Local, independent, worth the wait — a craft burger-and-beer room and a chef-driven joint with table service.
Frisco has way more than chains. You just have to know where to look.
The shortlist
Haystack Burgers and Barley. Craft burgers and craft beer under one roof, never-frozen beef, built-to-order. Kevin and Jenny Galvan started the first one in 2013 wanting a restaurant that was actually part of its neighborhood.
Kenny’s Burger Joint. Fine-dining instincts in a burger-joint format, and it works. Fresh-ground, butcher-quality patties with table service — Frisco’s most polished independent burger.
Save this for your next Frisco run.
