I love this place. They have a huge variety of sandwiches to choose from. Brought a lunch group here that had never been here and they all said it was soooo good. They all will definitely be coming back. read more

The food was good but the place as so disgusting it was so dirty! I finally got my husband to try it with me and it was so dirty inside that we decided not to go back. The burger was good but it didn't look like the floor was ever scrubbed and everything was so dirty. It didn't matter that the tables and chairs were old if it would have been kept clean. Too bad it could be a good place! They need a good cleaning!!! read more

Really enjoyed my burger here! This place is a hidden gem - it's hard to see because its attached to a gas station. I only found it because I was looking on Yelp for a burger, and Yelp didn't disappoint! After looking at the menu, I decided to get the kids cheese burger because it came with lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles. It may not look that great but I loved the burger! The bun was my favorite part I think. It was a hearty bun - thick bread that tasted fresh. And the kids size was really like a regular burger to me. The fries were hearty - thick cut fries that were hot and not too much seasoning if at all, but I actually like that because I'm trying to cut back on sodium. The price wasn't bad either for a kids meal. I think I spent under $8, and I'm always looking for a bargain. Thank you Hippo Burger! read more

Hippo Burgers - Kids Cheeseburger Meal and Fries - Fast Food Near Me - Houston, Texas

My go-to burger place when I wanted a nice fulfilling flavorful 1/2 pound burger. The speed of the service is nice especially when you least expect it. If you're looking for a great burger joint, then look no further...your mouth will thank you later!! read more

Myself and my family all got food poisoning from here over the weekend. Initially I thought it tasted good but didn't last long. Door dashed it home. read more

Food is a 4+, location/ambiance leave something to be desired. Burgers are huge and clearly hand-shaped in house; really flavorful and filling. We came on a Saturday around noon and there was no wait; food was out in less than 10 min. They have tons of burger and chicken sandwich options, so most anyone should be able to find something to their liking. Friendly staff, generally pretty clean, sparse space. read more

Hippo Burgers - Fast Food Near Me - Houston, Texas

Chose this place out of others in the area as this place was close to my next destination and wondered how the food is. Established next to a gas station, the building is on the left side and upon entering, the atmosphere is small and minimalistic. Not to say it's bad, but you go there to get your food and eat. 4/5 On a Tuesday during evening it's not empty but not crowded, I'd say around a few people. Customer service is expected (ordered my food, pay it for it, no issues) I got #1 on the menu and Vanilla Shake for around $18, including tips (15%) although tipping culture and how it's shown on the machine is pretty much "emotion-guided" if you feel bad about not tipping. Without tips it's still a bit hefty on price. Price is 2/5 The Hippo Burger (#1 on menu) - Texture: 3/5 I honestly expected the patty to have at least some juice in it but it does fall apart easily, showing that it's lean from what I can tell. - Flavor: 4/5 The smokiness from the patty alongside the acidity of pickles and crunchy veggies gives it a nice "burger" flavor. Although has similar flavor to a whataburger burger. Overall rating: 3/5 Lower side if you prefer a juicier burger, otherwise 4/5. Take note of the buns though the butter pairs well. Shake (Vanilla) - Texture: 3/5 I'd say from a thickness scale from 1-5 (low viscosity to highest) I'd rate it a 3. Not too watery like water but not thick to the point you can't drink from it. - Flavor: 4/5 I assume a shake will include mixing in ice cream and milk to make it, as this drink is slightly sweet, combined with the flavor of milk and vanilla ice cream. Comparable to chic fil a shakes honestly if I had to relate to another chain. - Overall Rating: 4/5 I couldn't find anything noteworthy, but a vanilla shake is a vanilla shake. Overall place rating: 4/5, although I do not recommend myself to come back again because of prices and other chains have competitive prices with almost the same quality. read more

I read about Hippo burger on Nextdoor. The reviews were good. My wife and I shared a burger to go. We were really pleased with the burger. It reminded us about the burgers we use to get at a drugstore with a grill. The flavor was much better than fast food burger places. We will go back. Keep up the good work. read more

the bread is buttery and the patty taste homemade. i love the sweet potatoe fries too.

