    The Lake House at Discovery Green has awesome burgers, dogs, and great sweet potato fries.

    blue01 Wed, 04/01/2009 - 3:34pm

    Hubcaps is delicious go after lunch hours because it's packed during lunch...

    Jacked and Tan Wed, 04/01/2009 - 3:41pm

    and be sure you take cash with you....no credit cards :(

    bbbatteries Wed, 04/01/2009 - 3:46pm

    and be sure to jog back to your car/office when you leave. because they are greasy burgers.

    blue01 Wed, 04/01/2009 - 3:47pm

    and their fries aren't good just burgers...

    bbbatteries Wed, 04/01/2009 - 3:47pm

    and if you go when its raining dont get lost...

    Nicki Britton Wed, 04/01/2009 - 9:58pm

    I like the sweet potato fries.

    Lina Fuh Thu, 04/02/2009 - 12:14pm

    Bubba's is good too but they don't serve fries.

    Ed T. Thu, 04/02/2009 - 3:36pm

    My two faves (Amazon Grill and Smashburger) didn't make the list :-(

    YoungHouston Thu, 04/16/2009 - 3:24am

    Beck's Prime is always consistent- juicy and delicious! Great fries too.

    Smashburger!

    Anonymous Fri, 03/19/2010 - 10:59am

    It is ok not worth the price for the flatten tasteless meat

    sarac Sun, 04/19/2009 - 1:50pm

    I would like to hear more about Smashburger since there's one close to my house. What's so great?

    bifid Sun, 04/19/2009 - 10:58pm

    me 2. dont get it

    eatoutalot. Thu, 10/14/2010 - 10:42am

    Smashburger is OK, about like Five Guys, but you get table service,wait a while and get a slightly better than average burger.
    Go to Beck's for something special.Costs more but you get more.

    Shoegirl Sun, 08/02/2009 - 2:04pm

    I can't believe Speedy Burger didn't make this list. It made the Texas Monthly list and BELIEVE ME it is worth trying! They make the BEST Mexican burger just like they make them in the state of Nuevo Leon. Patty, a slice of ham, cheese, avocado, tomato, and jalapeño either on the burger or on the side.

    Had Hubcap for lunch today and I'm worthless now.

    What were you worth before??? #curious

    Anonymous Fri, 03/19/2010 - 11:02am

    ok specialty burgers, however it hard to get to and over priced for specialty burger buns or ok being different...

    Bob Wed, 02/24/2010 - 12:21am

    You must try 'Smashburger' Louetta close to 249, across from HEB in the Vintage.

    Anonymous Thu, 03/04/2010 - 9:53am

    Too bad Pappa's Burger didn't make the list. It's one of my favorites. Just not on Sundays, because too many families with kids are there and it gets a little too crazy for my taste.

    Ken Thu, 03/04/2010 - 6:34pm

    Check out Rockwell's Tavern and grill in Cypress!!!

    New management! Went today for lunch and it was amazingly delicious! Great new lunch specials too!

    Anonymous Mon, 03/08/2010 - 5:29pm

    Cisco's Mexican Restaurant and Deli, delicious hambugers, I was told they were good and found out for myself. Bammel N Houston @ W Richey Rd. across from old HEB location. They serve breakfast.

    Anonymous Wed, 03/31/2010 - 12:18pm

    No Pappys?

    I also like the bar burger at The Strip downtown and feel that pappas Burger deserves at least a mention despite the high cost.

    Some good ideas here but Id probably take a bunch of issue with the ordering, but suppose thats the nature of burger lists. Sort of a mixture of taste, cost, ambiance and history here I think.

    Anonymous Fri, 04/30/2010 - 9:34am

    five guys in conroe is really good also.....

    burgerman Tue, 05/04/2010 - 8:11am

    In my book Little Bitty Burger Barn has the best charbroiled hamburger in town. They also serve some of the best fresh cut french fries!

    Anonymous2011 Sat, 04/02/2011 - 9:43am

    The Little Bitty Burger Barn at Pinemont and Antoine (east of Antoine)has the best burgers in Houston. Hole in the wall, but the BEST!

