These Texas Cities Have the Cheapest Burger Combos in America

If you’re from Texas and love cheeseburgers, this might be the best news you’ll hear today. Seriously, I can’t remember a time when I’ve been happier to be from the Lone Star State. Yes, I’m exaggerating a bit, but I’m quite the fan of the classic burger, fries, and soda combo. 

I’m one of those folks who tries to keep my meals light and basic during the week and then loosen up a little more on the weekend. Don’t get me wrong – I'm not really on a diet. It’s just that I do my best to eat healthier foods on most days.

So, I don’t really have a “cheat day” like those who are on strict diets. Instead, I’ll indulge a little more from Friday at lunch through Sunday at lunch. Not that I go crazy and eat everything in sight, but I will enjoy at least a couple of meals that aren’t, let’s say, the healthiest. 

And you can bet your ass that one of those meals will include a cheeseburger. So, I was quite pleased when I saw DoorDash’s latest State of Local Commerce report, comparing the average price of a cheeseburger, fries, and a soda across several U.S. cities. 

It turns out that Austin is the cheapest city for a burger combo in the entire country. In fact, Laredo is the second cheapest, with Irving and San Antonio also ranked among the 10 cheapest cities for a burger combo. 

How Does Wichita Falls Compare? 

Bear with me as this isn’t the most extensive research ever, but according to Google’s AI overview, the price of a cheeseburger combo in Wichita Falls is slightly more than in Austin at around $13 to $14 on average (the average cost in our state capital is $12.94).  

Hopefully, that’ll put a smile on your face the next time you place an order at one of our many great local burger joints.
