One last throwback post to when I was the Houston Barbecue Examiner. Who wants a burger?
Sure
there is a fast food restaurant on every corner, and yes they happen to serve
burgers, but why get something to eat there when this great city has so much to
offer? Taking a minute to veer off the beaten path, will to help to locate some
of the city’s hidden treasures.

| Goode Company Taqueria and Hamburgers |
Goode
Company has been around for over thirty years, always serving up great food,
whether it be barbecue, seafood, or fajitas. At Goode Company Hamburgers and
Taqueria, they have some of the best hamburgers I have ever found. The menu is
extensive and sure to please the entire family, especially the burgers. They
are all beef patties, either 1/3 or 2/3 pounds in size. They even offer a
chicken burger. And the topping combinations are endless. Try a burger with
mozzarella, Canadian bacon, and guacamole or maybe one with jalapeños,
mushrooms, and bacon. As always, with any Goode Company restaurant, be sure to
try the latest seasonal offering from the St. Arnold Brewing Company.

| Christian's Tailgate |
Christian’s
Tailgate is one of those places that is just simply inviting. It is not rustic,
but simple. The restaurant relies on the food, not as much as on the décor,
which is something I find more inviting. The restaurant invites people to come
in as they are. The burgers are huge, and well priced. A word of caution
though, the double is something to consider splitting with a friend. These
burgers are well cooked, well seasoned, and drip grease back into the basket of
fries, adding to the experience, and to the food.
**Edit: The location shown, which was the original incarnation of Christian's Tailgate, has sadly closed.

| Barnaby's Cafe |
Barnaby’s
Café is one of those places the customers feel invited to bring a book and hang
out on the patio. The menu is extremely extensive, ranging from salads, to
sandwiches, to steak, ribs, chicken, and seafood, to burgers. The burgers are
absolutely amazing, ranging from simple plain burgers, to Boca burgers. The
highlight of the burger menu is the Green Chile Cheese Burger, which boasts a
whole chile and pepper jack cheese. These flavors come together with the beef
on a honey sweet wheat bun, and knock it out of the park. Along with the
homemade lemonade and the daily pie and cake offerings, Barnaby’s Café is a
must try.
Happy
Eating.
