In 2013 I was in Scottsdale AZ awaiting to take my board exams. There was a Del Friscos next door to the hotel I was staying at and felt I needed to treat myself to a great meal before undergoing a potentially career changing exam. While I had never been to a Del Friscos before, I was familiar with their quality of food and steaks. I wasn’t in the mood for steak for lunch however the burger peaked my interest. Wow…what a burger! Something about that meat patty that was extremely desirable and addictive. It was so good, I returned the next day after my exam and ordered it again. I have had a lot of burgers all over Texas and the country, nothing has come close. I have always wanted to try the burger at another Del Friscos since, but never made it a priory and am honestly somewhat expecting it to be not like the first two.

So many burgers and so little time. Some of the best, based on the ones I remember: - Beck’s Prime - Alamo Springs - Coyote Bluff - Twisted Root

Back in the 1960's and early 70's. there was an old Bait shop/store in Holiday Park on Lake Benbrook. It was run by an older WWII Vet and his wife. They sold minnows /worms and a few groceries. He was in a wheelchair since the war, and did all the cooking. He made the best old fashioned American burgers, with or without cheese, charred onions, thick sliced tomatoes and pickles, lots of lettuce, mustard and those buns were sopped in the grease and toasted to perfection on the griddle. He also made hand cut fries, and sometimes even some super onion rings. I usually had it with an ice cold Big Red or a Frostie root beer. By the time I was married and my sons were old enough to eat burgers, he had long since passed away. I truly wanted to my kids to taste these wonderful burgers, so that is what inspired me for the way I cook my burgers even today. Mine still are not "that good"

I'll never charcoal a burger in my backyard again. Smash on my flat top on the patio from now on.

Not in Texas but if you are ever up my way there is a food truck and general store in the middle of nowhere on Hwy 534 Nipissing Ontario. Best bacon cheeseburger i have ever had. He makes the patties fresh each morning by grinding prime rib and bacon is thick sliced with real cheddar. https://www.facebook.com/Footesgeneral/Great hand cut fresh fries as well.

Was Jim’s burgers in Arlington on Division street. Best burger ever, half pound of beef, in a greasy restaurant with grease on walls and corners. You walked out smelling like you had a burger. Sadly development came in and forced Jim (an Asian dude) out and said he will be back. Never opened up another place and don’t know what happened to him. His burgers left an impression on a lot of people in this area. My substitute since is a place in Dallas close to 75 and 635 called JG’s., literally one of the best burgers I have has next to Jim’s. A lot cleaner on the inside. Anyone in that are has got to try their burgers, worth the drive as well. It’s about 30 mins for me and I go just to eat there. https://order.toasttab.com/online/jgsburgershttps://www.facebook.com/jgsburgers/

I’d like to know the best hamburger you ever ate. Specifically, I would like to know (with as much detail as you will ) specifically what made the hamburger appealing to you. Every burger I eat when I am really, really hungry! The best burgers I've eaten were from small-town hole-in-the-wall places.
