Best Houston Burgers
- j
- John Scar Jan 15, 2003 02:49 PM
Since Austin Hounds have done the best burger thing a couple times I though I would throw Houston's Best out there.
Langford's Grocery on Denis in the 4th Ward Montrose area. Lanford's has a perfectly non cemitrical look to the patty. That's right a hand formed monster with tons of grease. Tons of mayo and a huge slice of tomato. If you go on a wednesday and have never been here you might need to get a great beef enchilada served with frijoles al a charro and mex rice. Both sides are as good as I have ever had.
Rudyard's on Waugh in the Montrose area. Rudz serves a nice thick chargrilled burger with a good bun. Make sure to get it cooked medium at the most(I guess this goes without saying).
KC's bar and grill on Fountanview in the Galleria/Richmond Strip area. I was extremely surprised by the quality of burger I got here. Nice juicy burger with good enough fries.
The Palm Steakhouse does a great burger at lunch for $10. It is supposedly ground prime meat and is probably over a pound when all is sadi and done.
Adrians in the 5th ward serves the biggest tastiest damn burger around. This place is off the beaten path but worth searching for. It is in a very rough area but the owner is super friendly and the clientele is always fun.
Good but not great burgers:
Roznofski's has a good burger if you do the double meat.
Bellare Broiler is good for a chili burger.
Goode Co when someone you are dinning with doesn't want a burger.
The Tavern on Gray served one of the best burgers I had ever had then dissapointed on the next 2 visits. I think they put either msg or superfine salt because the meat is salty but you really can't see it (that doesn't make sense).
Tookies in sea brook/kemah area. tookies is good but I think it is a little overrated. I like the 99?
What are some other favorites out there?
re: Bob
Maybe it was all of the hype, but I was a little underwhelmed by the Langford Grocery burger I had. It was certainly good and quite tasty, but to call it the "best" seems like a bit of a stretch.
For a traditional greasy good old hamburger, I prefer Otto's. The OSB (Otto's Super Burger) is double meat, double cheese. It is a heart attack on a bun, but it is great.
re: TexasHusky
I'm sure if you got a double meat at Langford's it would be just as much a heart attack on a bun.
Otto's has a good burger and maybe it belongs in the top 5 but for my money I will hit Langford's 9 times out of ten. The problem with Otto's is that you have to get a double meat in order to make the meat to bun ratio in the meat favor. Either way I will stand by Langford's til I find another burger that is better.
re: John Scar
Three words: Bellaire Broiler Burger
re: John Scar
John, I had heard a lot about Lankford's, so being a burger connoseur constantly on the hunt for the "best" -- I made my way over there, which was no small feat in itself to even find the place. Yep, it's good, but sorry, certainly not "best" -- my opinion, of course. You must compare it to the Avalon over on Westheimer -- get the cheeseburger, chips, and the earth's ultimate limeade. No comparison.
re: texasnative1
Lankford's burger have gone downhill from when I qst started going there in 2000. Then it was in competition for the best burger with Christians.
Now I go to Lankford's for the specials - on Wed. its enchiladas - kind of like country or farm enchiladas, and the Thur. Chicken Fried Steak.
re: Musestruck
My fav at Tookies is the Stomps Roadhouse Special.
I think Langford's is the best burger in Houston
Bellaire has by far the best chili cheese fries I have ever had
and I plan to try a few of the places mentioned above.
I am surprised that nobody has mentioned Christian's Tailgate bar (the second best burger in Houston) - the original is on Washington (next to Denny's on I-10) and they have a new location in the revamped area on Gray and Bagby.
>>>>Langford's Grocery on Denis in the 4th Ward Montrose area.
I like Lankfords, but it's not one of my top burgers. Good though, but I found myself skipping it more often than not.
>>>>>Rudyard's on Waugh in the Montrose area.
One of my favorites, but the kitchen is absolutely inconsistant in being able to cook anything below medium well. If you can somehow convince them to cook it medium rare, you're great, but that only happens one out of three times for me.
>>>>The Palm Steakhouse does a great burger at lunch for $10. It is supposedly ground prime meat and is probably over a pound when all is sadi and done.
Never had the Palm Burger, but maybe I'll go for lunch today.
>>>>>Adrians in the 5th ward serves the biggest tastiest damn burger around.
I second (and third!) Adrian's. It is in a sketchy neighborhood (close to Finnegan Park in the Fifth Ward), but they do make perhaps the biggest and one of the best burgers I've had in Houston. I think I made the mistake the first time of having a double.
I've also enjoyed some good burgers at Papa's Burgers on Westheimer, though I don't go out there a lot. A little too chain-y and well lit.
Finally, for a reference burger, I just got back from a whirlwind trip to New Orleans and ate at Port of Call on Esplanade. Simply the best, and I found myself shaking me head wondering how it was so good. Unlike most every burger joint in America, I order them medium at Port of Call, since 1) they actually know how to cook their burgers, and 2) medium rare seemed too bloody/juicy. Across the street at Buffa's Tavern on Esplanade is a good burger as well, recommended by a cab driver, that was exceptionally peppery, but Port of Call stood head and shoulders above it.
Good luck, and thanks for the recommendations.
re: Mikeflan
OMG ! You have my mouth watering for a Port Of Call Burger. Been years since I was there but their burger is hands down the best I have ever had. I even teased them that they must put drugs in their burgers to get the "foodie high" we had eating there. I smile everytime I see their Port Of Call plastic cup in my cabinet...tacky I know but I can't bear to part with it. Anyone wanna do a road trip to NO for burgers?
re: onatrip
Where's Bill's Cafe? I've seen Pete's on 494 in Porter - which I've heard is great.
