50 Best Burger Restaurants in Houston

“I was told this is a Houston staple and no lies were told! I’m an old soul and this is a community joint! First, the oldies playing smoothly in the background just put me right at ease. Who don’t love Motown? The older gentleman who took my order was sweet as pie, and told me to come back 😂 (got a side eye from the man). But the burger. They don’t make them like this anymore! Patty amazingly, cheese gooey, crisp lettuce, mayo hit. Best part was all the folks coming and going. Testament to this place! Cheers to another 60 years! #HEH“

“Best birria in town!! Must try!! The birria and charro beans are the best!!!“

“Great staff, great food and great atmosphere...“

“I came here on the spur of the moment and I was about 30 miles away but I'd read about how good the burgers sounded and I decided to check it out, I didn't have anything on my plans that night. The burger was SO good and the people working in the restaurant were super friendly it really changed my opinions on people in Houston and the food! It was the best experience I could have asked for ever!“

“My husband and I tried The Burger Joint for the first time today and let me just say the food is absolutely incredible. The BOGO deals they have provide more than enough food. Will definitely be trying them again. Thank you.“

“Excellent customer service!!“

“Great burgers with a creative twist! Fantastic cocktails! Inexpensive!“

“What really makes Lankford’s special is the atmosphere. It’s got that old-school Houston character that you just don’t get at the polished, cookie-cutter restaurants that seem to be popping up everywhere. It feels authentic, comfortable, and like it’s been part of the neighborhood forever, which it almost has. There’s something special about walking into a place that has been serving Houstonians for generations and still feels like itself.“

“Simply exquisite! Been wanting to try Burger-Chan for a while and finally got my chance. Did NOT disappoint. Very obvious they use quality ingredients, the bun was fresh and the patty was full of flavor. The best REAL burger in Houston (possibly the US). My 7 year old smashed a double patty with bacon and French fries, tells a story.“

“Best burgers I've ever ate 🤤“

“Had my food delivered. Sophie helped me. I had to call after I placed my delivery order because there was not an option for extra pickles or ketchup for my fries. But I love Stanton‘s the Fong family has done so much for the neighborhood. I’m grateful that they’re there. Really juicy flavorful burgers. One of the good places to eat in First Ward.“

“This is one of the BEST restaurants I have eaten at. First, Cori our server is awesome! She is attentive, responsive, knowledgeable, and super friendly! The food is amazing! This was my 3rd time eating at this location and I will be returning. I gotta try more dishes off the menu. Kudos to the chef! Bow Wow!!!“

“The perfect burger and delicious fries. 100% delicate... 👍“

“7/4/2026 had dinner there tonight & the cook couldn't get the order correct, the manager finally went to the kitchen & made the burgers himself because he knows how I like them. Santi the manager went above & beyond to make it right. that was a blessing.“

“What a nice hidden gem! We sat on the beautiful patio.. So many amazing choices on the menu. Our Food was Delicious and our server was very friendly and patient with us! We had the Shrimp Egg rolls, avocado burger, quesadillas, Queso fries & a Smoothie! We definitely be back soon!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Our first experience with Bellagreen was scrumptious! We were visiting Houston and googled for gluten free vegetarian meals. Very thankful our search led us here. The atmosphere was relaxed and the aesthetics overall were spot on. I had the seasonal harvest salad and it was nothing but perfection! Everything was so fresh and made a beautifully colorful plate. My daughter tried a veggie burger for the very first time and she loved it! Keep up the good work Bellagreen. see you on our next trip!“

“👍 First time visiting because I was on this part of the city and saw an ad and realized the address was only 1.5 miles away so I had to go! It was worth it!

“Simple put Food was Damn Good.“

“most Differently great food fast service just love it“

“An austin institution. Started eating there in 1992. Great burgers, and they make and sell bulgogi burgers, my favorite burger of all time. Fries are ok. Onion rings are better shakes are thick. Branched out to open several outlets in houston ect around 2012 and this is one of the best of the houston contingent. Look for mama-san, everyone's fave counter granny.“

“Very friendly small business with American menu, high quality and generous portions. Made to order comes out hot and fresh. The burger had good seasoning, fresh produce, a good sized beef patty, and a toasted bun. Fries were crispy and every fry was seasoned with salt. They bring it to your table with a smile and make sure you have everything you need. Great service and solid food.“

“Their customer service is great. I’m handicapped and they brought it right to my table and talk about good. I wish you could get them at 100 stars. Thanks for everything.“

“Best burger and fries in Cypress. Try the candy bacon! Most excellent.“

“OMG! The nostalgia came flooding back when I brought my daughter in last night. Everything was amazing! The milkshakes taste the same as they did when I was a child growing up in Oak Forest.“

“best burgers 🍔 by far...👍💯“

“We went around 3 pm after a long hot day at the zoo. Free parking at the garage was easy and super close. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I chose this place on a whim because of the many menu options. Finding a place to eat with our 5 and 9 yr old can be challenging but the food was great and portions are very generous. I got the chicken fried steak w loaded mashed potatoes. Phenomenal. Everyone at our table was more than happy with our experience here and I’d highly recommend to everyone! Also they’re pet friendly and have vegan options.“

“Everything still taste the same I been going there for over 30 years and it’s still delicious!“

“It was our first time there, and the lady behind the counter was very helpful about the best items to get, and also what she recommended. Great food and HUGE portions! Gotta visit this place and come hungry.“

“Great staff and great food 10/10 will comeback next time in cibolo/ Schertz Tx !!“

“From the moment I spotted the aquarium I knew we were in for an exquisite expedition⛵️🛥️🚢🛳️⛴️⚓️ 🥂“

“We always have a great experience here. Peter is usually cooking and the burgers are always amazing — honestly some of the best in Houston. Stacy always greets us, takes care of our order, and everything comes out right. Tia is always friendly too. Great food, great people, and definitely one of our favorite burger spots.“

“GREAT BURGER!!!! highly recommend it.“

“The food and the service are a must experience. The burgers, Turkish coffee and Baklava are a 10/10. Clean establishment too!Owners are so nice! Give them a try I promise you will not regret.“

“The food is delicious and good prices“

“A group of 16 of us went for dinner. The staff was amazing in handling our group. Friendly smiles and healthy servings. The prices for the serving size is an unbeatable deal. The flavors are remarkable. As a native Texan and brisket fanatic I can honestly say some of the best in the state. Js is a true hidden gem.“

“Wow! Had the Korean Beef Bulgogi💣💪🥰 Im in love!“

“GREAT BURGER!!!! highly recommend it.“

“Excellent service from the drive thru team, and a great location, however the grilled chicken sandwich I got was very ordinary, not very exciting or notable at all. I suppose that’s partly on me for getting a chicken sandwich at a burger joint, but I think carrying the name Becks Prime means being exceptional at the full menu. If it’s mediocre just save us time and take it off the menu.“
