In my opinion, Shipwreck Grill has one of the best burgers in town. I have always liked Koppe Bridge, but last time I had their burger it was very bland. Shipwreck is much better!

---

Don't care for Shipwreck's buns. The C&J burger is very good.

I've tried every burger place thatC&J's has been discussed in this thread except C&J's and the Edge Store I honestly didn't even know C&J's had a burger. Top of the Hill is top of the list for me with Koppe Bridge and Margie's tied for 2nd. I've eaten at both Margie's and Koppe Bridge in the last week and both were really good. I do agree that Koppe Bridge has suffered from siggy buns in the past but the last time I ate there it was a better experience.. I have never had a bad expereience with the french fries at Koppe Bridge but I'm sure other have.

I'm going to try the new burger place in Navasota in the next week. Hopefully it will be acceptable to this crowd although that is a high bar to get over.

I was going to say this, I may never go back.

Which Koppe Bridge is everyone referring to? Is there any quality difference between the two?

I haven't been to the one on Wellborn for some time.

What's the new burger place in Navasota?

We ordered the burger for my middle kid a while back because he didn't want BBQ and it's all he gets now. It's a great burger.

They should just take them off the menu like most places have done. The supplier nearly everyone in town got theirs from quit carrying them.

I have never liked koppe bridge's burger but they used to have a great cfs sandwich. Last time I had it, the quality was trash. KB is somewhere I only go if someone else insists on it.

Quit the one on Harvey Rd 4 yr ago. Drive past it for almost every burger I eat. Too inconsistent, too many cold hard buns and cold cheese on my burger. Just better options abound….

Them not having American cheese is doing you a favor. You can opt for actual delicious cheese instead.

Another demonstration that opinions can, in fact, be wrong.

Top of the Hill is pretty good, but it was even better back when it was Griffin's (mid-90s). The last time I had Koppe Bridge, probably 2-3 years ago, it was pretty dry. Like they were using 85 or 90 percent lean.

I wish Top of the Hill was open later, but I get it. But why not close earlier than 4 if they don't want to have dinner customers? Is there still a lot of lunch business between 1-4pm?

In 2022 - just about this time of year - I conducted a taste test at four of the burger places already mentioned in this thread.

The results of the test, complete with pictures, are on Page 3 of the thread at this link:

Are you agreeing with me that American cheese is trash?

Tried a burger at Joe's Place. Very tasty.

I feel like a lot of stuff down there is pretty unknown because usually stuff is always opening and closing. Heck, we used to be Casa Rod regulars after church on Sundays back when it was good and didn't take 2 hours and this was place was right around the corner. We were even First Friday regulars for a while. Papa Perez for dinner and walking around down there afterwards. I guess we just never walked all the way down there.

I'm just surprised nobody has mentioned it to me before. The 3 people with me are the same way. Born and raised here and never heard of it.

All the classic burger heavy hitters been mentioned already. One place I found that was unknown to me was The Crown Bar. They make a really good burger there.

Not here but in Jacksboro, Texas: Herd's Burgers. We always stop there when we are driving through.

I wanted to go there Saturday, but saw online that they close at 5 pm on Saturdays. Is that true?

(I work nights, so going for lunch ain't happening.)

Does any place make a good hickory burger?

My hometown diner had the best hickory burger growing up. Curly fries and this crazy drink called a Newton.

Is Burger Mojo worth checking out?

If there was one thing about the garbage fire that is the Austin area that I do miss, it was P. Terry's. They'd clean up if they moved to Jones Crossing.

It's fine but there are better choices. Does the job in a pinch.

I've had some good burgers at Grub Burger too, but some of those listed here are better. Grub has adult beverages to go with the burgers.

My wife loves Koppe Bridge burgers but I think there is emotion attached to that from when she was a student. They aren't bad, but there are better choices.