Another great burger is found at D.J's Old Timey Burger's in the shadow of Reliant Stadium. Their "D.J's" Burger is chili, bacon, cheese, and jalepeno - delicious.
re: Lily Dale
Bill's Cafe
22845 Loop 494
Kingwood, TX 77339
Don't expect much in decor but the burgers are good!
How about Annie's on South Post Oak Rd (@ Willowbend)? I have been eating there for maybe 30 years. Thin patty, flame broiled with lots of lettuce and tomatoes. My favorite is a single with cheese, bacon and jalapenos (no tomatoes, too much juice) every time. Great fries, too.
I grew up less than a mile from there and try to go in every time I go home.
It is sort of comfort food to me, I'd be curious to see what other chowhounds think.
re: birddogfoodie
Thanks for the tip on Annie's, I have passed it and thought it looked promising...good to hear that the fries are fine, too.
Port of Call is a great Burger - #2 on my entire USA list.
It is a distant second only to the Westport Flea Market's 10 OZ Flea Market Burger - and they will cook it anyway you want it.
I get bacon, mushrooms and pepperjack cheese - don't forget the BBQ sauce located behind the fixin counter.
To call it a great burger you need a great burger plus great home-made, crispy fried. I nominate the burger at Jim Goode's Armadillo Palace (but good luck having a conversation over the music). Their fries are skinny and great.
Pappas Burgers, which are supposedly ground fresh next door at Pappas steak restaurant, are very good.
Jax, at Bellaire and Rice, makes a good burger, and great onion rings. Everything they make is great.
I have to modify my Houston's greatest burger. After several trips top each - I think Christian's Totem (Tailgate Bar) has overtaken Lankfords. I have had most of the rest except Annie's.
When I want a Burger I go to Tailgate, when I want Enchiladas (Wed.) or Chicken Fried Steak (Thur. special) I go to Lankfords
I really like the burgers at Goode's Armadillo saloon because they're big and juicy and come with crisp skinny frieds. Great atmosphere. I wish it wasn't so noisy. Well, it's not noise, just good music, but you can't talk over it easily. Just sit outside if you want to talk.
re: kalidaemon
and its BYOB - I just found out about Dry Creek today, and plan to try it next week
My faves (full disclosure - I like burger joint burgers, not fern bar burgers, designer burgers, 5 star restaurant burgers):
1. Christian's Tailgate - a lot has changed at Christian's Totem since it was first 'discovered' by the Press, the most salutary thing being that the kitchen is now open til 8pm and for a few hours on Sunday (hint, hint, Lankford). But the burgers are always the same - there's an amazing consistency to the kitchen - and great. I believe it was John T. Edge of the Southern Foodways Alliance who called it the quintessential Texas burger.
(That was too much food for me - I usually only go for the excellent beer-battered ORs for a side)
2. Lankford Grocery - bigger, messier, cheaper, and still excellent. I savor each bite of Christian's burger while I wolf down Lankford's. Downsides are less appealing sides, except the tater tots, some inconsistency from time to time in the kitchen, and shorter hours.
3. Someburger - 11th and Studewood in the Heights - not for everybody, thin meat patties, 50s style burgers so hot and fresh off the grill even the bun could singe your tongue. If you want red meat juices running down your chin when you bite into a burger, this ain't for you. Hand-dipped shakes and malts. No drive-thru, no kiddie playground, not even indoor dining; no Biggie size, SuperSize, you can't even choose between S,M,L - a faded sign in the window advises customers FFs, ORs, shakes and malts come in one size only. You probably have to go for the double-meat, which may be about the only alteration to the menu since the chain was founded in the 1950s in Austin by a couple of UT students. This and the one in beautiful downtown Baytown are the only remaining Someburger locations.
Honorable mentions:
Blake's BBQ & Burgers on Jeanetta, just south of Westheimer. Only been going here a few months but never been disappointed and it's a lot closer to me than the others. Hand-formed patty, thick slice of onion (grilled onions available for extra). They cut it in half for you, not because it's so big but because it's so juicy. Good ORs; I haven't tried the FFs yet. The double meat is too big for me, besides I have to leave room for the home-made cake:
(Pictured, a slice of pineapple-coconut cake, one of about 8 varieties available plus 3 varieties of Hank's Ice Cream).
Guy's Meat Market smoked burger:
There's no ORs, FFs, or place to eat at Guy's. That's a chilled, creamy macaroni on the side.
Pete's Fine Meats cheeseburger
Bean Burger at Tookie's in Seabrook - refritos, fritos and Cheez Whiz on a burger. Get jalapenos too but you might want to order them on the side because they really put a lot on it.
Cheeseburger at Avalon Drug/Diner
re: worldlyme
Original location only for me, but I usually go for something other than a burger. As I recall, Baba Yega makes a fine burger, but I haven't had one in probably 10 years.
re: worldlyme
Barnaby's is excellent. I have never had a bad burger at any of their locations.
The new Rare Bar that opened at 700 Shepherd has great burgers(their specialty is a 14 ounce monster) and sliders as well as Block 7 which is just across the street at 700 Shepherd. Great burgers and cheap wine.
Houston's has a fantastic fresh-ground chuck burger, also. The chili burger (Saturday's only) is about the best in town.
