The Tastiest Burgers in Dallas

Jimmy's Big Burgers

★★★★☆ 4.3 (165) • $

"Quick and helpful service, easy to find, clean interior. Fantastic burger cooked fresh, great seasoned fries."

Kenny's Burger Joint - Plano

★★★★☆ 4.4 • $$

"The Kenny's Franchise are some of my favorite' spots in Dallas from the wood fire grill, Italian to the burger joint. To that end, it is why this review is kind of bittersweet. We stood waiting to be seated for about 15 minutes after two people stated they would seat us and never came back. Finally, a young lady with a chefs coat came out and sat us. That was a little frustrating and kind of set the tone for our lunch. We had cocktails and ordered burgers and our waitress was fine and the food dis not disappoint. Burgers were delicious as always!"

Cavalli

★★★★☆ 4 (13)

"This restaurant is so cute inside, very aesthetic and beautifully designed. Food was delicious, we enjoyed the samosas, hummus, chicken shawarma, chicken kabob, and kufta kabobs as well as the mango and strawberry mojito mocktails. The service was also great! Our waitress checked on us often.I also wanted to mention that the five stars is in part due to the hostess in the front. She was so kind and really helped with our son who was getting a bit fussy. She made him a balloon hand out of a glove and a fun toy out of a water bottle. We very much appreciate her and would come back 100% because of her!! Thank you if you read this!!!"

Underdogs Burgers & Brews

★★★★☆ 3.5 (93) • $$

"Love Love Love the Happy Hour here especially when the weather is perfect. Whether you want to chill with friends and enjoy the scenery, hang with friends at the bar and watch football, or enjoy a live band... this place has it all. Definitely try the mushroom burger (I had them hold the bacon) and the Pimento cheese balls. Sooo delish!"

Mario Bros Tacos

★★★★★ 4.6 (427) • $

"One of the best tacos I've had in DFW that is also reasonably priced ($2.29 a taco)Our favorite was the trompo and barbacoa. Both were super juicy and moist. They all tasted really fresh and both salsas were Service was great and the store was pretty big and clean. We got ours to-go though but it still tasted amazing."

Smoke & Fire

★★★★☆ 4.3 (28)

"Did you ever go to the old Denton Independent Hamburger Company? If so, this is lime old times. Big hand-cut fries. Burgers cooked over fire in front of you. I got the cheeseburger and a side of cheese fries. Both have a cup of grated cheddar melted over each. It's really good. I got my burger all the way with mayo and mustard. To my pleasure, the mayonnaise was not sweet salad dressing like Miracle Whip, but instead was savory. The portions were generous.There are a few covered outdoor tables that overlook the new 50 West music venue open to the east side. There are several booths inside and maybe some tables. It's not enormous. I'm pretty stoked to have this in Krum."

The Burger House

★★★★★ 4.7 (64) • $$

"Yall. New favorite burger place for us right now. The Burger House takes an American classic and infuses it with Mexican flavor. These burger patties were well salted and seasoned - NO bland burgers here! They are generous with cheese, toppings and overall portion size. What more can I say?! Seeing the size, I had originally thought I was just going to eat half...5 minutes in I'm already close to done. Was just the perfect salty, juicy flavor. I washed my jalapeño cheeseburger down with an agua de Jamaica and the pairing was perfect - the sweet tartness of the agua with the salty, spiciness of the burger.Now the best part - THE CARNE ASADA FRIES. YALL. These are NOT an after thought...I regretted not just ordering that as my main meal! Not that my burger wasn't perfection! The carne asada was perfectly cooked - no chewy dry meat, seasoned and again the freshness of the veggies with the hot savory meat and fries with the cooling effect of the sour cream. Ugh it was just sooo good.Guys $35 and have you a dinner for 2 better than any fine dining LOL"

Mom's Cafe

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (193) • $

"After an early casting of my ballot down the street,I sought out this spot for some heavy fuel to propel me through the day.This cafe has been here forever and about 15 years since I've eaten here . It used to be crowded throughout their breakfast and lunch operating hours. However,8:30 and I'm the only one here? I immediately feel on guard and ready to make a decision to leave before I have an average breakfast experience.The friendly waitress finally appears handing out menus and taking drink orders.I ask her if there's been a change of ownership and she responds "yes a new Partnership". At least she was honest.I've seen it a lot lately. These older traditional family run cafes changing hands due to retirement,death or fatigue. It's predictable as the once well oiled machine begins slipping.I decided to throw caution to the wind and give it a chance. I'm glad I did. They serve up a multitude of daily breakfast plates for $12+ dollars. Ours were decent but not memorable.I'm afraid these endangered species cafes are no longer in demand and slowly withering on the vine. However,if your in the area and want to fuel up for the day,I say...Go!"

