June 18, 20232 yr We got threads on the usuals, but I scrolled the first page and didn't see a dedicated burger thread like they have over on the Austin board. My bad if this has already been covered. I'll start it off with my favs near my downtown office... 1. Stanton's City Eats. Best in the city I've ever had 2. Lankford's, for me tied with #3 Champ Burger, but a buddy of mine broke the tie and gave a slight edge to them over Champ Burger. Can't go wrong with either. 3. Champ Burger 4. I might get roasted for this one, but I like Wimpy's because it's only a 5 minute walk from the office and Señor Wimpy has some of the best onion rings you will ever eat. My limited experiences outside of DT, Beltway 8 / Westpark Tollway area... Texas Hamburger Palace For us in North aggy... aka The Woodlands @Hate, Honey Bee Ham in the Cochrans Crossing shopping center is absolutely top notch. Voted best burger in Montgomery County for a few years in a row and it's legit. If you order a double burger, better eat it there because if you take it more than 5 minutes away the juice will soak through the bun.
June 18, 20232 yr Champ is good, get the cheese fries Cream Burger - across the street from u of h, cash only
June 18, 20232 yr Slithered into the new Lankford’s on Bissonnet for Friday lunch. Appearance-wise it is galaxies away from the original. Burger-wise it was good but didn’t seem the same. It was a quality cheeseburger but lacked something unquantifiable. The now defunct Bellaire Broiler Burger, a mere sand wedge away, was superior in all aspects.

June 20, 20232 yr Always liked Southwells when we lived over in Spring Branch. Off the beaten path a little, Itty Bitty Burger Barn makes a damn good burger in NW Oak Forest. I realize how rarely I eat burgers that I don’t cook myself, because I’ve still never been to Stanton’s or Lankford after being here for 7 years.

June 26, 20232 yr 31 minutes ago, tx 3 putt said: Alison Cook gave trill burger the thumbs up Quote Spilling forth from the grill-toasted Martin’s potato bun, my first glimpse of the Trill Burger’s extravagantly lacy, burnished edges was extremely promising. I discovered if I tipped the burger upward, I could actually see through the smashed edges in places. It smelled inviting, and the wrinkly square of melted cheese crawling down the topmost patty practically screamed “bite me!” So I bit, and bit again, and in no time had scarfed my way steadily through a burger that I definitely liked a lot. First, for its lively play of crispy frizzle against crispy frizzle. Second, for its clear beefy flavor, thanks to the sourcing from regional ranch player 44 Farms. Third, for the delightfully sweet savor of the grilled onions — more wilted than caramelized, but perhaps that is to be expected when you have been besieged by customers since Hour One. While I really enjoyed my OG Trillburger, it did not provide me with that eyes-rolling-back-of-my-head moment I experienced sampling Abbas Dhanani’s similar double-double smashburger at Burger Bodega. And for a woman who is not fond of soda, a Dr Pepper is a poor substitute for Burger Bodega's splendid milk shakes made with Houston-friendly flavors from Craft Creamery.
June 27, 20232 yr Drove by this weekend and the line was down the sidewalk along Richmond and guys in the lot directing traffic. I'll wait a while before attempting to go.

July 27, 20232 yr Went to Burger Bodega on Saturday. Cool little place, good burger. I could've eaten 2. Good smash style burger with crispy edges. Added jalapeños (fresh) Will try the Chopped cheese next visit.

Everytime I go by, even at a random time like 3 in the afternoon, there's a super long line and the parking lot looks like a nightmare.

August 17, 20232 yr Stanton's was better when it was a convenience store.Correct assessment. And when that was, they had the best burger in town. Cross posting from the Oak Forest thread. Mytiburger is struggling:

August 17, 20232 yr Is it "as good as it used to be" or have the latest (11 years in not so new) owners changed things?No idea. I think I only ate there once back around 2011-2012.

August 24, 20232 yr Trill Burger slams. Very quick line even after 11 am today. Parking was pretty easy, but you must enter the lot on the South Shepherd. The line moves so fast because the menu is so simple. Choices include: a double or triple with sautéed onions, pickles, cheese, and sauce. Fries are the only side. They don’t serve beer or wine. The patties are pretty similar to Freddy’s. Good bun. Sauce is kind of unique. I’d say it’s a cross between remoulade and whipped McDonald’s Big Mac sauce. Whatever it is, it works. I crushed a Triple OG in under 5 minutes. 30 minutes in and out at 11:10am on a Thursday.
September 7, 20232 yr Champ Burger, 2nd ward. Call in your order im going to start ordering the kid burger or something. I finished half. Always good
October 19, 20232 yr When did Sam’s Burgers and Pies on Dairy Ashford close? Were they a covid casualty. Always thought the burgers were solid there and loved they use raw jalapeños instead of pickled.

October 29, 20232 yr About every two to three months is good for me. Probably my last burger of 2023. 8 min walk for me
October 30, 20232 yr The burger at Paradigm Brewery up in Tomball was fantastic if you’re ever up that way. Tons of outdoor space for the kids too.
