In a city saturated with gourmet burger joints and fast-casual chains, Edmond’s Burgers quietly holds its ground as a neighborhood staple. Tucked into a modest strip along West 15th Street in Plano, this unassuming eatery delivers a full-flavored punch with every burger it plates—without the pretense, the inflated price tag, or the Instagrammable gimmicks.
What Edmond’s lacks in decor it more than makes up for in execution. Here, the focus is squarely on the food. The menu is refreshingly straightforward yet filled with personality and range. Rather than mimic the backyard burger experience or the grease-heavy diner classic, Edmond’s charts its own path, offering hand-crafted burgers that marry quality ingredients with approachable pricing.
Among Edmond’s offerings, the Jaden stands out as a signature masterpiece. This towering creation layers beef bacon, Swiss cheese, a perfectly fried egg, and grilled onions—all sandwiched between slices of buttery Texas toast. It’s a savory, textural symphony that doesn’t shy away from indulgence, but never feels excessive. Diners can customize the Jaden with a single or double patty; the former clocks in around $10 for a combo meal, a price point that feels almost nostalgic in today’s burger economy.
Each component of the Jaden is thoughtfully chosen. The Texas toast delivers a satisfying crunch with every bite while holding up well against the juiciness of the beef and the creaminess of the egg. The beef bacon provides a smoky, slightly crisp counterpoint, elevating the umami profile without overpowering the balance. Grilled onions lend sweetness and depth, while the Swiss cheese melts seamlessly into the mix, adding just the right hint of nuttiness.
Though burgers steal the spotlight, Edmond’s surprises with an array of standout sandwiches. Chief among them is the short rib sandwich—a slow-cooked, savory offering crowned with caramelized onions and melted provolone. The short rib is tender and deeply flavored, falling apart at the touch of a fork, while the onions and cheese melt into a rich, cohesive bite. It’s a dish that showcases Edmond’s commitment to slow-cooked care, even in a fast-paced lunch environment.
Edmond’s may not attract the attention of Dallas’s trend-chasing food crowd, but for those in Plano—or anyone willing to venture slightly off the beaten path—it’s a rewarding discovery. In a landscape where so many burger joints aim for style over substance, Edmond’s dares to keep it simple, affordable, and genuinely satisfying.
There are no artisanal aiolis, no truffle oil drizzles, and no $18 price tags. Just well-made food, generous portions, and the kind of neighborhood vibe that feels increasingly rare.
In the end, Edmond’s Burgers isn’t trying to reinvent the burger. It’s just doing it right.
