No matter the location, Hubcap Grill just never seems to disappoint. In fact, these guys make one of the best burgers in greater Houston. The atmosphere here is typical of the Strand. Tall ceilings, dark woods and an eclectic mix of chandeliers and wall tchotchkes, hubcaps and automobile grills notwithstanding. It's fun. Service here is friendly and efficient, just like the other locations. The burgers are made to order and seem to be constructed with top quality ingredients. Though the Tamale Burger is one of my all-time faves, the Carnivore also brings me great culinary joy, as it combines a delicious burger and a beefy hot dog. Pure Americana. By the way, the pickles here are top notch. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants located on The Strand. Their Greek fries alone will keep me coming back time and time again. This establishment is open seating and then you'll order at the bar. Everyone is super friendly and the food came out pretty quick. My food though was phenomenal! Seriously order the Greek Fries! The fries are hand cut and fried to perfection. The burger was great too! It tasted fresh and was loaded with all the condiments! There's really no going wrong with this place. read more

The food was awful I got the tender basket and they were the worst. My tenders looked like they were left out over night and then fried up because the edges were over cooked and the middle was slightly cooked and the fries were stuck together. For $18.99 not worth it. I stick to the one in Santa Fe. read more

This was our second time at Hubcap Grill. The first time was amazing so decided to come back. The restaurant was very busy with a large group. I decided on the mushroom Swiss burger. I got onion rings for my side. The burger was good but not great. The onion rings were great. They had a lot of flavor and the batter was crispy. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting Galveston. read more

Burgers are unique and delicious. I had one with chili, cheese sauce, and Fritos corn chips and it was amazing. Kids had the biggest chicken tenders you've ever seen. Hubs had tamale burger with avocado. It's basically a bar, Friday night at 7pm they had a guy singing and playing guitar and it was a bit too loud for a family, but once the food came we didn't care, it was so good. read more

Hubby and I were in Galveston and stopped here for lunch. It wasn't crowded at all which kept it nice and quiet. I had the grilled mushroom and Swiss chicken sandwich. The flavors were great, I just wish the chicken breast was a little bigger. Hubby had the craw dog. He really enjoyed that. We ordered a side of Greek fries to share, and for the price there could've been more fries. Think of the times you've ever ordered a hamburger and fries and your plate had more fries than you can eat (sometimes ). So having to pay extra for them I felt there should have been a little more. There is no table service. You order your food at the bar and a server brings it to you. Might give it another try. read more

I've only ever been to Hubcap one other time and it was in downtown Houston. The two did not seem the same like the same place to me. I ordered a Hatch Chili burger. My favorite thing about it was actually the bun. Good tasty bun. But unfortunately it was too large for the burger patty. The burger patty could have been bigger (thicker and larger diameter), but the flavor of the entire burger was there (but a little dry). So I give credit for that. I was craving a big juicy burger, and didn't get that. But the hatch probably tied it all together. I did have them modify it by adding the standard burger toppings. I also ordered regular fries and some onion rings to share. The fries were not hot, so that kind of killed it for me. But they are similar to Five Guys fries, with the skin on. Big fan of the skin so that was a plus. For onion rings I usually only like to eat 2 or 3 as a full order for myself is usually too much. These were so good I think I had at least 4. Big thick cut rings. Fried perfectly. And they were hot. My dad ordered the TX BBQ Burger and he said it was great. Really tasty! Service it order at the bar, they give you a number to put on your table, and they deliver. So no issues there. The ambiance is cool. Dark woods. There were a few TVs. And plenty of seating. Great AC as well. Wasn't needed today, but on a hot day, this place will cool you down for sure! read more

This place was kinda disappointing, the staff was pretty dry and rude. We came on a Sunday morning during a Mardi Gras parade and it was empty and the man taking our order was pretty grumpy. I subbed the cheese in my burger and they got it wrong, didn't give me any fries but sure as hell charged me for them so I had to get up and ask for them. The burger wasn't great either, I didn't really enjoy the taste. But their fries were pretty good. The place has like an old vibe to it lol it's cozy but smells a little weird. read more

I've been looking for my favorite burger in Galveston. We walked in, and Willy was working. He told me that I had just found it. He was not kidding. It was a juicy, homemade patty, and perfectly seasoned. I felt like the drink prices were a bit steep for well drinks, but, the service, food and atmosphere were incredible. Awesome daily specials, too!!! read more