MAX's Wine dive has a Kobe beef burger. It is awesome, but it is $18.
My first choice is Jax up on Sheppard. juicy with nice thick bacon on it and the onion rings are the best! I always eat there everytime I'm over in Houston. I also like KC's too. Again juicy, good fries, but only make the effort to go there if I'm at friends house that live close by.
re: austx03
Haven't been to that location but I want to, since Friday nights they have a Zydeco band playing (which makes it one of the main places in Houston to catch regular Zydeco). At the Jax in Bellaire I always enjoy the burgers and the home made onion rings.
I didn't like the burgers at Barnaby's or Ziggy's Healthy Grill--kind of dry and blah. I like Beck's Prime and Pappas Burger ok. My favorites were at Hobbit Cafe (especially the mushroom one--Martinique?) and Goode Co. Taqueria (although I haven't been there in a couple years).
i completely agree with the raves about lankford's grocery and christian's totem (i didn't like the new location in midtown), but my super faves are the burgers at rudyard's and red lion. red lion has a monday night burger special for $5 that is hard to miss. i enjoy the upbeat, bar atmosphere.
becks prime is the best "fast food" burger, but their veggie burger is the best out there. i get it with lettuce, tomato, onion, and sliced avocado.
also, i've been meaning to try the burger in the cigar bar at vic and anthony's steakhouse. has anyone?
Someburger on the corner of Studemont and 11th. Awesome! It's a little green and yellow building with no indoor seating. They do have outdoor tables...nicely located next to the dumpstes...so I suggest care-out. There's been some new construction in that area so they may no longer be there, but certainly worth checking out.
Pappas Burgers on Westheimer (I know, sorry part of a local chain/family of restaurants.) They have a fantastic chili cheeseburger. And, Someburger is still there - always a line whenever I pass by.
I just tried the Burger at Stantons yesterday and have to put it in the top tier burger places in houston. Its not a dine in place so be prepared to eat in the car ot take to office/home.
re: clutj
I kept seeing the little piece on Ch. 8 about that in their 'What's Hot in Houston' series and had to go check it out. Not bad. I thought it was very comparable to the late Original New Orleans PoBoy place on Main. I'd love to have a place that good in my neighborhood but I didn't think it was worth a drive across town for.
It's on Sampson, which is one-way southbound, just north of Harrisburg, so you have to go out Navigation or Canal and head south. Can't miss it. I love what they've done to that little corner of that rather depressing neighborhood.
Based on recommendations from this board and others, I was excited when a friend called me this morning and asked me to join him for a burger at Lankford's. I was SO psyched to try what so many have called the best burger in Houston.
Not only was it NOT the best burger in Houston -- not only was it FAR from being the best -- it was downright awful. Soggy buns (that were somehow almost burned as well), absolutely flavorless meat, drenched in Sysco mayo -- I can't recall ever having been as disappointed in a burger as I was in this one. I guess nothing can ever live up to such massive hype, but I really wanted to love this burger and I didn't. The people working there were lovely, and the place has a great down-home "ambience," but I'm afraid I won't be back to Lankford's for a long while.
re: jim1126
Then try the specials - enchiladas on Wed. Chicken fried steak on Thur.
I usually get those now - I like Christians (tailgate Bar) burgers better anyway.
I don't find myself eating at Lankfords much these days. I do remember the burger not being as good as it was10+years ago when I first started eating there but its still a good burger IMO. My favortie burger right now is probably Stantons on Houston Ave across from Montalbano Lumber.
re: jscarbor
Have to agree about Stanton's. Great burger, reasonably priced.
re: cornkit
re: cornkit
I too remember the Market Square burger being a good one.
Gravitas also has a great burger. It is served RARE so be sure to specify if you have a preference, but the beef is delicious.
I can't believe no one's mentioned Champ Burger over in teh 2nd Ward. That place is an institution. Great charbroiled burger akin to Someburger, except with very fresh fixins. Get it Med Rare and call ahead at lunch time! (304 Sampson St, Houston, TX 77003, off Harrisburg)
For a really great burger, try the Remington Bar in the St. Regis. I know, everybody is going to howl that this is not a "burger joint"! BUT, that said, especially in the late afternoon it has a great atmo with dark booths, lots of wood around the bar, and fab burgers. You can have them medium rare if you so desire, the fries are TERRIFIC, good cheese choices, and there is a whole separate plate with probably 4 or 5 different lettuce choices, pickles, onions, giant tomatoes and the mayo & mustard to add yourself. I think the price is $15, but the burgers are huge--have never been able to eat a whole one. To me, it's the perfect bar burger and ambience.
re: texasredtop
S. W. Tookies fanatics, rejoice. Stomp's Burger Joint opened Tuesday, and I scouted it out last night. It's plain to see they did a lot of planning, and payed attention to details, both in the building and in the menu.
The modest little building sits at 3107 FM-146 next door to the Bayview Duck, at Simpson Street in Bacliff. It's a barn brown wooden structure, and the inside looks like a rustic Texas hill country theme with wild west and farmhouse decor seating 58.
None of the beers are mentionable, and there's no patio or smoking. But I can get a vanilla Coke like I always did at Tookies. I can get my "99" fix with Stomp's Southern Bell, or a clone of the "Stomp's Ice House Special" with their Outlaw.
