Fort Worth Cowtown burger · Fort Worth

A half-pound fresh-ground beef patty pressed thin on a flat-top, served on a soft bun with mustard, raw white onion, pickles, and American cheese. The Fort Worth counter-burger tradition since Kincaid's opened in 1946.

The Cowtown burger traces directly to Kincaid's Hamburgers on Camp Bowie Boulevard, which began life as a grocery store butcher shop in 1946. When supermarkets made grocery-butcher shops obsolete, the Kincaid family pivoted to selling burgers from the same butcher block, grinding fresh beef daily and pressing patties on a flat-top behind the counter. The result became one of Texas Monthly's best burgers in the state, drawing visitors who came specifically for a simple half-pounder with no frills beyond mustard, onion, and pickles.
