Best Burgers in Missouri City, TX: 6 Spots Worth the Stop

The best burgers in Missouri City, TX are at Trill Burgers in Fort Bend Town Center, Mo City Eatz on Lake Olympia Parkway and Texas Biergarten on Highway 6. Local Table, Five Guys and Whataburger round out six verified picks. Nearly all of them sit on Highway 6 or FM 1092, so you can plan a burger run without leaving town.

Here's the line to send the group chat: in Missouri City, a family restaurant with St. Louis roots serves a Show-Me Bacon Jam Burger, and the Trill Burgers here has a mural honoring Z-Ro, the rapper behind "Mo City Don."

How do we define Missouri City?

This guide covers restaurants with Missouri City addresses in the 77459 and 77489 ZIP codes, in the mostly Fort Bend County city southwest of Houston. In practice that means Fort Bend Town Center at the Fort Bend Tollway, the Highway 6 corridor from Stone River Commons south toward Sienna Parkway, FM 1092, and Lake Olympia Parkway on the east side. One pick, the Whataburger near Sienna Parkway, sits in the Sienna area, where some addresses fall in Missouri City's extraterritorial jurisdiction rather than its city limits. We left out Sugar Land, Stafford and Pearland, even where a restaurant is a short drive over the line. Those are in our Sugar Land burger guide and our Houston burger guide.

How we chose

Every restaurant here had to show a current, operating Missouri City location on its own official website as of November 2026, plus a burger worth ordering. We looked for range: a celebrity smash burger, a family-run local spot, a beer garden, a sit-down restaurant, and the reliable chains you want at the end of a long day.

Hours change, so treat every schedule below as "typically" and check the restaurant's site before you go. We left out places we couldn't confirm as open on an official page, including restaurants still listed as "coming soon" and sites that were blocked or offline when we checked.

Order the Show-Me Bacon Jam Burger (pepper jack, crispy bacon pieces, grilled onion and a house-made jam) or CZ's Trash Burger, which adds a fried egg, bacon and pepper jack to the patty.
