Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
Take a quick jaunt up to University Drive near TWU and you'll find Burger Time Machine, which makes the best burger in Denton. That's kind of surprising, considering it's in a shack stuffed with movie posters and arcade games straight out of 1989. But somehow, Burger Time Machine hits all the high notes to create the burger of your dreams: fresh beef, toasted buns, a solid range of toppings and the perfect amount of sloppy goodness. Plus, the signature half-pound Time Machine burger goes for $6.95, which you could probably find in quarters on the floor of your car. If burgers went to school, the Time Machine would steal their lunch money.
Head under the highway to the south side of 35 and you'll find the Frosty Drive N, a diner built in 1954 with looks, music and menu prices to match. The burgers, onion rings, chili dogs and tots are delicious, but the real draw here is the joint's frosty mugs of homemade root beer. If you know what you're doing, you'll drop in a scoop of ice cream or two. Thank us later.
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
