The Greek Burger Dave Rossman
2 locations, including Heights Beer Garden and Downtown
The problem with Hubcap: it ruins lunch forever. I mean, how can you go back to eating at Subway after you've had downtown's best bacon burger? The patties are shaped by hand from fresh beef. The buns are just study enough to absorb the ooze. The condiments are neither skimpy nor overloaded. The ambiance is trailerlicious.
Try one of the crazy combinations — Frito Pie Burger, the Triple Heart Clogger and the Greek Burger — that ooze goodness.
There’s often a wait so pack your patience -- and cash, if you're headed to the downtown grill. There’s an ATM on site for plastic devotees.
The newer Heights outpost serves cold beer and often features a band on the weekend.

Best burgers in Houston are, The Burger Guys and Hubcap Grill.
Great burger joint, and gotta love an owner tat tells it like it is, even if its not always kosher......
Im coming over from Uk in Feb so i think i will pay this place a visit, sounds good!
Had a burger there at the 19th st location on wed. for the first time! all I can say is I dont get it, they need to go out side the loop for good food!

A bunch of us went from work so I got to taste theirs. I had the bleu cheese burger and it was good. The cheese crumbles were good but they put dressing on the bottom bun and it was not so good. The bacon tasted old. The bun was not really toasted either... just kind of. I also do not like to pay for water. I will go back with my own water and order another burger. The sweet potato fries were great and the chili cheese also.
believe the hype!...best burger i ever had...and that's saying something!
I haven't tried this place yet; however, looking at the menu I have come to a conclusion that I don't believe all the hype. There is no way you can offer up a big juicy meaty double patty burger for 6.50 and it be made of the best meat out there. They have to be fried on a grill and small patties (probably not the best quality meat). There are not many great burgers in Houston. Probably the best in all of Houston is The Palm. Try it and you'll agree hands down the best.
How can you review something you've never tried?
The burger here is that good, and you suck at life.
yeah, you're right. it's definitely smart to make a judgement call about the quality of a restaurant's food purely from the online menu. this place couldn't possibly deserve the positive press they've gotten. it has to all be hype. you stick with the new york transplant restaurants.
Agree with the 2 replies - you really are ignorant and stupid. Reviewing something based on prices? Also - if you even THINK the Palm has decent food - then you are nothing but a corporate shill. Get off my website , get out of my town and go back to the hole you crawled out of.
I dont eat lunch and I miss out on everything good. I know downtown becomes a ghost town at 5 pm but damn. It'd be nice if any of these places were open for dinner.
30 minute wait time for a burger at 11:45am, no line at the door. We were prepared for a wait but the lack of customer service by the owner persuaded us to go eat elsewhere. He didn't really care if we stayed or left....
Fee - nam - anal..... or phenomenal. Working so close to Hubcap makes every workday a resistance to these magical burgers. Favorite burger place in Texas and top 5 nationwide.
you must work there!
please people...don't believe the hype. The burgers are at best average.
Yep, average to someone that does not know any better...
Better than average. The best? hmmm that is subjective, but definitely better than average.
In my taste, it was in the top five burgers I've ate, according to my burgerometer.
Good burgers. Bun is different. Specialty are great with a great price $$$...
I read this and decided, since I was downtown today, I'd give it a shot.
I got the double, based on the reviews here. $6.50 for a double cheeseburger??
My friends. If I had $650, I would go there tomorrow and demand (or threaten if there was resistance) that they make me 100 double cheeseburgers.
You would find me dead in my car, having blissfully exploded from over-consumption of the first truly orgasmic burger I've ever had. The only thing recognizable would be my huge smile. Hey, like the Cheshire Cat! Awesome!
I've pretty much quit eating red meat, except for what I call "meaty Saturday," when I go to Hubcap and scarf down AT LEAST the double-meat burger. I am telling you, no one else, anywhere, makes a burger this good. I've tried every place on the lists - no one compares.
Still haven't worked up the nerve to try their biggest, scariest burger - 3 meat patties, a grilled hot dog on top, with beef chilli and cheese smothered over the entire thing. But a boy can dream...
lol you probably eat more red meat than alot of people who don't aim to quit eating red meat....you should probably drop that line if you are eating a hamburger every week...
great burgers. they were even so nice as to bring it to my car. they did forget the guacamole on the side but...what can u do
Nothin like cloggin ur arteries... in fact, they got one called the triple bypass right? Mmmmmm. Heart-attack on a bun.
i work around the corner and i've been a fan of this place from day 1. i'm glad other folks have been checking it out.
Best. Burgers. Evar.
Converts vegitarians to carnivores - the place is that damn good.
