Flower Mound’s burger scene is as bold and creative as the people who call it home. From smoky smashburgers to over-the-top loaded buns, there’s no shortage of spots that turn an ordinary craving into something worth bragging about.
Let’s get to it.
Flurry’s Market
When Louisiana flavor meets Texan hospitality, you get Flurry’s Market in Flower Mound. Clayton and Katie Flurry run this place and you can tell in every detail. The storefront has a rustic-meets-modern feel, like someone’s cool aunt’s kitchen got an upgrade. It’s casual, friendly, and laid-back, just how a southern spot should be.
Their burgers are the real highlight. They use half-pound patties ground in-house, smashed on buttery Martin’s potato rolls. The Double Cheddar Texas Smash is a must-try, loaded with grilled onions, double white cheddar and candied jalapeños. If you prefer something more classic, go for the Flurry’s Prime with lettuce, tomato and scratch-made mayo that tastes like it’s been perfected over decades.
Don’t skip the sides. The fries are fried in beef tallow and come out crispy every time. You can also sample hushpuppies and a range of house sauces that blend Louisiana picnic flavors with Texas backyard charm. Wash it down with a frozen cocktail, a rotating craft beer, or a glass of wine. It’s a spot where you can bring your crew and leave smelling like brisket, just how it should be.
Local Pint
If you’re in the mood for a laid-back bar with serious flavor, Local Pint in Flower Mound checks all the boxes. They’ve got 48 craft beers on tap and a burger menu that’ll surprise even the biggest burger purists. The BOJ Burger stacks brie, stout-bacon-onion jam and crisp lettuce on a juicy patty, delivering a sweet-savory punch you’ll want to tell your friends about. Then there’s the 2499 Burger, parked on a parmesan-crusted panini with secret Flo Mo sauce and crispy bacon.
You can swap in an Impossible patty or choose from beer-infused buns, classic brioche, and more. Don’t skip the hand-battered cheese curds or beer cheese fries either. The vibe is casual, with bartenders who actually talk to you and regular events like brewery nights and charity fundraisers. Local Pint has been family-owned since 2017 and has powered through everything from remodels to COVID shutdowns.
Parking is never a problem, and the space feels welcoming from the moment you walk in. It’s the kind of spot where everyone’s invited, and the menu has something for every taste.
Verf’s Grill & Tavern
Stepping into Verf’s Grill & Tavern, the vibe is laid-back with a touch of upscale. This independent, family-owned spot feels grown-up without making it awkward to bring the kids. You’ll often find sports playing on the screens and seating that lets you settle in without rushing off.
They’re serious about their burgers. The O.G. is a solid starting point, but the El Jefe steals the show with hatch chili aioli, Oaxaca cheese, grilled onions and guac on a locally sourced bakery bun. There’s also a chorizo-beef blend for folks who want something a bit different.
The sides are standouts too. Parmesan fries and jalapeño hushpuppies might even outshine the regular fries, depending on who you ask. The full service bar pours craft cocktails, drafts, bottles and more. Kids get a surprisingly good menu, not just the usual afterthought.
Menus rotate based on what the chef is excited about, so it never feels stale. Free parking in the plaza and walkable access if you’re nearby make Verf’s a local favorite worth cheering for.
Tycoon
Tycoon in Lakeside Village blends upscale vibes with a laid-back speakeasy feel. The glow bar doubles as a centerpiece and the patio seating gives you fresh air without feeling too formal. It’s the kind of spot where the design feels swank but the staff keeps things friendly.
The burgers are a big draw. You’ll find classic two-patty cheeseburgers with melty American cheese, minced onion and house-made Tycoon sauce. On the flip side, the gourmet sliders steal the show. Choose Akaushi or Wagyu beef with Gruyere, caramelized onions and roasted garlic aioli on King’s Hawaiian rolls.
If you’re in for sides, order the Parmesan Truffle Fries and thank us later. Tycoon welcomes families even without high chairs or a paper kids menu. They’re also heavy on wine and cocktails, and regulars can even snag their own liquor locker, which feels pretty exclusive.
Service is full table service. No drive-thru here. Swing by for weekend brunch or hit happy hour during the week. They cover all the bases and do it with confidence.
Burgers & Brats
Down in Flower Mound, Burgers & Brats is the place locals brag about when they need a burger that leaves an impression. It’s the opposite of a slick chain, inside seating is cozy, with a roomy patio that shines when Texas weather cooperates. Every burger here comes half-pound big, piled high with toppings.
You can go classic or pick something like the Crime Scene topped with jalapeño kettle chips and hot sauce dripping right through the bun. Or heat it up with the Road Rage, loaded with cayenne and fresh jalapeños so you’ll remember where you ate lunch all day.
They offer chicken, turkey, and veggie patties too, plus gluten-free buns, surprisingly rare at a real burger spot. Bayers Bakery in Muenster delivers fresh buns daily. Fries are hot and crisp, onion rings pack a solid crunch, and you owe it to yourself to try the German potato salad or a bratwurst at least once.
It’s BYOB, so don’t forget your cooler, and the family-friendly staff knows half the regulars by name. Just remember, they’re closed on Mondays.
Jakes Burgers and Beer
At Jakes Burgers and Beer in Flower Mound, Texas style rules the menu and the mood. Since 1985, this spot has served up half-pound burgers on poppy seed buns baked fresh in Fort Worth. The dining room feels like a classic sports bar with big TVs, sunshine pouring through roll-up garage doors, and a laid-back patio.
