... to remember.

Is Kincaids still the king ? Just wonderin.

Nut

The original is, but they are branching out. That's usually trouble. Same with Tommies. The original is closed, but I think the one on Lackland Rd. is still open.

Lakeview Burgers on EML will put them all to shame, we by far have the best burger around
Opening April 24th for our 4th season
WE are located inside Lakeview Marina on the water front

Is that the place Tommy's was in for a short time many years ago?

Lakeview Marina is a little further North off of Peden Rd they do have great burgers and friendly folks running the place as well.

Kincaids is ok, but in my opinion has always been over rated. Same with Massey's and their chicken fried steak.

They now have a store in Southlake across Kimball from Lowes. Not the same as the original store on camp Bowie. They are good burgers but, pricey.

ate at kincaids last week. great burgers!

I remember that as well, Bob. The ramp was right at the end of the restaurant. Excellent place for a ramp for burger lovers -

Is Star Cafe still going in Cowtown? They use to have a great burger.

try Al's in Arlington,best burgers in the south.

If it's the place I'm thinking they are the only true burger joing in Arlington that has a full bar. Ate there once a long time ago for lunch. Good food.

Mcdonalds

Al's is good
Rick's on the Bricks in Fort Worth had a great burger and great friend pickles. Too bad it closed

remember an old time place in downtown Fort Worth
@ 1st & Main
may have been called Greeks or Hamburgers
walk up place
man it was good

Hmm. In Texas, I thought Bob Wills was still the king?

I believe it was called Famous Hamburgers. Walked up to a window and ordered? Old greek guy and his son-in-law ran the place.

That was the best burger ever! No special orders. You get it their way or no way!

there used to be a doughnut shop on Rosedale and hemphill that did burgers and greek food. Most excellent! Great burgers and Gyro's.

that was it Nascar
absolutely best hamburger ever.
how can you make one like that ?
i was a little kid, but it still stands out

Yes! The best!!! And if I knew how to make those, I would be a rich man!!!

How about Beef Burger of Belknap? You ever try that place? It was good too.

The other great place was the Town and Country drug store on Grapevine Hwy. Used to eat lunch there several times a week when I was in high school.

no my Dad would take me to "Famous Hamburgers" when i went to work with him.
what a treat

I hear ya... My uncle used to work downtown and we I would go with my cousins to visit him now and again at lunch. Guess where we ate???

I used to work for the International truck dealer there on 35 just outta high school. I was a parts delivery driver. I found all of the good burger joints around, but that one and the drug store had the bestest burgers!

"Famous Hamburgers"
when the old man closed up he was living on northside of fortworth he was talking of opening a small shop there but I lost track of him and never found out if he did it . tobad I really loved eat there. he was from coney iland. he had a stand there before he moved here.

I have been to a couple of places in Houston , and around texas, Pretty good reviews

Are youa talking about Paul's? I've seen the place but never been there. I think it's still there, no?

Tommy's on Lackland is still open as well as the one on Camp Bowie. Kincaids is still good too, they also have a stand at LaGrave field same burger too. It's hard to say which one is better between the 2 though. I may have to eat at one place one day and the other one the next to see which one I prefer.

Could be, though, I never new the name. We always just called it the dougnut place. good stuff!

hasbeen used to flip burgers at Griff's. Don't see many of those anymore.

Kincaids is the most over rated burger, meat has no flavor, I think pepole just like eating in the the old store.

Kincaids not as good as old days. We prefer Chapps. Several around town, but locally owned independent.

Never seen them, where is the closest to the west side?

The one we go to most of the time is on south Hulen, south of the mall, next door to Blockbuster. Go past WalMart, accross from Wendy's. Give it a try.

Will do for sure!

Yes, the old store was cool. now that they have branched out, it will suck. seen it before, you can't beat the original.

Went to Tommie's on Lackland rd today. Burgers are still GREAT! Bacon cheeseburger w/jalapeños. mmmm

Do any of you fellow old farts remember the Chuckwagon hamburger stand that used to be in Cowtown? How about the Red Canary that was on Berry street & the LoneStar Drivein that was at 35 & Berry street? That was a fine place to get a good burger & a beer with carhops that'd bring it out to you! Those were the good old days when there was always a badass 57 Chevy or two & a few deuce coupes under the awning!!

