Amazing burger restaurant located in the University Park part of Dallas! Came here growing up after basketball games as a kid and haven't stopped since. From the burgers to the fries to the shakes, everything here has a unique taste that you won't find at other burger joints. They're definitely known for their seasoning salt, which I still buy separately to take home with me to this day. They also have a great chicken sandwich for people looking for something else than just a burger. One thing I will say is parking is limited and a bit crowded sometimes. Overall though, I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone in the Dallas area! read more

Neat little local burger joint! We called ahead and ordered 2 cheeseburgers, chili cheese fries and a regular fry. The fries were the best! The chili cheese fries were pretty standard and good but I would have loved some really good ranch with them. We ordered a side of ranch and all they had was Kraft ranch packets, which was just okay. The regular fries had their special seasoning on them. I wish all fries came with this seasoning! Our cheeseburgers were good, but not great. Even though they were 'all the way', they were pretty dry and the buns were a little dry as well. If I could order again, I would ask for more toppings and ketchup or mustard on the side to add to the burger or maybe a chili cheese burger. If I was in the area again, I'd be back for their fries and a milkshake! read more

Burger House - Chili Cheese Fries - Burgers Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Burger House feels like a great, local burger joint! Love going by for a good burger and shake.

Really solid burger, one that I probably couldn't resist getting whenever I was in the area. They put their house seasoning on it which was really good but a tad on the salt side. If you don't like a lot of salt then you should tell them light on the seasoning. read more

When I worked at Southwestern Bell in this area we would eat here. There was a Grey haired gentleman that always waited on us. That was in the 80s and 90s. I wonder where he is now I'm sure he's retired. The burgers and fries are good and similar to Jake's. I live in Arlington and I must admit that I really enjoy Kincaid's in Fort Worth and Arlington. read more

Visited Jack's Burger House off of Hillcrest last night for national cheeseburger day. This place has been on my list of must-try restaurants for a while, because I'm a sucker for a restaurant with a neon sign. Damn. Burger House DID NOT disappoint. The no-frills establishment is serving up some delicious burgers and tasty sides. I had their double cheeseburger with all the fixin's and a side of famous fries. The cheeseburger had a perfect bun to beef ratio and just enough fixin's. Their fries are to DIE for with the amazing seasoning they put on them (there's even extra that you can put on if you'd like). It is a place that feels like home. In fact, I think my friends and I were the only first-timers there. Everyone else seemed to know the employees and know where to find things--like an old fashioned neighborhood joint. I definitely recommend Burger House for the great eats and nostalgic atmosphere. I know I'll be back! read more

Everyone I know adores Burger House. Maybe it's sentimental, maybe it's how you're supposed to feel but I find the experience just OK. The lines are long, the order takers aren't friendly, there's no waiting area," and the food isn't just OK. I'll go over to Keller's anyday before heading to Burger House. read more

Burger House - Chili Cheeseburger and fries - Burgers Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I tried this place yesterday and it was good! I definitely will be coming back here to try more of their menu. The fries were my favorite.

To the owner: Sorry my response is late but please don't discount it.. why did I choose to write a negative review when I've been coming for a few months without writing a positive review? Simply put, when my co workers told me they were getting sick from the salad a month prior to my order the first question I asked was "why hasn't anyone said anything?" I think my answer is obvious at this point, I felt compelled to sound the alarm. One other thing. If you want to earn my 5 star review, deliver good food time and time again. Only then will you acquire my good hearted review. I don't simply hand out 5 star ratings for my "one or two good meals". Its about a standard you set for yourself and continue to deliver. Don't take criticism to heart, learn from it. Good luck. read more

Good old fashioned hole-in-the-wall burger place with well seasoned, beefy burgers and delicious old fashioned malts.

The Original and the best! Not only is everything delicious but the service is amazing, friendly, efficient and genuine. Time and time again the food is consistent, hot and fresh (I'm partial to the cheeseburgers, fries and chocolate malts). I hope they never stop serving the best burgers in town! read more

Burger House - Burgers Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Wow.. how have I not been here in all my time in Dallas!? This place was too good to not try!! Although there was a 25 minute wait (and now I understand why), the wait was well worth it! We had a cheeseburger (grilled onions, everything on it), chili cheeseburger (mustard only) , and famous fries. The burgers were just the right amount of greasy, the bread was the perfect texture of not too soft, and the veggies tasted so so fresh. I loved that I could ask to get the onions grilled, would totally recommend! The chili cheeseburger was your classic, messy, greasy bundle of delicious. If you're a chili lover, it's a must. The famous fries had a very flavorful seasoning on them (which you could actually buy along with T-shirt's). Lastly, I really liked that the entire kitchen was open concept and I could see the employees cooking and putting everything together. Businesses really add trust within their customers with this kind of transparency. The employees were very very hardworking and kind! I cannot wait to come back here :) thank you, Burger House!! read more

