Twisted Root Burger Co.

Featured on Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins, & Dives, this epic burger mecca has garnered a cult status and thirteen locations to boot since opening in Deep Ellum in 2006. And the appeal has as much to do with the inventive toppings (think thyme caramelized onions and smashed fries) as it does with the variety of offerings, which includes everything from wagyu beef to turkey and exotic game. The go-to order? The half-pound Western Burger slathered in house-made barbecue sauce and loaded with pepper Jack cheese, bacon, fried onion strings and jalapenos. Pair it up with an order of twisted cheese fries and a boozy custard shake.