Six other specialty burgers go beyond the mentor, and there's a gourmet jalapeno chili kraut dog, a Torchezee that was inspired by the SWT "Bombshell," and huge onion rings that measure up too. Stomp's has menu sections for healthy eating and for kids. It promises to become the bay area's next best burger place for sure. Service is slow while they're working bugs out, but the wait is worth it. Will they be able to pick up the pace after word gets out and the place gets discovered? We'll see.

I believe one of the best burgers is served at The Hideaway on Dunvale. Fresh, not frozen, hand-formed patties grilled to perfection not overcooked. Yummy!
re: Lambowner
We ate at Mooyah Burgers about a year ago on Bay Area Blvd. The burgers were not good at all. The fries were very good, fresh cut and twice fried. But cannot stomach the burger just to get the fries.
re: texasredtop
What restaurants do you like, Texasredtop?
re: Lambowner
I "like" a lot of restaurants. The ones I love are El Tiempo, Mardi Gras Grill, Floyd's, Al-T's, Grotto, Americas, Don Carlos, Morton's of Chicago, Barry's Pizza, and many more. I just ate at Nic's in OK City a couple of weeks ago and WOW, best burger I've eaten since I moved away from Louisiana in 1970. It was so good!!
None of the restaurants above hold a candle to my favorites in NOLA though. I like good food but because I am a good cook, it's hard to find somewhere than can top my own dish made at home. Fried chicken and rice and gravy for lunch tomorrow with sauteed spinach, rolls and a crab-apple pie that was made by my friend in northern Alberta that made the trip home with us in the ice chest. Sunday is fried shrimp (there are no better ones out there that I have found). Then and only then will I have my fried food fix for the month and move to eating more healthy things until the cravings kick in again :-)
Have you eaten at Mooyah and found it good? Like I said, the ff were great. Burger was blah.

re: texasredtop
Nope, haven't tried Mooyah. But I know where I'm going for rice and gravy today! :)
I've been to Al-T's in Winnie, is there another one?
re: Lambowner
The only one is in Winnie. It's hard to find fried frog legs and there's are really good!! I usually plan all trips east where we can eat at Al-T's either heading out or heading back in. Their dirty rice is really yummy too.
re: texasredtop
A lot of comments online make it sound like Mooyah outside of Dallas area locations generally tend to be hit or miss. The ones in Dallas fall in line with the rest of the "better" fast food burger place. Think of a similar tier as Five Guys, Smashburger, or In-N-Out. Some have also argued they are a carbon copy of Five Guys. These are good places for a thin patty style burger, but I wouldn't send someone on a rush to try them out.
I've tried damn near everything on their menu because I had a year of free Mooyahs when they first opened:
And re: the fries, they asked for all sorts of feedback on how to make them better and they took it to heart. I would also say it's a toss-up between them vs. Smashburger for the best fries, for this style of burger place. However I don't have anything positive to say about the burgers at Smashburger.
To me, Tornado Burger in Stafford is the best amongst the "better" fast-food style burger joints. That includes In-N-Out, which to me is severely overrated to begin with and I think there are many burger places in Texas that are just as good or better than them.
If I still lived in Houston, Tornado would be my go-to for a burger. The tremendous attention to detail is impressive: hand leafed lettuce, never frozen hand made patties, blanched fries, fresh bread provided daily from a local bakery (just to name a few things). I prefer the way they have spiced the patties. The flavor and kick from that spiceburger has redefined the 2x2 for me. Writing about this really has me craving one now.

re: air
I had a Tornado Burger last month and I have to agree it is very good (its sister Tornado Taco down the road also gets raves). But as between 5 Guys and Smashburger (which are comparable and forever linked in my mind because they drove into Houston practically on the same day), I choose Smashburger hands down. It depends on your "type." If you are a dry burger type, 5 Guys is your place. But if you like the juicy burger running down your elbows, that's Smashburger. I had a much touted Burger Guys gourmet burger this weekend and was really disappointed that it was overdone and dry.
Tornado Burger

re: Lambowner
I love Burger Guys! The burgers have great sear on them, I think they use a griddle not a grill. And the fries in duck fat are the BEST i have ever had.
I'm a Houston native, but spend a lot of time in CA and was thrilled to see that The Counter recently opened on Washington Ave.! They are all about the huge variety of choices offered, high quality meat (no hormones, antibiotics, etc.), cool but laid back atmosphere (definitely family friendly too) - a good fit for the Heights.
I love going there because I can have a different meal experience everytime and know that it will be executed well. The other night I had 1/3 beef burger (they also have turkey, chicken, and veggie patties), on a multigrain bun, with feta, mixed greens, scallions, sauteed mushrooms, and tzatziki sauce. I have a business lunch there tomorrow and plan on getting the veggie patty (vegan and fully made in house) in a bowl. I believe they make almost everything in house.
Definitely a fun spot. They also have a great beer selection and great priced wines by the glass and bottles.
Under any header for "Best Burgers" in the Clear Lake NASA area, of course by now y'all must know that Stomp's Burger Joint has brought back or recreated most of S.W. Tookies' fabulous menu, and stands as the reigning champion of burgers anywhere this side of Houston (and maybe beyond).
You also know by now that Austin-based Burger Tex stepped aside for another Fish Place, on Bay Area Boulevard. Burger Tex still has a location in nearby Pearwood though.
Another Austin burger joint, Five Guys, has a few locations closer to us now, and Burger House has added a couple more too; they mimic Fuddrucker's okay . And Dallas-based Mooyah's is a cut above.
