The concept of a cheeseburger seems quite simple — meat, cheese, on a bun — but in Space City, it’s a holy union that takes on many, equally divine forms. There are Mexican-style burgers topped with plenty of protein, prized old-school institutions that serve up classic smash burgers, and newly opened favorites with creative takes that remind Houston that what is deemed a fast-food staple is truly a work of edible art.
Though there are hundreds of quality burger joints to choose from, a key to finding some of the best burgers is knowing that good burgers can come from unlikely places and menus that go far beyond patties. Use this map as a guide to the city’s top spots for burgers, ranging from old-school favorites to hip new haunts and restaurants that should definitely be on your radar.
This list has been updated to include burgers from Trill Burgers, Il Bracco, FM Kitchen, the Rado Market & Cafe, Stuffed Belly, and Underbelly Burger.
