    Pistachio cake
    Brett N.

    Why 4 stars? Because the smashburger was tasty but almost too hearty. --- --- --- Visiting family on this side of town and as is customary, my top priority was to figure out where we were gonna eat. I chose Durb's based on the great reviews and the fact that my brother had always wanted to visit. My wife and I both ordered smash burgers - she opted for tots, I went with mozzarella sticks. The sides were both perfectly standard, but the burgers were anything but. The difference between these smash burgers and most is that these were real thick boys. I was kind of shocked how much food this was. The sauce was great, but I was already full around the halfway point of the burger. I don't say this to complain, but my favorite smash burgers are usually lighter than a normal burger. This was anything but. We ate these at 1:30pm and I didn't need to eat again the rest of the day. I finished with a pistachio cake slice and enjoyed that probably more than the burger. Cool concept! I'd love to come back again, especially to try today's special, which was a Chicago dog burger. But for visit #1, I wanted to stick with what they are famous for.

    The Smashburger

    It's a small lovely shop in the middle of clear lake with truly one of the best burgers I've ever tasted. It's a lost art. Being a small local shop with a lovely feel, speedy service, and a good product. I'd say it's a top 5 burger I've ever had. On pure taste alone. Come here.

    This is an outstanding burger! One of the best I have experienced in greater Houston. Period. The meat is perfectly seasoned and griddled. The vegetables are fresh. The bun is nicely grilled. And the tots served alongside this masterpiece were hot -- crunchy on the outside with a fluffy interior. Service here is at the counter, and the lady who took our order was very friendly. The restaurant isn't huge, but there are plenty of tables, and everything is clean. I have only one issue with this place: They are only open on weekends!

    If a restaurant is only open two days a week, it better be good. Luckily, Durbs doesn't just meet expectations; it smashes them.We brought a small army of eight hungry family members, and every single person left thrilled. Most of us targeted the smash burgers paired with crispy tots or fries--absolute perfection. The rest of the crew ordered the fried shrimp, which honestly might be the greatest thing to happen to seafood this century.The operational flow is delightfully seamless: order at the counter, sit back, and enjoy the cinematic wall art while the incredibly friendly staff brings your feast directly to the table. The hand-painted movie memorabilia gives the space an undeniable personality and charm. It is rare to find a family-owned operation that nails food, service, and ambiance all at once. Durbs is a weekend-only treasure. Do yourself a favor and plan your next Saturday around them!

    Bulgogi fried and Rodeo Burger

    Listen Durbs did not disappoint at all.I couldn't stop to take a proper picture lol!!! Fantastic food and customer service to match. This Rodeo Burger was crafted to the T. Fantastic sear on the patties and crafted amazingly. Then the gentleman who owns the spot came out and talked to us and gifted me his seasoning blend. I can't tell you how great this experience was. We will BE BACK FOR SURE! Thankyou so much and I wish blessings and future success as the years come and go

    Love, love Durbs so good The burgers were hot and fresh and so good. Mushroom and Swiss vs the cowboy burger! Both were 10/10

    Cowboy and mozzarella sticks
    Katie R.

    Food is so good I'm leaving a review while eating lol. I got the smash burger and husband got the cowboy. Burgers are big, fries are delicious and crunchy, and mozzarella sticks are surprisingly tasty. 10/10 recommend and get the hype I read about!

    Mushroom Swiss Burger w/ fries

    Had a fantastic time at Durb's with a group of buddies. The burgers were delicious! The main menu is double-smash burgers with different cheeses and toppings. Buttery goodness all over, and the buns were good too! One friend also got the "chopped cheese sandwich" ~ burger meat and cheese sandwich - and would definitely order again. Fries were pretty good too, and the local sauce was pretty flavorful. Service is ordered at the bar, and BYOB (although they sell a few drinks too) Finally: Our burger snob friend rated 8.7/10 (for reference, Gordon Ramsey's burger was a 7.0)

    Smash Burger
    Becki R.

    The Smash and Cowboy burgers were amazing! We picked up a togo order, when I opened the box the burger looked small but no way. It was huge I couldn't hardly finish half of it. We also got the buffalo dip it was really tasty too. Will go back for sure! Quick counter service very nice staff.

    Durb's is a new comer to the area, a hole in the wall you might miss in a common strip center. however the interior has a garden/industrial chic vibe i didnt expect! this place is known for its smash burger, which my partner raved about. not many choices for gluten free (no lettuce wrap, no gf bun) so i settled on the special frito pie. the chili was rich and flavorful with home made queso on top. it was missing some pizazz though, some chopped red onion and jalapeños would go a long way. drink prices were slightly high (2.50 for a 12 oz gatorade). service was pretty fast. we will be back if ever in the area! next to try is the elote dog which looked delicious.

    Durb's is an awesome casual food counter-service style restaurant located in League City. The ordering process was quick and convenient! Once you've placed your order, you are given a number and can take a seat. The menu consists of hearty comfort food and eclectic finds such as hamburgers, hotdogs and even a tikka masala fried chicken sandwich! We tried many options including the smash burger (add elote), buffalo chicken dip, grilled cheese w/ tomato basil soup, waffle cake, and tikka masala fries Everything we ordered hit the spot and tasted amazing. We won't hesitate to return for more yummy goodness!!!

