    Zydeco Night
    Aurelia A.

    We were looking for a place to enjoy some Zydeco music and was told about this place. Arrive early..Parking is treacherous, it gets crowded very fast. We had to sit in the back no big deal however squeezing your way through the bar is another story. It is a kid/family atmosphere and although I enjoy family time this would not be my first selection to bring children although there were plenty there. We did try the wings which were pretty good overall if you enjoy Zydeco and dont mind partying with childre. I would recommend

    Sizzling Fajitas (Combo)

    Tried something new while in Houston. Was quite disappointed. The chicken and beef were flavorful, but dry. The rice and charro beans were bland. The Sunkist soda a was refreshing. I liked the retro arcade games here. Plenty of TVs to watch events. The staff were friendly. Plenty of Texas decor to go around! If I return, I'll have to try something else on the menu.

    Good food. Fast service Live music. Fun place to celebrate with family and friends.

    Chips and Queso

    Love this location! It's definitely a chill and laid back place. Order at the counter and come get your food when the buzzer goes off. Food is good! I order queso and chips- yummy! Menu said blanco but it looked more yellow to me ?? I also ordered the stuffed potato with steak fajita. I forgot to take a pic because I was so hungry, but it had a mound of meat on top!! Tender potato, definitely a good value!

    Location: N shepherd Parking: plenty, also street parking Staff: nice and helpful Seating: I went for an Airbnb event and it was very well organized on the outside. Plenty of seating Drink: ice tea was well sugar Food: salad and wings , well seasoned and cooked Event felt private, having coverage but also plenty of opening to enjoy the fresh air. Food was well seasoned and cooked.

    Salmon, steamed veggies and rice. All for $17.95. Great value and taste.

    The salmon and 2 sides for 17.95 and tasty!! Lots of fried food, but value and taste is why we come there.

    Country fried chicken. It was moist could use a bit more flavor.

    Great place with great vibes. I would say it's a great place to take a date or go with a group of adult friends. It may be too noisy for kids but if your kids do well with noise then all good. But the noise could just be at night, not sure about daytime. Food wasn't that bad but wasn't the greatest. It was comfort food. It gave that home cooked meal type feels or atleast what I had did. Maybe I'll try something different next time. I had the chicken fried chicken with fries. You order at the counter and they call your number to pick up. So no waiters or waitresses but there are workers who walk by to get dirty plates etc.

    Pretty unimpressed. The inside was dingy and dirty and the food was very mediocre. It made me nauseous for the rest of the night

    A great burger spot coming from someone who doesn't eat lots of burgers so take that how you'd like…read more When you walk in you take a clipboard to customize your selection (beef burger, turkey burger, fish, etc.) and then take that to the register to pay. I had opted for a beef burger with a side of chili cheese tater tots to share. The burger is quite large and filled generously with whatever add-ins you check off so it was very filling for me. I went with two 2oz patties, but considering the size, I'd opt for a single 2 oz patty if I go back. For my burger I also added scallion aioli which didn't have a strong green onion flavor but was still nice and added creaminess to the burger overall. The tater tots were super crispy, and the chili cheese topping was nice. I had gone shortly after they opened and it wasn't super busy but it started to quickly fill up around 11:30-12. Decent amount of tables and good parking situation outside

    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.

    Champ Burger is an EaDo staple that I finally had the opportunity to check out for lunch. Coming on…read morea Mon at 1230pm, this place was packed! Love seeing the lunch rush though because you know it's gonna be good. Ambiance wise, this place is very chill. No indoor area, just order at the counter, get 1 of their outdoor patio tables or take it to go. There was a line to order, but service was very fast. Burger wise, this place is just a well executed classic burger. Big, juicy, fresh toppings, honestly nothing to complain about. The onion rings were some of the best that I've had recently, and I ordered their "Texas size steak sandwich" to go as well for dinner, very filling. I'm so glad I finally took the time to try out this EaDo gem. I understand why they've been a Houston burger staple for so long now. I'll definitely be adding this place to the list in my burger rotation, enjoy!

After trying a number of different burger spots it definitely wanted to come here again and make sure that it was living up to my previous experience. Just happened to get there at the right time there was nobody waiting and as soon as I placed my order and grabbed a seat, I turned around, and there was a line of approximately 20 people waiting to order. The seating is all alfresco. I ordered a steak sandwich with fries and a drink. The fried steak was tender and moist and the fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The service was friendly and helpful, answered all questions.
