which location? I've been to the Kirby and Westheimer ones and both were good enough for return trips


Buffalo Speedway. Where is the one on Kirby?

I don't like the clientele it attracts. IMO if there is ever a shooting on Mag SB would the 2nd or 3rd most likely place. I hate that the street is littered with SB trash too.

I feel their burger is less greasy as Five Guys and I like their fries better. I've found a local place that I choose to go to for a burger over all of these places and it's roughly the same price.

I didn't start the thread, I'm just giving my opinion.

In & Out


Another overrated place IMHO. It's good for a fast food joint, but I was expecting the Holy Grail of Hamburgers because of all the hype.

Their employee compensation is very fair and their customer service is great. I'm glad they're successful.

That was just not a good burger. Mediocre would be generous.


Mule, if you're in Houston there's lots of good choices for a tasty burger. Last week I tried Community Bar as Thursday is their burger night. It's was pretty damn good. Hay Merchant has a solid burger but not much variety as in you're not getting a crazy topping burger. Christian's Tailgate is good if you go to the location in the Heights on White Oak. The one place I know of outside the loop is PO's up in Cypress off of Telge Rd.

It's a glorified wendy's, and even wendy's is better IMO

The large cajun burger with raw jalpeno and pepper jack with a side of sweet tater fries is pretty good imo.

WAY THE HELL BETTER THAN FIVE GUYS

I've been to the midtown location several times and just never cared for the atmosphere. I like the ice house set up they have on White Oak. Plus you can walk to Public House, Lil Woodrows, BB's and a few other places.

I haven't tried the burger at Queen Vic yet but I hear rave reviews. Though so far I put Community Bar on top. I'll be destorying a Hay Merchant burger tonight. Hopefully they'll have some St Arnolds BB3 in stock.

I have never been to Smashburger but my one trip to Five Guys was lame. I felt like I paid triple the price for a Wendy's burger and a enough soggy fries to feed a village. For a couple of bucks more and not hating myself later: Company Burger, Luke, Cowbell, etc. Hell, I thought NO Seafood & Hamburger was decent and priced identical to 5 Guys (NOLA Area)


This is the smartest thing I've heard anybody say about anything.

All this burger talk makes me want a burger for lunch. Might have to get a smashed burger from Joe Sepies for lunch.
