Best Burger in the state?

[pirate44]

loved the bbq thread so much, here's one for the burger lovers. Same rules: no franchises (i.e. Whataburger, ect.), give the name and city

my vote: Chris Madrid's San Antonio (blanco & hollywood)

[LH Panther Mom]

Hut's on 6th St. in Austin.

[superslyguy06]

probly at Parini's just south of abilene in buffalo gap, but its pretty $$, but it might be more of a bbq place tho

Chedder Cheezy Macho. i keep telling myself to try something else each time im there, but i cant bring myself to it. great atmosphere too.

[BullFrog Dad]

Jason's Grocery and Grill in LW. Their Texas Double Giant makes Hardee's Monster Burger look like a midget burger.

[Cat22]

Burger Town here in Orangefield!

[LH Panther Mom]

wallbangers is similar to rustys and fudruckers. but fuddruckers doesnt open in C.C. for a few more weeks i think. cant go wrong with wallbangers though.

[raider red 2000]

i voet goes to mario's drive-in lubbock texas....also pretty good mexican food there...too bad i am 9 hours away.

[Balboa]

angelo burger in San Angelo .....

[onfirebball05mustang]

I either like Burger Tex here in Austin, or Floyd's in CC

[zeke]

The best I've ever come across is the triple decker, double cheeseburger made by Storm's Drive-in. Two locations : Lampasas and Hamilton. With fries its under $5.
The buns are grilled in oil, but it tastes so very, very good.
Thanks, LH Panther Mom...I didn't know they had one in Burnet...good to know.

[Johnny Utah]

Mary's in Strawn!!! Oh! I thought we were talking CFS!!!! Kitoks in Waco(not sure if it is spelled correctly).

[andy_dufresne]

Gotta go with the Ray's Special at Ray's Drive-In in Lufkin. It meets your burger quota for the month (2 1/3 lb. patties) but it's dang good. They got a writeup in Texas Monthly a few years ago about being the best burger in the state.

[cunbed10]

Stricklin Burgers in Marlin, if it's still there.

Where's that located? I can't think of a good burger joint here in the R.O. so I might swing by Lake Worth and try this.

[Holmes_Fans]

The best burger I've ever had (and I'm not exagerating) were sinton66's tortilla burgers at the meet and greet at inks lake.

[big daddy russ]

1. Kokomo Cafe- Aransas Pass, TX
2. Pelican's Landing- Port Aransas, TX
3. The old Tiger Truck Stop- between Orange, TX and Lake Charles, LA on I-10
4. Snoopy's- Flour Bluff, TX
5. Toomer's Corner- Auburn, AL (I think they may have stopped serving their burgers... what a shame)
6. Harbor Landing- Aransas Pass, TX
7. Snappy's Convenience Store- Ingleside, TX
8. Ma's Mobil One- Agricola, MS
9. Chicken Oil Company- College Station, TX (Dixie Chicken serves the exact same burgers)
10. Freddy's- Sinton, TX (Home of the tortilla burger)

[rockdale80]

Chicken Oil is good....So it Storm's...and Mary's in Strawn does have a mean CFS.

[shankbear]

Roberts Meat Market in Orange or Burger Town in Orangefield.

[cdlvj]

Chris Madrids by far better than Hut's and Storms.

[oh well]

Big Daddy I like the list do you have a list of Barbeque places mas well.

[underware]

The KN in Cuero is pretty good. It's been there a VERY long time.

Gotta love the chili cheese burger from KN...... and the double burrito plate is good too, but that's another thread lol

[footballmom]

It's a toss up between Kincaid's Grocery and Charlie's Homemade burgers here in Fort Worth.

i dont know about a double burrito thread, but ive got a few places i could list for a chicken fried steak thread:D

[X21AAAPlayer]

Including Texas roadhouse:) Lol but seriously our CFS sometimes hangs over the edges of a large plate. For burgers I'll have to say the good ol' pizza burger at Burger Town in Orangefield or the tripe threat at novroskys.

[big daddy russ]

2. 3 Pigs' BBQ- Opelika, AL
3. Mac's Pit BBQ- Gregory, TX (Their ribs aren't better or worse than anyone else's, but their brisket is superb)
4. Kreutz' BBQ- Lockhart, TX
5. Dreamland BBQ- Tuscaloosa, AL
6. Hog Heaven BBQ- Opelika, AL (They're a chain, but this one in particular rocks my socks off)
7. Dozier's BBQ- Somewhere outside of Houston... Brookshire, I think... everytime I eat there my girlfriend's family drives
8. Joe Cotten's- Robstown, TX(This place used to rank in the top three, but has fallen off a bit in the past ten years or so)
9. Vernon's BBQ- Corpus Christi, TX
10. Hinze's- Somewhere around El Campo between Victoria and Houston on I-10 (See Joe Cotten's)

There's my personal list oh well. I wish everyone could try Charlie's. There are even people from Ingleside who have never heard of it, but the meat just falls apart when you get it.

