Chapps currently maintains 7 locations, all in the Fort Worth area.

We feel that Chapps has the perfect recipe for burgers. Excellent
seasoning, on the salty side, with plenty of fresh ingredients as
toppings (which you can choose from). I tend to break from the norm, and ask for raw onions over
grilled, but otherwise I stick to the usual cheese, lettuce, pickles, and mustard. The fresh baked buns are also quite good. A
single cheeseburger is more than enough, and I don't even think they
offer a double (believe me, that would be way too much). They have a smaller burger
called a Baby Chapps, and naturally Mrs. RJG goes for that, plus the
Baby Chapps comes with fries as part of the price (otherwise it's extra). I usually eschew
fries in general, and eat a handful from the spouse's plate - and they are hand cut, fried to perfection, and very tasty. They also
have very good hot dogs and chicken sandwiches that we've tried in the past. They keep the menu simple, always a plus as far as we're concerned.
The restaurant itself is a throwback to the 1960s diners, with vinyl booths and checkered floors, and is quite pleasant. It's quick service, so order up, grab a drink, take a seat, and they'll bring it out usually in about 5 minutes. You can hear them grilling your burgers!
Chapps first opened in downtown Arlington in 1984 (back when the RJG was still a college lad!). They currently operate 7 locations, mostly in Tarrant County.

I love Chapp's. I have been to the one in Bedford several times and the one on 360 a few times.
I just saw that we got one over in NRH, finally. I can't wait to visit it.
Those cajun fries are amazing.
Ah cool! Didn't realize they had one in NRH. Thanks for the comment.
Darn you!
I *had* to go there last night after reading your blog.
Man, it was greatness, though. It's in the Hometown area off of 26, right next to Rise and Dine and across the parking lot from Firehouse Subs (which, BTW, is pretty good)
Keep up the good work.
LOL - glad I could assist :-)
I haven't tried Firehouse Subs. I've seen them around in various cities in the Southeast. I didn't realize they were in NE Tarrant either... So I'll check them out!
