I've had so many good burgers in Texas that it would be a toss up between 50 different places. That would be a hard task to nail one down as being the best. Some of the best I can remember were from local haunts around lakes and even in gas stations with a grill. Probably because you just never expect them to be so good from those places, but they usually have 1 thing in common - fresh meat and veggies. The ones like mom and dad used to make! One that comes to mind is The Barn Stop in Fairfield. EXCELLENT

If Kincaids is the best I hate to see the worst. We ate there a few weeks back and it was not remotely impressive. We will never grace their doors again. Without question Fuddruckers was better than Kincaids to us. Which one did you go to? Only the original is any good. Try the Tommys on lackland rd. Way better than kincaids.

I don't put much stock in those "Top 10" or whatever lists that come out in Texas Monthly or Texas Highways or the local paper.
One of the best burgers I had was at Blue Duck's Ice House in Llano. It wasn't real cheap and it came with stale chip fragments but dang it was good. The burgers were cooked on a smoker outside and all the veggies were homegrown locally. Should have seen those beefsteak tomatoes.
Cold longneck and purty young waitress made for a nice ambience.

I have not been to the original Kincaid's...went to the location in Arlington at the Highlands.....will not do that again.Best burger is an opinion,just as best truck or best boat or best whatever....I've had lots of great burgers but cant say any of those were the best.There is a good place on hwy 1187 @ J Rendon Rd that served a very good burger last time I ate there. I think you are talking about RENDON BURGER !! Its closed now but they had the best burger I have ever eaten !! They had great Mexican Tea as well !!

Only because there is a whole other world outside of the metromess. I grew up in Arlington, left when I was 18 (Uncle Sam imperative) and haven't been back except to visit. Good food and far less "foreign" influence from up north when you get away from the I35/45 corridors. Not meaning to insult anyone and I apologize if I do but, the metromess isn't traditional Texas.

Traditional Texas has gone, by the way side. More yanks are moving in because it is better done here. Let's not let them influence our politics. It's something we'll have to get use to. By the way, how do I get away from the metro mess. Any good jobs in your neck of the woods?
Cast it out and see what happens.

The economics has trickled down to about every sector. The bright side for our area is that Mortimer (Portugese windmill generator company) is in the process of moving out here. Anything related to energy will be the growth industry anywhere even if it comes out of the ground.
