Fort Worth’s original Kincaid’s gets last minute reprieve

by Steve Smith of of West and Clear

Bud Kennedy informs us that Kincaid’s is staying put on Camp Bowie after all. Days before a threatened eviction, the owners of the legendary burger joint have reached an 11th-hour agreement to keep their location in the former grocery store where it has been for 62 years.

Bud also opened the door to one of the most passionate ongoing debates in this town: “Fort Worth and Arlington both are great hamburger towns,” he writes. “Plenty of diners have other favorites such as Fred’s Cafe or Tommy’s Hamburgers in Fort Worth or Al’s Hamburgers in Arlington, along with plenty of new-wave burger cafes.”

What’s your favorite? I think Kincaid’s and Tommy’s are good. Al’s will do if you have to be in Arlington. But Terry Chandler’s FredBurger is the gold standard in my book. I’ll put a FredBurger with grilled jalapenos and cold Rahr up against all comers.
