Cupp's!, I've been to the other three waco locations (Dubl-R, Kitoks, Health Camp) you've listed and cupp's has them beat on the burger part of the deal. Favorite cheeseburger in the entire state is at Storms drive in lampasas, they also have a location in hamilton.

You should really try the hamburgers at Uncle Dan's BBQ. They were originally served at Waco's best burger joint "The Smokehouse". Uncle Dan's has kept the tradition of those great burgers alive. The #5 is fantastic. This burger is going to drip so you need to order it with Fritos to scoop up the mixed cheese, onions, chili, relish sauces and hickory sauce. If you have

I'm always late. Today I'm trying to find a place to meet with my friend Tom, when he drives from Austin to OKCity and we drive from Dallas back to Austin, and Health Camp came up as an idea... so I find this post.

I've been eating at Health Camp for years as I drive thru from Austin to Dallas, and ate there during a short time of living in Waco in the early 80's.

"Jack Nicholson," Told me one time,
that if I was ever in North Carolina
that I should go to his favorite Burger Joint. Kutchie's Key West Cafe, he said that Kutchie's cheese
burgers are the best in the World.
The waitresses are exceptionally
beautiful,the drinks are very good and quite powerful. Too be sure and
eat a slice of Kutchie's World&

Shakes are the health camp thing. Try Britt's Burger Barn on Colcord in Waco. Best ones in town, I'd say with Kitoks second. Britt's gets the edge for the sweet potatoe fries.

You gotta try Sparkle Burger in downtown Houston. It's just NE of the I-45S/US-59N interchange at the corner of Leeland and Dowling street. Huge burgers for 3 bucks. I was in physical pain before finishing the double. Great shakes and onion rings to boot. Call ahead and order in advance if you don't want to have to wait more than 10 mins.

Health Camp isn't bad, but you are correct that it is a let down, considering the expectations most people have when they arrive there.

But they can shake or malt in any flavor of your choosing. Try the peanut butter malt. Forget the burger at this point because you'll be good for the afternoon. Peanut Butter Malt.

Born in Waco and lived there 22 years thru 1977. Superburger was best burger I ever ate including those I found in Houston and San Antonio. However, recent visits I have noticed changes. Original was 2 qtr lb all beef patties w old english cheese, shredded lettuce, chopped onions, special sauce (like thousand island)and fresh tomatoes on 3 part bun. Now it is 2 larger patties w american cheese on

No mention of Mr. "D" the honorary manager? I was looking at the photos on the wall of him and then looked over and there he was, eating his dinner.

Asked him about he photos. Struck up a conversation. Turns out he showed up there on opening day in 1949 after hearing a rumor that Health Camp was a nudist camp. Disappointed, but none-the-less, he has been coming back ever since.

I lived in Waco for 21 years and still go to the Healthcamp for the Superburger when I go home to visit. Best burger anywhere. Wish we had hamburgers like that in Pasadena TX.

Have to agere with Dave in Dallas.

You ordered wrong, you have to order the Super health Burger.

Best burger there is anywhere, period.

Everybody who knows the Health Camp (and I've known it for over 40 years) knows there are two ways to go - the Super Health Burger, which is a double decker similar to a McDonalds Big Mac (in fact, this is the burger McDonalds was shooting for with the Big Mac, but fell far short of the perfection of the SHB), or alternatively, you get TWO cheeseburgers with your fries, rings, malt, shake,

anonymous is correct. I attended Baylor U. for awhile in the early 90's and Kitok's is still a great memory and a great burger. Double Liplocker and Oriental Fries. Delicious. Check it out!

The Elite Cafe had better burgers. It was almost next door to it. I don't know if it's still open or not.

I used to go to school at Texas State Tech College in Waco.

Next time you are in Waco try out Double-R or Kitok's for a better burger experience. Kitok's is known for the liplocker with cheese served with a side of their excellent Oriental fries.

Now living in Southern California eating the famous In N Out burgers.Which are one of the top three burgers,if not the best burger joint here.The only difference between In N Out and Healthcamp is that In N Out is commercial and Healthcamp has the classic feel to it,like you stepped back in time.Healthcamp is highly recommended in all aspects,My opinion, one of the best burgers out there.

2007-08-11T17:38:00.000-07:00

Health Camp is known for the shakes not the burgers. I used to eat there a lot with my parents when I was younger. However, I would always order the onion rings and a butterscotch shake - yum!

I enjoy your blog, keep on eatin' burgers around Texas! :)