Been going here since 1972 when a fellow freshman at SMU introduced me to Jack. The quality hasn't wavered over the last 48 years. I consider it the best overall burger in Dallas ... and it's been awarded that many times. The fries are also spectacular. The Hillcrest location has a special place in my heart as Jack was still working there when I took my oldest son there for his first time. He's even taken his daughter there and now she's a fan. The people are great and you get a real special feeling when you get the feel of the ordering lingo! . This is one of those places that when you finish your meal and you lean back feeling stuffed ..... you feel like you still want more. It's that good. read more

If Spider-Man was a burger place it would be here.. idk but that just makes sense to me. Gimmie a chili glizz and a cherry coke and gtfo of my way, I'm definitely hungover 95% of the time I'm in here read more

So I drove a nice distance to try this spot. actuality made it there a hour before openig. So I waited for a 30 minutes respectfully. But I seen a customer walk in which show the doors were open. So I waited to see if the customer would be service which the lady was. I proceeded to walk into the establishment as she was swiping her card. Now I'm looking at the menu yo see what I wanted. Then one of the workers proceeds to tell me the establishment is not open while service one customer! It confused me but I walked out and will never return!! Hate to make it about race but they served the nice white lady and shoo away the brown man.‍‍‍ Bad way to start a relationship. If it is closed for one it should be closed for all no exception! Hope y'all do better in the future with other customer! read more

Burger House is an institution for a reason, it's simple but absolutely delicious! When I moved away from Dallas it was one of the places I knew I would miss most, I always make sure to try to visit when I am in town! I love that their burgers have thin patties and their fries are literal heaven and some of my favorite on earth! You can't forget their famous seasoned salt which I make sure stock up on to use at home. So good! read more

Burger House - Half of a single cheeseburger with grilled onions (couldn't wait to eat before I snapped a pic) and almost eaten basket of amazing fries! - Burgers Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Classic all-American burger stand. Double cheeseburger, the old fashioned way with mustard, pickles, onions, is perfect balance of meat, cheese, and spice. The sesame seed bun is a nice final touch to finish off a delicious treat. Excellent. Highly recommended. read more

Saltiest food I've ever eaten. Couldn't even taste the burger, just tasted salt. The tots just had clumps of the seasoning. Which i like my food well seasoned but they weren't mixed right read more

Really good burger made the same way every time! Their burgers are not going to blow you away, but you will never leave disappointed. From the burgers, fries with special seasoned salt and the milk shakes, they are all a hit! The building has a ton of character with customers who seem to have come in there their entire lives. Only negative is you need to eat your food there. The fries especially do not hold up after awhile so you need to eat them fresh. Other than that, this is my spot for a burger when I'm in Highland Park/Dallas! read more

Have Loved Burger House Hillcrest for years. I remember it's founder well. It's always been a great stop for burgers and fries. I'm happy it's survived all these years and wish it many read more

I saw this on TV as a great burger place. This food is terrible, unless you love salt. They put a season salt on everything that overwhelming saltiness drove me crazy. Stopped eating burger after half couldn't take anymore. Fries were awful without something to cut the salt. Even messed up perfectly good onion rings. Chocolate malt was very good but if you want meal I would make sure to make sure to ask for season salt on side. Ruins everything. read more

Ordered some salt online. A month later, no salt. Sent email, no response. Opened disputes with Pay Pal. No response. Called the store. "Owner is unavailable, he will call you back." No call. If you can't handle shipping a little bottle of salt you shouldn't be selling. Horrible. **Update** I was refunded my money after hounding them for several weeks. Hey, Burger House, you missed the opportunity to really wow me with your customer service by sending me a jar of salt anyway free of charge as an apology. You would've gained a customer for life and I would have sang your praises. I probably would have reordered many times. Well, too bad about that. read more

Literally writing this while I still have a salt taste still in my mouth. So got my son just a hamburger and I got the chili cheeseburger. Son finished his cause he was hungry I couldn't cause it was just too dang salty. I like salt but even that was just too salty. Guess they're living off the nostalgia because that was the worst burger I've ever had. Definitely will not be back. That was pitiful. read more

Best no-frills burger place in Dallas. There isn't a ton of seating, so be prepared to take your food elsewhere, but for the price it's totally worth it. read more

I think Burger House is just OK. When I moved here in 7th grade, all the other 7th graders loved this place so much they would WALK from the middle school. I had such high hopes as a 12-year old vegetarian that I might find some tasty treat for me at the famous Burger House. Pros: 1. The milkshakes are ok 2. The fries are ok 3. There is outside seating available Cons: 1. I don't like their buns. They don't taste very fresh 2. It's cash only and the ATM on site charges a fee 3. There are posters of perfect Highland Park children all over the walls 4. There's often a line out the door of little 7th graders/ high schools DBs Bottom Line: There's nothing really special about Burger House! read more

Ordered delivery: Chili cheese dog, onion rings and chicken strips were all delicious. Chili dog was def my fave. I'm not a huge salt fan. Onion rings and fries were a little salty but was able to dust them off to my liking. Wish DoorDash offered sauce options for chicken tenders! Will def order again :) read more