Along with long-time and now gone local favorites Jalapeno Tree and Tookies', I've heard people speak with sadness of the demise of South Shore Beer Garden with the last hurricane that also took Tookies. Take heart. SSBG's chef is Joe Lee's brother, and the two have just resurrected SS beer garden's menu inside Joe Lee's Seafood Kitchen just west of SSBG's now empty lot.

Read in the paper today that the guy that owns T-Bone Tom's, Barry Terrell, is the one reopening Tookies. When he purchased the restaurant the sale included all the recipes. T-Bone Tom's once supplied the meat for Tookie's hamburgers and will again. Fresh ground daily.

re: Cookie Baker
The Dickens you say. Sounds like a winner.
I realize this thread is older, but there are three Houston burgers that just can't be topped... and I only saw one listed here.
Beck's Prime is the burger's burger. Hearty and meaty with an awesome texture.
BRC, the amazing Gastropub on Shepherd, offers their slightly sweet Pub Burger as a traditional sandwich AND as a topper for the Pub Burger Bowl... a 'salad' that features garden greens, maple bacon, avocado and their housemade ranch dressing... tossed with the Pub Burger, cut into sixteenths, and ... wait for it... french fries.
Perhaps the most obvious omission from this list of 'bests'... Mockingbird Bistro's American Kobe Beef Buger, topped with a slab of seared foie gras and served on a slow dough onion bun with frites. The best $32 you will spend this week.
Honorable Mention: The Black Bean Burger at Baba Yega in Montrose is the finest veggie burger I have ever tasted.

1985 Welch, Houston, TX 77019
re: Jaymes
My one and only burger at Mooyah was absolutely tasteless. How can a beef burger patty have no taste? I would never get another burger there. I did eat all the yummy fries though.
I just returned from a trip back home to Houston, and I had a fantastic burger at Ruggles Bakery and Grill in Rice Village. I know, it's not a burger joint nor a greasy spoon, but that really was one fine burger.
Wow, 70+ posts and no one has mentioned my favorites:
Bubba's Buffalo Burgers (they serve regular burgers too) - wierd location & not a physical location that impresses
Miller's (they have 2-3) locations, a heart attack on a plate to be sure, but awesome!
Black Lab for their blue cheese burger, though service can be an issue
I'll second the burger at BRC - yum!
re: DaTulip
We too like the burgers at Millers.
Sad to say, the newly opened Tookies is nothing like the original pre-Ike Tookies. I couldn't wait for the reopening, only to try it and find that it's now more or less a bar. The quality of the meat on the burgers isn't there, and the place is loud, bar-like. I'm a burger aficianado, and have tried the top-recommended places, like Beck's Prime, and Langford's (featured on DDD), and a little bakery that makes good burgers -- across the street from the Blue Bird on Alabama. But honestly the best burger I've had in Houston is at the Avalon Diner on Westheimer. Sad about Tookies; if you're in the area, try Stomps Ice House on 146 in Baycliff for good burgers.
re: texasnative1
I was there in the first week they reopened and I found it exactly the same as before and had a great squealer and onion rings. In fact, the only reason we haven't been back was that it was so crowded. I hope it hasn't reinvented itself since the reopening, that would be disappointing. I love Beck's Prime and Pappa Burgers too. I'll have to try Avalon and Stomps.
re: texasnative1
I've been back to Tookies twice since it reopened and I too didn't think it was as good as the pre-Ike Tookies. I thought it was just me. I've only had the squealer which is all I ever ordered so I'm not sure I remembered it better then it was or it's just not the same.
My daughter was saying just today that the burgers at Stomps are suppose to be good and that she was told the cook/cooks there once worked at Tookies.
re: tlegray
That's true about Stomp's. I'm going to try it tomorrow so I'll let ya know.
re: texasredtop
Well, Stomp's was "different". The burger that was the #99 (I think that was the name of it) at Tookie's is called something else at Stomp's and that is what I got. It was odd. It tasted good but the meat fell all apart and off the burger into pieces when you picked it up. I wouldn't order that one again and if the meat on the other burgers fall apart like that, I'll quit eating there. It was a mess. A tasty mess but not worth the trouble. The onion rings were good and daughter had a grilled chicken sandwich that was very good and not overcooked and dry. It wasn't very crowded and our service was good.
re: texasnative1
I had a bacon cheeseburger at Avalon Diner on Westheimer today and it is very good. One of the best ones around in my book. I still like the one I got at Pappy's better (the meat was better) but the one at Avalon was a classic old time burger. Chili cheese fries were just okay. The onion rings were great. Malt was delicious.
re: texasredtop
Get yourself back to Avalon at your earliest convenience for their limeades -- indescribable!!!
re: texasnative1
Langford's is no longer a contender at all on the Houston burger scene. I had a great burger at Red Lion a few months ago, even called it the best in Houston. When I went back and ordered it again, it was overcooked (cooked through for a medium rare order) and not as good. I still think their meat, bun, veggie combo is an overlooked prize in Houston and will order it again hoping the over cook was a bad day in the kitchen.
I recently had a Kobe burger at District 7 on Pierce and thought it was excellent. Its Kobe beef, caramelized onions and mozzarella with their spread. A few too many onions for me so removed about half but I'm looking forward to going back
My lastest best burger in town is Rockwell's Tavern on Telge in Cypress.
The King Bubba, really good, jalapeno bun, bacon, over easy egg and comes with fries, sweet potato fries or onion rings.
