Burger House is a small neighborhood dive kitchen that was opened in Dallas in 1951. This small shack was originally built as nothing more than a vessel from stovetop grilled burger to hungry customer, but it has grown into a staple location for North Dallas food, and the location is half the experience. This diner has facilitated family meals for generations of Dallasites including myself. I will never forget my progression from being able to run under the ordering counter to ordering a meal myself with high school friends. This building, originally an afterthought to the food it provided, now highlights a sense of nostalgia and belonging for those that grew up in the area. This building is the perfect symbol of holding onto something that might be old, but surely isn’t broken. As buildings expand and develop around this homely diner, people of all ages will continue to flock from all around to take a seat at an old stool, and take a bite out of a delicious burger.