The Hubcap grill came highly recommended by two old friends who happen to live in the area.  Neither of my two dining companions were huge fans of burgers, but seeing what the specialty here is, we all ordered some kind of burger.  We were all blown away by the taste and overall quality of our meal! Tip: Portion sizes here are decidedly large.  I considered getting a double, but when our meal came I was very glad that I didn't. Over and above the burgers, the fries they serve here are fried to a perfect golden brown and salted with the exact quality that makes spuds taste better.  The fries are large cut, and instantly addictive :-) read more

A friend roared about this place and said we should go, so we went. Right from upon my entrance I was awwwwwwed by the ambience encased by four walls. Everywhere I turned to look, I was encased with the object I was looking at. Just freaking awesome decor, pure genius. The details were uniquely thought of and the execution of each placement, perfect. This is a must experience. The chandelier- the ball shaped light fixture is one of my favorites. My favorite is the church benches! WOW, it took me back to memorable experiences, going to church with my Dearest Grandmother in Ferriday. I noticed them after we sat down by the huge windows facing the Strand. Baby, the very next time I go, I am sitting on a church bench. O' and the benches serve to purposes. They form a wall/per say and seating. Just perfect... Grab a menu from a small table up front and seat yourself. Orders are placed at the bar and the food is delivered to your table. For pick up orders, there's a sign hanging that reads order pick with an arrow facing down. To the right of that sign is the most comfortable serene space to wait for your food. Another very-well intricate piece of the mastermind behind the interior design. The opulence of hubcaps and car grills. I am talking classics here. The WOW factor here. There is beautiful artwork for sell. Be prepared to pay an high end amount, that's how lovely it is. They serve locally brewed soda and beer. My son ordered a root beer soda. It taste so good. I ordered the Hurricane. It was served with a slice of orange and lime, a cherry, and a cute lil umbrella, served in a huge glass. The taste was on point... The Food YumYum \( /\ /\)/ I ordered the Philly cheesesteak burger. Baby, I was not disappointed at all. It was huge and dripping with goodness(cheese and meat on top). I took one bite and had a calgon moment. It was D' Lish! The patty was perfectly cooked, perfect. I enjoyed every bite. I was full after three bites. D that was a good A burger. Uhm Uhm Uhm Customer service was good. The bartender was singing; I was singing and vibing right along with him. O and on the smaller screen TV, they were playing a good old classic movie with subtext, with soft music playing in the background. I rank this place the #1 eat and chill spot on the island. Y'all come through- you will not be disappointed. Peace read more

Spending the weekend in Galveston and stumbled upon this little burger joint. The vibe and decor is on point here but the Customer service is definitely lacking. The food was good but not for the price point in my opinion. I definitely think the issue with this place is management. The menu is perfect but the execution and lack of customer service is what left me feeling a bit disappointed. read more

Fascinating restaurant on the Strand, with a delicious hamburger and wonderful workers! I would definitely come back again!

My wife was down at the Strand today decided to have lunch at the hubcap Grill on my recommendation She ordered the nachos. There was eight people inside half of them got up and left 25 minutes later they brought her out cold nastiness. She took it right up and got her money back. She thinks there was only one person in the whole place that is kind of sad that poor guy. i've never seen brisket nachos look like this. read more

That was fun. We all had a burger. And we all agreed it was delicious AND yummy!! Thanks Willie for an altogether fun evening. read more

Hubcap grill is always a must have while visiting Galveston. We have been going to Hubcap for years and always enjoy their food. Their burgers are a must have. I always buy their Hubcap decker which is made up of two buger patties but since I like a huge burger I ask for a third patty to be added. This makes the burger huge. The staff are very nice and the restaurant is very clean. If you are ever looking for a great burger look no further Hubcap Grill is always the first stop for us. Thank you as always. read more

Just like a hubcap that has came off the wheel... this place is terrible. The service and food was terrible, the manager/owner seemed high as a kite, the burger patty was 1/4 the bun size, the lettuce was soured. The hot dog was burnt on outside and cold in the middle. read more

