How do you include Jax in with the other two?  I haven't had Christians in a long time.  Has their quality held up since it sold?  Hubcap should also be in the discussion. 

[mycox 582]

Christian's has not been affiliated with the original for years now. Even before it closed. Average burgers.

Never been to Stanton's. What should I get?

jax burgers ≠ jax grill (which has terrible burgers).  can't speak for the first place.  been looking for a replacement for christians.  

[Eddyline 116]

Really feel like slumming it? I humbly suggest Wild Kitchen on Stella Link. Each cheeseburger includes a complimentary cardiologist visit, provided that you don't get rolled in the parking lot.

I have only been to Stanton’s once and although the burger was good the bun was a bit off.  Must have just gotten a bad one.

Has anyone been to Langford Grocery lately?

[Poolflood 845]

Killen's burger place is first rate.  

[Lobwedgephil 1,139]

Jax burger is laughable as being a top burger, jeez. I do really like Stanton though. 

My top three are Petrol Station Rancor Burger, Hubcap Grill, and Bubbas Texas Burger Shack. 

[SMUlawUTgrad 81]

Hub cap. We have a place in clear lake called tookies that the family likes quite a bit. It’s alright.

Ha, shit my man, Tookies is pretty famous in Houston in its own right. 

 

Also, to the ooster asking about Langford, it hasnt been a tip too burger in years. 

 

R.I.P. Totem indeed

It's been a while since I've been to Lankford.  I need to fix that.

They closed their old building and opened across the bridge in a bigger building. We haven’t been yet, but it’s always busy.

going to put in a vote for Bubba's Burger Shack.

[heinhorn 16]

My problem with Bubba's is no french fries.  When I'm getting my fat on, that's kind of a deal killer.  Good burger otherwise though.

I would also like to submit, Sams Burgers, Pies & Fries on Dairy Ashford.  Haven't been in a while, but it's solid.

[NOMAAA 1,696]

had a pretty good one up on tc jester.  cant remember the name of the place though.  better burgers in dfw anyway.

I hear that, but the jap potato salad more than makes up for that, at least for me. Also I will agree with you on Sam's. A very good burger and a great price if I remember.

[Patricio Swayze 17,058]

Is Stanton’s still top dog?  I loved it when it was still a shitty convenience store. Went a couple of times after the remodel and menu changes, enjoyed it but not as much. Haven’t been back in a couple years. 

[mbtex 683]

It still is good but I liked the atmosphere better when it was a convenience store.

Sam’s Burgers on Dairy Ashford is solid. 

[Hiphopopotamos 20,869]

I know its the suburbs - but Fanoosh Biryani & Burgers in Sugar Land is incredible.  They just opened a couple of weeks ago.  1/2 and one pound burgers to go along with goat biryani.

Just down the road from me and is a very good place.  The pie is a plus for me.

Yeah, the one they're talking about and Sam's Deli Diner at I-10 and Kirkwood.

No, I am thinking of the one on dairy ashford. A few blocks from my office. The one on Kirkwood is pretty good, but I prefer the pie place. 

Edited March 27, 2018 by Patricio Swayze

[Smax 3,800]

The deli diner used to be on the north side of I10? their burgers arent bad pre formed which is kind of ding IMO and the jalapeno bacon chicken is pretty good too.

Tookies isnt worth the drive if you are coming from Houston, its good but there are similar if not better options closer in.

Miller's cafe deserves a mention and the old timer w cheese from chilis is hard to beat....

Yeah, that's the one "they're talking about".

As for the one in Mirkwood, Legolas does make a pretty good burger.

Hahaha. Nice. I also like how my phone autocorrected an English word into a Portuguese word. Apple, get your shit together!

Were the fries burned? Did it take over an hour to receive your food?  If yes, then it was Petrol Station.

Thanks for reminder. Tookies is legit.

I have unrealistic fond memories of a place called Hamburgers by Gourmet, which was located on the south side of Westheimer just inside the 610 Loop. 

On the west side of the loop nearby was a place called Luke's that I don't recall being half bad.

So for someone who ends up in the Galleria area from time to time when I'm in town, is Cliff's on Fountainview still any good.  Loved that place when I was a kid.

Is that the same Cliff’s that used to be on 1960?  That place was pretty solid if memory serves. 

[dcbc 14,465]

I don't know.  The one on Fountainview has been there since the early 80s.  It's right next to Fountainview Cafe, which is a solid breakfast place.

[DoobieWah 1,435]

Cliff's on Fountainview is NOT the same. I know it got sold a few years ago and went downhill pretty quick. I haven't been in a couple of years but the last few times I went, Primo the old cook was gone and I'm sure that's most of it. Southwell's on the other side of San Felipe is decent. There's another across Gaylord from Memorial High.

Hamburgers by Gourmet was great. I used to go to the one on Westheimer just west of Kirkwood. Their buns were always really fresh.

Beck's Prime makes a good burger.

Also Pappy's on I-10.

Blake's BBQ on Jeanetta makes a great burger.

 

 

 

 

 

OU sux. It is written.

RIP Otto's Hamburgers. Their Super Burger (double meat, double cheese) kicked so much ass. Their BBQ restaurant out back was no bueno though.

[Guitarman 28]

Southwells was pretty awesome. 

Stanton and lankford. Christians in midtown is solid.
