Twisted Root or other good burgers?

Central Market usually has a burger special weekly and they are pretty decent.

My wife has brought some home on occasion, the bacon & Jalapeno are tasty.

you guys probably wont believe this but those house brand burgers HEB sells are a lot better than pretty much all fast food burgers. Got jalepeno stuffed, cheese stuffed and regular.

And you're right parking does suck especially on the weekends

I usually park in the Movie Tavern garage. The sign tells you who validates.

hahahahahahahaha!


Social House should open any day if it isn't already. They should have the largest draft beer selection in town at 100 flavors. Terra is pretty decent, for a buffet. Not the best Mediterranean you'll ever have, but certainly worth the $12-14 they charge for all you can eat. I haven't eaten at that location though, only the one in Irving. AF+B is caddy corner to Social House. Crockett and Currie I think? AF+B is a Consilient concept, so the food is pretty tasty.


I really love what that area is becoming, but parking fucking sucks.

We love the 7th or Magnolia areas of Fort Worth. We tried the Social House the other night and I wasn't impressed with food or beer selection. The beer offerings were decent but not spectacular. I will cut them some slack since it was only a few days after they opened (not all beers on tap, no pizza oven installed). We will likely try AF&B next.

"I know you asked a question about good burgers in Allen/N Plano, and I'm gonna let you finish... but here's my take on burgers that no one asked about, that has nothing to do with your original question..."

I'm supposed to apologize because you live in the 'burbs and have to eat shit food at chain restaurants? No thanks, I'll pass.

Now I want to go there tonight, thanks H!

The cheese stuffed bacon wrapped giant jalapenos, oh man!

[AdamLX]

Kenny's has a really extensive "secret menu" as well. An old manager from the Legacy location went over probably 10-20 more options while we were out at Ace's if you are looking for more ideas there. I can't recall them, but remember most of them sounded really good and not just created to be weird.

I went back to Kenny's in Frisco on Thursday, I can't get enough of that place!

It's awesome. We moved close to downtown a few months ago. We're foodies (shut up Brent) so we're digging the proximity to cool places to try.

Very much so. Are you offended I'm offended?

no. just wondering why you were butthurt.

[Brandon-k]

Ball's Hamburgers at Midway and Northwest Hwy is terrific. Also Stackhouse at Gaston and Malcolm X is fucking tits.

I'll keep that in mind. We rarely get out, but the last couple of times we have, it's been to the West 7th area and we always comment about it and the transformation of some areas close by and how nice it is to visit.

There are so many appealing choices now and the fact that so many of them take such pride in their food and beer offerings is really cool. There have always been fancy restaurants and places with good food, but there seems to be a real food/beer movement in DFW lately that I can't quite put an exact title or name to. Places like Rodeo Goat, LUCK, Goodfriend, so many others that I can't keep up with them. Maybe it's been around longer than I think and I'm just late to the game.

Did you have a cold or something? I suppose they could have forgotten to season the beef or something but completely flavorless is hard to accomplish with grilled beef and chili.

I thought the exact same thing! Stacy got the Cowboy Cobb steak salad, and sure enough, it had a real sirloin steak grilled and sliced on top of it. Her salad had far more flavor than my burger but also had quite a bit of gristle.

Tab plus tip was just under 50 bucks for a (fancy) burger, a (fancy) salad, and two (fancy) beers. Maybe I just expected more for the price because IMO there are better options out there at that price point.

PS - The jalapeno croutons on the salad were awesome!
