Anybody up for a burger?

Denton's Burger Time Machine makes the best ever sci-fi dive burger. Yes, that's a thing. http://t.co/XG8FQ6kpRy pic.twitter.com/9FOdw7fQar

Ate there about a month ago, and it was considerably better than I remembered. I think I may have remembered something that existed between MG's and the Time Machine. It was like Crazy Burger or some such thing.

Only ever had MGs. I think it was Good Burger after that, oldguy?

I'd be willing to try, but I'm set in my ways (RG Burger).

Not sure what the middle ground entity was. I do miss MG's. Matt and Gloria were super nice and they made pretty good food for a smoky dive crappy beer bar called a "brewery"

The current Time Machine incarnation has much better fries than RG. Otherwise, I won't put one burger inherently over the other. They've both got their unique identities.

looks good. I'll throw in another plug for Muddy Jakes. Their burgers are the bomb and you are surrounded by beer towers and Mean Green. I went up in pant size after eating their BLTA burger...(burger patty, bacon, lettuce, tomato, avocado, ....topped with a fried egg. Oh my gosh....

Walked by there last month. Looked pretty good inside. But I was on my way to meet a female of the opposite s3x who has very strict uppity food and Oak Street tastes. A sports bar would not have gone over well.

If you say anything other than RG's in Denton then you crazy! Although I do enjoy some time machine. I seem to remember a good place off the square too but cant remember the name.

This one ain't looking too bad either...

Quick story if you don't mind.

This place was originally called MG's. Before they opened, I walked past several times per week. I stopped in during the remodeling process (the building used to house a Braums). I learned the new restaurant was being opened by a father and son named Gary (?) and Mike (?). I asked what they were going to call the place and they said they weren't sure, but maybe GM's. I suggested they call it MG's and use a little British sports car as their gimmick. They opened as MG's and at least for a while, had one side of a MGB and the front end of the car on display. As the owner of an MG, I'm a little sensitive about people using samples of my car for restaurant décor, but that's just one of several little items I'm trying to deal with each day.

Whew. I promised a short story. J

RJ's (in the shadow of the Corn Kits sign) was the greatest burger ever made in Denton. I will fight any man that says otherwise. It was the Steve's BBQ of burgers. You could also get your RV detailed at the same time.

Unfortunately RJ was raised up to that grill in the sky, and the business didn't survive him.

Travis Scott · March 27, 2015

oh....Steve's BBQ...worth a whole thread on it's own. it was BBQ perfection

What was that great little place that sat in the parking lot of Fouts years ago? I ate there back in 1999 or 2000, had some great food. I think it burned down?

Texas pickup area??? By the chevron and west...

Stopped by Time Machine tonight based on this thread. Burger, fries and root beer. Verdict: Legit and worth a visit.

Since this thread got me hungry for a burger, had this bad boy down in Deep Ellum this evening.

Were you at Uncle Uber's? The paper and lettuce leads me to believe so..I will go to war to defend their sammiches.

Indeed I was. And it was amazing. The kid found her new religion in the Oak Cliff mango soda. I'll try the sammiches next time I'm down there. I hear the shaved ribeye is spectacular.
