Local Specialty Burger Joints

[benefactor]

Just had a new one open near me called Burger Grind. Holy shit it's amazing. I've been every Saturday for the past month. Gonna have heart disease before spring.:lol

Good places near you? Austin/SA area? I'm always down to hit up a good local burger place when I'm down that way.

[DPG21920]

Hopdoddy is solid.

[Strange Love]

They put grease on the buns? Damn

None in the Bronx that I know of. Gotta hit downtown for the good food here.

[DJR210]

If you're passing through SA and want to contribute to that heart disease goal of yours, try these:

Bobby J's - Technically in Helotes, but it's 5 minutes outside 1604.

Armadillo's - Fucking amazing burgers here..they offer the ginormous burgers if you're into presentation. You can get one of the giant burgers and split it with someone.

Fattboy Burgers and Dogs - Good place to catch a Spurs game IMO.

Hopdoddy is the best burger chain IMO.

Hopdoddy is right down the street from the hotel I'll be staying at. Will check it out for sure. :tu

You in Austin? Let me know if you need any other recommendations

this is why mcdonalds is going down the toilet, places like these.Who goes to McDonalds when they want a real burger? I don't think these places compete with McDonalds. I think Taco Bells resurgence and the healthier Subway push has more impact. There's always been better burgers than McDonalds.

I get fast food burgers when I receive coupon in the mail "2 for 3 or 4"

But for the most part fast food is good for the additional corky stuff you can order like nuggets, tacos or onion rings

[Wild Cobra]

I cannot attest to any recent years for a burger joint, but those years back when I lived in the area, there was no better place than Big Jim's.

If you are ever in the Mid Columbia, crossing the Columbia River between Oregon and Washington at highway 197, check this place out.

[baseline bum]

I'm a Chris Madrid's fan. Still as awesome as it was back when he was running the place.

Just for one night then headed back the next day. I will need a breakfast taco place for in the morning though. I'm staying on I35 near 183.

Taco Deli, Mi Madres or Torchy's are all good options. Taco Deli & Torchy's have plenty of locations, and Mi Madres should be on the way back to SA (of 35 & Manor: http://www.mimadresrestaurant.com )

[leemajors]

Veracruz has some of the best tacos, but all their trucks are downtown.

I'll be in Austin all day, so I'll be looking for something in the general area of my hotel. I'll Google those and find a location close.

Fast food is just different textured filler to be dipped in some kind of sauce. If I take it home, it's a given that I'm putting Franks Red Hot on something. And I love dipping a Quarterpounder in BBQ sauce.

Is Chesters still legit? Haven't been in years...Also, I know you either hate it or love it, but is Biff Buzzby's still around?

Cheaters is legit. Green chili cheeseburger is solid. Sam's burger joint make a fine burger as well.

I think Taco Bells resurgence

Did Taco Bell get better or something? Haven't eaten there in probably 10 years.

[DJR210]

No, it's no better than what it was. Everything comes in bags and gets boiled.

Resurgence in terms of popularity, not food quality. At some point, it seemed like they were shutting down locations. Now they are all over the fucking place.

Really? Where do you live? I'm in SA and the only Taco Bell's that I've noticed shut down, were ones that shut down because they built a new one down the street.

[cantthinkofanything]

It's been a while. I lived in East Texas and they shut down a few. This was back when the buildings were shaped like a mission or whatever that was. It just seemed like they exploded and now they are as common in some areas as McDonalds.

I just looked it up and they've doubled the amount of locations since the 90's.

[Aztecfan03]

I thought it has actually gotten less popular and that is why they have resorted to selling all size sodas for 99 cents.

Their stupid doritos locos taco are complete shit.

[Aztecfan03]

but what about since 2010?

[cantthinkofanything]

I just had LEBANESE food

[DJR210]

You must have been sober when you had them.

[Aztecfan03]

i'm always sober.

[cantthinkofanything]

i'm always sober.Then why'd you eat at Taco Bell?

[Aztecfan03]

Then why'd you eat at Taco Bell?

Because im a fat fuck ok. jk im actually about 140 pounds. But I do eat way too much fast food.

[DJR210]

i'm always sober.

Well, there you go. Fast food is for morbidly obese and stoners.

[CosmicCowboy]

Back to the OP The Cove rocks. Good burgers, sweet potato fries, good local music and 56 Texas beers on tap

[Infinite_limit]
