"The 101 Best Burgers in America: Maple & Motor - The cheeseburger is really where it’s at, and we’ll let the menu description speak for itself: “A half-pound of finely ground American beef flat grilled in its own juices. Dressed in traditional Texas fashion with mustard, lettuce, red onion, and dill pickle. Served on a toasted, grill-shined bun. If perfect ain’t enough, add a slunk of America, Cheddar, or Pepper Jack.” We’re booking our plane tickets now."

"The 19 Best Burgers In Texas: Maple & Motor - There’s something decidedly timeless about the burger, and if you get it classically dressed with your choice of cheese (American, cheddar, pepper jack), you’re likely to be thoroughly satisfied when you bite into that grill-kissed bun. You're likely to be even MORE satisfied if you add on some bacon and a fried egg."

"The 50 Greatest Burgers in Texas: Cheeseburger With Bacon and Grilled Jalapeños - To Maple & Motor’s exemplary bun and meat, you should add bacon—thick enough to notice and crisp enough to bite through—and the glorious grilled jalapeños. These aren’t the pickled variety but fresh green chiles tamed by a quick sear. The cheese is your choice (American, cheddar, or pepper jack)."

Kent Rathbun

"It’s all about a fresh cooked burger that’s seasoned to perfection. This one is a melt-in-your-mouth truck-stop burger. Order a double with cheese and get it with grilled onions. For a burger concept, you have to have the whole experience right—great burger, great fries, and a dessert you just can’t pass up. This place has it all."

"There is a process in Jack Perkins’ place: first, you place your order (the bacon cheeseburger with onion rings and a Shiner draft); next, you wait for your name to be called; and lastly, you devour."

"When I’m having a hankering for a great cheeseburger, the boys and I always head down to Jack Perkins’ place. Order everything on it with all the sides."

Kevin Alexander

"The Best Burgers in Dallas: Maple & Motor - As for the little details, the burger meat is well-seasoned and freshly ground, and they double the cheese in a way in which one is melted and one stays relatively cold, which actually creates a pretty good flavor combination in your mouth."

Farah Fleurima

"Get a cheeseburger crisscrossed with two hunks of perfectly crisp bacon. Order the burger pink (as opposed to your only other option of “not pink”) to enjoy maximum juiciness."

D Magazine

"Each burger is constructed with a perfect meat-condiment-bun ratio. The patty reaches the edge of the thin bun; the cheese melts appropriately down the side of the patty. Each bite yields a little bread, mustard, pickle, tomato, and red onion."