We came here on a Monday evening. Not much going on on the Strand so we were happy it was not crowded. I ordered the mushroom Swiss burger, and it was delicious. The meat was cooked perfectly for me... Pink in the center... And the flavor of the meat with all the toppings just blended so well making it delicious. My husband went out on a limb and got the peanut butter bacon burger. He loves peanut butter and bacon sandwiches so thought he might enjoy this. He said it was good, but the peanut butter just overwhelmed the beef and he couldn't taste the flavor of the meat . We shared an order of regular fries, and they were very good... Cooked perfectly. Probably won't opt for that peanut butter burger next time. The key words are next time though, because we will be back for something different. I do have to add though that the service here was lacking. There was one man working, taking orders at the bar and delivering the food to the table. I understand the reasoning behind that I guess but no one ever asked if our food was good. There was also a strange smell, as if they had just been cleaning the restaurant, but they were cleaning it with a dirty rag, kind of a mildewy smell. Not so sure about that, and hence the four stars. They did have live music while we were there. A gentlemen was playing guitar and singing. That was enjoyable. So, to sum it up, my food was very good and I think if my husband orders some thing else next time his will be good. So, we will be back. read more

As my friends and I were walking to the restaurant, there was live music playing and it really help set the mood. People were here chatting and enjoying a night out. As we were ordering, my friends was deciding on what to order for her drinks and they offer her some samples. I end up ordering the chili cheese fries and cheesy Cheetos burger. Both of these are were very yummy. The burger was juicy and delicious and the price was not that expensive for what you are paying for. read more

I had a taste for a burger and decided to go back to Hubcap Grill. I ordered the basic cheeseburger. Kristina took my order and offered me some water to drink while I waited for my to-go order.

Food was okay, but the lack of attention to service was the main issue. Poor service = will never visit again.

Waited over an hour on our food that they "lost" ... wasn't busy at all. We tried to be patient and kind. They brought the food out, it was MID at best. We still paid OVER $100. Which is crazy to me. I've been in the service industry my whole life. I do NOT recommend the service here at all. If you make a mistake.. do something about it. A free soda, comp ONE of our burgers. But I am not over exaggerating when we say they LOST our food, for AN HOUR.. (with maybe 2 other tables in the restaurant) and still paid over $100 for our meal. Very disappointed. We love to support local businesses AND we love Galveston & the strand. Very disappointed! read more

The service was fast and friendly. Burgers were delicious, and great atmosphere. Really enjoyed it!

The service was excellent but the food was lacking. The onion rings were cold & greasy. The waiter brought us a new batch and they were good. My burger did not taste good and when I looked at the meat it was charred beyond recognition. At this point I wanted out, a/c was barely working and it had to be 84 degrees. Will not be back. It was a horrible experience read more

I don't know where to start raving about this place. Between the most delicious burger I've had in a long time and the amazing beer selection this place is amazing!

They are life changing. read more

A slow day on the Strand, but Mom & I needed a drink and a bite. I was afraid that the small kitchen might not be up to it on a slow day like this, but the burger and onion rings hit the spot. Mom's margarita was perfect, and the tender's beer rec was on the spot for a slow afternoon. Very kitschy decor, perfect for Galveston roughneck vibe. The bar man was friendly and laidback. This cook was helpful and solicitous. read more

I've been meaning to come to the place and I'm happy I finally did! Seating: Open seating, seat yourself. Once you're ready to order you go to the bar Drinks: No fountain drinks But water and tea is set out. Great addition Menu/ Pricing: The burgers are priced without fries, but they range from $8-$13. Considering the size of the burgers, it's well worth it! Regular Fries were not so regular! I mean this in a good way. Can't compare too fast food, they taste completely different. I ordered the philly cheese steak and it was delicious Location: 5 Right on the strand with a peaceful view. Customer service: The last Talking or order was patient and kind. I would most definitely recommend this place! There was nothing to complain about. 2 burgers, 1 sprite, 1 water, + fries came out to around $35 This place is a must visit!! read more

Most may overlook this sandwich, don't! It was amazing! My wife had the Black & Blue burger. We shared their bacon cheese fries. My daughter had cheese burger and fries. There were no sandwich leftovers, just some fries. I had a Four Roses old fashioned and my wife had their Rum Punch. Come and check them out! read more

My husband and I ate there for lunch on a Thursday. Although it wasn't very busy, the food was slow to come out. We ordered a jalapeño cheeseburger, sweet potato fries and some jalapeño poppers, to split. When the food came out, the hamburger patty was burnt! I asked for them to redo it. When they brought the second burger, it was cooked better but all except 2 of my jalapeños remained on the burger. In addition, the guacamole, that I paid extra for, was a small smear on the bun. The hamburger was not flavorful and the bun was dry and crusty! It was 1pm and I hadn't had anything to eat all day, otherwise I would have returned it and asked for my money back. The jalapeño poppers were bland and not worth eating. The only good thing were the sweet potato fries. However, I won't return just for their fries and I wouldn't recommend this place! read more
