Smash'd

Smash'd is a lively Grayson Street spot built around smash burgers made with Texas Wagyu beef. The menu goes beyond the basics with options like a Spam-topped Hawaiian stack and a breakfast burger with egg, and it ranks among the city's top burger joints by Yelp reviews.

The setting is a big part of the appeal. There is a patio with live music and trivia nights, plus a self-serve beer wall and cocktails, which makes it a better pick for an evening out than a quick lunch. It is a short hop from the Pearl if you are exploring that part of town.
