    Hippo Burger with onion rings.
    Stacey S.

    They are located in a small strip center closer to the Lyondell plant off Sheldon. You order in the back have a seat and they bring it when it's ready. The employees were friendly and helped make suggestions. Three people- everyone got burgers but different sides. Onion rings were thick slices and fried in more of a cornmeal battered. I think they would have been better is a more flaky batter. The chili cheese fries were lacking. I was just craving that "ballpark" vibe hoping this would deliver and it didn't. Idk how to make that better ‍ the regular fries, although seasoned needed more salt. Everything delivered was as ordered. Hot and fulfilling. The burgers were big and the meat patty was substantial. Not a chain burger for sure. I will return but will try the spicy crispy chicken sandwich, tator tots and the wings. I'll keep you posted The agua Fresca machine was down. But would have loved to try the Pina. Until we eat again....

    Yes, now for the 5 stars and why? Location, location. Buns upside down as usual. Spacious shopping area with enough parking. Drive-thru or Dine-in. And the outside patio, nice and Big! Big interior as well and better than the other locations I've tried. Buns on burger aren't soggy here. Noticed, they medium toast there buns to keep from being too wet in the clear container. Smartttttt. Sweet potato fries my usual, soooo good. Mushroom burger on point. And the Crispy Chicken Burger, Bussin'. They never use to have any fried Chicken Burger but now it's here and tastes so good. Guess people like me, had to mention it in the past. Burgers still Huge. No shakes this time for me. This is my favorite location now with what meets everything in a business for burgers, and what I like.

    Updated Review: (we love Hippo Burger) so we have come back several times in the last month and I have to admit. Service has improved tremendously and food is looking great! Place is still looking clean and inviting . Thank you for your continuous growth, we will definitely continue to support this business.

    If you want a good big burger go try out hippo burgers. You won't be disappointed. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger with fries and the burger is so good . I also like the buns they use so yummy. Fries are delicious and not soggy at all . Everything is freshly made. The staff is friendly and they keep the restaurant clean. I've ordered the garlic fries before and they taste great.

    This place has some good burgers! I'm so happy it's down the street from me and I don't have to make a far drive to get a nice tasting burger. *The staff that took our order were pretty nice and understood everything we wanted or didn't want on our burgers. *This location is always clean, and I love that they tend to decorate on theme for the coming holiday. *The food was fresh and hot, and came out to us fairly quick. These burgers are so good and they're pretty big! They have a great taste and are really up there on good burgers list lol The Nutella shake is so yummy too! It wasn't too thick so it was drinkable and it wasn't overly sweet but you can definitely get the Nutella taste! This is definitely a place worth trying!

    I am so glad this came to my neighborhood because my wife and I used to drive to the Humble location for burgers. Hands-down is one of the best burger places in Houston. I am glad they are trying to put their footprint down so people could taste these wonderful burgers that are homemade.

    Shoe leather disguised as a chicken sandwich.

    Burgers are decent, but if you enjoy eating shoe leather, order the Hippo chicken -- disgusting. I tried eating the chicken sandwich, but just couldn't stomach it. Store refused to refund my money which was unbelievable! I'll never return.

    Chili cheese fries gave me food poisoning. Customer service could be improved. It was empty but clean.

    The burger was decent. The shakes were good. At $50 for two burger combos & shakes I doubt I'll be back.

    Excellent fresh food and drinks every time I visit!! The wings are packed with flavor and fried to…read morepure crispy perfection! You get plenty of fresh fries or tater tots with your order as well. Pricing compared to quality of food is great. It's a whole flavor party in your mouth! Customer service is ALWAYS on point from the drink counter all the way to the kitchen staff. The owner is friendly and attentive to all the guest. He makes sure things run properly and that everyone has a smooth experience! I drive 40 minutes across town at least 3 times a week and I'm never disappointed. I've turned all of my friends and family onto this place and they all love it as well. Even in the midst of the pandemic, they have not missed a beat and are practicing safety, social distancing and employees are wearing protective gear, mask, gloves etc while handling food and interacting with customers. Don't sleep on this place. It's definitely the bomb!! I'm a customer for life!!

Unfortunately my server Asia wasn't the most welcoming or friendliest...I attempted to get information on the menu since it was my first time and she gave the impression she didn't want to be bothered. I paid for the 1 drink and hot wings I ordered and went to the Mexican restaurant nearby. She lied and said I was upset that I was "stood up" which wasn't the case but that's neither here nor there. I just won't go there...

    I visited DoDo's Chicken on Wednesday, 6/11 around 4:45 PM, excited to get the chicken and sides…read morethat I usually love. Unfortunately, this visit was disappointing for several reasons. First, I noticed that the staff handling food behind the counter were not wearing gloves. Hygiene is important, especially when preparing and serving food, and it was concerning that no one appeared to be following proper food safety practices. At that time, the rotisserie was already being cleaned, which told me they had stopped preparing fresh chicken for the day. Instead, they were serving pre-cooked chicken kept in a warmer. As expected, this made the chicken dry and hard on the outside. I ordered the 1/2 dark meat chicken with yellow rice and Tequeños. However, I was given two small leg quarters and an extra piece of white meat--which I didn't ask for--all of which were extremely dry. The portion size has noticeably decreased as well. I was also very concerned to see them using spray cleaner near the food, which poses a risk of chemical contamination. On top of that, the Tequeños were extremely dark and tasted like they had been refried, nearly burnt. Adding to the poor experience, one of the girls behind the counter was playing around and massaging her coworkers while customers were being served. That level of unprofessional behavior is not something anyone wants to see while waiting for their food. I've always liked this place for its fresh rotisserie chicken, but it feels like DoDo's has started cutting corners on both food quality and cleanliness. Paying $19.52 for this meal just didn't feel worth it.

    Terrible service and zero accountability. I placed an online order, but when I arrived, the staff…read morehad decided to close early and refused to fulfill it. Despite having my contact information, they provided no courtesy call or cancellation notice. To make matters worse, the employee was incredibly rude and disrespectful, telling me it "wasn't his problem" and that I had to come back the next day for a refund. Save your time and money--go somewhere that actually values its customers.
