(Tyler, Texas) - When it comes to burgers in Tyler, Texas a lot of them are served medium well, with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles, mustard, and ketchup on a sesame seed bun. Of course, there are so many variations and combinations that others prefer. For instance, I prefer my burger to be well done with cheddar cheese and pickle juice and topped with some mustard and a little ketchup and I'll be satisfied.

Where are the best burgers in Tyler served up?

That all depends upon who you ask and several other factors too. For some that perfect juicy hamburger could be made with ground beef, mixed with sirloin, brisket, or even lamb, or made of turkey, chicken, mushrooms or vegetables. Many Tyler residents consider the fantastic burger to be made from a mixture of ground beef and sirloin and cooked with a thin line of pink in the middle.
