How can it be both national burger and national salad month?

Andrew Reyes

Off the beaten path people...sheesh

Wimpy's is definitely off the beaten path & a decent burger. Right down the street from where I grew up & across the street from where I went to school. Another West Dallas legend.

Matt Fulls

Glad to see Burger Bueno on the list. It is the best burger in this area, as far as I am concerned. Also glad to see Patty Shack in the comments. Haven't eaten there in a while, but at the time, I considered it the best burger in town.

Dallas Observer

Thanks Marc!

How is Keller's not on there? They beat Burgerhouse in taste easily.

You still get my clicks, no worries there!! :)

Dallas Observer

It's really true. Every hour, even

Marc C. Socolov

Every month is burger month for COA!!! Oh wait, they'll throw some BBQ or a taco in there sometimes. ZING!!

Jon Jackson

Haha it's cool, I just like plugging them cause they are right down the street from me. :-P

Dallas Observer

We gave that one a few Best Ofs in the past, so we were going for a little more off the beaten path--but definitely a good one.

Flaming Burger in Garland!

Jon Jackson

Lee Harvey's isn't on this list? HAHA, what a fail. Not only one of he best burgers in Dallas, but it's way off the beaten path. SMH. Fail..fail...fail....

Should go try out Yesterday's in Bridgeport! They have a pretty good char-broiled burger & Cheddar Fries that are sure to please!

Looks like Mixed-Up Burgers should've made the Off the Beaten Path burger places !!! Lots of talk and their rep proceeds them. Soon this place WILL be known for the BEST BURGER !!!

Kellers is a very good "off the beaten path" burger, and go Sat. night to see the old vintage, classic cars, Hot Rods, some really COOL cars.

Off the beaten path would have to be Del's in Richardson, except their fries are frozen, not fresh hand cut. Burgers are cooked over charcoal, good flavor.

Chop House Burgers in Arlington is awesome !! It even got the attention of that show on TLC "Diners, Dives, and Drive Ins" last year. My family is hooked :)

The Holy Grail's burger recipe was taken directly from the Knight's Templar cook book published in 1146AD.

I found a copy on eBay.

Boots Burger is unreal. Absolutely fantastic. Get the double double with spicy relish. The best burger in Rockwall has got to be either Boots or at Bin 303.

Jennie Harding

Tried Boots for the first time last week. Very good burger & that hot relish is awesome. Kellers is still my favorite. :-)

No Wingfield's!!!!!!!!

danielslauren

@lenorisdavis Wingfield's is NOT off the beaten path. More like an icon and staple.

todd

@danielslauren @lenorisdavis LOL, Wingfield's is not off the beaten path but Burger House (Hillcrest in Snyder Plaza) and Holy Grail (Preston Rd. in Plano) are! BTW, Del's Charcoal Burgers in Richardson.

todd

@lenorisdavis @danielslauren Disagree. The phrase "off the beaten path" indicates something that is isolated. Regardless of how long it has been since I've been to Beckley and Illinois, I dare say it is not isolated.

lenorisdavis

@todd @danielslauren If you live north of the Trinity, Wingfield's is off the beaten path. Any body been down Beckley and Illinois lately?

lenorisdavis

@danielslauren Well it is if folk don't come to Oak Cliff on a regular basis.

danielslauren

@lenorisdavis Well, they're silly if they don't. Do you have any other suggestions? We're always looking...

Last week BBQ, this week burgers. Let me guess.....Tacos next week?

danielslauren

@ThisBlogNeedsAnEnema No, we were thinking about seven days of broccoli. Sound good?

alteredjustice

@danielslauren @ThisBlogNeedsAnEnema 7 days of off the beaten path taco burger trucks

@ScottsMerkin Had to change name. New website: http://www.mixedupburgers.com/#!home/mainPage

ScottsMerkin topcommenter

@Mervis @ScottsMerkin doh, I forgot about that. Any word behind the reasoning of name change i.e. got sued or used a trademarked name

Nictacular

@ScottsMerkin @danielslauren @Mervis He also signs his correspondence with, "God Bless Texas." Didn't expect that.

ScottsMerkin topcommenter

@danielslauren @Nictacular @Mervis Oh shit, Rick Perry ate there, and liked it ya'll, now Im a little concerned

ScottsMerkin topcommenter

@danielslauren @Nictacular @Mervis Looks like the restaurant that made the Patty shack change names closed down. So the Patty Shack we all love is now Mixed Up burgers and the other place closed. Oh And it appears they now serve breakfast

@Nictacular @ScottsMerkin @Mervis Yeah, someone else said they had rights over that name. Then I think they got storm damage. They also had "Groupon damage," according a friend of mine. I need to go back also.
