It was 1991 when the Qattom family decided to expand their convenient store and gas operation outside of Harris County and move to Wharton County, more specific the city of Wharton. Coming from a big town environment to a small community was different for the Qattom's and the business environment they were use to. Knowing something had to change to make this business successful, they decided to add food. Qattom's first job in making hamburgers was terrific. It wasn't long before they put in a big grill, country style. Wanting to do something different, instead of using 4 to 5 oz and that the most 8 oz frozen patties, the Qattom's decided to use a 9 oz patty, which was hand made fresh daily. In addition, instead of using just salt and pepper, they came up with their own seasoning. Within a few weeks from the time they served their first 9 oz grilled hamburger, customers were ordering them by the dozen. So many at a time that the orders were going out in empty b**r boxes just to hold all of the burgers. In 2000, the Qattom's opened their second store near Greatwood, in Richmond, Texas. Named after the now famous 9 oz Hamburger. It wasn't long after the Qattom's added stores in Katy, Texas, Richmond, Texas (Pecan Grove) and Houston, Texas (Blackhawk and Beltway & South) and a few more to be completed in the years to come. In addition, the menu has been expanded to include much more than the famous 9 oz Hamburger. Please view our site to see the complete menu.
