    Truffle fries
    Linda N.

    What a wonderful surprise of a place! We were in the area running errands and needed to grab a quick bite. I had the truffle burger, husband had the Texan burger and they actually cooked them medium rare like we requested. So deliciously juicy. Also excellent truffle fries. Well definitely be back for more.

    I was excited to try this place and was in the mood for a burger. Burger- I ordered a burger with avocado (lettuce wrapped) , fries, and a drink. The burger was good and fresh. The burger flavor reminds me of shake shack. Kids Meal- The kid's burger was very small. It was the size of a slider. They did give my kid a lot of fries, but the burger was tiny. The drink size was a regular soda and not those small kids cup, which was nice. Fries- The fries were served in a small bowl and it was $4.50 . It was a small amount for the price. They were thin cut fries , which weren't bad. Service- I wish the lady taking our order was a bit better. The worker (older lady) seemed annoyed to take my order. It was my first time there and no one else was in line, but made a face when I didn't order right away. She didn't smile and genuinely seemed annoyed the entire time. The burger was good, but probably will not return. It seems like a different place from the previous reviews.

    We have driven by this place a time or two and wondered.... Time to find out! Busy day so dinner was to go.... Excellent burger! Trying to lower carbs so I had mine lettuce wrapped- delicious! And I know it in un-American to say so, but I generally do not like French fries. But these were very good! Good place.

    I love mushroom Swiss burger, and I would drive far to eat one. BuffBurger has a simple menu. I got the mushroom Swiss burger with truffle hand cut fries, and no burger meal is complete without root beer float. My food was served to my table pretty quickly. I asked for medium rare meat but I got medium. However, I loved the sauces on the burger and the patty was delicious. The burger buns were so good! The fries were limp instead of crispy. However, I loved the truffle and cheese on them, which made the fries flavorful. I wasn't liking my root beer float that much as it was missing the intense root beer taste. The vanilla ice cream in the float wasn't adding much to the flavor too. Customers order at the counter, but the food will be served to your table. The restaurant has a carefree and casual vibe. There are plenty of seatings in the restaurant. Parking is also easily available.

    Texan Burger and Double Buff Smash

    Pretty good burgers overall... I tried the double patty smash burger and the texan, both were good, I'd say the smash burger was better. Good amount of seating inside and outside, and the staff were very nice! Took a star off because the fries were just bad. Both normal and truffle, just bad.

    Super good smash burger, especially with the truffle aioli sauce. The chicken sandwich was amazing along with the tater tots. Favorite meal after a long day. If I could give it 6-7 stars, I would.

    Buff Burger: Where Tastebuds Go to Retire in Happiness I walked into Buff Burger in Houston expecting a good burger. What I got was a life-changing, taste-bud-transforming, soul-lifting experience. The smash burger? Absolute perfection. The crispy, caramelized edges whispered sweet nothings to my soul. The juicy center hugged my mouth like it knew I'd had a rough day. Every bite was like a rom-com montage where I fall in love all over again--with beef. The bun? Pillowy like it had been personally fluffed by angels. The cheese? Melted in a way that would make even the sun jealous. And that first crunch of lettuce and onion? I swear I heard a choir of cows moo in approval. I didn't just eat a burger at Buff Burger--I had a spiritual awakening. If happiness could be smashed and seared on a griddle, this is it. Would I go back? Only if you want to see a grown adult shed a single tear of joy over a burger again. 11/10. Someone give this burger a Michelin star and a hug.

    Double Buff Smash with Hand-Cut Fries

    Very good burgers. Speedy service. Chill atmosphere. What more could you want?? They even have local Texan hot sauces. 11/10 will be back. The best fast food burger we have had in Houston so far!

    A great burger spot coming from someone who doesn't eat lots of burgers so take that how you'd like…read more When you walk in you take a clipboard to customize your selection (beef burger, turkey burger, fish, etc.) and then take that to the register to pay. I had opted for a beef burger with a side of chili cheese tater tots to share. The burger is quite large and filled generously with whatever add-ins you check off so it was very filling for me. I went with two 2oz patties, but considering the size, I'd opt for a single 2 oz patty if I go back. For my burger I also added scallion aioli which didn't have a strong green onion flavor but was still nice and added creaminess to the burger overall. The tater tots were super crispy, and the chili cheese topping was nice. I had gone shortly after they opened and it wasn't super busy but it started to quickly fill up around 11:30-12. Decent amount of tables and good parking situation outside