    Todd Tue, 05/25/2010 - 2:44pm

    no Pappa's Burger OR Petrol Station?!?!?!!?!?!

    wtf.

    Anonymous Tue, 05/25/2010 - 4:40pm

    What? Where is McDonalds on this damn list? ;)

    rhapsody Tue, 05/25/2010 - 11:56pm

    Little Bigs should be number 30

    Tina Z. Wed, 05/26/2010 - 12:51pm

    No love for Barnaby's (original)? They make 'em with happy beef. Fries rock too.

    dali_diner Mon, 11/29/2010 - 4:55pm

    I love Barnaby's burgers, they are hands-down the best!!!!!!!! I had the best buffalo burger there, and when i lived across the street i had to have it once a week. Anyone who hasn't tried it, go for it! it's juicy but very low in fat... delicious!!! And i like mine on the rare side, i think it kept the extra lean meat juicier.... :-)

    Perry's Steakhouse locations happy hour Kobe beef burger for six bucks until 6:30 pm is a great deal. I agree about Rockwell's in Cypress too. Great burgers!!

    Anonymous Fri, 07/02/2010 - 7:42pm

    GO TO BECKS PRIME THEIR BURGERS ARE AMAZING, THE FRIES ARE OK...(Try the all-new chips with queso and guac. its pretty good)

    RisingSun Thu, 07/22/2010 - 5:32pm

    CLiff's Grill could be the best burger in Houston. It's located in the Medical Center

    Oldgoat7 Sun, 07/25/2010 - 10:32pm

    You need to add Smashburger to the list

    One Voice Wed, 08/18/2010 - 10:00am

    Smashburger is a chain restaurant.

    gail Sun, 09/26/2010 - 12:40pm

    SmashBurger on Louetta @ 249 is the best burger I have had in years!

    just me Fri, 10/01/2010 - 2:58pm

    I've been checking out places on the list. Went to Hubcap a couple of weeks ago. Good burger, but nothing I'd go back for. Trying to park, and find a spot to sit and eat just made it difficult.

    Live by Mytiburger. Burgers are good, fries, tots, onion rings, just so so.

    MIllers also close by. It's OK. Went to Itty Bitty tuesday night, and was bummed. The meat was just there, and the bun was hard. They have really good coleslaw. Might have been an off night.

    I always enjoy Becks. Next time I'm in Market Square area, and can deprive myself of TReebeards (YUMMMMMMM), I'm gonna check out Market Square Bar & Grill. I keep hearing about those burgers.

    And it's been awhile since I've been to Lankfords.

    Have to say, best burger I've had in ages was from Petrol! The Oak Forest area is really getting alot of burger joints. What does that say about us????

    Mooooo.

    Just tried the chessy cheeseburger at Skeeter's. You gotta go get this.

    Anonymous Wed, 10/20/2010 - 3:30pm

    Haven't seen Prince's Hamburgers on the list. They make an awesome burger and have been in Houston and only Houston for over 75 years!

    bjbsth Wed, 10/20/2010 - 3:48pm

    I agree, native Houstonian for 54 years, Prince's is a Houston Tradition. Onion Rings are also incredible.

    boodah Thu, 01/06/2011 - 11:13am

    I agree Prince's burgers rock and the rings are awesome.

    danduhman Wed, 02/02/2011 - 5:22pm

    The bacon cheese burger @ Texas hamburger palace is wonderful they never seem to get any mention i have been eating their for years and so does my cardiologist

    Amazing Grace Mon, 03/28/2011 - 7:15am

    I'll take BURGER TEX OR PO'S ANY DAY!!!!!

    Keith Thu, 03/31/2011 - 11:03pm

    I will still take a belt buster at Dairy Queen.

    BMW doctor Fri, 06/17/2011 - 8:54pm

    in my opinion:

    district 7 grilled ahi burger.
    Lankfords grocery Grim burger, or the firehouse.
    Pappa's downtown cheese burger(why the hell do they only serve it past 2:00?!?!?)
    christians tailgate chicken burger
    Bernie's burger bus "detention" oy vey!

    Manfred Thu, 10/13/2011 - 9:59am
