Our Story
The Best Burger Barn was created in Cleburne (Egan), Texas by Byron Rose. Sitting in his circular driveway in a lawn chair with a WalMart fryer, a backyard grill, and a cooler of drinks (yeah, beer too!), Byron started serving the best burgers in Texas! Over the course of a couple of years, the "burger word" spread far and wide. Assisted by his friends and the community, a building was put up and the restaurant became a roadhouse serving the fresh original recipe burgers and expanding into fresh catfish and chicken.
A Shared Life of Service
In 2014, Byron met Rick Rambo and their relationship morphed into a business partnership that today is an award winning and nationally recognized certified veteran owned and operated business. There are now 11 restaurants in operation around the US; but we remain true to our Texas roots. Always fresh and never frozen, our food is cooked when you order, so it takes a little longer but it's the way we roll. No heat lamps in our roadhouse! Sadly, Rick and the team lost Byron in February 2024.
Passion, Community, and Culinary Delights!
To Rick, with the loss of Byron, being a part of Byron's legacy of the Best Burger Barn is challenging, but with Blaine Finch and the rest of the team, he drives the operation as it was when the the doors opened at the original Egan location. Their award winning food, supporting the community, and finding new ways to make Best Burger Barn a fun experience for all are at the top of the list for a great life and legacy.
