Brett’s BBQ, Narwhal Jousting Club, Feges BBQ, and more

Thursday, July 24, 2025 —

While I haven’t felt compelled to draft full-blown reviews these last few months, I have continued to seek out and enjoy multiple new delicious hamburgers in and around H-Town (and a few on vacation as well).

Among the standouts this past spring/summer have included Brett’s BBQ, Narwhal Jousting Club, Feges BBQ, Bad Buns, Johnny Good Burger, and more.

I need to do a Houston Power Rankings soon, so keep an eye out for that.

Brett’s BBQ’s (off-menu) Triple Cheeseburger.

Narwhal Jousting Club‘s delicious cheesy double cheeseburger.

Bad Buns‘ expertly charred Triple Smashburger.

Recent entrant to the scene Fresh & Furious‘ double smashburger packs a flavor punch.

Personal longtime favorite Old School Burger—probably Katy’s best burger—never disappoints. Here we have my beloved Double Blue Star Burger.

Moosa Colony is dripping with fun smashburger spots. This is from Boss Bites, which is only a 7-minute drive north up Highway 6 from Bad Buns.

Johnny Good Burger at the POST downtown absolutely hit the spot on Father’s Day.

Weekend pop-up Novi Burger (at Xela Coffee Roasters in EaDo) offered an enjoyable smash experience.

The Triple Cheeseburger from Feges BBQ. Totaly gluttony, and I’m here for it.

Copenhagen (on Mason Rd in Katy) offers perhaps the most over-the-top, gluttonous meat delivery vehicle experience of any in this roundup. Their Great Dane consists of “two juicy 1/2-pound Angus beef patties, crowned with blue cheese, tangy pickled veggies, crispy fried onions, ripe tomatoes, and a sprinkle of bacon magic, all snugly nestled in a toasted bun.” The fact that they are essentially immediately adjacent to Old School Burger is crazy — so much burger excellence within a tiny radius at this random retail center in Katy!

Not my best photo, but this was a tasty blue cheese double at Blaze, a brewery and gastropub on the main drag in Bar Harbor, Maine.

The Big Mami from Mami in Portland, Maine. Squid ink bun!
