This restaurant is hidden next to a gas station. They provide great and kind service with high quality ingredient. The combo meal is a must here for a satisfaction meal!

Damn I love a good burger...and this was a DAMN GOOD BURGER! We stopped while on a road trip and grabbed lunch. So glad we did! You order on a kiosk inside, easy peasy. The food was fast but didn't taste rushed at all. The patties were packed with flavor and juicy. The right amount of juicy too! Not dried out and not "wet". Just right. The sauce was "chef's kiss" and the fries were that perfectly cooked crispy on the outside and soft potato inside. So SO good! Definitely recommend if you are in the area.

Do NOT let the location fool you. Yes, it is right next to a gas station and not in the posh-est (is that a word?) neighborhood. However, it delivers on taste! There are 2 self-ordering stations at the cashier's area. You'll select your menu items, and they start working on it in the kitchen once you pay and submit your order. I appreciate the simple menu options. I got the smash burger with fried onions/shallots and my partner got the patty melt. Like most burgers and melts, it's a bit greasy. The fries are piping hot and crispy. Cajun fries are definitely spicy! It's open seating. My tiny complaint: the tables were all dirty or sticky. A suggestion would be to provide wipes/napkins if the customers are supposed to clean up after themselves...

Small little restaurant in the strip of a gas station. I thought the inside was really cute lol reminded me of GTA vice city. The person at the front was really welcoming and helpful and let me know how to order so the service was great. I love that they serve halal meat. The burger was okay! I felt like they just slapped the meat on the grill and didn't season properly but it wasn't terrible. The smack fries were decent as well, I'd probably come back and order regular fries. I'd rate them 6/10 overall

I ordered the smash burger with the grilled onions. It was tasty and priced accordingly. The fries are not great.

Little Hidden Gem! Ordering is like a kiosk, you use the screen to submit your order then its made fresh. The burger had the crispy edges, and the patty hangs far over the bun! the fry portion was top tier. Even had the nostalgia bag fries to eat. Highly recommend, and the cook was very nice and let me try the other sauces. The spicy bbq goes great with your french fries

This burger joint is pretty good! We love the staff and enjoy the ambiance here. It gets busy but everyone gets their order's accordingly. I recommend you try their burgers sometime.

Hotline - 8/10 - $9.49 - Decent burger. I didnt think the meat had much flavor tho and was also a bit burnt in my opinion. Patty melt - 7.5/10 - $9.49 - Good but i wasnt a big fan. Tasted kinda bland. Smack fries - 8/10 - $5.49 - I really like these except for the onions on top. The fries were crispy and the sauce tasted good too. Garlic parmesan fries - 8.5/10 - $3.99 - The fries were really nice and crispy. The flavor was good too but i think it was too salty for me. Hotline burger was a decent spot but i think theres better spot for burgers out there

Hudson N.

Great burger from this hole-in-the-wall gas station restaurant. Fantastic burger. It tastes like gyro/shawarma from Halal Bros (at UT Austin) combined with a smash burger. By the way, this is the best smash burger I've had and I'd give it a 9/10 simply because I'm leaving room at the top. I thought the bathroom was a bit dirty, but the kitchen looked alright from where I was standing. Not the best place to sit down and eat. Thought I should also mention the service since so many reviews are bashing them. You order through a touchscreen. I got a smile, and they prepared my burger in under five minutes, so I'm happy.

Brett N.

Why 5 stars? Because this is probably the best smash burger I've ever had. --- --- --- Smash burgers are all the rage, but I have not fully bought into them. I've had some good ones, and some meh ones. But THIS one was as good as it gets. If you like Cane's sauce, you will love Smack Sauce. It really is the perfect condiment. And when paired with a perfectly cooked smashed patty, it's hard to imagine a better lunch. I also ordered some smack fries, which are loaded with a bunch of stuff, including the aforementioned smack (crack) sauce. Guess what? They were also amazing. The only bad thing about the meal is that I felt like I could have eaten literally twice as much. Part of that was because the burger wasn't very big, and part of it was that it was so amazing that I didn't want it to end. It's located in a parking lot with a gas station. When we walked in, there were no people inside, including employees. Well, the employees were in the back. There were two iPads set up for customers to order on, so you don't even interact with anyone until someone comes out with your food. Honestly, it's probably that way, as it's on you to put your order in right and the business doesn't have to pay for a cashier. I live nowhere near here and have never been in this area before, so I will probably not be back, but that's only because of geography. If this was anywhere near my house, I would be a regular customer for sure!