Woodbridge Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.1 (216) • $$

"Always friendly and good home cooked food. Lots of seating never had to wait. I also ordered to go frequently and the food is always plentiful and on par with what you would get in the restaurant."

Porky's Burgers & Wings

★★★★★ 4.7 (164) • $

"The food was delicious. Had the Porky's burger and fries. The meat was fresh. The food tasty and full of flavor. I would definitely come back. Small spot. No wait. Visited Saturday afternoon. Diverse crowd which is always a great sign of how good the food is."

Burger Land

★★★★☆ 3.9 (42) • $

"Faces kingsley rd at the end next to subway. Ok so we tried this place cause our go to joint was closed. Their burgers are good! The guac burger was creamy and the bun was moist and fresh. Not too salty meat either and the guac was mostly avocado. Don't expect no junior size their burgers are huge. I had to cut it in half to eat it. I want to support them more often because the owners are an old korean couple working hard. I wish they had happy hour prices too. It would bring in a lot more business."

Shake Shack Park and Preston

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (33)

"Decided to try Shake Shack for some burgers to finally settle the Shake Shack vs In-N-Out debate. I got the Link Shack double burger with cheese fries and the Tiramisu shake. The Link Shack burger was good. Flavors were balanced, and the sausage worked very well with the burger. Cheese fries were a pleasant surprise. I am normally not a huge fan of crinkle-cut fries, but they were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The Tiramisu shake for me was a miss. It seemed like an extremely sweet vanilla shake with a hint of coffee and a stale ladyfinger thrown on top. This location was super clean and had a very well-done interior. The staff was extremely kind in bringing out our orders and even taking our empty trays. Both Shake Shack and In-N-Out are amazing places, but in the great debate, I gotta say I land on the side of In-N-Out."

Hunky's

★★★★☆ 4.2 (566) • $$

"I have been going to Hunky's since the 80's. Food and service is consistently Awsome!"

John's Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.2 (288) • $$

"Old school diner type cafe...no frills, but the counter employee was friendly and I'm excited to see if the food lives up to the reviews. FYI - You order at the counter before finding your seat. Food was very good. Bacon was crispy and the potatoes were well seasoned. No complaints at all and would repeat."

Edmond's Burgers & More

★★★★★ 4.8 (338) • $$

"Strong burger! The owners are here working everyday to make sure they deliver to the loyal patrons.One of the best straight up classic burger values going in DFW right now .They get it right."

Rusty Beagle Sports Grill

★★★★☆ 3.6 (228) • $$

"We came here because it was recommended as a good spot for burgers and the pics of the burgers looked good on their website. Unfortunately it didn't live up to our expectations. The food came out hot and was good but just typical bar food. The music was slow country that would put you to sleep and unfortunately we had annoying people sitting next to us being obnoxiously loud drunks. It was grown adults acting like frat kids. Our server was nice and when we first came inside, we were greeted and also said good bye to as we left. I had also asked our server to turn the fan off and he did it immediately. I appreciated that. I wanted to give this place 3 1/2 stars but since there's no half stars, I did 3. It wasn't quite 4 stars because I probably won't be back and felt it was just average."

The Grill

★★★★☆ 4.3 (34) • $

"I love the grill. It's a dive, but in a great way. The ladies who work here are super nice. The food is always super flavorful and properly made. The pork and barbacoa is braised in the juices until tender and juicy. The chili pork is spicy as hell. It's also very tender and succulent. The Barbacoa was not spicy at all but very juicy and tender also with great flavors. I have a hard time eating 3 of the tacos in one sitting. Normally I'll eat 5 spicy pork tacos at fuzzy's cause they are smaller. Here the meat pours out the sides of the tacos. If you are a boring gringo, they have decent burgers and gyros. At least that's what my friends tell me. I can never order anything but the beautifuly braised meats."

Burger Island

★★★★☆ 3.9 (144) • $

"Consistent good Burgers , and an extensive menu of other sandwiches and sides. My go to Burger house in Rowlett. REALLY GOOD."