If you are on Eagle Mountain give augies a try a little expensive and a dive but big juicy hamburgers
Johnny

Here is one for any of you guys that use to be down around the Ft.Worth Stockyards during the day Leeda`s(sp) you turn at the first red light pass Billy Bob`s it was in the small little strip on the left. There was never burgers and fries but burgers and red beans or burgers and chili just a little old lady "Ms.Leeda" behind the counter cooking burgers. Cokes and Beer in the old style coke boxes and they were on the honer system. Great place

Leta's Grill

Never got a chance to eat there.

It's rumored that she threw Willie Nelson out of her place.

Great Story MB !!

Nut

Kincaid's still serves a great burger but a few other places around town can give them a good run for their money. Tommy's, Charlie's, and Nicky D's, to name a few. (Nicky D's is a family owned convenience store just outside Crowley on 1187. They have outstanding hand-pattied burgers and fresh cut fries. Super nice folks.)

Hank 1951-I remember the Chuckwagons hamburger stands - they were always my favorite place for a cheap burger back in the 60's and 70's. I also remember going to the old Lone Star Drive In on Camp Bowie when I was in high school. We used to drive there after school occasionally and drink a couple of beers to get a buzz. The car hops never asked us for ID's.

FishFear Me-Leta's was a great place to get a burger and beer. Went there many times when I was hanging out on the North Side back in the 80's. Leta was good as gold unless you were crossed her - rich or poor, it didn't matter to her, she would put your backside out the door in a hurry if you didn't follow her rules.

Edit: BTW, just heard the other day that Kincaid's original store may have to move due to a new landlord that wants to triple their rent. Hope that doesn't happen - the original store is a real Ft. Worth landmark.

How about Clown Burgers ...I'm not sure but I think they were in Haltom City ???

Yep.... On Belknap right before the split w/ Denton Hwy.

Last I heard they moved and the old building was torn down. Was a good burger though!

Speaking of Famous Hamburgers, check out this guys photos of the old place. This should bring back some memories.

One other hamburger I forgot to mention is Fred's Cafe on Currie St. Great patio and very good burgers. (although they are getting a little pricey)

Thanks Mick!!! Thats the place! Sure wish that it was still around!

OK... Another one was called Mary's (I think). Don't remember exactly where it was located, but it was south of 7th street about 2 blocks and block or two off of Henderson. Seems like there was a car dealership body shop next door.

The burgers were ok, not near the best, but the burger patties were over an inch thick!

I remember the Chuck Wagon that used to be in Haltom City on Broadway in front of the Buddies Supermarket.

Clown burger moved over to Haltom Road and Stanley Keller road. It's Clown Burger 2 now. They still have some pf the parts of the old store. Like the tables and a couple of the walls. The ones that all the kids used to put their names on. Same owners also!!

Are the burgers still as good as they used to be? I'll have to stop by there someday...

Honestly... don't think they are as good as they used to be. Also....they charge a little much for what you get. Griff's is much better on price. Clown does have a 6 pattie burger(which I will never try).

All in all...the place is still ok. Miss the old one though.

Back in the early 70's there was a burger joint called Burger Train on Vickery Blvd. The setup was like a Sonic, and your food came out on a miniature train that ran to each car parking spot.
Anybody remember that?

Hasbeen Kerlee used to work at Griff's in the 70's and still wears his Griff's uniform to this day to church

Famous Hamburgers was without question the best
great photo
the bald guy kept a dime in his ears, so he would never be broke.
that is why my Dad told me they were in there.

HI TWOTOES I BEEN THERE AFEW TIMES WENT BACK ONE DAY ON A DATE AND IT WAS GONE. TO BAD

BUT I WILL ALWAYS WILL LOVE FAMOUS BURGERS

Myrtles in Rendon on 1187 is worth a try!!!!