Alice H.

Just updating to note it's not a Shell station (anymore) but it is a gas station. One of the random ones (not one of the major ones). And it's not in the gas station but attached in that same little building complex with its own wall. Regardless, after eating here multiple times, confirming the quality is still top notch. Mmm those fries are fried so perfectly and the flavor/cook on the burger - top notch!

Toni S.

Touring Houston and needed lunch so I checked Yelp, of course! Hotline had great ratings so we took a detour and we're not disappointed. If you like smash burgers you will love these. There is a guy waiting to explain the kiosks if it's your first time. He was really nice and the kiosks was self explanatory. Loved the substitutions. They are on the end of a gas station next to the car wash. There is eating inside and a large TV. It looked clean. Hubby got the patty melt and he said it was really good. They are large! I got the classic without cheese, onion, and pickles. We paid about $20 for both sandwiches. Next time we will try the fries. Try them out when you are in Houston.

These are smash burgers. Personally, I don't like them very much but this place seems to season well and has good ingredients. Definitely not my first choice but it's not bad for what it is. If you like smash burgers then this is the place for you. If you don't like them, then this place is still pretty good anyway. read more

I've been following hotline burger on instagram for years and decided i'd finally give it a try today. My girlfriend and I drove in from the woodlands (about a 45 minute drive) and it was so worth it. I love how they actually smash their patties. Smashburger wishes they could do it like hotline. The burgers dont feature lettuce or tomato but they dont need it, the smash sauce and grilled onion bring out the burger's flavors so well you dont need any extra toppings or condiments. The smash fries were also amazing, they were crispy and gooey at the same time. 10/10 experience definitely worth the trip. read more

Place has decent burgers. Setting is decent inside but it's a cruddy hole on the outside. It's in a shopping plaza right out of a gas station. An island of crappiness in an otherwise upscale-ish area. Ordering is extremely easy and burgers are out quickly. Very satisfied with that. You order on a large tablet and then place your card for payment. No cash is accepted. I appreciate the lean and mean staffing model. The technology makes it convenient to order. I do wish delivery and phone in orders were accepted, but it is forgivable. Deducting 1.5 stars: both my visits here they didn't follow instructions correctly. No grilled onions, but chopped onions. Had two burgers on the second time that were identical orders. I think that should be easy enough to follow. They had grilled onions and not chopped onions on both. Update 11/06/22: Owner invited me to tour the restaurant facilities and give feedback. Had a very positive and entertaining conversation, and watched preparation of comped meal live. Owner explained the preparation methods, the ethos and choices behind and within the operation and went into fine detail regarding preparation and suppliers, taste, and general ops. I am extremely pleased and am updating my score to a solid five stars. Owner is environmentally conscious and highly detailed, diligent. I respect it greatly. I was also given a chance to review my orders and I admit that I made some incorrect/erroneous complaints. The information I gained and the quality of the product are truly worth it. I see myself becoming a frequent customer. Excellent burger and fries. read more

We'll I have to say, Hotline burger brought it ladies and gentlemen. I was looking for a quick bite and yelp led me their. I was greeted by a very attentive employee or owner, not sure but he was really helpful. He gave us the rundown after he found out it was our first time. The menu is simple, about six burgers and 4 fry options. You order on the screen and pay right there. NO CASH!!!! So bring a card or Apple Pay. Food comes out fast. It was 10 minutes or less even. I got the Hotline burger and regular fries. My wife and son both had the Jr patty melt. With ranch fries. All of the food is made to order so I was impressed. We ate it in the truck right there in the parking lot. I'll tell you, it was one of the best burgers I've had, including trill burger!!! There's no hype around it just good flavors. It was rich yet balanced. The smack sauce is good. Reminds me of the sauce on yoyo's hot dogs. My son and wife are still talking about it. Great burger, one of Houston's best. Check them out. Definitely worth the drive and time. Great Job Hotline burger. read more

It's a hole in the wall for now but I don't expect it to stay that way for long. Their take on a smash burger is different from others-- crispier than Smashburger, and tastier than Whataburger alternatives. All the ingredients are premium. The 80s Miami Vice-themed storefront and low brow packaging gives the place a unique vibe that aligns with how damn good the burgers are. Their small menu guarantees you can't make a wrong decision. Also their fries seem to get crispier as the meal goes on. Still trying to figure out how they accomplished that. read more

The burgers and fries at Hotline are AMAZING. The patties are thin and have the perfect level of crispness to them, so they balance really well with the rest of the burger.

