Best Burgers in Houston | Eater Houston

"Putting a seafood restaurant’s burger on this map feels bizarre, but Balboa Surf Club is deserving. Known to make nearly all of its ingredients, the Post Oak Boulevard restaurant offers a patty made with beef chuck ground in-house, topped with jack cheese, crisp lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, and its Channel Island sauce for $19. Its seafood option is also a standout — the $22 tuna burger, which features a thick filet of pan-seared ahi tuna topped with avocado, pickled onion, and jalapeño coleslaw. Pro-tip: For an equally tasty burger with a different spin, head to its sister restaurant, Il Bracco, located across the parking lot in Post Oak Plaza. Toppings, including aged provolone, Calabrian chilies, and a refreshing padding of arugula, fennel, and red onion, ensure the beef in it truly shines." - Brittany Britto Garley
