Yowza just looking at that makes my chest hurt. What all is on that?
According to Yelp, the Filling Station closed late last year.
Wow that looked like a great place for breakfast too.
I wonder how His Highness missed that one?

The Filling Station is now a liquor store
I don't know if they still make them the same way, but the store at Wheelock made a damn good thick burger 15 years ago. I would assume they still do if the ownership hasn't changed.
Huntsville:
Hitchin' Post / old truck stop I-45 / smoke free for several months
huge half pounder burger old fashioned ...thick with meat and veggies...delicious....bun done on the grill ....with best homemade onion rings (or fries) $10.95 I think
and
Bandera Grill .... on jalapeno bun...grilled meat ...also has great onion rings...
------------------------------------------------------------------
Have to update this.
Went to Hitchin' Post today. Well, they now have a designated smoking area and the smoke smell flows into the main dining area. So, I would not call it smoke free anymore. I complained. The waitress said she would tell management. It is a truck stop so I don't expect that to change.
Updated menu: Still have the half pounder however it is on a slightly smaller bun with a little less veggies. However, it is still a big burger. They still have the same great large onion rings and the same amount. Another plus, the half pounder and onion rings are now $4 cheaper. It is a lot to eat.

Mr. Hamburger in Huntsville is pretty good, also.
Are they as good as the old Mr. Hamburger stand? I didn't think so.

Thanks sambo13!
New "Walk The Plank" burger at Shipwreck I hope will be up there one day!!
I like all the independent restaurants on the list. I think by far the best places.

You can put together a mean burger at Blackwater Draw. They have a lot of toppings you won't find at most other places.....and the mean and buns are good.

Have seen mention of joes place...get the sirlion sandwich...best thing on the menu....I know not a burger but had to say it.
I used to love Fatburger on University. Is there any place that actually uses local fresh beef for their burgers?
The Bryan one has Ruffinos boxes of ground beef.

Finally had the Stripes burger. It was ok but had that silly thick sweet bread.
Had one at Willie's Icehouse yesterday and it was quite good.
Had the the Texas Ave Old Timey at Cafe Eccell a couple weeks ago and it was really good.

Yankees! Pricey but their burger with a basket of the chip fries and an ice cold PBR pint. Nothing better in the area.

Sorry but that Yankee patty is just too stiff.
Koppe Bridge is still my favorite, be it a 1/3 lb. Burger or chicken fried steak sandwich. Recently had both Top of the Hill and Harvey Washbangers, and was underwhelmed with both. Top of the hill was better than HW I thought. Fries were good at Top of the Hill, but I enjoy Koppe Bridges more.
Top of the Hill is the best. Margie's is most overrated.

First part is true. Second part is WRONG. And that's the heart of the matter.
1a: Margie's
1b: Top of the Hill
2: Koppe Bridge

Carneys. BWD. Top of the Hill.
Every post Covid experience at the Hwy 30 Koppe B has been between bad and disappointing. It's not in the rotation if I'm paying. Cold buns and cold cheese with too much variation.

And by the way, it's a burger stand, if you want fries go to Dairy Queen

The problem with people that don't get it is they don't get that they don't get it.
The Station on 29th make a dang good burger.

If your willing to take a short drive; the wife and I went out to Whitehall ice house south east of Navasota; and it was the best in the area I have tried so far.
Bacon was thick cut, meat has solid beef flavoring. He added a Beer cheese that brought the burger up and entirely additional point on the scale.
A Tuesday night was pretty dead and I almost thought he would close; however he said Friday night his wife bakes all kinds of stuff and they have chicken fried steak on Saturday I haven't had a chance to go try... sounded like more business comes in Thursday through Saturday.
I may have to make it a goal for this weekend.

This is what happens when the Great Oracle of Yelp is no longer here to tell us what we should think about burgers.

Although I don't agree with some of the findings here, the premise is sound. Not all burgers are comparable given the genres and types. Kudos to Orlando for this methodology.
