    Old fashioned
    Monica F.

    It was a cold and super rainy night, and I needed to eat somewhere that is "somewhat" close to the grocery store. I had previously tried to come here months ago, but it was closed due to your typical busted water main that forced them to close until it was repaired by the city. It was definitely worth the wait! We were greeted with a smile by the hostess, who ended up also being our server. We jokingly told her that we wanted to sit outside, and she said that was great, but she wasn't going to be our server if we did. While some may have been offended by the response, we actually thought it was funny because it was a smarty comment to our smarty request to sit outside since it was cold and rainy out there. Perhaps on a nice day, we will sit out side. Surprisingly for a Saturday night, the place was not very crowded, which was fine by me. I started with the Old Fashioned for a drink and the chicken flautas. The flautas were tasty! They came with a side of guacamole, queso and green salsa. For my meal, I ordered the grilled shrimp tacos, which came with 2 tacos. The portion was just right and the flavor was great! My husband ordered the hot dog and he said it's one of the better hot dogs he has had in a while. We topped it off with the churros for dessert, but honestly we were getting full at that point. The churros, while not the best I have ever had, they were pretty good. They came with a caramel sauce on the side. This place is spacious, clean and has a huge outdoor patio, so we are looking forward to coming here again soon.

    FM Burger (8oz) + bacon with totts

    Great place for a burger! I got the 12 oz. It was nice and juicy. Decent size menu with a good variety to choose from. Next visit I'll try the Brussels sprouts, club sandwich, fried chicken sandwich, or green chili burger. It all sounded good! Ate at the bar and the service was fast and friendly. The place has a sports bar vibe to it. Also a great outside patio that accepts dogs. Feel like pickle ball? PKL Social is right next door and shares the same bar and kitchen. Bar menu looked good, but I didn't see Bloody Mary's. I didn't ask if they had them, but I was thinking that might have hit the spot.

    We sat on the covered enclosed patio and the fans were on. We had a larger group so service moved a little slow but the margaritas were good and so was the spicy chicken sandwich. Also you have to get the fried pickles.

    Really good, well executed food! The menu was simple American fare but sometimes that's exactly what you need. I felt that the ingredients were very fresh and seasonal, so my chicken sandwich felt like it was made with high quality ingredients. The batter on the chicken also felt reminiscent of Popeyes spicy chicken, and I loved that. The restaurant is in an area currently undergoing a facelift. There's a new pickleball joint next door and some storefronts across the street. There's a parking lot as well so it's fairly accessible.

    We did not expect this. The place looks very laid back. It's one of the best New york steaks I've ever had. They have steak night on Thursdays, and I got one of the two last ones for the night. Great drinks and absolutely cool ambiance. Great place for sports watching. Our service was fantastic and amazing overall value.

    Arrived on Sat at noon for lunch Reviewed business online first and also to scope out the parking situation since some places in Houston/Heights/River Oaks don't have private parking. Although they stated they had a huge parking lot it really is only about 60-70% marked and usable (see pics) They do not have entire lot marked with parking spaces and really need to have it redone as the spots they do have are very small and my small suv barely fit between the lines. A full size truck or suv would not fit between the marked lines but would still be able to park. When you walk up to bldg they have a huge outdoor space with tables, multiple tvs, covered and uncovered seating, fire pit and allow dogs which is pretty cool. Inside is a large open space nothing special with a few tvs on the wall near small bar area and music playing low as back ground noise. We were seated quickly and the waitress greeted us promptly and answered our questions and brought us waters. We ordered 3 items, 2 FM 8oz burgers and a brunch item chicken fried steak with eggs and hash browns. All the food was very good tasted great. Here are 2 odd things in my opinion and it wasn't a deal breaker but I may not return next time when want a really good burger. First when you look at the menu it states FM burger 4oz or 8oz, now I ordered the 8oz (1/2 lb burger) and was expecting a single 1/2 lb patty on a large bun. What I received was a small bun with two 4 oz pattys so basically it was a small double cheese burger! The smaller bun didn't hold all the ingredients well and is hard to hold and the double patties makes it a little harder to eat. A single 8 oz patty on a larger bun would be so much better. They need to fix the menu to state you can order a single or double but not have it read as if you were going to get a single 8oz patty. The other thing is they don't have sweet tea! I know it's not mandatory to have it but 90% of restaurants in Texas have sweet tea. Waitress did offer regular tea and sugar packets. I say if your gonna have regular tea then you need to have sweet tea also or don't have any tea at all. They have cokes/soda in cans so they could stock Arizona sweet tea as an option if they don't want to have to make sweet tea. Overall the waitress was great, service was great, the place has a cool vibe and laid back, not to noisy and we were able to have a conversation without yelling. I will return for a brunch meal or other item but not for a burger. I really love a great Burger but was disappointed with the FM 8 oz burger.

    Good experience for my first visit! They have a nice outdoor patio that is covered with lots of TVs and heaters. Indoor space is pretty nice as well. Service was great - food and drinks came out freaky fast. I got the FM Club which was shredded chicken, lettuce, tomato on bread and got a side of tots. Decent quality and price! I would come back for sure!

    The food was just okay nothing special got a grain bowl but it was more like a salad with some grains on top . like i said nothing special . The music was loud so that wasn't great but the place is cool on the outside and the greats are yummm

    Tasty Sangria!

    I can't believe I live so close and have never been here before! After a birthday disaster with The Toasted Coconut, these guys stepped in to rescue my birthday plans. They have a huge patio with plenty of seating both covered and uncovered, great happy hour specials, a solid cocktail list, and the Harvest Salad (excellent green goddess dressing) was one of the absolute best salads I've had in a long time. I've craved it and gone back a few times now just for that salad. We tried their brunch and the chilaquiles (my favorite) and chicken fried steak was really good. The drink prices are reasonable and they have a mimosa carafe special for $18 which serves the various options for juice on the side so you can make your ideal ratio, which I really appreciate!

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.

The basic burger is $12, and anything you want to add or replace is extra. Now that's including the basic sauce, which I thought would be an additional homemade sauce if I needed. Again, I am learning. I ordered grilled chicken, but at the counter, a very nice person, Eric, told me they were out of grilled chicken and had fried chicken available. I guess so, since I spend some time. I don't want to wait any longer. I also ordered homemade lemonade, which came with lots of ice. I requested that some ice be removed. I also added chard jalapenos, which were tasteless and slightly burned, so they lost their flavor. The food pick-up area was separate, and the guy who gave you a food tray could have been friendlier and said thank you. Oh well, my burger was a piece of chicken with lettuce and onion. It was ok but very dry inside. So make sure you order sauce or anything for your burger, and pay for it. When I got there, the dining hall was empty. I like this place, but plz if you're going there for the first time, read the menu carefully and place your order. Service could be friendlier, and the dining hall was clean.

    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.

A standard smashed Double cheeseburger and generous extra crispy impressively seasoned waffle fries as you want it cost $16 which is fair since adding the fries vs standalone burger is only $1 price differential. 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