I must say I wasn't sure what to expect to from this unasumming location but as you can tell from my review, I was very impressed. I am lucky to have this great burger place just around the corner from my home. It is connected to a gas station but is a stand alone business. Most customers during the time I've visited opt to carry out. Even though their business stays steady, they have you in and out quickly. The burger is really good no matter what variation you try. It is a well seasoned patty that doesn't need to be disguised with all the things you put on it. All their offerings are at a fair price as well. I would definitely recommend this business. read more

Great burger overall! Had the jalapeño cheeseburger with garlic fries. Beautiful bun on bottom and sesame seed top bun. All the way on the fixings. Ordered it's ago and within 10 minutes. It was ready when I arrived. Definitely will return to try other items like chili cheese fries! read more

I think Hippo Burger is 3.5 stars, but I'm rounding up to 4. It's a small unassuming place connected to a gas station. The ambiance is definitely lacking, and the day we were there, multiple patrons had not bussed their tables despite there being disposal places next to the tables, so it felt a bit dirty. However, the food made up for the environment. Their burgers are a hefty 1/2 lb, so I opted to split their Hippo cheeseburger, a chocolate shake, and an order of garlic fries. The shake was good, but not the best I've had. The garlic fries were really unique. They were loaded with garlic flavor and had a good crispness to them without being overcooked. The burger was really delicious and I could see the patty had been seared really nicely, while the inside was ever so slightly pink. I will say the guy taking the orders didn't have the best customer service, but we didn't interact long enough to affect the meal. I would come back for a tasty burger and fries--it looks like they have a drive through too for convenience. read more

This was my first time eating here and I believe you now have a loyal customer. The food was fresh and tasty. I had the mushroom chicken sandwich combo meal. The sandwich was flavorful and delicious. The fries were a perfect mix of soft and crispy if that makes sense. I will definitely come back to try other menu items. read more

Good portion sizes pleasantly surprised . Even the kids meal burger size was legit. Dont let the location deter you .

Lead off review 2022. Happy new Year Yelpies. Hippos burgers Is a solid Burger Chain. The few times I've been in, it's constantly busy with people coming in and out for a lot of to go orders. They have a vast selection of burgers and chicken sandwiches. The burgers are all half pounder's and on my last visit, I ordered the guacamole. burger. It was a juicy succulent beef patty with cheese and sautéed onions and they actually had guacamole spread all on the buns. I also ordered hippo fries that were A pretty good quantity And very well seasoned. They also have quite a bit of different varieties of french fries. There are shakes on the menu also and their prices are fairly reasonable for the quantity that they serve. read more

This place was a shocker!! Really good It's attached to a crappy little gas station so right off the bat it seems sketch. ITS NOT!! Food: I had the hippo special burger! Added some Cajun chef hot sauce to top it off. The bun was crisp to perfect on the top and bottom. Big patty with good quality meat. Not some premade patty crap, I saw them making them. This burger was on point! Service: it's an order at the counter spot but staff was friendly! I'll definitely be back!! Ps.... I took a picture but apparently my zoom call didn't let it save. read more

Love --love the burgers!! They are so big and delicious! They taste so good!! I'll be back. And I love the fries too.