    I was extremely excited to give this place a shot and, after failing to try it about a month ago…read moredue to them being out of falafel patties, I finally got to try it this past weekend and honestly I was very much underwhelmed (I even called before going to make sure they hadn't run out of falafel patties this time). To start off with a positive, I thought the falafel patty had a really great taste and was absolutely the highlight of the burger. But outside of that the burger and the toppings I ordered just didn't work as well as I would've liked. I ordered my burger with mushrooms and sauteed onions, both toppings I know I absolutely love from making burgers at home and from other spots, but neither added much. At first I was worried that the falafel was overpowering them both but upon eating them by themselves they just lacked taste. We also got the scallion aioli on the burger and I never got a hint of it at any point. All in all, the burger was very much mediocre outside of the patty. We also got fries with the burger and while they absolutely had some potential they were extremely over seasoned. Any appreciation for the seasonings in a vacuum was immediately overshadowed by how salty they were. We also ordered the Sambal Mayo as a dipping sauce and while it did help subdue the insane salt level and overall tasted quite good, upon writing this review I found out by looking at their online menu that it contained some amount of shrimp. This information is nowhere to be seen on the ordering slip and wasn't mentioned when I handed it over to the person working at the cash register. And while I definitely accept some level of responsibility for not doing my due diligence and asking or letting them know of my dietary restrictions, it's still an extremely frustrating thing to have happen as both a vegetarian and someone with a mild shellfish allergy. If for whatever reason the online menu is out of date or I missed an obvious indication of it containing shrimp somewhere I am more than happy to edit my review.

    I rarely get the chance (or give myself permission) to indulge in a proper smash burger, so when I…read moresaw people casually walking around POST Houston with this thing in hand, curiosity got the best of me. I went with the Double Good Burger at Johnny Good Burger, and honestly... it was surprisingly good. Perfectly smashed patties with those crispy edges, juicy inside, and well-balanced flavors that didn't feel overcomplicated. Sometimes simple just works--and this definitely did. The fries deserve their own shoutout: extra crispy, hot, and downright addictive. No soggy sadness here. I kept telling myself "just one more" until the tray was mysteriously empty. All in all, a very satisfying burger experience. If you're in the mood for a legit smash burger and happen to be wandering POST Houston, this one's absolutely worth stopping for.

There were no other customers at the time, but that's to be expected for a slow Monday. The menu is quite simple with just 4 different entrees, 3 different ways to order fries, and a few soft drink options in a cold case. Everything here is a la carte but there is a combo option where you can save about $3 off the regular menu pricing. I chose the "Double Good" and added a patty for $3 more figuring the patties are most likely very thin. The burger comes with lettuce, onion tomato, pickles and special sauce. I subbed the American for Swiss, but the Swiss ended up being a Swiss-American blend, so it tasted mostly like American cheese which I hate. I keep having bad luck with Swiss lately. The patty is about 1/4 lb and tastes similar to a home cooked burger. I ended up setting the burger down and just eating the patty with a fork since I didn't like the taste of the cheese, sauce, or the entire burger as a whole after a handful of bites. Overall, I'm glad I finally tried it but this is not a burger I would come back for, especially at this price point.

Clutch City Grill sits next to Burger Chan (the most recent title holder of best burger for my son) but this Sunday, they were not open so we tried the one we didn't try last time--CCG. And let me just say that this place tucked away inside a collective indoor food concession aka The Conservatory Galleria, has every right to boldly don the clutch city burger title. Inside this perfectly grilled almost Hawaiian role type hint of sweet homemade bun is a masterclass of burger perfection, made right in front of you and to your liking based on your selections from the order tap screens. While, waiting, I looked at everything I didn't order as it was being served and I'm almost certain that anything you order at CCG is delicious. Presentation is superb because others were sitting with large selections in front of them that caused me a bit of buyers remorse--I couldn't decide. The vibe is chill enough to talk to the grill master while my son was figuring out his massive burger order--he randomly had a hash brown added to a patty melt. And ordered something to take home or in case one order wasn't enough for the teen appetite. But the food is massive. I cannot stress that enough. Portions of everything there are beyond generous from what we saw and this is the kind of place where there's delivery guys picking up, people working on their laptops and the average joe grabbing takeout after work as well as families having dinner but not crowded. We sat and reflected on a great shopping day in a chill environment and reminisced on the old days of Galleria area last minute back to school night before/we should do this more type of memories in the making. The take something to go plus my own leftover (cutting the burger in half is an open from the order touch screen) and it passed the ultimate test of being really good cold the next day. This place begs the question--where is everybody? I can't be the only one who knows about it. But also was inviting enough to silently confirm that I think we've found our place. One that even has a cool bathroom with a mirror that says "you look amazing." Exactly how you're going to feel about the food that looks even better than it does in its promo photos
