Forney’s burger landscape is quite the playground—flavorful creations, cozy spots, and even a newcomer flipping smash patties. We've scouted through the best non-chain joints, crunched local reviews, and taste-tested each one.

1. 🥇 Stash’s Table & Fable

  • Why it tops the list:
    • Yelp bragging: a stellar 4.9 with fans raving “super cool find” and “the smokehouse burger was delicious”
    • InForneyFoodie gave it 4.5/5 for food and declared “if there’s a better burger in Forney, someone needs to point me in its direction”
    • Half-pound patties, brioche buns, kettle chips, and thoughtful seasoning—burger bliss.

2. 🥈 Forney Brewing Co.

  • Why it earns silver:
    • A fresh entry but already getting love on Yelp: “by far the best burger in Forney…it’s a smash style burger”
    • Locals on Facebook shout out “Smash Burger” as a must-try.
    • Bonus: house-brewed beer and laid-back taproom vibe—beer + burger = win.

3. 🥉 Blues Burgers

  • Why it’s still solid:
    • Still holds a place in Yelp’s top 10 (3.5 stars, though fewer reviews than rivals)
    • Known for beef-tallow fries and crispy burgers—great, but maybe slightly overrated compared to contenders above.

4. 🏅 Oscar Delta Texas Kitchen

  • Why it's in the mix:
    • Frequently mentioned in local chatter for delivering generous, flavorful patties.
    • Reliable neighborhood spot—but doesn’t yet bring that extra special touch.

5. 🏅 The Burger Shop

  • Moved to last because...
    • Despite a 4.1-star average on Yelp, your taste says it flat-lined—no zest, no excitement.
    • Customizable? Sure. Memorable? Not so much.

Honorable Mentions

  • Country Burger House – Classic-with-a-twist, olive-burger fans sing its praises.
  • Bearded Monkey Sports Bar & Grill – Solid, juicy pub-style burgers, though fewer bells and whistles.

Where’s the Smash?

Turns out a true smash burger is happening in Forney—Forney Brewing Co. recently launched their smash-style offering, and locals are already into it. But it’s brand new, and there’s room for someone to dive deeper into the crispy-edge smash game.