First visit to this establishment which came highly recommended but for my taste buds it was just fair. In my burgers I always look for that homemade wow factor that reminds you of mom's greasy and homemade toasted buns and juicy burgers which is extremely hard to find and duplicate. So I'm extremely critical of my reviews on burgers and so far only one has met those expectations which is Mister Hamburger in Huntsville Texas but I always continue my search for the ultimate burger. The restaurant was empty and quiet with very little traffic. read more

Hippo Burgers - Hippo Cheeseburger - Fast Food Near Me - Houston, Texas

These burgers are excellent, featuring generous, juicy patties. The BLT boasts thick-cut strips of bacon cooked crispy and delicious. The veggies are cold and sweet with just the right amount of mayo, all between two potato buns. The first time I have the fries which are cooked crisp and not greasy, but the second time I tried the onion rings which were the best rings I've ever had. I can't wait to have them again. read more

I put in an order on the website and was charged and when I arrived at the restaurant the cashier stated my order was canceled automatically. He just told me there was nothing he could do it is a bug in their system. He did offer to ring me up again but at that point I had no desire to eat ther. Bad first experience. read more

The location is at a gas station but the burger was amazing. Beef was seasoned well and veggies were crisp. read more

Sriracha burger: the meat was okay but the toppings elevated the burger for sure. Wasn't the biggest fan of the sauce but definitely added flavor Chicken especial: the grilled chicken was surprisingly packed with flavor and was super juicy! The bacon and jalapeños were great additions to the already tasty sandwich. Although I was initially skeptical of the grilled part, I would highly recommend trying it! The ambience was alright, good enough to sit there and catch up with friends over some lunch. The service was super fast and all the servers were great:) read more

First off the manager Aurelio is very nice and does a great job! He took my order over the phone and was very personable. He went out of his way to tell me about the menu. He was very pleasant over the phone. You can tell he really likes what he does. He told me about the special for 9.99 so I went with that. You get any burger on their menu, fries and a drink for 9.99. Heck of deal! Food: the bacon cheeseburger is really good! Made to perfection and made fresh. The bacon was good too. Very good actually. Bun was tasty. I am a fan. The fries were really good too they have a lot of options for burgers. I will definitely be back to try more things off their menu. I hope they do well if you are in the area drop in and support the new local spot. Thanks again Aurelio! Keep up the good work! read more

I wish I took a photo, but I was driving. You guys' burgers are good. But, what made the rating so low--is the fact that I paid for a "shake", thinking it'd be a real milkshake. But, it was literally just MILK. MILK, with some crushed up cookies and a bunch of whipped cream on top; (I ordered cookies & cream). $7!!!!!! FOR MILK!!! I'm PISSED! "Shakes" are made with ice cream! On top of that, I had to go back and forth (nicely) with the guy you all had at the register, because he gave me one with CHOCOLATE SYRUP in it. Never in my life, have I ordered a "cookies & cream" milkshake and had chocolate syrup added to it. It's supposed to be vanilla ICE CREAM with crushed up Oreos added to it. I don't know if he didn't understand English well or what--but, that experience should have never been so confusing and it shouldn't have happened in the first place. Then, he handed the drink back to me, after saying he was gonna change it, and I'm sure he just stirred the syrup in. You all have serious business issues that need to be fixed. You don't know what people are allergic to and you all are just making products the wrong way. Absolutely crazy. I can't believe you all actually sell that.--MILK. And, not only that--but, I can't believe that it's still on the menu, years later. That's such a lazy way to do business. Absolutely ridiculous. And, then on top of that--you guys overcharge for your fries. Regular potatoes don't even cost much and you all charge as much as you do, just to give a small amount. Not even gonna lie--I may never come back. As I've stated, the burgers are good; well, the two I've tried--the mushroom and the bbq burger. In addition to this, the bbq burger has never been the same since the first time I ordered it. Which is super disappointing. You expect the food to be made the same way every time you come. It just turned me off. I'm truly disappointed.lol No one wants to drive to a specific restaurant, pay their hard earned money, and then be disappointed in the meal--especially, being a returning customer. Sorry. Or, rather you guys should apologize to *me. I can not get over that phony shake! read more

As others have said, it's attached to a gas station--which was a little jarring. Don't let that fool you though because this place had legit tasty burgers--with a lot of different options. The milkshakes were very good too. Would absolutely eat here again next time I'm in Houston. read more