Rooster's Roadhouse

★★★★☆ 4.1 (287) • $$

"We always visit, and I mean ALWAYS, Sweetipie's but decided to give Rooster's one good try. We were not disappointed! We were seated immediately and our orders were taken to the kitchen promptly. The food took less than half an hour to receive despite the busyness of Friday lunch rush. We started off with a half-order of bacon cheese fries which were soooo good! They are served with ranch. I ordered a patty melt since it was starred on the menu as a favorite. It was amazing, the sweet caramelization of cooked onion topped a cheeseburger and had a delicious sauce. I could only finish half the sandwich, it's huge. My kiddo had the Texas sliders (kid's meal comes with 2 sliders and the adult slider meal comes with 3). Hubby ordered a three meat plate, which I thought was just okay. The sausage piece I sampled from his plate was kind of burned and tasted like it had been reheated. I'm picky about smoked meat though, so I don't order unless I see it being smoked in front of me (ie Hard Eight) out of fear of it being old and dry. I do have a few cons to point out, but I didn't deduct stars since overall it was an enjoyable visit. Our server didn't keep our drinks full, she did walk over after we had our food to ask if we needed anything though. Also, she didn't offer to-go boxes even when she noticed how much food we had leftover. There is a bar so if you are looking for a Date Night idea, perhaps Rooster's would be a spot to try in the evening hours."

Kpop Burger

★★★★☆ 3.9 (297) • $$

"Oh my goodness. We have been wanting to go here for a while but they were closed for repairs or something. When we passed by one day we saw that they were open and had to try it out.I love kimchi. Kimchi is love, kimchi is life. So when I saw the Kimchi burger I was immediately drawn to it. I'm not a burger fan, so at first I was skeptical to try a burger with kimchi and take the risk of the kimchi not being great. With my husband cheering me on to try it, I ordered it.We sat down, and our orders were brought to us. My goodness guys. These burgers were the size of my head. The pictures I took do not do them justice. We are staring at these two behemoths and don't even know how to start. One thing I do want to suggest is maybe giving us like a knife or asking if we wanted it cut in half. Maybe there were knives somewhere but I just didn't see, but I will definitely be asking for it to be cut next time!This burger was perfection. The kimchi was amazing, the burger was tender and juicy. The only bad thing is, I couldn't even finish 1/4 of it. Well is that a bad thing? I asked for to go boxes and ate the rest throughout the day. Literally a meal that fed me all day. The staff=amazing. The burgers and fries=fantastic. The atmosphere=chill and I was boping with the music.I will return to try more items from the menu, why would I not?!"

Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar

★★★★☆ 4.1 (695) • $$

"This is a review for the brand new Non-Alcoholic beverage menu.We came in tonight for the new menu and got to try them on the house. What fun!! Thanks, first off to the best server ever! And to management for the kickoff event. The mocktail menu exceeded our expectations. It was beyond combined ingredients. Instead, it was fun, energized creative concepts. I started with strawberry citrus and loved it. It had tartness and was sooo good. My companion had Dr. Pepper with vanilla bean cream. I assumed it was cream soda but no it was cream. Whole new level of drink. It was our favorite of the night. I let our server pick our third drink which was creamcicle. I also wanted to try huckleberry but was so full by then haha! I can't wait to go back and try some more."

Hopdoddy Burger Bar

★★★★☆ 3.9 • $$

"It was such a great experience! I'm so happy to come back to my favorite location and the management and staff were amazing! They checked in and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was delicious! My only feedback is my fries were not as crispy. Rosemary is absolutely amazing! She has turned this location around. The staff the atmosphere was so positive! You can tell the food was made with care! Thank you so much!I highly recommended the Magic Shroom burger and the Parmesan Truffle Fries!"

Burger Island

★★★★☆ 3.9 (69) • $

"The service is great and so nice! They have a huge variety of gourmet burgers and also their fried catfish baskets are delicious! Music ambiance is nice as well"

Shady's Burgers & Brewhaha

★★★★☆ 3.7 (239) • $$

"I am so sad I don't live closer to this place. My family & I LOVED it! The service was great! One of the staff even accidentally some of our food & they immediately had us new hot food & we're cleaning up. (They should probably change the tray/fry presentation because it seems unstable). With all that would still say service was great! It was hard to decide on food. It all looked good. I think all 3 of us had the server decide between 2-3 options we couldn't choose between. One area the food could improve is the shake. With Andy's next door they need to find a way to step up the ice cream game. It's quite a drive for us but we'll be back! Highly recommend!"

