Scroll down to Houston. Only place I have been on the Houston list is Bernie's. Loved it.

Also, list for this year's Restaurant month is out. Some really good places on the list. Starts Aug 1.

Time to sit in the A/C and chow down.

No Bubba's Burger Shack? No Bellaire Broiler Burger? No Tornado Burger? No Lankford Grocery? All of these are way better than Burger Joint, Stanton's, or Graffiti's, IMO.

Tornado is meh, Lankford should be on the list

Of the ones on the list, haven't been to all the ones you listed, but Stanton's is legit. I love that place.

I've heard about that burger at state of grace.
Stanton's is awesome

I like the burger joint.

Leaving southwell's or lankford off is criminal and ignorant.

This reminds me that I need to make the trek up to Conroe to Burger Fresh. My favorite in town....

On a related note, I went to a Fuddruckers for the first time in years recently....I had forgotten how good their burgers were.

Also, with Fort Worth and Houston next to each other, I've eat 8 burgers in a row on that list.

Not just *at* the place, but the actual listed item.

I've also had the Chong at Moon Tower and I've eaten lots of Hubcap, but never the philly cheese steak burger.

meh? MEH!?

Tornado (spicy) is the single greatest fast food burger in existence. I have no reason to think their normal burger or anything else is worth eating but I crave a spicy #1 and miss working in Sugar Land.

Negative.

Lankford is good but it doesn't nearly live up to it's reputation.

Southwell's is OK but it doesn't remotely belong in the pantheon of Houston burger joints. Unless you're basing it on nostalgia, in which case Prince's should be on there too.

Hubcap, Pappas Burger, Bernie's, Bellaire Broiler, Bubba's, and several other places all rate well above Southwell's.

Langford was fantastic when I was last there in 2003


Any best burger list without "the one I make in my backyard" is bunk

I agree. I'm here now having a cold beverage. Great beer selection.

My favorite burger on the north west side.

Tried multiple things at hubcap but just not for me. Would honestly rather grab Five Guys.

Best kept burger secret in town...Wimpy's Hamburgers on Polk St downtown

It's not topped with fried eggs, Philly cheesesteak or any fancy aioli sauce or anything, but they make a damn good burger. The jalapeno jack is one of the better burgers I've had around here.

The Buffalo Nickel in Fredericksburg serves up the best burger for my money.

Pappas Burger


Clarification needed. The sheithole next to Pappas Bro's Steakhouse or are you referring to the burger (near) perfection that is the cheeseburger on the menu at Pappas BBQ? (Which incidentally is one of the very few things worth going there for.)

Had the squirrel burger at Cottonwood today. Pretty good although I'm still partial to Lankford Grocery.

I'm referring to Pappas Burger on Westheimer next door to Pappas Bros. Steakhouse.

I've had burgers at almost all of the top places in town and Pappas belongs in that company. Their burgers there are outstanding. The quality of the beef they grind in-house is excellent, they'll cook it medium-rare if you ask (and I do), and overall it's an excellent burger even if it is a bit spendy (around $15 for a burger & fries).

IMHO, if you're saying the place is crap then you're being irrationally biased.

Got the basic cheeseburger at Killens yesterday. Had a business lunch there so it wasn't on my dime.

It was good. But wasn't anything spectacular. $36 for two people after each getting a side and drink. Onion rings were average.

Not sure if wait in line for that again.

Bubba's Burger Shack is a broke arss burger. the only reason that place gets any recognition is because it is underneath a highway overpass.

Smash Burger is better than Bubba's, Lankford's is pretty good though.
