Always great eating here! Little hole in the wall burger joint off NASA Parkway. If you're looking for great burgers for fair prices here's your place! No frills, all good eats! And if talking to people isn't you thing they have iPad kiosks that make ordering even easier. I got a customized burger and my partner grabbed their famous PB&J burger. If there's one burger to try, it's definitely that one. They also have a variety of menu items, not pictured but the friend we ate with got an order of the buffalo wings that were pretty solid for a burger place. I'm confident recommending this spot for anyone wanting a good ol burger!

Birria burger amazing.
Romero L.

I decided to try Burger Nation out because I heard they offer a birria burger.I was completely blown away with the burger I tasted the birria inside the patty right away. I plan on going back to try the other burgers.They have a flaming cheeto burger which is the next burger to try.

The concept is good and some of the combinations unique but the burgers appeared undercooked without a sear and were just grey. Service was friendly and the management chatted up the diners. A little more attention to the burger themselves would have warranted more stars.

LOTS of Tater Tots

Burger Nation 24Nov24, 4:30pm The bells & whistles of most every joint now bows to gastropub-itis with its menu. Burger Nation follows that theme to keep up with the Joneses. Just make sure it's not Jerry Jones. Check out their menu online to see what I mean. My failure to follow my own advice turned into a 10-minute process on the huge computer screen menu at the register. Thank goodness there was no line since I missed the lunch crowd. This place should have a line! The are THAT good! I picked the All- American Burger with a Soft toasted Martin's Potato Bun -- DELICIOUS!! Patty was so good with, for me, the right blend of seasoning. Put that together with being fried on big, filled with flavor flat grill-- bro, please-- scrumptious!! Let's try Scrumpcholus! Yeah, it's not a word but it is now! Every bite was pure YUM! Now, you know what my new word means! Most joints skimp on Tater Tots but not here (check pix)! I got the Salted Tots rather than the Cajun ones. Not into spicy stuff. I want to savor the flavor of my food rather than be beat by the heat. We endure TX summers. No need to endure it with our food. But you do you. Man, there's something here for every taste. Like Arnold said, "I'll be bock" for this Scrumpcholus !!! PS -- place could be neater as pix indicate. Could also use some flatscreen TVs for games. Just sayin'. Happy Thxgvg from The Brown Sugar Daddy!!!

Cajun tots, and a veggie burger with American cheese! (They write cute messages on all of the cups! )
Evelyn B.

Service is quick with the option to order with the cashier or two self-service order screens! The cooks are friendly and efficient! I've been here twice now because the food and ambiance is so good!! I don't eat meat so exploring the veggie burger world can be...interesting LOL but this veggie burger is without a doubt one of the best I've ever had! And for the affordable prices, I can't imagine not coming here now!! I adore you, Burger Nation!!

So glad I thought to hit up Burger Nation with the family on the way out of town! I've had them bookmarked for sometime now so I was excited for this stop! The burgers here live up to the hype! They have a computer self serve ordering system that was pretty easy to figure out, but if you need help the staff provides a great explanation on how to use it and is more than willing to help. I ordered the Stuffy and my husband got the Bacon Swissroom. I enjoyed every bit of my burger and it was cooked perfectly. Its was a nice thick patty - no thin smashed patty here. I tasted the husband's and loved the grilled onions on his! The fries with the special Cajun seasoning were delicious and I hated that I couldn't eat them all! My kid ordered the chicken tenders and she ate them all so I'd say she was a fan too. If you are looking for an awesome burger that isn't your typical fast food drive thru then this place is the spot. It's still a casual place but slightly elevated I'd say and it won't break the bank! If I lived in there area I could see myself being a regular here.

Best burger ever! With Nutella and Strawberry Jam
Courtney M.

Excitedly about the new one in Pearland, but prior to, I frequented the NASA location. The staff is extremely polite and helpful. They have a decent assortment of burger options and they helped me narrow it down. They have the best buns!

The Manager's Special $7 lunch-only meal: burger and fries. The combo was delicious, and their fries are THICK.
Ciara G.

Behind the chocolate milkshake and the soda is their infamous fried Oreo cookies. Do not leave the place without ordering it. I loved loved loved the cashier Desere having the courage to make me smile with a funny phrase in sign language she learned on TikTok. I'm deaf, so it was a breath of freshness of the day. I gave the place four stars because of the fries. They were too thick for me. But for good services when you're sad, it's worth a visit.

PB&J milkshake

Everything is great with this place I come about every 2 weeks or so..I just am surprised with the shake I got handed for the amount I paid.. I love this place don't get me wrong but it's rare I order the milkshakes! (: everything else is awesome, cooks are great!

We were not impressed with the serving size for the price. It was not all that good either for the price.

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.

The location itself was super cute--very Southern charm tucked into the middle of such an urban city. Our waitress handled all seven of us like a pro, kept everything moving, and somehow found that perfect balance of being attentive without constantly hovering. P.S. half of my coworkers ordered their craft burgers and the other half went with their pizzas--pretty solid choice. Crust was sourdough and the toppings were varied. The tops were DUCK AND BALSAMIC, SAUSAGE AND BURRATA, PEAR AND BLEU

First, the parking lot entrance is blink and you'll miss it, tucked narrowly between the carwash and the cafe on Washington, but parking is surprisingly ample.

The burger was nicely seasoned and perfectly cooked, the vegetables were fresh and crisp, the burger sauce was really nice without being cloying or overpowering, and the bun was nice and soft. The fries were those nice, thick, crispy on the outside soft on the inside diner style seasoned fries. The pastry offerings, which I was told the wife bakes herself, look excellent as well, as do all of the coffee drinks. I'm very excited to come back and try their cafe offerings.

There is plenty to do here. You can enjoy a cold one , you can lounge around in comfortable chairs, or you can play a game -- your choice.