The “Burger of the Month” is always worth a try, but you can’t go wrong with their half-pounders or the adventurous Kickin’ Chicken Fried Bacon Burger. Hand-cut fries are crispy, and the sweet potato ones earn bonus points when dipped in marshmallow sauce. They stock plenty of bottled and draft beers, highlighting local Texas brews, plus cocktails like loaded Bloody Marys for weekend brunch.
Kids and families fit right in, and prices stay reasonable even during happy hour. Parking is easy, seriously, it’s right there in the lot. With straightforward flavors and a no-pretense vibe, Jakes makes it clear: this is where Texas meets burger bliss.
Underdogs Burgers & Brews
There’s a spot in Flower Mound called Underdogs Burgers & Brews that’s become impossible to ignore if you’re into great burgers or a laid-back sports bar vibe. It’s right on the River Walk and nails the fun atmosphere locals look for. The smash-style burgers are made from Texas Wagyu beef from Heartbrand. That means you get butteriness without a grease stain on your shirt.
You’ll find classic cheeseburgers and more adventurous options like the Southern Pride Burger with fried green tomatoes, bacon jam, and a sunny-side-up egg. Everything on the menu shows some real thought. Sauces, dressings, and even cocktail syrups are made in house and stay fresh. The fries are hand cut and you might spot unique appetizers that the kitchen team was proud to create.
Inside you can watch games on plenty of TVs or play pinball, darts, and arcade games. There’s also a kids’ area that keeps siblings busy.
Outside on the pet-friendly patio you get River Walk views. They stay open late on weekends and often have live music on tap.
MOOYAH Burgers, Fries & Shakes
Inside MOOYAH Burgers, Fries & Shakes, customization takes center stage with a friendly vibe. You start by picking your protein, 100% Certified Angus beef, turkey or a plant-based patty, so everyone finds something they like. Then you choose from signature burgers like the MDC double-patty, the Cheddar Bacon BBQ or go all in with The Well-D’Onion, piled high with caramelized onions and tangy sauces.
The potato buns are baked in-house every morning and hold up to every juicy bite. Fries are hand-cut from Idaho potatoes, with sweet potato fries available if you want a switch-up. Shakes use real ice cream and are blended to order.
Inside, the vibe is modern and industrial, complete with communal tables and big overhead lights. Families fit right in thanks to a dedicated kids menu that goes beyond the usual options. Order at the counter, grab a seat and enjoy the free parking right out front. The service is fast, the menu is flexible, and a table is never far away.
Culver’s
When it comes to Midwestern fast food, Culver’s hits the spot with its homey vibe. From the blue and white décor to the cheerful team members greeting you at the counter, it feels welcoming. This is the place for fresh ButterBurgers made with real Midwest beef, never frozen, smashed on a griddle and tucked into a toasted, buttered Kaiser-style bun. If you want a twist, try the Wisconsin Swiss or one of the rotating pub specials… there’s even a Harvest Veggie patty loaded with cheese so you don’t feel too guilty.
The cheese curds here live up to the hype, and the crinkle-cut fries are perfectly salty. There’s also salads, soups, and a kids’ menu with crayons and high chairs ready. Stick around for frozen custard sundaes or concrete mixes topped with the Flavor of the Day. No late-night hours or craft beer, but you can grab a seat on the patio, even bring your dog. It’s quick to park, fast to order, and comfy enough to stay for another scoop of custard heaven.
The Tavern at Lakeside
Over at The Tavern at Lakeside, it’s all about good burgers and nonstop game action. This sports bar has a fresh feel with 25 TVs lining the walls and a dog-friendly patio overlooking the lake. On weekends, the brunch crew takes over the bar, pouring Bloody Marys and $2 mimosas like it’s a tradition.
The burger menu covers everything from the classic Tavern Cheeseburger to the Smash Burger, which layers two crispy-edged sirloin patties with fried jalapeño bottle caps, pepper jack cheese, and a drizzle of avocado crème. Every bun comes from a local bakery so it actually tastes like someone cared. Sides here can steal the show. The bacon mac and cheese brings comfort, and the Brussels sprouts are roasted up so they feel like an indulgence.
Seasonal specials pop up every few months, keeping things interesting. There’s a long list of beers and bourbons to choose from, and when the weather’s nice, the firepits and cornhole games on the patio are hard to beat. Friendly staff, laid-back vibe, and plenty of screens make it a winning spot.
Red Robin Gourmet Burgers and Brews
Red Robin Gourmet Burgers and Brews is the go-to spot when you need big burgers and bottomless fries with zero shame. With over 500 locations, the menu runs wild with thick, flame-grilled patties topped with everything from candied bacon and caramelized onions to aiolis you might struggle to pronounce. Favorites include the Whiskey River BBQ and MadLove burgers, plus wild creations like the Scorpion if you’re feeling daring.
If beef isn’t on your radar, they’ve got grilled chicken, an Impossible patty, or lettuce wraps to keep things light. The real draw is the refills. Steak fries, tater tots, or sweet potato rounds. Pick your side and ask for more as many times as you like.
The restaurant buzzes with families and sports fans, and kids keep busy with the coloring menus. You’ll find table service, easy parking, and a patio for sunny days. Wash it all down with one of their many beers or shakes, and remember to sign up for the rewards program if you plan on making this your regular spot.
