Slick Vik Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Stanton's and Petrol Station are the best burgers I've had in Houston. Burger House in Webster has an excellent bugolgi burger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNiche Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Is Petrol Station still the same or is it Catty Corner now? Or maybe I wasn't quite sure where it was...Yeah, Petrol Station is hard to find. It's at the corner of Wakefield and Golf. I'm becoming a regular there. They satisfy my twice-a-week Rancor Burger craving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I've eaten at Hubcap Grill on 19th three times in the last 10 days. There may be better burgers in town, but there aren't any better closer to my house. Good food, recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infinite_jim Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Any opinions on the Counter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slick Vik Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Personally I liked the counter. The combinations you can make are interesting. That being said burgers should be cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylejack Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Any opinions on the Counter?I haven't been. Ricky from Hubcap says no bueno. He's the competition, so take with grain of salt, but he likes Bernie's Burger Bus and a few others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skwatra Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Any opinions on the Counter?nothing amazing, but i do like all the different options you have. could be the one i built wasn't the best combo, i'll probably give it another shot. I've only been in LA, i'm assuming the menu is the same here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatesdisastr Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Petrol Station is legit. Specially on Mondays with their pub burger/fries/pint for 9.99Can't beat it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utinga Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I tried Ray's this weekend. It was great! I second, third and forth that. I've yet to find a burger I enjoy as well as Good Times in Denver,Co (local chain) I for the life of me I will never understand the fascination with Lucky's burgers. When I first moved back to Houston, I lived on Roseland off Richmond and was told I must go there. Sorry, a frozen flat as a pancake, a burger does not make. Ditto, my new hood and Papas, sorry, IMO From what I've read I now have a mutitude of new burger joints to try out. As much as Niche may dislike me I shall give his recommendations a go.

Marksmu Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Probably very different than what everyone else is recommending but Kelly's Country Cooking has what I deem to be the best burger for the money....its big, its cooked to perfection and the price is right. It is a bit more.....country?....not sure the word for the place, but the burger is excellent and everything else on the menu is enough for two people!

TheNiche Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 As much as Niche may dislike me I shall give his recommendations a go. I don't dislike you. I only ranted at you once or twice. That's nothing special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utinga Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I don't dislike you. I only ranted at you once or twice. That's nothing special. I wasn't feeling special, not in the least. I appreciate well written rants, yours are among the livelier postings. In general they tend to be straight up. I just believe your posting to my living choices were bordering on gormless.

kylejack Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I second, third and forth that. Ray's Franks closed quite some time ago. It briefly became Hung Burgers, and is now a place called Latin Bites, a quite good byob establishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simbha Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Food & Wine magazine released their list of the Best Burgers in the US recently (maybe today). Despite Houston's reputation as having some of the best burgers in the US, the editors seemingly ignored our fair city in this list. In fact, Texas as a whole is ignored: With the exception of #9, the Perini Ranch Steakhouse in Buffalo Gap, Texas (near Abilene), no other Texas location is represented in this list.http://www.foodandwine.com/slideshows/best-burgers-in-the-usNow, I haven't been to many of these establishments and sampled their fare, but I would wager that at least some other Texas locations have burgers which would be considered as good - if not better - than many of these.Any thoughts on the list and this (to me) apparent snub to Texas burger eateries?

Fringe Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I saw that article. What's dumb is how they include California's In-N-Out burger. Although it might rank high in comparison to some fast food burgers, it's absolutely no comparison to a good restaurant's burger. (Actually had one in Fort Worth a couple of months ago and I fail to see the fascination). That being said I did eat a burger at the Healdsburg Bar & Grill (#22) last month and it really was good. Also ate a Super Duper Burger while in SF. Don't know for sure if it's a chain but probably one of the best fast food burgers I've ever had.

KinkaidAlum Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I hate these "best" lists but this one might be the worst. I've had both the burgers at the Boston joints and neither is a good burger. They are expensive and pretentious. I've also had the burger press in New Haven and it was interesting but far from a "best" burger. In & Out is a solid fast food burger but it couldn't touch a Bernie's Burger Bus, a Burger Guy's or even a burger from Hubcap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blade Runner Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Pappa Geno's has a cheeseburger that's akin to meaty cheesy crack.....Nom nom nom..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highrise Tower Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Veggie burgers are becoming my go-to weekend food. Hardly even eat pizza anymore. Bernie's Burger Bus makes a killer burger. Since I'm always at BLVD Place I just get a Whole Foods Beyond Meat burger. Comes with a side of house-made chips. Don't need to pay extra for fries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
