Weimar, TX.

Sam's Deli Diner?  If so, they moved to Kirkwood and 10.  Then Henry, the owner, up and died a few years later. The joint is still operating.

Somebody mentioned Ed’s in Taylor. Great burger.

[NoRagrets 1125]

Redbud Cafe in Blanco, TX

[Ten Bears 2480]

In the small chain category, Mooyah has a tasty burger.  Good fries too.  They''re based out of Plano.

had Dubl-R last Friday and was reminded of how a proper burger in this town stands up.

Waco has some legit, old school burger joints.

All of Duble-R, Dave's, and Captain Billy Whizzbang's use some spice that I don't like at all. It seems to be a well made burger though.

 

Give me Cupp's, Christi's, Tom's, or Kitoks and I'm happy.

For the dive place that's been around forever -- is Broiler Burger in Bellaire still there?

That it is. Haven't been in quite sometime, but can't go wrong with the chili delight burger.

I used to go the one in Flower Mound, and they did a great job. Fries were great, and never any shortage of them.

So who's gonna make the Google map?

[gsoda3 3245]

BTW JC's in plano on 15th and independence is my favorite. Medium rare of course. They have other locations but that's the original and best.

Yep, I was wondering if I'd see Sam's mentioned in this thread. I haven't been since the late 80s / early 90s, but I certainly remember them having a damn good burger there.

We used to eat at Sams in the early 90s. Legit contender for top burger.

Must be location based. The one on Mesa in N Austin is disappointing

Yeah, one regular order of fries is enough for two.  Get the green chile queso to dip them in.   Actually their burgers might suck except for their mushroom burger because that is so good it is all I order.  With grilled jalapenos of course.  I am not an animal.

[BayouBill 835]

Maybe not my all time favorite but the Texas Burger "chains" they have in a few small town is pretty solid. Better fast food burger than Whataburger.

Place is legit.  Too bad that overpriced overhyped Bennie's Busbarn or whatever is around the corner paying for the Chronicle to name it one of the 50 best restaurants in the history of the world or whatever.

Bernie's Burger bus is good IMO, for sure not top 50. You can't beat old school Broiler Burger though. Maybe I'm biased since it has nostalgia for me. That was the hangout spot after little league games as a kid.

Always loved Top-Notch when I was in HS.  Later, in the metroplex, Deliman in Coppell with tots was a magical hangover cure.  Also a fan of Kenny's in Frisco.  

[Zepol87 9185]

Bells better burger in Balch Springs/Mesquite is pretty badass.

Small town whataburger should be a separate category from city whataburger. Those glorious sons of birches take pride in their work, it’s really a different restaurant. 

Warm (not over) toasted bun, melted cheese, a balance of condiments. Most importantly the meat is hot and has a char grill snap from the griddle.......

Don't go to the one in Malakoff you'll be dissappointed. The Meth heads cant cook a burger for shit. 

[futureman 22444]

meth?  in malakoff?

[Kyrie Eleison 9312]

if you're ever in Nacogdoches, you'd be a fool not to stop at Butcher Boys for one of their burgers.  to this day my all-time favorite.

I have the opposite opinion.  Whataburger in Mineral Wells & Cuero sucks.

[VolenteHawk 495]

The best Whataburger on the planet is Lake Conroe. It’s constantly there to console you after Walden kicks your ass for 18 gloriously brutal holes.

Honorable mention to drunk runs to the Port A location. I’m sure that one sucks, but I don’t really have a memory of it.

 

[deft 6837]

I grew up with the Mexia Whataburger’s criminally undercooked french fries. I still forgive them as they had best chain burgers in town.

[Woland 732]

I'm not saying they are the best, but they are damn good:

The One and Only - McKinney

The Loft - Whitewright

I love it that your honorable mention for best whataburger on the planet is one that you’re sure probably sucks.  made me laugh.
