"A Montrose mainstay noted for serving one of Space City's spiciest burgers, cited as a long-running neighborhood favorite." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Lankford Grocery & Market occupies a corner of Midtown untouched by modernity, and eating excessively topped cheeseburgers here feels similar to hanging out in a town where they've outlawed dancing. We especially like the Grim burger stuffed with macaroni and cheese or the Midtown with a thick onion ring and a BBQ-sauce-slathered patty." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas, julie takahashi
"Maybe suggesting a burger spot is kind of a cop out here, but seriously, who the hell are you going to share a burger with? Keep these hefty burgers at Lankford’s Grocery & Market in Midtown all to yourself. Every burger has its own unhinged addition, like the Grim burger patty that sits on a bed of macaroni and cheese, or the Midtown with an entire fried onion ring smothered in BBQ sauce. After eating here, you won’t even have to hit up a drive-thru afterwards (something you may or may need to do after a small plates dinner)." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
"Lankford’s Grocery & Market has been pumping out burgers from a little red-and-white corner shack in Midtown since 1936. While a lot had changed in the neighborhood, Lankford’s has remained pretty much exactly the same. Join the rest of the downtown lunch crowd for burgers loaded with macaroni and cheese, a thick onion ring, cayenne butter, sliced tender brisket, and even Frito pie. And even though the burger sinks like a lead bomb in your stomach, each one is so satisfying you won’t stop eating until the whole thing disappears." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
"Originally a grocery store, Lankford’s is now a casual joint that’s gained national attention on the Food Network’s Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. Known for its killer burgers and daily specials, including tacos and chicken-fried steak, this family-owned gem in Midtown and Bellaire delivers a memorable meal." - Marcy de Luna, Brittany Britto Garley
