Avocado Burger w/ Sweet Potato Fries
Alexus N.

One word: BIG. Big burgers! Lol. It was one of those days where I was craving a nice juicy burger. I ordered the avocado burger with sweet potato fries for pickup. Though I love sweet potato fries, the amount of fries I received for the substitution charge wasn't justified (+$3.33 up-charge on DoorDash). It was a good burger, but it didn't "wow" me. The portion of the burger could be shared amongst 2 people. I didn't dine in, but when I arrived to pickup the order, the interior was neat and clean. The cashier spoke very little and gave me a cup for the fountain soda that came with my meal combo. I would highly recommend you bring all your burger lovin' friends here!

Wow what a great place for a burger. Coincidentally located catty corner to a Whataburger across the street. But I came here at eight and all I can say is "what a burger". First of all the patties are hand pressed, from what appears to be some very high-quality Angus beef. I foolishly ordered a double, and it was delicious but I was forced to get a box to take the rest of it home. And I ordered it without fries and it was still just too much to eat at one setting. Thousand Island dressing was a nice touch as well, and it was loaded down with tomatoes onions pickles and lettuce. I also ordered bacon but unless it's Wright Brand bacon folks it's just not that good. (I'm sorry I'm just a bacon snob) as with any hamburger, the bond is half of the experience, then they've got great fresh buns. What are the best things is unlike McDonald's for instance where you get two pickles and that's it ! Here they put plenty of pickles on the sandwich. (my wife said the pickle to meat ratio was proper) I don't get to this part of

Wow. Huge burger. I think the patties are 1/3 pound. I always get a double cheeseburger but only needed a single patty here! The burger tasted great, fries were great as well. Very good for a fried burger. The burger came out quickly and the service was prompt and friendly. The store had plenty of searing and enjoyed the normal music playing. I really enjoyed the burger and would recommend it.

Crazy Burger
Don R.

Finally had a chance to stop in here earlier today for a meal. I grabbed the crazy burger with fries. Clearly I underestimated the size of the crazy burger, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten the fries. That burger was HUGE which I loved but let's get to the mechanics of the burger itself and how it stacks up as a burger. Let's start with the patties themselves. Good cut of meat, balanced fat and lean; they were just fatty enough to chew into easily and yet not too fatty so that they held form while eating, near perfection. Personally, I think they could've been seasoned a little better; nothing really popped in my mouth. On to the condiments. Good but again, nothing spectacular. Maybe a tad more sauce or a stronger cheese. Also, because of how the condiments were arranged, my tomato kept sliding out. Bun was great, soft and lightly toasted. So the burger was good, tender meat, good size, soft bun; but it was missing the "wow" factor for me to put it up there with some of the greats I've had in my life. Fries were really good. Well seasoned, soft with a nice crunch.

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.

First, the parking lot entrance is blink and you'll miss it, tucked narrowly between the carwash and the cafe on Washington, but parking is surprisingly ample. The husband and wife owners are lovely people. The inside is very comfortable with a very old world cafe ambiance. The burger and fries are clearly made to order and incredibly well made. The burger was nicely seasoned and perfectly cooked, the vegetables were fresh and crisp, the burger sauce was really nice without being cloying or overpowering, and the bun was nice and soft. The fries were those nice, thick, crispy on the outside soft on the inside diner style seasoned fries. The pastry offerings, which I was told the wife bakes herself, look excellent as well, as do all of the coffee drinks. I'm very excited to come back and try their cafe offerings.

The burger itself looked like a burger you'd find at many places, but the flavor was "elevated." The burger was made to order and did take a few minutes to come out, but was worth the wait! 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. If you're in the Washington / Heights / downtown area, this place is worth a visit. (They also have parking.)

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.