Hotline Burger specializes in a simple menu featuring smash burgers with crispy beef patties and fries.

History

Established in 2019.

Hotline Burger began in the Summer of 2019 as a nameless pop up serving SoCal style smash burgers at bars and breweries. We took the positive feedback and turned it into a food hall space in Downtown Houston in 2020. Once the pandemic broke out, we were no longer able to sustain our position through the next year and decided to not renew our stand. Fast forward to 2021, we found an opportunity to sign 2 new locations. HWY 6 being our first brick and mortar (HWY 6 & Briar Forest), and Hotline Burger 2 located in Chinatown (Bellaire Blvd. & Gessner Rd.)

And it did not disappoint. The Bloody Mary's were perfect, snd we started with the watermelon salad and avocado citrus mix appetizers - very refreshing. We had a mix of breakfast and lunch items - all delicious. Waitstaff was very attentive and personable. Because of our lovely humid weather, we sat inside, but patio would be nice also - it's covered and they have fans. Free garage parking is just around the corner from the restaurant, and I would recommend reservations on weekends/holidays. Next up, reservations with my girl gang for the group breakfast board..stay tuned.

I asked for the three meat burrito and then she asked me what meats. I was confused and said one sausage and one bacon, so pay attention to what you're ordering. That being said, both tacos were really good. The person eating with me had the two egg plate, eggs cooked perfectly over medium, bacon crispy, and papa's were pretty crispy too, with toast. Worth the stop for sure.

Be careful though, it's only the bruschetta not the other boards. For us it was fine. For another couple at our table they felt they got screwed over. The place has a nice vibe. The bruschetta board itself was nice. I enjoyed it. But not worth $17 normally to me.

The hostess and server were both great, service was quick and the meal portions were both big as well as satisfying.

Good spot for food, drinks and gatherings…read more Service and atmosphere: Service was okay. Our server was not too attentive. Had to ask another server for refills. The restaurant on the other hand looks great. Modern, contemporary and lofty designs and decor makes it stand out. Food and drinks: Very good in both areas. The food ordered was very flavourful, well seasoned and balanced. Ingredients were fresh and had good texture post cooking process. The restaurant offers really good selection of cocktails. Definitely recommend to try their creations. Pricing: $$ - standard prices and well justo for quality of food served.

As I understood it from the people working at the deli bar, this restaurant has been open for about…read morea year and a half and frankly I'm very sorry that it is taking me this long to find it. However, it's well worth the stop by. The food is simply wonderful. I had butternut squash soup, which was marvelous really marvelous as if it were homemade. I also had a Desi pizza which was quite good. Shock full of ingredients all of which were well seasoned and the sauce that was absolutely wonderful. It's really a much larger place than it appears when you first approach it there's plenty of room for seating and it's very well capped. The ambience is very simple but tasteful. It's a must visit if you're in the area of parked 10 on the west side of town. Let me just say this at last there were two people who were there during the lunch hour, and they were inordinately, efficient and friendly. It's a wonderful experience.

They had TOOO many options to choose from. The inside is so cute and adorable- people were working from there which was nice. The service was great- the ladies working were so sweet and accommodating. They gave use recs and it was nice. We got the pastrami royale (14.99$) and the mahanattan melt (12.99$) and both were delicious. They were made fresh in front of you and you could personalize and add more topping if you wanted any. I love how they display the meats on a baking sheet which is so aesthetic. So incredibly flavorful and delicious. And the presentation was just wow!! I would highly recommend if you're in the area

Hotline Burger is a top-notch restaurant that's perfect for burger enthusiasts. The service was exceptional, and the food was fantastic. I ordered the Hotline Burger, and it was cooked to perfection. The burger was crispy, flavorful, and exactly what I was craving. Additionally, I also ordered the Smack Fries with added beef bacon, and they were out of this world! The bacon was crispy and savory, adding an extra layer of flavor to the already delicious fries. I appreciated the cleanliness of the restaurant as well, as it added to the overall pleasant dining experience. If you're in the mood for a mouthwatering burger and excellent service, look no further than Hotline Burger. Highly recommend! read more

Hotline Burger is my go-to when I'm craving a smash burger, even though I said I wouldn't come back for a while! It's a great addition to the area with fast service and easy ordering through their app. The burgers are juicy and flavorful, hitting the spot every time. Just a heads-up the drink options are limited to Sprite, Coke, and water, but the food definitely makes up for it. read more
