    Mushroom & Swiss Burger
    Yasser H.

    I came here for lunch recently, and liked the different variety of burgers that were offered. The mgr/owner told me that they had been around for a few decades. The interior was on smaller side but good memorabilia. There's outdoor seating also. I ordered a mushroom swiss burger. It was a nice size patty with mushroom and other fixings. The burger was juicy, tasty. I noticed that they had coke zero on the fountain machine, so I went ahead and added an order of fries and coke zero. Their French fries were pretty delicious too. Golden brown and a nice crisp to them. The jalapeño burger was very good also. The jalapeños were strong. I felt tingle along my lips. I plan on visiting them again very soon. Had a good Time.

    I came to this restaurant cause I heard from a few people I trust that it was good. It was not. My spouse and I visited this place on October 26, 2025. When we stopped by another couple was coming in for lunch as well. They were greeted and very warm and friendly when they came in. We did not receive the same warm welcome. The 1st couple placed their order and we seated immediately. I told the person taking my order 3 times Sweet potato fries, Sweet potato fries, Sweet potato fries, as my body has digestive issues with regular potatoes. After my order was completed they just vanished, didn't seat us down just basically 'sit wherever' The 1st couple food comes out fast quick and correct. Our food took nearly 30 minutes for a Mushroom Swiss burger, Kobe Burger, and REGULAR FRIES!!! I had already waited 30 minutes i wasn't going to waste more of my time requesting for a remake of my fry orde which I told the person 3 times previously. I came to this place with a coupon, now the restaurant keeps sending me unwanted solicitation, even after the fact that I unsubscribed from their Facebook page. Then I get a Facebook notification this morning of them trying to get me to come back! I wasn't going to leave a review of this place at first but when they went out of their way to continue to harass and advertise to me against my will, I knew that had to change. Oh encase you were wondering why I was bringing up the other couple, it was predominantly to show case hOw much better quality of service they received compared to us which was basically nonexistent. I will never come back to this place even if it was the last place on earth that had food. I rather stave to death than eat here AGAIN. Unless you are the same age demographic that the 1st couple was be prepared to receive absolutely no service whatsoever they were in their 60's plus. Avoid Cliff's Hamburger Grill anyway you can.

    I returned here for the first time in about 4 years recently. Cliff's is a popular neighborhood burger joint that has a small outside patio in front along with an attractively decorated Houston themed indoor dining room. There is a very large menu board that offers handhelds, loaded potatoes, some platter meals, side dishes and milkshakes. They don't serve breakfast anymore. I tried the famous fish sandwich ($12.95) and made it a combo meal ($5.95) for a total of $20 and change with tax. I wasn't impressed at all. The fish sandwich was uninspiring in both size and appearance and tasted as being cooked in old oil. Ditto on the fries. Guys, change out your grease! This meal was a 2 at best. I was going to write my review on just that visit but decided to give them one more chance returning about a month later. This time, I went with the hamburger ($11.25) and made it a combo for another $5.95. With tax the cost was just under $20. This meal was much better. The 8 oz. beef patty on the large dressed bun tasted good and satisfying. The fresh cut fries were golden brown and had a lot of potato flavor. It was a good tasting meal (4). There are two reasons I am giving a 3 overall score. The first meal was bad tasting using the old oil. The second reason is the unposted practice of adding 3.5% to all credit card payments. Posted prices on the menu board are already high but then adding 3.5% and not telling you about it is a sin in my opinion. I hate it when restaurants do this. So don't do it. Just charge one price for cash and credit. Even had you told me about the surcharge both times I still wouldn't like it. For that reason, I probably won't return.

    Such a a great burger spot. Cliff's is the definition of a traditional burger and you just can't beat it. The handcut fries are amazing as well. It's rare to find homemade fries like these! Not to mention everyone that works here is always so kind and helpful to get anything you need. I highly recommend you try this warm and welcoming neighborhood spot!

    Ahh the burger is phenomenal. The meat is thick and hearty. This a fresh filling selection. A really full-sized burger. The onion are superb. They are fried in this outstanding tasting original batter. If you don't want to be full then don't come here. You would have to be superhuman to finish this meal, so be prepared for leftover to go. The service is super friendly and thorough. They assure to get the order correct. Super nice guys. The ambiance reminds of New York mafia lunch time. But with burgers. The sounds are of ESPN (catered to the crowd) well lite and comfortable feel. The photos on the wall are throwbacks which add to the grand feel. This is a must stop!!! You will honestly not regret.

