Burger Restaurants in Texas
When Guy Fieri rolled his red Camaro into the Lone Star State, he uncovered a treasure trove of burger joints that embody Texas-sized flavor and attitude. From 2008 to 2018, Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives featured 10 outstanding burger destinations across Texas, and every single one remains open today—a testament to their staying power and devoted followings.
These aren’t your average fast-food patties. With an impressive average rating of 4.5 stars, Texas burger spots have earned their reputation for bold, unapologetic creations. Leading the pack are Dallas powerhouses Maple & Motor and Twisted Root Burger Co., both boasting 4.6-star ratings and cult-like customer loyalty. Down in Kemah, T-Bone Tom’s Steakhouse rounds out the top tier with its 4.5-star rating and hearty portions.
The show’s Texas burger trail spans from San Antonio to Austin to Dallas, with stops in Arlington and the Gulf Coast town of Kemah. Each location brings its own personality to the grill, proving that when it comes to burgers, Texas doesn’t just compete—it dominates.
