Hubcap Grill – Houston, Texas
If you visit Houston, there’s a good chance you’ll come across at least one Hubcap Grill, which has four locations throughout the city and one airport branch. You’d think that being a franchise restaurant would have a negative impact on their burgers, yet they haven’t lost any of their flavor. Their delectable burgers are created from fresh chuck beef that is hand-formed into patties and handmade toasted buns, and they are definitely worth a try!
Grill Marks – Greenville, South Carolina
Grill Marks now has three locations in South Carolina, two in Greenville and one in Columbia, but the original in downtown Greenville remains their best. Instead of ground beef, the burger business employs chopped certified Angus beef, which gives the patties a unique deeper and richer texture. Their onion rings and fries are also fantastic, and will make you want to return to SC again and again.