The guy who opened this place sold it - still tastes the same, but I think he has opened another place called the Love Shack - also in Cypress. I have not eaten here yet, but is on my list
A few friends and I have been on a quest for the best burger in Houston. We are only able to hit the west side of town as well as Katy and Atascocita, but we have come up with a new leader. After consuming pounds of meat, bread and potatoes to try to find a winner, we might have done it. "Jonathan's The Rub" has a really unbelievable burger. When you first see it , you think, "OMG?!". It is 9 ounces of seasoned ground chuck about an inch thick, with a special sauce, two cheeses on a Sheila Partin sweet sourdough bun - and whatever fixins' you want. I've had 4 of these, and as with all burgers, if it is overdone, the taste goes downhill. I did have one over medium burger that was just good and not great. The other times were all remarkable. If not for time issues, I'd have sent back the medium well.
Our other back-up burgers are Christian's Tailgate, Beck's Prime and for the time constrained - 5 Guys. They are all really good burgers.
I think if I could get a Rub Burger at Jonathan's with the Cajun fries from 5 Guys, I would be in heaven.
Had a daily groupon and finally hit the shack - really good beef. I had the 5 napkins which is the 8 oz bacon burger with an overeasy egg on it. Really good jalapeno sourdough bun. This is the same as the King Bubba at Rockwell's on Telge.
Rockewell's and this place is the best burger I have had in Houston (both opened by the same guy). The restaurant is rustic, and mostly outdoors, so my wife and I were the only people there when we went - we sat in a semi-inclosed area right next to a fire, but it was still cold. They had a big fire pit in the courtyard. This is more of a warm weather place, but the burger was really really good.
I did not get frieds, but plan to get the bacon, brisket, cheddar covered fries next time.
We plan to take my wife's sister here when she visits from New Jersey.
Not to diss restaurants just trying to make it, but I was sorely disappointed in the newly opened Tookies in Seabrook. It was opened by the folks who've made a success of T-Bone Tom's in Seabrook, which has fairly good food, but the Tookies is a shadow of its former self. It's become more of a bar scene, less emphasis on great burgers. Ditto for Five Guys. I swear I don't know what all the hype is about -- their burger was just mediocre, big wedges of fries are not my fave, and the prices are way out of line for a burger, fries, and a Coke. Lankford's is good but not great, certainly not what it used to be. However, Avalon's burgers are still as great as they've been for 20+ years -- probably because the same cooks have been there for decades. Before you leave this Earth, treat yourself to one of Avalon's limeades. It's on Westheimer.
re: texasnative1
I went to Tookie's the second or third week they reopened and it seemed just the same as it had been before. I really liked it. But things can change fast with restaurants. We recently went to Stomps and I wasn't too impressed.
We both had chocolate malts today as the diet resumes tomorrow. It was too much. Wish I'd known about the limeade before I went :-) But I'll have no problem returning.
re: texasnative1
Tookie's in Seabrook gets my vote for best burger - I went last weekend and although I'm not a big burger eater, usually get fish or chicken, wanted something different so I ordered a burger for a change. It was the "Squealer" with bacon and hamburger meat ground up together. Maybe it was a fluke or my lucky day but I think that was the juiciest, most deliciously rich-flavorful burger I ever had in my life. It was really fantastic. If they keep making that Squealer like they did last Friday, I'm a burger convert for life.
re: krsyindove
That's the burger I always get there too and I love it. I've only been once since it reopened and it was just like the old days. Stomps, the new place that opened down 146 that claims to be like the old Tookie's did not win me over at all. It's a good burger but I'll always opt for Tookie's over Stomps.
A few weeks ago I had another burger at Pappy's on I-10. Just a regular hamburger. It was delicious. They served me frozen fries and I questioned it. You now have to request fresh cut fries but they happily brought me some and all was right with the world. Pappy's is still #1 for me. I think it's the homemade bun that puts it over the top.
When I'm in Tomball I have to eat at Mel's Country Cafe 24814 Stanolind Road 77375 Great hamburgers.
Red Robin is good especially with all the french fries you can eat.
re: Lambowner
I have always wanted to try the Red Lion, haven't made it yet. I was in Katy yesterday and ate at J-Dubs burger barn www.jdubsburgerbarn.com/
Really good burger - wide choice of buns, I had Jalapeno bun with the mushroom cheddar burger. Small dining area, little house really. Best I have had in Katy by a long shot

A hearing in Oklahoma took two days to decide the immediate fate of a police officer, and it just concluded. The result is that the police officer is going to have to go to trial. He has been accused of sexual assault in a number of cases, involving a grand total of 13 different women.
Before the hearing took place, the man was facing 32 different counts. At the conclusion of the hearing, that number had moved up to 36.

I didn't have a ton of holiday traditions growing up. Having a less than perfect childhood makes me a sucker for anything trendy when it comes to the holidays. So even though most parents seem to enjoy the Elf on the Shelf only when making him perform unspeakable acts or just loathe him outright, I have several reasons why I am jingle bell-ing myself with excitement over starting the the Elf On A Shelf tradition with my kids this year.

Producer Rockwilder has reacted to Polow Da Don's recent statements of most producers being followers to his blueprint of production.
In a video clip, the renowned hitmaker speaks on the vast amount of artists known for being trend setters rather than followers.
