Looks like some good burgers, but you have to question any list that doesn't include Kincaid's in Fort Worth.

24. Burgers, Fries and Cherry Pies, Midland, The French Connection Burger


No Bueno Been there done that. The buns are sweet tasting, kinda wierd imo. I don't care for it.

Texas Monthly, aka "Austin Monthly", Magazine.

I've always thought that this rag believes that civilization ends when you cross the Travis County line. And sadly for them, blue Austin is the most "un-Texan" city in this red state. The writers for TM couldn't find Lumberton or Lueders if you gave them a map, a GPS, and a local guide. I guess it's the old blue state mentality prevalent in the written media.

Am I surprised that 8 of the top 50 burgers are served up in Austin? And probably another 8 or so within 50 miles of same? Nope, not really......

I guess they changed their name?

The sign before the name change looked like this.

Koffee
Kup
Kafe

they make a mean coconut pie too.

signs still there

Half of those places on there will cost you 10 bucks for a burger.


No one charges that much for a good burger.

I was at Alamo Springs a week ago. #3 on the list, here they are. Fantastic burgers!!!

You gotta hit the greasy spoons roadside to get burger baskets not some urban diner.....Austin, Dallas and Houston get ranked probably because the Texas Monthly judges needed 5 star hotels to sleep in. Nice to see the list though

Those look like some mighty tasty burgers.

Big Kahuna burgers. Right, Jules?

Dang those look good and thanks for sharing activescrape

That place is at the end of the road, in the middle of nowhere, in the land that time forgot. Bats flying around everywhere, burgers and live music, about 8 miles from Luchenbach, as the bat flies. Juicy, thick, ground fresh and never frozen beef, pure Texas.

Bingo, was wondering if anyone would pick up on that

What about the Dunbar in San Angelo?

Only ate at one of those places. The Koppe Bridge here in CS should be on there

This list is even worst than their "Best BBQ."

#1 burger in the state at "The Grape"???? That magazine is such a crock and has been for years.

going to the cove this weekend....

been to #15, i thought it was just ok

Buffalo burger from Prairie House...not sure if that counts.

They forgot a few places...

Dairyland in Jacksboro
Baker's Drive-In in McKinney
Burger Fixin's in Celina

Uncle Barneys San Antonio
