Boots in Rockwall and Airways in Arlington

now thats a place I'd love to hit....

Since this list was posted I have made a point of eating a couple of the suggestions including the Dairy Palace in Canton and Burgerland in Paris.

I threw the rest of the list away.

Try Simply Burgers in Euless. The bleu cheese burger is the best I have ever eaten.

The Bottom on Bluebonnet Circle (Ft. Worth) makes a very tasty 1/2 lb. burger. The fresh baked buns are great and they have a really nice patio, and 35 beers on tap.

Hut's Hamburgers
Dirty Martin's

Austin

CB's Burgers
Ruby's
Terry's

Greenville

Five Guys Burgers and Frys in San Antonio is the BEST!

Negative. They have seeds on the bun. Seeds on a bun is an automatic disqualifier for best of anything.

They opened a 5 Guys in Lufkin. Very mediocre, fast food burger.

Have you ever heard of The Texas Burger Guy ? I use to always read his burger reviews, but he hasn't updated in a year or so.

His "burger terminology" is well worth reading.

IMPORTANT: TexasBurgerGuy Terminology
TexasBurgerGuy will not be your typical stuffy- snobby- nose-raising restaurant review site. I pledge here and now to never use the following words in my reviews: eclectic, contemporary, quaint, tofu, vegan, soy, vegetarian, or mediterranean. These words have no business in a burger joint review. IF for some unearthly reason I ever use one of the words listed above in a review - you have my permission to label me a yankee and forever revoke my Texas citizenship.

There is some terminology you should become familiar with if you are to become a regular visitor and reader of this site. This posting is most important for you to read if you are to understand any of my reviews.

Oooze Factor - The lifeblood of a good burger. This is the unidentified liquid that ooozes from the burger as you bite into it. Good burgers have it. Bad burgers don't. When a good stream of the oooze makes an appearance - you usually begin wishing you had ordered a salad instead cause it means the ol' pumper is getting a little more clogged up after you consume this meal. Oooze Factor will be measured using a 10 point scale.
1 - Death Valley
5 - A Summer Stream
10 - Niagara Falls

Herd Killer - This measures the sheer size and weight of a burger. A true herd killer burger makes you start to really worry that man may be violating his responsibilities at the top of the food chain. A good herd killer burger is a chore to eat and one that you brag about eating to your friends. You usually miss a meal or 3 after eating a herd killer. There are some burger joints out there that will take your picture and post your name on their Wall of Fame if you completely consume their herd killers without spewing. Herd Killer will be measured using a 10 point scale.
1 - Them Calves Run Real Slow
5 - Bessie and Bertha Between Two Buns
10 - Bovine Armageddon

Handling - This measures the number of hands required to hold and position the burger for consumption. Normally - it only takes 2 hands. Normally - you will only have 2 hands. But - in the rare event that a burger requires three hands or more to hold while you eat - well I just want to be able to discuss that in the review. Some burgers require both hands and even then are tough to manage. There are some burgers that require just one hand or could even be held between 2 fingers. Burgers are created in all shapes and sizes. Handling will be measured using a 10 point scale.
1 - Look How Cute
5 - Keep Both Hands on the Wheel
10 - Bring in a Crane

Bling Bling - How much am I going to have to fork over for this delicious burger? I suspect most of the time this will be about the same for most of the burgers I review. But - some of the real herd killers do cost a few more bucks as they are the main attraction at the restaurant. One has to understand that a true herd killer is using a great deal of meat and therefore the price of the burger will go up. Bling Bling will be measured using a 10 point scale.
1 - Couch Change
5 - Say Goodbye to Honest Abe
10 - Seek Financing

So there you have it. Each of the reviews will discuss the restaurant itself as well but the main focus will be on the burger.

Now that we have this out of the way... let the games begin!!!

Has anyone tried the Timber Root Burger Co. on Commerce St in Dallas? Saw it on DDD and have been wanting to go check it out.

Twisted Root, maybe? Pretty good, pretty expensive.
