    5 Hippo BLT Burger
    Tam M.

    Hippo Burgers was a a pleasant surprise to find! Knowing that I would be in the area for training, I decided to look for a lunch option the day before. Hippo Burgers popped up on my Yelp search and was not too far away, so I bookmarked it. Could have went to the Popeyes near by, but I really had a taste for a burger. Reviews were solid, so I figured why not?! Drive was bumpy to HB, but that is typical for the Aldine area, so drive carefully! Parking lot was plentiful even during lunchtime, but I did arrive just before 11:30 so I may have missed the lunch break traffic. Still about half of the restaurant was filled up. The menu is straightforward and outlines the ingredients on the burger. Desiring a burger with bacon, I ordered the BLT Burger- without mayo added mustard. You will find that the burgers are not too overly inclusive with a bunch of toppings but include one ingredient that makes it unique enough to make a statement (i.e. bacon, mushrooms jalepanos...This gives HB time and focus to make an oustanding meaty and flavorful patty to showcase their burgers which gives it that homemade burger vibe. Plus the order came out quick! Portion size was generous and worth the price. Very tasty burger that will keep you full the rest of the day. I cannot forget the fries, which came out fresh and hot. A pinch of salt- just how I like them, which was the deciding factor for me to eat at HB versus driving back to training and risk my fries getting cold! I gladly indulged in every single bite of my burger and fries. Plus, I love that they have Pepsi versus Coke beverages. They sell one cup size for fountain drinks. Dining in? free refills! I also liked that the tables are spaced out and give people room to eat. Tables provided plenty of paper towels as well as you sink your teeth into your burger and possibly get a little undignified. No one will blame you. Good food deserves to be devoured and I most certainly will be back again to indulge accordingly.

    Hippo burgers!!! I've always driven by another location and never had a chance to try because I get off work the time that they close. Then one day I ordered it thru Uber Eats and found the no frills burger to be so delicious (I made some modifications of course). So I had to come try it again in person. Yeah I ate that burger up and down. Again the burger did not disappoint it was so solid I look forward to the bites with bacon in it. The Cajun fries were a bit salty this time around nothing ketchup couldn't fix. Ambiance was clean it was kind of in a newly build plaza, when I ordered it thru uber eats it was a different location. The service was good no notes on it.

    Bacon cheese Burger all the way please with there famous Cajun Fries!!!  Love it

    Was gonna hate on this place but was pleasantly surprised. You pick your own ingredients similar to…read more5 Guys, and they have some nice Asian twists (like the green scallion aoili and kimchi relish, which I recommend) you can add that help change up the flavor, but is still distinctly a burger. The burger itself is cooked surprisingly well, though I would probably go with the classic brioche bun next time rather than their suggested sourdough (felt more like a toasted sandwich) bread. They also have a daily math problem that you can solve for some candy which is literally so Asian -_- brings me back to high school math class

    I was extremely excited to give this place a shot and, after failing to try it about a month ago…read moredue to them being out of falafel patties, I finally got to try it this past weekend and honestly I was very much underwhelmed (I even called before going to make sure they hadn't run out of falafel patties this time). To start off with a positive, I thought the falafel patty had a really great taste and was absolutely the highlight of the burger. But outside of that the burger and the toppings I ordered just didn't work as well as I would've liked. I ordered my burger with mushrooms and sauteed onions, both toppings I know I absolutely love from making burgers at home and from other spots, but neither added much. At first I was worried that the falafel was overpowering them both but upon eating them by themselves they just lacked taste. We also got the scallion aioli on the burger and I never got a hint of it at any point. All in all, the burger was very much mediocre outside of the patty. We also got fries with the burger and while they absolutely had some potential they were extremely over seasoned. Any appreciation for the seasonings in a vacuum was immediately overshadowed by how salty they were. We also ordered the Sambal Mayo as a dipping sauce and while it did help subdue the insane salt level and overall tasted quite good, upon writing this review I found out by looking at their online menu that it contained some amount of shrimp. This information is nowhere to be seen on the ordering slip and wasn't mentioned when I handed it over to the person working at the cash register. And while I definitely accept some level of responsibility for not doing my due diligence and asking or letting them know of my dietary restrictions, it's still an extremely frustrating thing to have happen as both a vegetarian and someone with a mild shellfish allergy. If for whatever reason the online menu is out of date or I missed an obvious indication of it containing shrimp somewhere I am more than happy to edit my review.

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.

Service was mid, and I wish the workers gave as much effort as they put on their phone to customers. We ordered to-go, yet lacked necessities like napkins & silverware for multiple meals. The patty melt burger was tasty & the tangy secret sauce leveled up the entire burger (highly recommend). The burgers are big enough to share if you are doing a burger & fries because as you can see in the photos, it is so much food, definitely paying for quantity over quality here.

There is plenty to do here. You can enjoy a cold one , you can lounge around in comfortable chairs, or you can play a game -- your choice.