"I could name a lot of people that are not followers," Rock said. "The Runners ain't no followers. Cool & Dre, Kanye [West] is not a follower. [DJ] Toomp. Swizz Beatz…You gotta watch the words fam, 'cause everybody else ain't followers…A lot of styles that are being done now have been done before…I don't know nobody that's following y'all…I just wanna let everybody know I can name a lot of people tha are not followers." (World Star Hip-Hop)
Rockwilder's response stems from an earlier interview Polow did alongside Keri Hilson speaking on his production skills.
"I'm a very passionate person," Polow said. "Very opinionated…Mysellf, Timbaland and Danja[handz], I think, I know we are the top three producers in the game. Everybody else is just followers, how you doing? So it's our duty to put the pressure on ourselves." (Hip-Hop 24/7)
With over 17 years of production credits to his name, Rockwilder is known for working with predominatly New York rap acts.
After early production credits on late '90s albums by Redman (Muddy Waters, 1996), Erick Sermon (Insomnia, 1996), Busta Rhymes (When Disaster Strikes, 1997), EPMD (Back in Business, 1997), and Organized Konfusion (Equinox, 1997), Rockwilder went on to become one of the East Coast's most prized producers, laying down tracks for high-profile rappers such as Jay-Z and Prodigy, while continuing to work with rappers such as Busta Rhymes and Redman. (All Music)
Polow Da Don has worked with a variety of artists in the past few years.
Credits include Ludacris' "Runaway Love," Fergie's "London Bridge," Young Buck's "Get Buck," Fabolous' "Real Play Like," Chris Brown's "Forever," Usher's "Love In This Club," and more. (Discogs)

Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive
Hatcher Graduate Library
913 S. University Avenue
Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1190
A collection of American culinary history: cookbooks and other materials from the 16th through the 20th century
We are not just what we eat, but how we eat — not to mention when, where and with whom. Cookbooks, menus, advertisements, manuals of table etiquette and the like may not be written to preserve the history of everyday life, but that's exactly what they do.
And this is what makes the library's Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive so valuable. Containing more than 15,000 items, it paints a rich and unique portrait of American life over the centuries.
"On one level, the collection is about what people cooked and ate — but that's just a doorway to explore how people saw themselves and their neighbors," says collection curator JJ Jacobson.
Through the culinary archive one can explore changing attitudes towards diet and health, homemaking, commercial dining and the industrialization of food production. It also reveals historical ideas about race, class, and gender.
"This is the kind of history that's not concerned so much with empires, kings and battles, but with where the wheat comes from, how the bread is made, how ethnic groups adopte each others recipes, and what their cultures tell women and men they should be like," Jacobson adds.
And food continues to be an important part of our culture — contemporary discussions about organic produce, fast food, Atkins and other diet fads, concentrated feed lots, vending machines in schools and the merits of vegetarianism all stem from historical contexts chronicled in the archive.
The collection is shaped by the donation of a rich assemblage of cookbooks, menus, and other material collected over many years by Jan Longone, an adjunct curator in the U-M Special Collections Library, and her husband Dan.
Not so long ago, even the concept of American culinary history was met with skepticism.
"[Critics] said America had no cuisine or culinary history to speak of; all we ate were hamburgers," Jan Longone wrote of attitudes at an Oxford University food symposium in the 1980s. Yet today the archive is recognized as a premier collection for the study of American culture as it relates to food and home life.
Writing in the Boston Globe, renowned chef James Beard called an exhibit of works from the collection "an unequaled feat of culinary scholarship."
"Not all the cookbooks are good cookbooks, but they are all interesting and the authors, mainly women, were an amazing group who did a great deal to influence American history," Beard wrote in the 1984 column.
And the collection has only continued to grow and evolve since then. Formerly held at U-M's William L. Clements Library, it was transferred to the U-M Library in 2013 where its potential for teaching and scholarship can be fully realized.

The Patriots are a team full of veterans, most of whom are well-entrenched. But come training camp next week, there are a few spots that remain up in the air. Here's a look at five position battles we'll be watching when camp opens next Thursday in Foxborough.
NO. 3 WIDE RECEIVER: Joey Galloway vs. Greg Lewis. With Jabar Gaffney in Denver, these two veterans are the best options for the third receiver spot. Galloway appears to have had a better spring, and is likely a step or two ahead of Lewis on the depth chart -- there were times this spring where the former Philadelphia receiver looked like he was struggling a bit to pick up some of the nuances of the New England passing game.
Lewis does have a fan in Tom Brady -- the quarterback praised him during OTA's for a "ridiculous" catch -- but his re-education hasn't gone as smoothly as he had hoped.
"Everything is new to me," Lewis said. "I was in Philadelphia for six years, so I'm used to how everything went about there. Now, coming here, everything has changed. I just have to get used to different things and that nature. But everything is a surprise for me. Everything is new."
Both have experience in the return game, but for whatever reason, only Galloway saw time there in spring practices, working with Kevin Faulk and Wes Welker as a punt returner. That may be a sign that even though Galloway is older -- he's 37, while Lewis is 29 -- he could have a bigger overall role than Lewis. Plus, he can still fly.
RIGHT TACKLE: Nick Kaczur vs. Sebastian Vollmer. Call it The Big Canadian vs. The Big German. Kaczur is the incumbent, having started 29 regular-season games at right tackle the last two seasons. But the 6-foot-4, 315-pounder out of Brantford, Ontario could be pushed this year by the 6-foot-8, 315-pound Vollmer, who grew up in Germany and blossomed into an All-Conference USA tackle while at Houston.
