Maple & Motor on Maple Avenue in Dallas has been one of the city’s most celebrated burger destinations since it opened, building a reputation around hand-formed burgers cooked on a flat-top griddle with the kind of quality beef and creative toppings that earn a neighborhood burger joint its destination reputation in a city that takes its burgers seriously. It appeared in Season 14, Episode 2 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “Streamlined Sammies,” which aired April 9, 2012. Guy Fieri found a Dallas burger kitchen doing things from scratch with the no-frills commitment that makes a great burger shop — quality beef, proper technique, and the condiments that let the meat do the work.

What to Eat
The Maple & Motor Burger — hand-formed beef patty on a toasted bun with house-made condiments — is the straightforward Texas burger done properly, which means quality beef and proper griddle technique rather than creative distractions. The Double Burger for those who need more beef between the bun is the option most regulars graduate to after their first visit. The Grilled Cheese with quality cheese on toasted bread is the sandwich that proves the kitchen respects simple food done correctly. The Hand-Cut Fries cooked to order are the side most tables add automatically. Find a Dallas hotel on Travelocity.
