Yelp/Burger Fresh
Maybe not the most clean-cut picture, but that doesn't matter when we're talkin' burgers. Burger Fresh has a burger dedicated to Texas Monthly for ranking them in the top 50 best burgers in the state. It's a 1/2 lb Angus Beef patty served on their famous Jalapeno Sourdough bun with grilled onions, bell peppers, pepper jack cheese, bacon, and avocado. You can build your own burger piled high with whatever toppings fit your fancy and add a side of fries (regular or sweet potato), tots or onion rings. To learn more about one of the best hamburgers in Texas, visit Burger Fresh's website.
2. Jakes Burgers and Beer (Dallas)

I have no words for this beautiful creation...except that you can't forget to try their cheddar fries on the side (and add sour cream, chives and bacon!). Because cheese. The end. Also, there are 22 burgers to choose from, so whether you're in the mood for something fancy like hot dogs, chili and hickory sauce on your burger or a good ol' original, Jake's has you covered. Check out the website for Jakes Burgers to learn more.

5. Roadhouse (Bastrop)

Everything here is so good, it was tough to decide what to feature. I think this close-up of their Jalepeno Cream Cheese burger does the trick, don't you? The Green Chili Cheeseburger comes in a close second. Add on a side of queso fries, and you'll be in comfort food heaven. Visit Roadhouse Bastrop's website to learn more.
6. The Shack Burger Resort (Cypress)

Yelp/TheShack
A burger RESORT? This place is ridiculous, guys. Want a no frills, meat and cheese hamburger? They've got it. Want cheetos, a fried egg, caramelized bananas, or even BACON MAC & CHEESE on your burger? Oh, they've got it. Pictured above is the aptly named "5 Napkins." That yolk's gotta drip somewhere.

7. Twisted Root Burger Co. (Dallas)
Yelp/TwistedRoot
Yelp/TwistedRoot
Twisted Root is an alternative-type burger joint with some interesting flavor combos. You can get a standard burger, but that definitely isn't what they're known for. Pictured here is The Ranch Hand: Peppercorn ranch dressing, bacon, lettuce & tomato on a sesame seed bun. Another cool thing that sets them apart is all the different meats they offer! From buffalo to camel to kangaroo, they practically have the entire animal kingdom ready to be dished up. Check out Twisted Root Burger Co.'s website to learn more.
8. Lankford's Grocery & Market (Houston)
Yelp/LankfordGrocery
Yelp/Lankford Grocery

Ah, Tookie's. Known and loved by all its patrons. Luckily they were able to rebuild after severe damage by Hurricane Ike, and they're back and yummier than ever! Burgers just aren't complete without a generous helping of cheese, in my opinion. Visit the website for Tookie's Burgers to learn more.

Does this place look like it's capable of masterpieces like these? I didn't think so either. But the Frito Chili and Mushroom Swiss Burgers are begging to differ. They also have a "Psycho Burger" that has jalepenos, habeneros, ghost chilis, and ghost chili sauce. To learn more, visit the Facebook page for Willie's Place.
