Must be specific ones. I went to try one today and left unimpressed. Not a bad burger by any means, but nothing whatsoever to write home over.Seersucker Ag 2011 said:
Is the Pappas BBQ burger good at every location or specific ones? I'm thinking of swinging by the one at Gessner and Westheimer.

Not sure but I've had it at a couple it's generally pretty good everywhere. The Gessner/Westheimer location is my home location too.
Just tried one today.. Hilcroft and 59 loc. Really good burger. The way they fixed it, actually reminded me of a great loaded Whataburger somewhat when whataburger is on point. Sleeper burger for sure, but by no means near the best in town. Will definitely have it again.
Tried Joy Love Burger in Katy last week. Pretty damn good burger.

- Can you order a single patty?
- Are the two patties together considered a 1/2 pounder?
I guess I shouldn't be surprised that a BBQ place has a good burger. The burger at Mckenzie's BBQ in Conroe is one of my favorites.
Another one not in Houston, but we tried Burger Fresh in Conroe after a 2-3 year break. It is in my top five in the area.
My dad, who recently passed, lived in the retirement home across Gladstell from Burger Fresh. He loved a good burger, and that place never disappointed. Although I did have to warn him against walking across Gladstell with his walker just to get a burger, no matter how good it was.
I do the downtown Pappa's BBQ.
Tookie's and Stomps are both great! Lankford Grocery also good!!
Not the best, but if you want to try an excellent "different" burger Flipin Patties on Eldridge is really unique (all their food is great). Love the Asian inspired bread / Bao / bun.
For regular burger I'm a big fan of Tornado burger spicy.
Also others mentioned like Stantons, Sams pies, etc. Prefer thin and flat top seared.

Anyone been to House of Fries on Antoine? It appears to be an old Jack in the Box.
While not the best burger in town...it's a damn good meal and cheap.
C & D Burger Shoppe off of Fuqua. It's been in business around South Houston for over 40 years already.

Do you have to pay in two dollar bills?

They are pretty solid. I compare them a lot to Shuttle Burger just around the corner from them. Nothing extremely fancy, but you won't have a bad burger there by any stretch, and prices aren't out of this world for what you get either.Good Aggie Hunting said:

Ground fajita meat burger at Ninfa's on Navigation is excellent.
haven't had that in years. but I tried it soon after it came out and it was simply incredible. a second visit was also excellent. the third time I had it, the magic was somehow gone. it had gone from transcendent to merely pretty good. haven't been back since. but I'd love to give it another shot.Texan1976 said:

You have just run into the law of diminishing returns.
The first time you had it, it was amazing. The second time was still very good, every bit as good as the first time.
By the time you went the third time, the magic was gone. It was still very good, just not the transcendent experience as the first time.
That's why those fancy restaurants serve multi course, small plate dinners. You don't need more than three bites to get maximum enjoyment of a dish.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but I remember it being overcooked vs the previous ones that were still nice and pink inside.
I found the pic I took at the time.

On Pappas, yes you can order a single patty burger, I do not recommend the double patty, that is a beast.
I ordered the single, was charged for a single, but got a double. All bets are off...nhayden said:Cinco Ranch Aggie said:McKenzie's is legit.Texas A&M said:

The "single" is a double thin patty.
The "double" has 4 thin patties.
The "double" has 4 thin patties.
Interesting. I wouldn't call the patties I had 'thin' but there was only two of them.
Honorable mention - The Spartan Burger at Bakkhus Tavern in Kemah is phenomenal.
It's a Kobe Beef burger with garlic sauted spinach and some sort of cheese I can't pronounce on it.
Add Fire Feta to it and you'll be happy you made the drive.

I haven't been to a lot of the joints listed here but a good burger can be found at M&M over in the medical center.
Went to Dairy Bar on the way down to Galveston this weekend.
It did not disappoint. Jalapeno Burger was amazing.

Glad someone else is on board (made a post on M&M a few pages back).Orlando Ayala Cant Read said:

Probably been mentioned earlier in the thread but Joy Love opening a place at Memorial and Dairy Ashford as well
I would second Joy Love in Katy and add Mel's Country Cafe in Tomball.
Has Willlie Burger in Katy been mentioned yet?
That's a damn good burger

.I have an uncle who also happens to be my dentist, and as it so happens, my daughter has an appointment to see him for a cavity next week. He is in Lake Jackson. Looks like I'll be stopping at the Dairy Bar for a yummy burger. And a milk shake.
I had the mango habenero burger at M&M yesterday and it was shockingly awesome.
Yup - the double loaded there is ridiculously good if anyone wants to give it a go.swimmerbabe11 said:

M&M is severely underrated - would love to see them expand but doubt they will.
Tried the burger at Papa's BBQ based on this thread. Was very tasty.
