Griff’s Hamburgers for a Triple Cheeseburger

Griff’s Hamburger first came to my attention when I was doing research for the Burger Museum. After eating one of their triple cheeseburgers, it’s now one of my favorite Regional Burger Joints.

Griff’s Hamburger currently has three locations (Bossier City, Shreveport, Scott) in Louisiana and eight (Dallas, Fort Worth, Garland, Haltom City, Irving, Mesquite, River Oaks, and San Antonio) in Texas.

The first “Griff’s Burger Bar” was founded by H.J. Griffith in March of 1960—the same founding city as White Castle: Wichita, Kansas. I always thought that was a cool fact.

Fred and his Steak Fingers

Unfortunately, the inside was off-limits, so we used the drive-thru to get our grub. Fred loves to order the oddest thing on the menu and then wish he hadn’t picked it. However, the steak fingers were a pleasant surprise.

The steak fingers were tasty. If you like country-fried steak, imagine them in chicken tender size. The steak sandwich seemed like a more logical choice, so it was no surprise that Fred was still hungry.

I was more sensible and chose the number four combo: Griff’s Triple Giant Cheeseburger with fries and a soft drink. The burger alone was $7.59, so add the fries and drink for a mere $2.40. Those are not Miami, Florida prices.

I’m all about branded packaging, and Griff’s logo on the cup, fry, and burger bags made my day. The shoestring fries were crispy and salted perfectly—so perfect that I skipped dipping them in ketchup.

I just felt the Triple Giant Cheeseburger would look incredible and so delicious that I’d be in a burger coma. Well, I was right.

The triple cheeseburger was a beautiful burger specimen. It should be studied by these so-called sandwich experts selling unnecessarily expensive burgers.

I kept it simple with pickles, onions, and mustard. Those three together are the perfect combo for a griddled burger. That’s something I discovered during my years of road food trips through the Midwest.

The best part of eating at Griff’s Hamburgers was the burger; the second best part was realizing that In-N-Out Donuts was right across the street.