I wish I could give this place a 3.65 stars. A solid 4.5 star for the incredible burgers. Great size and taste. So if you're planning on going here for JUST the burgers do it. But my 60+ year old family member couldn't handle the grease of the fries and ended up getting hospitalized afterwards for it. It was like the fries were being fried in the same grease for weeks. And tator tots were soggy. 0/5 for hot dog. Legit was just a small hot dog you can grab from the dollar store fridge aisle and put some toppings on it. Not worth the $4. It was legit like concession stand hot dog style. read more

Hippo burgers has some good burgers and fries! The portions are pretty big and you can get full fast. I got the Hippo burger and a chicken burger. Both were good and fresh. I also got garlic tots and chili cheese tots. If you're getting the chili cheese fries Togo, ask for the chili and cheese on the side. Also got the lemon pepper wings and they were salty but pretty good. Not bad and I'll hopefully try more menu items later! read more

The burgers were very good. Good flavor, nice and hot. The service was great too. My issue is with the garlic fries. Everyone's seen those jars of pre-diced garlic in water at the grocery store - that's what the "garlic fries" were. Just regular fries (good) with like 2 scoops of the pre diced garlic in water. And you could taste the water. Nasty. They weren't even tossed in the fries, it looked like it was just scooped on. So disappointed, I feel like I wasted my $5 on those fries. I don't think I'll go back. read more

Best Burger I have had,good variety and service only complaint need much larger diameter for shakes very thick and delicious.dont miss this place! read more

Hippo burgers are great. I've been here twice now and I can't think of a single reason not to give a 5 star review. The food is always made fresh to order, yet still served quickly. No shortcuts here. The large sesame seed bun is grilled, upping the burgers. Fresh hot fries, lots of choices, lunch specials, friendly efficient staff and clean restaurant. They hit all the marks . Highly recommend checking this place. Also, big also, they have lots more to offer other than burgers. read more

Hippo Burgers - Delicious made to order burger. Lunch special includes fries and a drink for $9.99 - Fast Food Near Me - Houston, Texas

This place is in a gas station, so if that's not your thing, just know that right upfront. I'm not one who cares about such things when the food is good. These burgers are very good (Joy Love does and will forever have my burger loving heart) but this place is definitely worth a try. Came here with a friend to give them a shot and I'm happy I did. The mushroom burger was very juicy and delicious, and my friend enjoyed his burger as well. It's a gas station so parking is limited, but available and the service was very friendly. I would definitely return here again, and if you haven't checked it out please do! read more

Lived near this area for ever but until today I got curious and decided to try it out. I got the hippo special with onion rings and overall it was pretty good compared to other burger joints who would price their burgers like gold. Service is a nice but bear with them if they get busy. Nice area to eat at but I think most people order to go. Will definitely come back to try out their other menu items :) read more

Really good burger. Good mix of being big (half pound), juicy and yet smashed and a good scald as well. Salted and peppered very well, too. As all others say, don't let the fact that it is attached to a gas station fool you. They have plenty of seating and the food is good. Really good burger; just not quite in the outstanding category. read more

Incredible burger and Cajun fries! Best burger and fries I've had in a long time! Stop in! read more

Definitely a must try.... Burgers and buns are delicious especially for under $10!!!! Cajun tater tots were always really good!

Pretty great overall! It's not the absolute most flavorful patty I've ever had, but it's clearly of high quality... maybe add the salt and pepper yourself. At first we were nervous about the gas station being attached, usually a sign of low quality, but service was nice and the interior was pretty clean. I ordered the burger with bacon and jalapeños and she got the one with mushrooms. We both said the cheese was hard to notice on the burger and mine needed more flavor (I.e. salt and especially pepper) and she said hers should have had sautéed mushrooms instead or raw and that's why they didn't have the flavor she wanted. All in all JLB is still king of burgers in the neighborhood, but that's guys are doing really great too! read more
