May 5, 20223 yr Anyone know of any? They used to be in every small town right by the highway -- basically a burger joint with maybe a picnic table or two but no real seating. Mom and pops. I guess Sonic killed most of them off. There are a couple in Houston still, like Someburger and Poppa Burger, which barely qualifies because it has so many picnic tables.

There are a couple in Houston still, like Someburger and Poppa Burger, which barely qualifies because it has so many picnic tables. Right here in River City. And of course, Top Notch, although they do have some indoor seating. Same with Holly's in Post: Edited May 5, 20223 yr by Brisketexan

May 5, 20223 yr Burger Fixins in Celina off of Pecan downtown. They closed for a while during/after COVID, but they are opening back up if they aren't already.
May 5, 20223 yr Way back in the pre-marriage/kids days, I used to live in Heath, TX and my neighbors who were originally from the Rockwall area introduced me to Boots Burger. It’s this tiny place in the middle of a neighborhood just northeast of the Rockwall town square that you could only pick up a bag of burgers. It was like stepping back in a time warp into the 1950/1960s era. Just looked it up on Google maps and I’m happy to see that it looks like Boots is still serving fantastic, greasy burgers in a paper sack:

May 5, 20223 yr Dairy King in Taft. If you are driving To Port A from Austin or San Antonio it’s worth a stop.

May 5, 20223 yr Pasadena, CA is full of them. Feels like one on every corner. City also lays claim to the birth of the cheeseburger Here are a few:
May 5, 20223 yr My favorite burger ever (original location just north of 610 on Westheimer. Not a stand, but a tiny place in a strip center (menu with the 281 area code is from a later iteration I wish I'd known about). Edited May 5, 20223 yr by dcbc

May 6, 20223 yr I had many a tasty burger at Ray’s Burger Barn in Van Zandt County, not to mention Sack-A-Burger around Cedar Creek Lake

I'm thinking no veggies on this one. Bread, meat, cheese, enchilada. Really get the enchilada flavor doing some heavy work. Hell might be a good idea to throw an egg on there and make a sort of chilaquile burger.

Hell might be a good idea to throw an egg on there and make a sort of chilaquile burger. It’s always a good idea to throw an egg on there. I think I might go with a ranchero sauce and toss some onions and jalapeños on top.

Obviously, you meant to include onions, just as they should be included on top of any cheese enchilada.

May 6, 20223 yr They all have some inside seating but I'll throw out: Dairy Bar in Lake Jackson/Clute Dairy Mart in Sweeny Dairy Treat in Yoakum
