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, this map serves as a guide to the city’s top spots, ranging from old-school favorites to hip new haunts that should definitely be on your radar.
Backstreet Cafe, the now-closed Hay Merchant, and Hobbit Cafe have been removed from the list, making way for Hopdoddy, Rodeo Goat Ice House, Champ-Burger, Tookie’s, Annie’s Hamburgers, Las Mamalonas Burgers, and Hippo Burgers.