I haven't really found any awesome places up here in the College Station area. C&J's Market is good but isn't on this level... and J. Cody's had awesome sides but the meat was a little too tough for my tastes. If anyone knows of any good places in the area, I'm up for a drive.

[Phantom Stang]

If you're over 40 and miss the "Drive In" burgers that used to be common, you will find the "Malt Shop" in Weatherford to be very satisfying. ;)

lol
We go out to eat at least once a week but haven't scratched the surface of all the restaurants in SA. We're slowly making our way from west to east.;)
Texas Hamburger co. on Huebner makes a good burger. I'm not a huge fan of Chesters, they're ok. I've had good success at Buck's Landing(the place with the airplane on 1604) and burgers.
But, we'll try Chris Madrids for sure.

Chesters are good but they just taste plain to me. Very simple.
Ground round, salt and pepper. Just like my dad used to make.

Can the Smokehouse in Gainesville get honorable mention?!

[44INAROW]

Sintonfan.. where is the Buck's on 1604? We have friends in Bulverde off 1604 (Spring Branch area) and they are new to the area.. Sounds like a place we'd like to check out.. Is Buck's any where near Bulverde?

.
South of there. It's on 1604 near Stone Oak Pkwy. Just look for the big WW2 plane on the northside of 1604. They have some good Mexican food thats a little different from typical fare. My wife always gets the mushroom swiss and I HAVE to have a bite when I don't order it myself.;)
They have a good fajita taco that's worth two meals almost.
Their Angel(and Devil, though not spicy) wings are pretty good, too.
Mondays or Tuesdays kids eat free.

We tried Storms several years ago and they were good. Last year I wasn't impressed myself.
Another place in Hondo used to be good, too. I think it was called Bubbas or something like that.

[Matthew328]

Kincaid's is really good in Ft. Worth along with Tommy's Hamburgers.....Bullfrog Dad e-mail me with directions to the place in Lake Worth I may swing by there on my lunch break!

Gene's Tasty Burger in Wichita Falls isn't bad and there is a place in Paris called BurgerLand...

[Old Tiger]

Shraeders in Thorndale has some awesome burgers! I'm not sure about the spelling of it though.

[SintonFan]

All this talk of burgers made me hungry for a burger.:D
.
I tried a new place tonight in Corpus Christi. Fast Breakers on the corner of McKenzie and Leopard(next to Golden Bear). Man, is it good! 100% Black Angus beef on sourdough buns. Jeez, I was pleasantly surprised. This one is my new favorite in Corpus.:)

PS... I tried that Church of the Holy BBQ in Huntsville on Wednesday. Awesome. The second-best brisket I've ever had... I was using a butter knife to cut through mine.

[chugbug]

Schobel's in Columbus.:eek: :eek: :tongue: :eek: :eek: :eek:

[CheerMom]

The Country Kitchen in Sheridan makes the best burger in the area. Along with a plate of their homemade onion rings, it doesn't get much better than that.

i think homemade onion rings or fries can sometimes make a burger. my fav. rings however are not at a burger joint at all but at a seafood restaurant. has anyone heard of King's Inn in Rivera?? made kinda like a loaf or onion strings. (by the way, their seafood is tops, but we'll save that for the seafood thread:D )

For a town that barely supports an 11-man football team, Riviera has two of the best little eatin' places in the world.

Thanks Bullfrog Dad. I finally tried 'em the other day and was quite pleased.:cool:

[HighSchool Fan]

i think Hooters has some of the best burgers :D

[Gobbla2001]

I'll have to try more, but I've always liked Jim's Big Burger and Double J's in Victoria...

Also a good torilla-burger at Japalenos in Victoria...

Onion rings, though? Clear Springs just South of New Braunfels...

there's a place on Harry Hines in Dallas called The Hole in the Wall. you have to walk carefully in there because of all the grease on the floor. once you get to your seat and order a burger, you'll be glad you decided to stop there. they are awesome.

The best place in the midland area is Bobs better burger.

trust me, it's there. if you passed by it, you wouldn't stop unless someone told you about it.

[Phantom Stang]

The Shell station at the corner of 1709 and Randall Mill in Southlake makes a burger that's comparable to Tommy's.

[Bull Butter]

First off, let me say that when you're hungry, ANY burger is good (even McDonald's) But from my experience, in various states of hunger, the best burgers are.......

1. Chris Madrid's----San Antonio
2. Grin's---- San Marcos
3. Jake's--- South Padre Island
4. Cheesy Jane's--- Alamo Heights (SA)
5. Bill's Cafe---Kingwood
