Hurds in Jacksboro Freds in Fort Worth Get the Diablo Burger Can't believe I got way down on page 2 before someone mentioned Fred's. Funky little place near the museum district in Ft Worth. The Diablo burger is a must, and the hand cut fries are great! Running a close second is Dutch's (also in FW, across from TCU on University)
![[Linked Image]](https://sapgr.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/jc-patriot_guard_riders_logo-130x90.jpg) Family is everything! Life is precious. We don’t have forever. We have now. This moment. We can choose to love our lives now.

Bacon Cheese Burger at West Chevron in Winnsboro, best around. Big Al's in Arlington was the best, but when they moved it lost the Mystic.

+1 on boots! LOVE some boots burgers.. pretty cheap too. I used to save the lil brown paper bag just so I could smell those burgers after they had long since been eatin. OKAY, you and sanch are killing me. Where in Rockwall is Boots? I don't remember driving by it and my son is playing baseball over there this year. Inquiring minds want to know.

Weebs, you're in luck. Now, first off you can't eat at Boots. In fact, it doesn't even look like a restaurant but don't be put off by it. It's been there for 50 years and if it's looked good enough this long to get a cheeseburger from then it ought to look good enough for you. From Caddo, come in on 66. Just as you're actually coming to downtown on you're right you will see a street called Kernodle. Turn right. Go three blocks and turn right on Cornelia. Go one block and it'll be on your left at the corner of Austin and Cornelia. It's a very small building next to a house in that neighborhood. You'll some benches and chairs and a green 7-Up machine. Don't drag around and think you'll get one at 2pm either. They'll be sold out. They open and 11 and run until they sell out -usually around 130 or 200. They're closed Mondays and Sundays. Call ahead. 972.722.5802. To eat them, most people will go back exactly the way I told you to get there until you come back to 66. Go across 66 a block until it dead ends into the park. You can't eat at Boot's Burgers because a pack of pricks got together back in the early 80's or late 70's and raised hell at the city because the traffic was out of hand in their neighborhoods. That particular pack was named Dortick.

Hey trapper I've enjoyed a burger or two from from Mac's in Brady. I'd like to know where some of these places are in San Angelo, please. I will be there in a couple of days.
Thanks

That particular pack was named Dortick. That's awesome. I would never have found it. "kernodle to Cornelia?" So you are saying they are just open for lunch? No din, din? I was hoping to grab one on the way to my son's game tomorrow evening. Maybe Saturday?

Good ol' days syndrom..
There used to be a place in Greenville, east of town in the old Ardis Heights community, called Ardis Heights Grocery. Ran by a butcher and his wife.
They would make what they called a Texas Burger..ONE POUND of fresh ground chuck on a huge bun made however you wanted it. If you ordered with bacon, she would put 5 or 6 slices on there. You could get that burger and fresh cut fries for around 7 bucks.
Sadly, the man died and his wife ran the store for a while longer before she finally gave up and went to work for the county court house.
There was another one on West Lee in Greenville called Myers market. Another butcher and his wife. His burgers weren't as big but just as good. Also, made a mean chili dog with the best red hot dogs you ever tasted. He would split them down the middle and lay them on the grill. Dress them up with home made chili. Great breakfast sandwiches too. They had some great steaks, ground beef and bacon too to buy and take home.
I miss the old butcher shops that used to be everywhere and the family owned independent grocerys.
He is the truth, the light and the way.

No dinner. Yeah, if you turn right onto Kernodle then go down to Cornelia and turn right. go about a block and half or so and you'll see it on your left side. Or the North side of Cornelia.
If you go on Saturday, make for sure you're there bu 12:30.

Skinny's in Weatherford makes a pretty awesome burger. Had one on the way back from the Brazos last week.
