Top Notch Hamburgers

Top Notch Hamburgers is defined by its flashing marquee sign and the covered drive-in stalls that line the front of the restaurant on Burnet Road. Since nineteen seventy-one, this roadside stand has served charcoal-grilled burgers and fried chicken to visitors who can choose to eat inside the wood-paneled dining room or remain in their cars for traditional curb service. The grill is the centerpiece of the operation, imparting a smoky flavor to the beef that distinguishes these patties from those cooked on standard flat-top griddles.
