     a sandwich and french fries
    Lisa J.

    Best. Chicken. In. Houston. And I stand by that 100%. Chicken wings are always crispy, flavorful and keeps you wanting more. Make sure to bring cash.

    As a Houstonian foodie, this place is complete trash! This was my first and last time spending money and time at this whole in the wall of a "restaurant". Initially, I the noticed a very disgusting dust-filled fan, which threw me off. After receiving my order of unseasoned chicken wings and an assortment of "shrimp fried rice" I was disappointed!! Please people, eat here if you want to be let down and disappointed - this place is trash

    It's been the same way for last 30 years. Happy they still consistent these many years later. Something about that triple crispy, lightly seasoned chicken wings that has it in business this long. Service is cool. It will take some time as they usually business but order is mostly always accurate. Will return for more soon.

    Service is whatever, but the food makes up for it. We ordered the 3 piece chicken and 1fish 3 shrimp meal which was ready pretty quickly! The only con to this place is that they only take cash. It's 2021, it's time to take credit cards/ Apple Pay.

    Simple and Sweet They are a mom and pop shop doing fried chicken really well! I didn't feel like waiting so I phoned my order in and got a 3 piece chicken dinner with fried rice and a fish burger. Everything was really good. All of this came in at about $9.50 which is quite affordable considering how much food you get. The fried chicken was moist and seasoned beautifully. The skin is quite crunchy and not too greasy. The fried rice is good but somewhat bland. I would recommend adding soy sauce or salt to it. The fish burger was also good but some additional tartar sauce would have been appreciated. This place is somewhat hood but it's alright. The staff are there to get you in and out so don't go expecting a huge welcome party with smiles on their faces. The place smells like fried chicken grease and you'll probably smell like it too after setting foot in there. Last tip is CASH ONLY, no card. Would come back!

    Crunchiest Fried Chicken in hot, plentiful servings, accompanied by fresh bread rolls. Fried trout was served with fried rice, salad and rolls. The main dishes were perfectly fried and still hot when we arrived at home. Recommend ordering in advance for pickup. Got to try the pork chops next time.

    I haven't been here in years, and this is what I get. What a disappointment!!!

    The spicy chicken is really good either hot or cold. The prices keep going up though, which is disappointing.

    Super popular burger spot in Houston - but is it worth the hype?…read more It is a build your own burger concept with fast service. Food comes out quickly and you are able to modify it however you want! There are coloring sheets for children and wifi. Lots of seating to eat (both indoor and outdoor). There is a soda fountain and water that is self serve. Definitely a place to hang out with friends/family and grab a quick bite to eat. loved the SWEET SOURDOUGH as the bun since it was slightly sweet and had a nice squishy like chew. The sourdough element really gives it that tug that I love in bread. the patties are thin, lacy, and smashed. Nicely salty and seasoned. for the sauce I would recommend the SCALLION AIOLI since it was warming and garlicy adding a really nice punch of flavor. the SWEET POTATO FRIES were a delicious side (crisp, piping hot, tasty). Overall I have not much to knock burgerchan on - besides their lack of lettuce wraps as an option haha but they do offer your burger on a bed of lettuce. they also have super fun unique milkshakes like vietnamese coffee, black sesame, etc (I'd try that next time). lots of sides and protein patty options in case you don't eat beef. they also have chicken, turkey, and falafel.

The staff, manager or owner, even takes time to stop by to tables to speak to the guests. We dropped by on Tuesday for dinner. I wish I saw the Icee machine before I ordered my fountain drink! I had the bacon cheeseburger with sweet potato fries and throughly enjoy the size of the burger. The fries were great, generous portion. My husband's chicken club sandwich with regular fries was also delicious! We got the order within 10 mins, didn't take too long. They have big patio seating, clean indoor seating, some arcades to keep the kiddos (or me) busy while waiting for the food. There are plenty of self-service condiments as well. Clean bathrooms, good amount of parking. This is one of my new favorite place for burgers!

They had a good menu, with options for anyone's dietary needs. This is a 100% family centric business. I had read about their story on the website. Highly recommend you take a look. They bring in elements of this into their restaurant with theit kids names throughout the joint. Parking was easy enough, and it looks like they labeled the parking barriers with names of the family's kids. I ran into some of the owners as I waited for my order. They were decorating the back patio, and they have the kids up on the walls too. I walked in to make an order, And left 15 minutes later with everything I needed. I ordered the Montecito, a very tasty chicken sandwich. The chicken was moist, and well flavored. I also upgraded the fries. My friends also liked their orders, a different chicken sammich and a vegetarian burrito.

Luckily our server was able to move us to the covered outdoor seating after a little while which was a little better. The covered patio has fans.

Getting seated was a little chaotic. Indoor seating was pretty limited and not managed well. We end up sitting on the patio (still pretty toasty around sunset time). The giant pretzel we ordered for appetizer was excellent, highlight of the meal. The sourdough pizzas were pretty thin, overall I'd give the pizzas a 3/5. Of the 4 pizzas we tried, my personal ranking: 1. Spicy Goat 2. Duck Duck Shroom 3. Heirloom Margherita 4. Sweet & Spicy Pepperoni. Service was also disorganized and a little slow. I'd come back if I'm craving that pretzel.