    I really love Cliff's hamburgers. They are always served fresh, piping hot and delicious! The topping are always perfect too. Service is great and the restaurant is clean. I'm not a fan of their fresh cut fries. I need to get a different item next time. There's a slight upcharge, but it would be worth it. They have a full menu, inlcuding fried okra, loaded baked potatoes, BBQ sandwiches, chicken fingers, salads and more! They don't mess around. Will be back to try more items.

    I never forget a burger. And I just know I've been here back in the early 1990's when I lived on Fountainview. I got the Murphy combo and the grease was just glistening off the fries. I could hear my arteries screaming. At the bottom of the basket I couldn't bring myself to eat the last few bites as the bottom of the basket was glistening. I like crunchy fries more. These were fresh but kinda like 5 guys style. The burger was good. I should've taken more pictures but I ate it too quickly which is a good sign I suppose. But guys you gotta update your prices. Murphy rang up $13.20 and combo $6.16 pretax whereas the menu prices were $12.75 and $5.95 for these ... not cool

    I read the Cliff notes

    If Cliffs is a bandwagon, you're more likely to find me jumping off Cliffs than jumping on the Cliffs bandwagon. But it's still well worth a try, for sure. I have nothing against this burger shop, and I thought they were pretty nice, pretty tasty, pretty good value. The girl working here was super sweet, attractive, flirtatious as well, but the chicken sandwich was one of the less impressive ones I've had from non-chains, and the burger was nothing to write home about (which is a shame as I was so excited), and I would definitely have to come back here and try some other items in order to give it that 5th star. There are a lot of people that swear by this place, so hopefully I'll figure out why. I was a little bit put off by the republicanism that exudes from some of the elements of Cliffs (as with other Texas spots obviously), they may not have realized what a purple state we live in (50 50 right down the middle), but having said that, if a place is really good then I don't care about the politics at all such as Angie's or Lankford Grocery. It'd score 2 if it was a chain, but since every family owned place is rated on a 3-to-5 scale or thereabouts, it's a right-in-the-middle 4 for me.

    At 5:30 pm on a Thursday night the wifey and I decided to go to long John silvers for some fish and…read morechips! After spending 30 minutes in traffic and being able to drive about 30 feet (thank you so much rush hour traffic) we saw a Jack in the box. After spending so much time in a traffic nightmare, i actually talked myself into thinking "maybe they gave fish and chips!" Fun fact-they do not, but the cashier was very friendly and even offered to unlock the restrooms if we needed to go! Talk about feeling safe. So I ordered the siracha burger munchies box, and it's no fish n chips it wasn't bad. They also have a Coca Cola freestyle machine, and let me tell you I had fun creating my own drinks. (Insider tip, try the vanilla sprite, you can thank me later) Top off all this fun with the fact that the dining room was entirely empty, it almost felt like they did this for us. It almost felt like a date night. Only thing that made it feel unromantic was the two homeless people who wandered in asking for a cup of water.

I tapped my card to pay for an order of egg rolls I bought 2 which came up to around $4 after I tapped to pay the cashier told me it didn't work so I paid cash he didn't give me a receipt when I got home I got a notification saying they charged me $20 I went into the location the next day and explained the situation the manager was so rude and dismissive and didn't even apologize and said it looks like I paid for someone else's order he even gave me the receipt which showed 2 breakfast meals which was not what I ordered and he most likely just pocketed the cash since there was no transaction for the cash I gave him for the egg rolls he refused to give me a refund and said he would reach out but never did ! Terrible service terrible experience.

He says there isn't another machine, when I know there is one in the dining area. Then I asked if he could just get me another sweet tea, he said no, it's a different price. I said I would pay the difference. In a very rude tone of voice he says "YOU HAVE TWO CHOICES, GET A REFUND OR GET ANOTHER SOFT DRINK"!!! I was in shock how he looked at me, and addressed me!

They have kids meals and a chicken sandwich, but most of the options are just chicken strips This location is clean, relatively modern, and the staff is friendly and efficient. The lines are often long, but like chick fila they often have an attendant out in the drive through to speed up orders, and because the menu is simple they're are able to churn out orders quickly The flavors are simple and tasty. I'm a huge fan of canes sauce. This is comfort food for me. And while I am a Laynes fan at heart, I still have a great time dining at Canes Some tips: If you get a box or plate or caniax combo you can substitute and if the sides for other sides. I often substitute the Cole slaw for extra toast or fries. I would recommend getting extra sauce (there is a cost). Also, if you get a meal a drink comes with it. If you don't want a drink you can get a water bottle or you can try to order a la art. Cheers!
