    Bacon Cheese Burger
    Phil C.

    This was a fantastic Burger place.. I was working in the area and always love to find locally owned businesses... Fresh ingredients and a good portion patty.. Absolutely Fantastic imo

    Barbecue cheese burger and cajun fries

    I swung by here on the recommendation of a colleague. I'd never heard of the place before, but apparently it's part of a chain in the east Houston suburbs. The place doesn't look like much when you walk in, but sometimes simpler is better. That was definitely the case here. I ordered my burger and fries, and went with Cajun fries at the cashier's recommendation. The burger was thick and juicy, clearly made from fresh beef. The toppings were thick cut and added a nice heft to the burger. The fries were dusted with a seasoning that left no need for ketchup, but had enough kick that I refilled my drink a couple of times to help wash them down. Overall, it cost slightly more than I'd like to pay for a burger, fries, and drink during my lunch break, but definitely a place worth grabbing a bite to eat at if you're in the area.

    Burnt onions and mushrooms, less cheese too.

    First time here. Might just be this location, cause I never had a problem with any of there sandwiches elsewhere! Was excited when placing my order to-go, mushroom w/swiss burger and a sweet potato fries order with cookies and cream milkshake. But I highlighted the important things in the pics! Never again. Just because your chain has multiple store, doesn't mean the workers are running it the same as the other locations or making food the same way. It was the worst mushroom burger since coming! I even called back because what I experienced I spoke to staff about it but I was already at work when noticed. Quality is what counts. Other location like (beltway/gessner), and (timber forest) are better. The one one Wilson Rd. Is the original one! Need to try that one out. But wasn't satisfied at this location.

    Hippo Avocado Burger

    I ordered a chocolate shake, Cajun fries, and avocado burger. The burger was very greasy but the fries and shake weren't bad. I will also add, if ordering through DoorDash you aren't getting ripped off by this restaurant. Their prices on the DoorDash app are the same prices posted to their menu. $7.50 for the burger, $1.75 for fries, and $3.50 for the shake.

    Hippo avocado burger

    Best burgers in town, not just talking out my behind either! Avocado burger is a must try! They use real ground beef super thick meat and everything just flows together so perfectly. It's been consistently good for last 2 years. If you like a huge thick juicy burger with plenty of flavor this is the place for you! You want a plain Jane burger with no flavor take your butt to McDonald's. Goodbye.

    Hippo Burger is a great name for this restaurant when you look at the portions! The food was absolutely amazing!

    The service was good but the food is not that great. The burger was very bland and the bread quality felt stale.

    Love it Great Louisiana flavor! Eric our service knows it!…read more Professional and knowledgeable

    If I would have rated this place my first time here two years ago, it would have barely received…read moretwo stars. This time was a completely different experience. As we walked in, we were immediately greeted by Eric and seated. He sat us in a private cozy nook but we asked to move to the booths with tv viewing access. Eric took the time to explain the menu and offered his suggestions. He greeted and checked on everyone. As he spoke to people, he would thank them for coming back and converse as if he was speaking to old friends. The customer service was superb. My husband ordered a michelada with Michelob Ultra. He said it was a few degrees shy of having ice in it, who doesn't love a cold beer! For dinner we ordered the gumbo with sausage, red beans and rice, and the twin lobster rolls. The gumbo had a dark roux. It was decent but the spice level was a bit much for me. After about four bites, my husband took over. He enjoyed it. Next was the red beans and rice with sausage. The flavor was good. My only complaint was the sausage pieces were too big for one bite. Lastly was the twin lobster rolls with Cajun fries. The fries were crispy and I'd compare them to Charlie's. The roll had generous portions of delicious lobster. We chose a hot roll but they do serve it cold if you prefer. The basket is served with a 2 oz helping of melted butter for you to drizzle on your rolls. The flat top rolls were buttery, soft, and grilled to perfection. Overall, we enjoyed them but they were missing just a touch of something, maybe a spice, I can't pinpoint it. I would definitely get them again though! The food was all hot and fresh. I overheard Eric telling another customer they don't have heat lamps and everything is brought out as soon as it comes off the stove. The location is in the center of booming shopping centers. This is a great lunch or dinner spot that welcomes casual family friendly dining. I'm glad we returned, we will be back.

    I'm back my Yelpers. Good to be back. OMG. This place was told to me by one person and another…read moreperson thereafter and had me SOLD. Steak night advertisement is why I came on a Wednesday from it's Instagram page. From the entrance there's nothing like this place. Outside inside, wood built bar, 2 stories, gravel rocks parking and grass entrance. Has the feel of a local crawfish spot but good hole in the wall joint, with good food good prices drinks and vibes. Everyone here either greeted with a smile or greeted with a hi. That's right, leave your worries home, and any bitterness you have on your chest, cause this isn't the place for it. No kiddos here or young folks either. Closes 2am every night. Seems like a more club on the weekend, I can only imagine with alot of open flooring space and a DJ nightly. Grown Grown here. This place... I should of been coming a long time ago. This place is Underrated. Forget your chain bars these days, this is where it's at. Bathrooms, and tables and service everywhere. Behind a Shipley's donut along side the feeder road. You'll miss this place if you blink. Sat up top for the views, FIRST TIME. Fans are near seating so you're not hot. Food is ordered downstairs but they bring it to you wherever. But drinks can be ordered any area in here. MULTIPLE BARS INSIDE A BAR. Steak was tender. But wanted Medium well, it was more like Medium, but turned out better than I normally thought. Seasoned, butter and savory hands down, and potatoes was well done, and fully loaded. Drinks were stiff here as well. I can only imagine a Fri-Sun night... more crowded, probably standing at times for a seat. Parking lot is first come first serve, very limited. And of course parking near Shipley Donuts when they're closed, in case full, just another secondary. I would really recommend this place if you like enjoying outdoor eating and music with a crowd. This is a real bar, no questions. Must try on your bucket list.

    We went here during the daytime, late afternoon. The venue is a large space with two bars, indoor…read moreand one outdoor. They feature darts and a pool table on the inside with corn hole on the outside and live music occasionally. The bartender (José) and manager were welcoming and conversational while showing professionalism and genuine care. We played three rounds of pool and three rounds of cornhole. The pool table's felt has very low rolling resistance and is perfectly level, and they have well maintained pool sticks with chalk and powder for those with very moist hands. The whole venue is well built and has a lot of open space, with copious tables and seating. We will be back to Humble Backyard to have fun when it is jamming with people
