I'm down for a good burger/shake place too. I'd also like to keep it family oriented (no drugs/alcohol...who wants to drive under the influence anyway?).

Depending on where everyone's coming from, I think a meeting point in the Galleria area might be a good idea, just to split the difference among us. Those coming from the South may not want to go to Katy, and I know I don't want to go down to Clear Lake (I live in NW Houston).

That said, right off the bat, I found three decent burger places on or near Westheimer Road, all very close to each other:

1. Pappa's Burgers (Westheimer btwn Chimney Rock & Fountainview) - It's been a long time since I ate there, but I remember it being much better than average. Plenty of overflow parking and space to spread out.

The next two are both at the San Felipe/Fountainview intersection.

2. Southwell's Hamburger Grill (San Felipe side) - Decent enough user reviews, but part of a strip mall. Crowded.

3. Cliff's Old Fashion Hamburgers (Fountainview side) - Mixed user reviews, more parking room, no milkshakes (?!?)

Anyway, it's getting late and I'm getting lazy. Tomorrow I'll set up a poll for who wants to come, where they're coming from, if the Galleria area is a decent place to meet, etc.

 

I like the TGI fridays location, im pretty close

November 1st might be a bit too soon for me though.

Southwells works too, if its the ricekiller location im thinking about (taylor st?) i can make it there.

 

I agree. We should split the difference. I like your 1st Resturaunt Idea. Lots of parking, good food, good location. Post a link for the pole thread here if you could.

 

this one looks to be the best'

That place looks good to me too.

 

it looks really good. but what do we do after we eat. there is a place called tookies in kemah. the reason i mention them is when we are done eating there is a really nice car show every saturday evewning right down the street.

 

If only Houston wasn't so ugly. A cruise around town would be sweet. I kbnow what your taliking about with the Kemah thing. That is a sweet place to hang out.

 

so why is houston so ugly. guess you have to have lived here for 42 years to appreciate it.

 

if you have a GTG in huntsville I'll try to grab some DFW buddies to join the party. i'd love to have a picture of my car made in front of big Sam.

hmmm.. i think I just came up with an idea for a future roundup.... hmmmm

 

Honestly, what's wrong with cruising Westheimer? Yeah, it's congested, but so is everywhere else in Houston.

I'm going to throw our get together in the works out to WestHoustonMuscle.com. I know they cruise all over Houston, so I bet they'll have some ideas.

Also, let's try to move the discussion over to the Houston Meetup Poll thread so we can maintain some kind of continuity.

 

Its not just Westheimer, its the whole are in general your talking about. The traffic sucks, the roads suck. Parking is a nightmare just about everywhere. Thats my experience anyway.

 

To the POLL!!!

 

Yes, please direct all replies to Houston Meetup Poll...thanks!!