    This cafe was adorable. The food was not only flavorful, but beautifully presented as well. I…read moreordered the Tostada Sunrise with a side of cheesy grits to start, then treated myself to a snickerdoodle cookie and a hot white chocolate chai with oat milk to round everything out. The cookie was baked to soft perfection. I went with a friend who thankfully knew to join the waitlist about an hour before we planned to arrive, which made the wait very manageable. Had we not known that important little tip, we probably would've been waiting close to an hour. Overall, it was such a pleasant experience, and I'd definitely go back again.

    Let me preface this review by stating that I have been to this establishment multiple times & had…read moreglowing, amazing service each time. However, my last experience with this establishment left a horrible taste in my mouth. Therefore, I am giving them an extra star for the previous experiences. On May 17th, 2026, my best friend and I had been looking forward to coming to Water Oak all day and had our taste buds set for the occasion. We were famished and had quite a day up until arriving. Upon entering the restaurant, we were very briefly greeted by the a Hispanic man who I assume is the manager and told that they were "no longer seating for the day". I glanced around and saw that every table inside WAS seated, however there were many tables outside that were empty. I asked about the patio stating that us where we preferred to sit anyway, and was met with that they were also not seating the patio at all for the rest of the day. However, there was a group of 3 women seated outside on the patio at that exact time. I didn't say anything, simply turned and left. After having "one of those days" hashing out something so minute with a person who clearly didn't want us in their place of business was not something I was about to do. Keep in mind, we came on a Sunday afternoon. Prime brunch time. We arrived at the restaurant around 2:30PM, and their website says they don't close until 4PM. I am a biracial black woman and my friend is white. I noticed a significant amount of White and Latino patrons, but a shocking lack of Black people. With Houston having one of the most diverse populations in the US, it is almost impossible not to see at least one individual of each ethnicity in a place at any given time. I am definitely not one that likes to pull the race card, because oftentimes that is not the issue. However, as someone who is familiar with the service industry I understand Sundays can be extremely overwhelming. And I am cognizant that not everything is that serious. But, I am also aware that a lot of people in the industry discriminate against people of color, with stigmas that we don't leave enough gratuity or we "don't fit the vibe of their establishment". And those 3 women seated on the patio? All White. After reading recent reviews, it seems that management is discriminating against people of color, more specifically Black folks. This is an extremely disheartening and sickening realization to make, seeing as I have given well over $1,000 worth of my money here but also enjoyed many meals without issue. To management: It breaks my heart to have to write this review and to be honest, I wouldn't have written it if I hadn't seen others posting about similar experiences in addition to also feeling discriminated against. I highly suggest that if you are "not seating" after a specific time, you announce this via social media or alert potential patrons with a sign or something of the sort. & obviously, there is such an issue with treatment towards POC that it is a noteworthy problem via your Google & Yelp reviews. You will have a much bigger fish to fry on your hands if you continue to let this issue go on unrectified. I would be willing to return if I felt things were to be changed for the better in the future! Hopefully this review sparks a much needed conversation and brings attention to an area which needs work.

This is NOT the type of bakery where you can set down, and have a cup of coffee with your favorite treat. They don't serve warm beverages here anyway. Craved Creations is pick up only. You can order special cakes and other sweets, of course. Since this is a small bakery, stock is limited. You'll never know what desserts are available until you walk in or call them. There's cookies, cupcakes, cake pops, cinnamon rolls, cookie sandwiches and macarons. Everything is homemade, fresh from the kitchen. They don't sell whole cakes or cake slices. You can sample cake flavors, but only for parties and events. I've seen some photos of their customized cakes and designer cookies. The staff do excellent work! Their prices are surprisingly reasonable. Me and my family would love to order from Craved Creations in the near future!

I explained that we simply wanted hibiscus mango tea with lychee jelly and boba, and I was explicitly told there would be no added sugar in the drinks. When I tasted mine, it was unbearably sweet--honestly, it tasted like Kool-Aid. I brought it back to the counter because this was clearly not what I had asked for. Only then was I told that the mango syrup they use is already sweetened. Had that been explained when I ordered--especially after I specifically asked about the sugar--I absolutely would not have ordered it that way. I wasn't asking them to remake the drinks because I changed my mind or didn't like the flavor. I ordered based on incorrect information their employee gave me. Yet when I asked if they could remake the drinks without the sweetened mango syrup, I was told I would have to pay an additional 50% for each drink. That is incredibly poor customer service. Mistakes and misunderstandings happen, but when a customer specifically asks about an ingredient, is given incorrect information, and purchases multiple drinks based on that information, the appropriate response is to simply correct the order--not charge the customer again for the business's mistake. We would have been perfectly happy with plain hibiscus tea, lychee jelly, and boba. I wasn't looking for anything for free; I simply wanted the drinks I thought I was purchasing based on what I was told. Unfortunately, their unwillingness to rectify such a simple issue left a very bad impression and is not a way I would choose to do business.