Come here! This is one of the best burger places in my opinion. I've been going here for a few years, and it has always been great! I do with there was better seating, but otherwise it's good. Their classic cheeseburger is great! The meat is perfectly cooked, and the bun is good. Their fries are my favorite in my opinion. They are usually perfectly cooked, and the seasoning on them makes it great! Their tater tots are also great. My favorite shake there is the Oreo shake! It is just outstanding. The workers and chefs there are so kind and they have good stories. The prices are also good. Please come here! read more

Glad to say we finally gave this a try, but I was disappointed overall in the experience. Patties were very, very thin and lacking in flavor. For the price, I really expected more. Fries had a good taste with the seasoning salt but I wasn't overly impressed there either. Probably great for a little neighborhood burger joint if you live in the area and don't mind paying a little more, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come back with the multitude of other burger options out there. Service was quick and friendly! Update: Thank you to Chris for the response! I should have included that we ordered to-go, so I didn't have an opportunity to share my feedback about the burger during our visit. Thanks for caring about your customers and their satisfaction, as well as for responding to feedback! read more

First I'd like to mention that it doesn't actually have "Jack's" on the sign. If I hadn't looked at the photo of the place on their website, I probably would have driven by. Also, the listing does say "accepts credit cards: no" but in this day an age, that is so rare, I should I should emphasize that it's cash only. They do have a pseudo-ATM there priced at $1.50 with an order or food. With that out of the way, I have to say it's a nice place. Like those small-town institutions that are known and loved by locals, complete with many years worth newspaper and magazine clippings about it on the walls. It's tiny, literally 3-4 picnic tables inside and window service. There is counter inside that maybe two can sit at. It was dark outside, but I could see there were tables outside for nice weather times of the year. The burgers are 1/4lb so I got a double cheeseburger. Next time I'll ask for no or grilled onions as the white onions stood out a little more than I personally like on a burger. But other than that it was all good. I got their onion rings and my friend got fries with cheese, both were well received. Most fry seasonings at restaurants these days are a cayenne pepper mix or something I don't care for myself, but the one here was a yummy coarse salt and garlic mix. Some kids there with their dad got chicken fingers which looked good, but obviously I didn't get a taste! I would definitely go back. Apparently I need to try their shakes, and need to try their fries with the seasoning alone. read more

Burger House - Burgers Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I have Burger House on my speed dial and I don't even live in Dallas. Every time I come to town I call on my way from the airport for cheeseburgers and fries because I can't get along without them. This is a southern-style burger in which the condiments are more important that the meat--onions, lettuce, pickles and thin sliced tomatoes are already wilting from the heat in the grill area and they melt their flavors together on the way home into the mustard on the broad squishy bun for a taste that is just sublime. Jack, the founder, was Greek and you can taste the Greek influence in the cumin-spiced seasoning salt which is also for sale in the restaurant; buy a jar to take with you in case you want more like I do. (It's also good on all kinds of vegetables.) The menu has expanded in recent years to include various shakes, hot dogs, onion rings and so on but the burgers and fries are the main attraction; get a sack of those and you can't go wrong. read more

Star for the fries and vegs on the burger... Patty was ugh...I am not use to a hamburger patty being thinner than my cell phone. I guess the order taker's look when I asked for mine to be cooked medium should have tipped me off. I'm totally use to having a nice meaty, juicy burger. This did NOT live up to any of that. I would have totally given them props if I could have even tasted meat. i even pinched off just the meat and ate alone and was disappointing. I was puzzled as they advertise around since 1954ish...what? how? Is this a diet burger? What am I missing? Maybe i should have ordered the triple?! read more

W burger house frfr. Burgers bussin bussin. W ritz fo' sho'. Go here if u got W RIZZ.

Stopped in on a whim because I liked the old-school neon sign outside this cool, one-of-a kind Texas burger house. There are probably thousands of these burger joints around the country, in every city, in every town - locally owned and serving up burgers the same way for decades. I tried the basic three dollar Texas cheeseburger decked out with their standard fixins - lettuce, tomato, onion, pickels and mustard - nothing too special here. The 300 square feet of the funky interior of this shoe box is what I really loved about this place complete with a few pictures of locals on the walls. Jack's...a great place to spend 20 minutes to soak in some of the local color. read more

Burger House - Burgers Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Haven't been here for almost 20 years and now I remember why. The burger was cold, soggy and tasted spoiled. Couldn't eat but one bite. The onion rings were way over salted, soggy and cold. Threw out the entire order as inedible. Would never eat here again or recommend. Disgusting. read more

An SMU and Dallas staple, Jack's Burger House is like falling into a cozy, delicious time warp (the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars because eating there feels, uh, historic...I think George Washington chomped on some fries at these tables ). Minus the "decor, please don't change! There is no reason to change the Vanilla Coke, Zoe's Chicken, Fries covered in BH seasoning salt, Sissy burger, ORs, etc. because these things are p-e-r-f-e-c-t-i-o-n. Burger House is home. read more
