Keller's Drive Inn makes a good burger.

[trojandad]

ranch hand cafe, between cleveland and dayton......hamburgers so tall they use an 8" steak knife in the middle to hold it together.....4 onion rings so large nobody in my family as ever finished an order alone (when ordering we order "an order of mud tires", they're THAT big).....two sizes of chicken fried steak, the SMALL order is so big it's served on a platter but a separate plate is needed for the overhang.....and the best part, they make a dessert called dump cake (i FINALLY got the recipe) that has such an incredibly good smell that my daughter can always tell from the parking lot whether they are making dump cake that day......

and all from the most wonderful, spiritual family.....love giving great people lots of business.....

Jacksboro hwy, northern edge of town. It's easy to miss, but stop and ask anyone in town and they'll you where it is. Or, just google it. Tons of articles about it. It was the only, and I mean ONLY, positive thing about my time in the J Hole.

Fledgling Businesswoman Put All She Owned Into Fat Ho Burgers

WACO (March 24, 2011)--Lakita Evans, 23, whose just-opened Fat Ho Burgers restaurant in South Waco is receiving nationwide attention, said Thursday she doesn’t know why she’s getting so much criticism about her choice of a name for the business.

"I don't know why they are talking bad about the restaurant, I mean all this is my money and I struggled," Evans said Thursday.

"I had to sell my car, my tires, my television, my laptop, and my computer to get this up,” she said.

Evans is one of six children reared by a single mother in Waco and Marlin, and the only one of the six to graduate from college.

"She's been working ever since she was 16-years-old and had to walk to school and walk home late at night," Evans' mother, Shirley Evans said Thursday.

The restaurant opened Tuesday to a crowd of curious diners and business was so good on Wednesday that the cash-only business first ran out of cash and then used up its supply of beef.

Lunch-hour diners waited in line for 30 minutes or longer Wednesday and for most the attraction was the new restaurant’s provocative name.

"I just wanted to see what all the talk was about,” one diner said.

The restaurant on South 11th Street near Interstate 35 got plenty of press ahead of the opening thanks to its name, which Evans said was inspired by the movie “Phat Girlz.”

"I was watching “Phat Girlz”…and they had like a fat ass burger and skinny ass fries,” she said.

The Fat Ho menu includes such choices as a “Supa Fly Ho,” which is a single-patty burger, and a “Supa Dupa Fly Ho,” which is a double.

Not all of the buzz has been positive, however.

One former Waco resident has created a Facebook group asking Evans to come up with a different name for the business.

The group, Keep Waco Positive, sent a letter to Evans that said, “Naming your business Fat Ho Burgers is neither funny nor cute.”

The group says the name glamorizes misogyny or the hatred of women.

I thought that was kind of funny, too. I guess they are offended by the moniker, "Fat Ho", because it may befit some of them....:D

[Ernest T Bass]

Im still trying to figure out why she worked her way through college to open a business? :thinking:

The one at Hwy 80 and the Spur, no. The one on Eastman Rd., yes. I love their beans, too. I stopped eating at the Butcher Shop a couple of years ago when they got a bad review from the health department. They've cleaned that up, but I can't get those thoughts out of my head.

No. Although, the wednesday night all you can ribs at Dairyland were pretty good. Unfortunately, after a losing season, a coach can't really be seen in public.

In Victoria there is Dairy Treet. Good burgers, nothing fancy, sit in your car (no seating). Get a chocolate malt or the sherbet of the day while you are there. On the corner of Laurent and Crestwood.

texas sports bar and grill has an amazing cheese burger here in nacogdoches

[Chief Woodman]

Born in Fort Worth, lived in Decatur for several years. Kinkaid’s is GREAT. Especially at the original grocery store location just off of Camp Bowie Blvd. Hurd’s is equally great in J-town. A third option just north of Decatur is Greenwood burger in Greenwood TX. (www.greenwoodgroceryandgrill.com/hamburger.html) What I say now is NOT saying that anyone of them is anything less than great. It just indicates how great the other’s are. If I had an equal distance to drive to each one of them…Kincaid’s would be the last choice. All three are so good that EVERYONE should make an effort to eventually go to all three. They are that great.