Wings Over Frisco

★★★★☆ 3.6 (82) • $$

"We really enjoyed our dinner at WOF. Our sever, Brooke, answered all our first-timer questions and made good recommendations about the several sauces and seasonings they offer. She also kept my drink filled, which is something that matters to me.Their onion rings were really good. We like the lightly breaded ones and these were some of the best we've had in the area. We had the sweet BBQ wings, and on Brooke's suggestion, I tried the Texas Heat with lemon pepper rub which I liked a lot. It wasn't crowded at all on a Sunday evening. We had good food and good service, so we'll make this part of our regular restaurant rotation."

Good Luck Chicken Seafood & Hamburger

★★★★☆ 3.9 (10) • $

"If you love soul food and down home cooking then check out Good Luck Chicken. I had to snap this pic of fried chicken going out! So much food!! Chuck and his team are so extremely nice. I left with a fried catfish basket- came with fries, small salad, hot pepper and tartar sauce plus ketchup salt pepper. Very generous portions. You can pick you drink and he had tons to choose from. Mostly cans and bottles. He also has shakes!! Will he back. Love that he has Monster! No real spots to eat at unless you want to stand or sit outside on curb. He uses different delivery ordering devices."

Five Guys

★★★★☆ 4.2 (6)

"Love Five Guys and the new location on Davis Blvd. However two comments1. The music they play is awful and much too loud I was going to eat my burger inside but decide to take with me 2. Seems to be plenty of employees but the tables were all full of crumbs dis not appear sanitized after guest."

Yia Yia’s House of Gyros Mesquite

★★★★★ 4.7 (716) • $$

"Delicious, authentic food that is perfectly season, portioned, and cooked! Our go to Mediterranean spot"

BackYard Murphy

★★★★☆ 4 (162) • $$

"Ordered To Go and was able to sit outside while waiting and get some fresh air. Kind staff that greeted me as soon as I entered and answered any questions I had. Ordered 5 Buffalo Wings, Fries, and Poppers. Everything was hot and fresh and it was a short wait. I will definitely be back to order lunch togo. FYI - The poppers were hot/spicy. They were delicious but they had a kick so be prepared."

Rodeo Goat

★★★★☆ 3.5 (104) • $$

"Somehow I never noticed this awesome eatery not far from Buc-cees on I-35, and I've clearly been missing out. The menu is a smorgasbord of burgerliciousness, with more than a dozen varieties to choose from. I went old school with the simple D.C.C. Burger (chopped iceberg lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, cheddar, mayo and mustard) and a side of hand punched fries. The service was swift, burger was cooked just right, and fries were on point. I'll definitely be back with a friend to try something more adventuresome, like the popular Bodacious Burger (American cheese, bacon, crispy onions, grilled jalapeños, pickles, smoked jalapeño mayo, and BBQ sauce) and some Goat Balls for dessert (fried dough filled with Bavarian cream). Skip the Buc-cees brisket sandwich next time and pop by Rodeo Goat instead."

Hopdoddy Burger Bar

"Very good fantastic burger and French fries super good, clean place . Steve at the bar are super friendly and professional."

Southfork Cafe

★★★★★ 4.6 (42)

"What a first impression! We tried Southfork for Sunday brunch, and it was a great experience all the way around. Can't say enough about the friendliness of the waiters and staff...so refreshing to see all the smiles and people who seem genuinely happy at work. The atmosphere is clean, bright, cheerful & welcoming too. As far as the food, we tried the Down South which had eggs, hash browns, bacon, sausage, and biscuits and gravy, and plain crepes. Everything was cooked very well and had great flavor. I'm especially picky about biscuits & gravy and usually disappointed...but not this time! Yum! Coffee was top notch and they stayed on top of refills. We'll be back!"

Tom's Burgers & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.8 (398) • $$

"Searched online for a burger place and this came up in our search. We like what the webpage had to say. We were not disappointed. For sure that old time diner feel. Our server Carolanne was amazing. Burgers and fresh cut fries for both of us. One added a fried egg Burgers was cooked as ordered. $25 for 2 people for lunch........can't think of another place for great food at that price."

Barney's Brunch House

★★★★☆ 4.4 • $$

"We came to Barney's for the first time for my wife's Birthday. The table was ready, the service was very friendly, the drinks were great, and the food was excellent. The chicken Benny was outstanding. We will be back!"
