    Bacon avocado burger combo
    Chee Keat F.

    This is a burger joint with simple but tasteful interior. You place your order up front and the staff will bring it to you when it's ready. The burgers are huge, juicy and delicious. It's mostly standard fare - not many creative options - though they do have a double-patty burger called the 'Crazy Burger'. A burger with the combo easily hits US$15+. That's the only thing that prevents us from coming back frequently.

    AVOCADO BURGER
 Certified Angus Beef®, avocado, (with or without) cheese, mayonnaise, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and onions

    Im glad this place doesn't... On my recent visit [01/05/24], I was reminded why I highly recommend this place. The location isn't important as it's easy to miss if you're not actively looking for it. The service was decent, just as I expected, but let's focus on the food. I always order the "AVOCADO BURGER" whenever I visit, but this time I decided to try the FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH while my friend went for the DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER. In the interest of reviewing both, we split the sandwiches. I let my friend take the first bite so I could see her reaction, and she was so impressed that she couldn't help but dance in her seat. The standout feature of this restaurant is that they actually season their meat, which may seem obvious, but it sets them apart from the rest. The chicken sandwich was also delicious, but I felt there was not enough chicken compared to the amount of fried skin. Despite that, I will be back again and again as I work nearby. I just wish there were more locations in the northern part of Houston. Im also glad that management improved the scent of JLB, now I can 100% recommend it. Sadly the pictures are from a previous time so you guys get to see my favorite burger - AVOCADO BURGER - Certified Angus Beef®, avocado, with cheese, mayonnaise, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and onions. Update I did get a picture lol

    Buffalo Ranch Chicken Wrap Combo

    The food was good and I didn't even have to ask them to cut it in half for me , the wrap was nicely wrapped too The service was nice really friendly

    Chicken strips

    After years of eating at JLB, I've felt the inflation in their menu, especially since Covid. . Also I've noticed that some branches are called joy love burgers while others are called JLB eatery like this one. Im not sure what the difference is. Sadly, I've stopped going to JLB eatery as it's become too expensive. Last trip which has been a while, we ordered the Buffalo ranch chicken sandwich meal and a fried fish meal and a chicken strip meal. Our items were good in taste and flavor but just not appealing enough to return. The buns in their burgers n sandwiches are home made every day and it's one of the best I've had.

    Whatever it's called, the burger with the beef patty and chicken patty together, GET IT. Eat it in one sitting or take the rest home, it's still gonna be good. And the fries. Get those fries y'all. Portion sizes are huge and worth the wait!

    Was gonna hate on this place but was pleasantly surprised. You pick your own ingredients similar to…read more5 Guys, and they have some nice Asian twists (like the green scallion aoili and kimchi relish, which I recommend) you can add that help change up the flavor, but is still distinctly a burger. The burger itself is cooked surprisingly well, though I would probably go with the classic brioche bun next time rather than their suggested sourdough (felt more like a toasted sandwich) bread. They also have a daily math problem that you can solve for some candy which is literally so Asian -_- brings me back to high school math class

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.

I went with the Double Good Burger at Johnny Good Burger, and honestly... it was surprisingly good. Perfectly smashed patties with those crispy edges, juicy inside, and well-balanced flavors that didn't feel overcomplicated. Sometimes simple just works--and this definitely did. The fries deserve their own shoutout: extra crispy, hot, and downright addictive. No soggy sadness here. I kept telling myself "just one more" until the tray was mysteriously empty. All in all, a very satisfying burger experience. If you're in the mood for a legit smash burger and happen to be wandering POST Houston, this one's absolutely worth stopping for.

Service was mid, and I wish the workers gave as much effort as they put on their phone to customers. We ordered to-go, yet lacked necessities like napkins & silverware for multiple meals. The patty melt burger was tasty & the tangy secret sauce leveled up the entire burger (highly recommend). The burgers are big enough to share if you are doing a burger & fries because as you can see in the photos, it is so much food, definitely paying for quantity over quality here.
