  1. Burger Fresh (Conroe)

Yelp/Burger Fresh

Yelp/Burger Fresh Maybe not the most clean-cut picture, but that doesn’t matter when we’re talkin’ burgers. Burger Fresh has a burger dedicated to Texas Monthly for ranking them in the top 50 best burgers in the state. It’s a 1/2 lb Angus Beef patty served on their famous Jalapeno Sourdough bun with grilled onions, bell peppers, pepper jack cheese, bacon, and avocado. You can build your own burger piled high with whatever toppings fit your fancy and add a side of fries (regular or sweet potato), tots or onion rings. To learn more about one of the best hamburgers in Texas, visit Burger Fresh’s website.

  1. Jakes Burgers and Beer (Dallas)

Facebook/jakesuptown

Facebook/jakesuptown I have no words for this beautiful creation…except that you can’t forget to try their cheddar fries on the side (and add sour cream, chives and bacon!). Because cheese. The end. Also, there are 22 burgers to choose from, so whether you’re in the mood for something fancy like hot dogs, chili and hickory sauce on your burger or a good ol’ original, Jake’s has you covered. Check out the website for Jakes Burgers to learn more.

  1. Hubcap Grill (Houston)

Yelp/Hubcap Grill

Yelp/Hubcap Grill Come try the best burger joint in Houston, according to the Chronicle! Stay traditional or go all out with one of their 19 specialty burgers like the Double Decker pictured here. And you absolutely cannot leave without getting some of their epic fries on the side. For more information, visit Hubcap Grill’s website.

  1. Kincaid’s Hamburgers (Southlake)

Yelp/Kincaid Hamburgers

  1. Roadhouse (Bastrop)

Yelp/Roadhouse

Yelp/Roadhouse Everything here is so good, it was tough to decide what to feature. I think this close-up of their Jalepeno Cream Cheese burger does the trick, don’t you? The Green Chili Cheeseburger comes in a close second. Add on a side of queso fries, and you’ll be in comfort food heaven. Visit Roadhouse Bastrop’s website to learn more.

  1. The Shack Burger Resort (Cypress)

Yelp/TheShack

Yelp/TheShack A burger RESORT? This place is ridiculous, guys. Want a no frills, meat and cheese hamburger? They’ve got it. Want cheetos, a fried egg, caramelized bananas, or even BACON MAC & CHEESE on your burger? Oh, they’ve got it. Pictured above is the aptly named “5 Napkins.” That yolk’s gotta drip somewhere. To learn more, visit The Shack Burger Resort Facebook page.

  1. Twisted Root Burger Co. (Dallas)

Yelp/TwistedRoot

Yelp/TwistedRoot Twisted Root is an alternative-type burger joint with some interesting flavor combos. You can get a standard burger, but that definitely isn’t what they’re known for. Pictured here is The Ranch Hand: Peppercorn ranch dressing, bacon, lettuce & tomato on a sesame seed bun. Another cool thing that sets them apart is all the different meats they offer! From buffalo to camel to kangaroo, they practically have the entire animal kingdom ready to be dished up. Check out Twisted Root Burger Co.’s website to learn more.

  1. Lankford’s Grocery & Market (Houston)

Yelp/LankfordGrocery

Yelp/Lankford Grocery This famous eatery is not to be missed. Mac & Cheese, a fried egg, AND bacon on a burger. Can you say yum? Visit the Lankford’s Grocery & Market Facebook page to learn more about one of the best hamburgers in Texas.

  1. Tookie’s (Seabrook)

Yelp/Tookies

Yelp/Tookies Ah, Tookie’s. Known and loved by all its patrons. Luckily they were able to rebuild after severe damage by Hurricane Ike, and they’re back and yummier than ever! Burgers just aren’t complete without a generous helping of cheese, in my opinion. Visit the website for Tookie’s Burgers to learn more.

  1. Maple and Motor (Dallas)

Yelp/Maple and Motor

Yelp/Maple and Motor Looking for the best hamburgers in Texas? This is the place to go. Simple yet bold. That’s how we do it here in The Lone Star State. Visit Maple and Motor’s website to learn more.

  1. Rosco’s Burger Inn (El Paso)

Yelp/Roscos

Yelp/Roscos You didn’t think I forgot about the Old West, did you? Rosco’s is a no-frills, straightforward burger joint - but that doesn’t mean quality is compromised at all. Sink your teeth into one of these babies and you’ll see what I mean. To learn more, visit the Rosco’s Burger Inn Facebook page.

  1. Classics Burgers and Moore (Kerrville)

Yelp/Classics

Yelp/Classics This might be an unexpected place to find an award-winning burger, but you won’t be disappointed. Their bacon cheeseburger has 5 slices of crispy bacon on it! Visit the Classics Burgers and Moore Facebook page to learn more.

  1. Mel’s Country Cafe (Tomball)

Yelp/Mel’s

Yelp/Mel’s Inside this seemingly innocent diner lies some delicious eats and one mammoth challenge. Can you defeat the Mega Mel? If you can devour 1.5 lbs of beef, 1 lb of bacon, 1/4 lb of cheese, and all the fixins, you’ll be honored on their wall of fame! To learn more, visit the website for Mel’s Country Cafe.

  1. MG’s Restaurant (Sherman)

Yelp/MG’s

Yelp/MG’s Every burger here is named after a car! How cool is that? This is “The Cadillac” AKA cheese, bacon, mustard and all the veggies. To learn more, visit the website for MG’s Restaurant.

  1. Coyote Bluff Cafe (Amarillo)

Yelp/CoyoteBluff

  1. Willie’s Place (Wichita Falls)

Yelp/Willie’s Place

Yelp/Willie’sPlace Does this place look like it’s capable of masterpieces like these? I didn’t think so either. But the Frito Chili and Mushroom Swiss Burgers are begging to differ.

  1. Keller’s Drive-In (Dallas)

Yelp/Keller’s