I've told this story before, but it bears repeating -- the best way to gauge the abilities of a young offensive lineman and how he is adapting to the Patriots system is to watch for two things: One, you keep an eye out for how often he's verbally undressed by veteran offensive line coach Dante Scarnecchia. Two, watch how many laps he is forced to run after a mistake. Throughout the spring practices, I never saw Vollmer get called out by Scarnecchia or have to run a single penalty lap.
At rookie minicamp, organized team activities and full-squad workouts, Vollmer saw time at both tackle positions. Barring injury, he will likely enter training camp as a backup at both positions. But if Kaczur struggles or left tackle Matt Light go down, Vollmer will be the first one off the bench. (Expect Ryan O'Callaghan to figure into the mix at the right tackle spot somewhere down the road as well.)
OUTSIDE LINEBACKER: Pierre Woods vs. The Field. Woods is competing against several players for the bulk of reps at the outside linebacker spot that opened up when the Patriots traded Mike Vrabel to Kansas City. The 6-foot-5, 255-pound Woods saw the bulk of time when Adalius Thomas went down midway through the 2008 season. Not overly impressive, he was nonetheless a solid replacement who looked like he was improving as he saw more time. But two weeks after he registered a career-high nine tackles in a 34-31 overtime loss to the Jets on Nov. 13, Woods busted his jaw in a blowout loss against the Steelers, sidelining him for the rest of the season.
Shawn Crable, Tully Banta-Cain and (to a lesser extent) Vince Redd all remain as other options. If New England fails to go out and get another outside linebacker before the start of the season (Oakland's disgruntled Derrick Burgess still remains a trade possibility), the 27-year-old Woods figures to see most of the reps opposite Thomas, with Crable spelling him on passing downs.
NO. 3 QUARTERBACK: Matt Gutierrez vs. Brian Hoyer. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that barring a veteran free-agent signing (Brian Griese being the most likely candidate), Kevin O'Connell has a pretty good shot at the No. 2 quarterbacking job. That leaves the No. 3 spot up for grabs between Gutierrez and Hoyer.
Gutierrez is the classy veteran who has done everything the Patriots have asked of him since he showed up as an undrafted free agent in May 2007. Disarmingly pleasant with the media, he's usually the first one on the practice field and the last one off. In the last two-plus years, New England has invested more time and energy in Gutierrez than almost any other player.
But if Hoyer does turn out to impress in camp, it could mean the end of the Gutierrez era. An undrafted free agent out of Michigan State, Hoyer performed well enough during rookie minicamp to earn an invite to the organized team activities and full-squad workouts, and he apparently showed enough in those sessions to warrant an invite to training camp.
LONG SNAPPER: Nathan Hodel vs. Jake Ingram. Call it the battle to replace Lonie Paxton. In one corner, you have the steady veteran in Hodel, someone who has been around a long time, has a track record with new special teams coach Scott O'Brien and has worked on the biggest stage (he was the long snapper last season with the Arizona Cardinals). In the other corner, there's Ingram, one of the best long collegiate long snappers in the country last year while at Hawaii, so good he was one of only two long snappers invited to the NFL Scouting Combine.
While both appeared to have successful spring practices, kicker Stephen Gostkowski certainly isn't playing favorites -- not yet, anyway.
"I think it's going smooth so far. You can't expect too much in minicamps," Gostkowski said. "They're working hard. It always takes a couple of weeks to get the timing down, whenever you have a new guy -- no matter how good they are.
"But I think (holder) Chris (Hanson) has done a real good job of holding and doing a good job of getting in tune with Nate and Jake. They're working hard -- only time will tell who comes out and who is more consistent."

Audi brought the original RS6 over to the US in 2002 and created quite a stir. This was a super sedan to give the M5 a run for its money, and that's not a very common thing. This made it all the more heartbreaking when the next generation, even more insanely powerful and incredible, didn't make it over to our shores. Then, just recently, we got some pictures of the upcoming third-generation RS6 Avant, which were followed closely by the news that we wouldn't be getting it in the US. This would normally send fans of the four rings into a deep funk, but Audi's debut of the RS7 in Detroit made us instantly forget all about the RS6. Mechanically, the two cars are identical, but the RS7 wears an attractive fastback body, while the RS6 is a regular sedan.
It almost seems impossible, but the RS7 is even more attractive than the already beautiful A7 that it's based off of. The front fascia is now adorned with big ducts which clearly mean business, and there is the usual honeycomb grille. Also typically RS-like are the aluminum-look side mirrors and the dual oval exhausts. There is still plenty of leather in the interior, but the wood of the A7 has been replaced with carbon fiber, and it looks amazing. Under the hood is a Bentley-sourced 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 rated at 560 horsepower and 517lb-ft of torque. That power is sent through an eight-speed ZF transmission, with 40 percent of it going to the front wheels and 60 percent to the back. Audi says it'll get to 60mph in 3.9 seconds, and there is an optional performance package which raises the electronically governed top speed from 155mph to 190mph. Cylinder deactivation allows the RS7 to cruise on four-cylinder power and combined with start/stop gets it a rating of 21 combined mpg on the European test cycle; although it should be noted that the European cycle is hopelessly optimistic, and this figure has essentially no meaning in the real world.
The RS7 is an awesome piece of machinery, and one which we'll actually be getting in the US. Prices are expected to be in the neighborhood of $100,000. I guess it's time to rob that bank.
