Every great city needs an exceptional throwback burger joint, one that harkens back to another, simpler place and time, where the servers still call you "hon" and "baby" and the customers respond with a yes, ma'am. That place is MytiBurger, still going strong after 50 years in business in Garden Oaks in its original retro Googie digs with a drive-through, checkered black and white floors, and just the right amount of kitsch, from the vintage soda fountain to the pictures of old Houston to the lore of Patrick Swayze, a former regular. You'll want to park at one of the cramped, bright tables to down your crisp fries and MytiBurger, which borders on being a classic flat-top burger, though it's a little bigger than that and is smothered in cheese with all the traditional toppings. Throw in a deep-fried apple hand pie or a chocolate milkshake and call it a day.