I'm with you there...but, I still think Swanner's is the King of East Texas Burgers (every Staurday with a slab of pie)...my cardiologist recommends them.

[TheDOCTORdre]

since that chick owns Fat Ho is she a pimp?

[PPHSfan]

On another note.

Does anyone see the Irony in Fat Ho's thriving, while Sambo's and Kip's Big Boy were forced to close their doors?

my former accountant used to do the books for sam battistone, original owner of sambo's (and the original new orleans jazz owner), he told me they closed more from terrible practices with numbers than the racial backlash on the name.....

but your point is a good one.......

What's funny is the restaurant was named for the two founders, not the tiger tamer. :D

[GetRDoneStangs]

Mary's in Strawn. We were enjoying their kick ass chickin fry when some boys wanted a burger. The waitress told them it would take longer for the burger and they had no problem...plenty of cold beer....and when it came out it was HUGE!! The buns did not come close to covering the burger.

If it as good as the chicken fry...they get a vote for sure!!

Swanner's definitely makes some good old-fashioned hamburgers! You may be old enough to remember another hamburger joint back a "few" years ago called Mrs. Lovell's......now THAT was the absolute best burger I ever ate, bar none!

[grahampaw]

another hole in the wall , newcastle texas . almost as good as the origanal.

The hole in the wall in Graham is one of the best. I'm not sure if it's still there, last few times I tried to eat there it was closed.

[BaseballUmp]

Herk's Burgers in Lexington are pretty good. Jalapeno buns made fresh everyday.

It's in a little convenience store as you are heading south out of town but it's pretty dang good.

Still not as good as Tex Miller's in Cameron though

[AP Panther Fan]

In Corpus Christi I like Fuddrucker's and Wallbangers for burgers.

Fuddrucker's has some really good "seasoned" french fries and Wallbanger's has an old fashioned chocolate malt some might consider killing for.

YES!! Mike, Mrs. Lovell's grandson, found the original grill in a storeroom at her house after her passing...has the recipe and built an outdoor kitchen to house it...they still tastes the same...wonderful.

No kidding? I want one! Tell Mike he needs to open up a restaurant. I'll even help him!

[Txbroadcaster]

The best Burger I ever ate was at a place in Marshall called Toddys...Miss that place...also had great BBQ and there were fries were out of the world awesome

[pancho villa]

2 great burgers in my NECK of the woods.

Gus's BBQ in Texas City awsome Burger, and 36 bar and Grill in Needville fantastic.

Also another favorite is Chicken Oil Company in College Station.

[crzyjournalist03]

RG Burgers & Grill in Denton

Great tasting burgers, good portions (1/2 lb. patty on their singles) and unique burger of the day every day and a unique burger of the month too. I believe their buns are homemade. There's a slightly sweet flavor to them that's really good.

[Buckeye1980]

Went to place today that just opened (today) called Cheeburger Cheeburger, DAMN good hamburger. Not in the same style as Swanner's in Gilmer but it was best I have had in Longview. Have a one pounder on menu that you can eat and get picture on the wall , see more at www.cheeburger.com

[T-Time]

Alamo Springs between Fredericksburg and Comfort. Save your bottle caps, that how they keep up with your COLD beverages.

Lovecreek Orchards store in Medina: jalapeno/chees bun, pepperjack cheese, and green chillies.

[Old LB]

I prefer burgers made at home but one place I liked was Guerra's Grill, Gonzales, TX.

[rangerjim60]

Jaxx Gourmet Burgers in Paris, TX The Jack Kirvorkian - guaranteed heart attack - I survived. Plus they have a 8 patty burger, 12 slices of cheese and more - only $20.
