    Fried Chicken Sandwich Combo
    Ciara R.

    Soft juicy floured fried chicken. You get two big pieces. It's filling without that heavy feeling. The bun...wow So fresh. The place is clean and the employees are nice.

    Staff was fast and friendly. There are many choices. I went with the English style fish and chips which was ok and the portions were large. The restroom was at the gas station in the same building which was a little off putting.

    Crazy Burger Combo
    Chef Paul P.

    Absolutely Amazing‼ I discovered JLB Eatery while shopping, and I've been enamored ever since that first glorious bite! The restaurant boasts a clean and inviting atmosphere, although the cashier seemed a bit preoccupied with his cellphone. The menu might feel a bit scattered, but trust me--the burger is the true star of the show! The Crazy Burger is my personal favorite, always cooked to perfection. If you're on the hunt for the best burger in Texas, look no further than JLB Eatery! While I wasn't impressed with the fish--it had a very strong odor--the homemade buns are out of this world, and the fries are simply irresistible. Don't miss this gem!

    We have tried JLB a handful of times and try to support local small businesses as much as possible. The deep fried jumbo chicken wings were made to order, crispy crunchy and piping hot. However, the Korean Sweet and Spicy sauce tasted like American barbecue sauce with a slight tangy spicy kick to it. The quality of the chicken wings were pretty good, very little cooked blood - no broken bones - little fat under the skin. Unfortunately, the hamburger meat was overcooked and super dry. While we waited for our orders, the owner-operator offered us deep fried Oreos. The decor of the restaurant is nice. However, I did not see a public restroom. Would like to see daily or weekday lunch specials or dinner specials.

    Burger with everything on it. Huge!

    Had low expectations based on "judging a book by its cover." Lots of these locations in the area, and located next to a gas station. Okaaay. Service was fine. Wait time for food was fine. The burgers came HUGE. Like bigger than my face!! Easily shareable. But into the burger and...omg. It was good!! The bun was almost like a flaky buttery croissant. Tons of Mayo made it super juicy. The veggies seemed fresh and crispy. Lots of pickles. Yum! The onions rings were like super freshly fried, and tasted like from the state fair (meaning, one of those foods you crave, and can only find it at the fair, so you wait all year to go back and get it). Not afraid to come back. Ha! Give it a try!

    Bacon Cheeseburger

    Came here for the first time. Super casual cute atmosphere. The menu looked great but I went with a bacon cheese burger. It was SO good and HUGE. I couldn't finish it. The fries were to die for - finished those LOL. I would definitely come back.

    KATY, TX / BURGERS, FRIED CHICKEN, FISH & CHIPS / 06-18-22 / TAKEOUT DINNER +Made-to-order comfort food. +The chicken tenders combo (13.95) was huge and well-seasoned. Super crispy and juicy. +Very excellent customer service. They were giving out Deep Fried Oreos for Father's Day weekend. Grace was nice, energetic and super friendly. +The toasted bread is nice 'n' fluffy, similar to the milk bread you find at Korean bakeries. +They have funnel cake fries. -The hot wings combo (15.95) was breaded :( They got really soggy by the time I got home. Overall, I would go back to try some more dishes, since it's so close to home. Go check them out and give them some Yelp love y'all!

    Bacon Avocado Chicken Burger
    Chelsea N.

    The burgers here are MASSIVE. You definitely get your bang for your buck here. We got the bacon avocado chicken burger and bbq burger with tater tots. The tater tots were very crispy! The burgers were a bit difficult to hold up and eat since they're so massive but that is a problem I don't mind having. It can get messy though so I would probably recommend taking this home to eat instead of eating it there. Flavors were good and definitely recommend both of the burgers we had. We also had their fish and chips when we first tried this place and they give so much food! Definitely recommend that if you want to eat a classic fried catfish filet. They have such an extensive menu so there are plenty of options to choose from.

    ***Chicken Nuggets (level: mild) --- but nuggets are…read moreextremely well done and very tasty. The batter is very thin and Airy while holding lots of seasoning. It doesn't feel overly greasy at all either. ***Cilantro sauce --- this is a very noteworthy sauce here. The sauce is rich and cream by but not overbearing while the cilantro flavor is very pronounced and refreshes the palate. ***Fries - EXTREMELY crispy!!! This is honestly one of the best rides I've ever had. It's well seasoned and not overly salted at all. The crunch on every bite is amazing! It could not get any better. ***Sandwich (level: honey butter) --- honey butter was a bit lackluster in flavor and texture. Of note, the Whataburger honey butter sauce is much better. The staff here are extremely friendly. Elizabeth was very cheerful and helpful. This added to our pleasant experience and energy. Parking may be a bit tricky depending on what time of the day you go. May have to park further away and walk to the restaurant.

For me the waffles were too sweet with a dusting of sugar on top of an already sweet waffle so that was a meh for me. The fries were good, very crispy and lasted throughout the meal. Got a strawberry milkshake was good-thick and sweet to cut through any heat.

    I ordered delivery and the food was pretty just okay. Food was well packed, however…read more The Urban Fries weren't too bad, although two little slices of pickles does make the food feel stingy for some reason. The chicken tender prices are criminal here, especially at the delivery prices, and it's definitely not the best tenders I've had. I don't rate based on price, but it's at least worth a mention. The spice level was good, however, and what I've expected for Nashville hot. I enjoyed the cup of seasoned corn, although there was one unpleasant bite where it was just char, like just black burnt stuff. They need to clean their grill better! Lastly, the Texas toast you can definitely skip. It leaned on stale and I'd rather used to butter in my fridge. The sliver of sesame on one side was fun, however.

    We came in to eat and were the only ones in there initially. After ordering it became very busy…read more It took 30 minutes to get our food and someone who came in AFTER us got his food before ours came out. We watched multiple people walk out because they were told it would take 35-45 minutes for an order of food to come out. Which is UNHEARD of for a fast food joint. When we ordered they asked if it was dine in or Togo which we told them dine in. They proceeded to pack up our food and practically rushed us out of the store. Apparently they value online orders and Togo orders vs the customers that actually want to dine in.

    "DAMAGE CONTROL" On…read moreyesterday, I placed an order through Doordash and requested no bread but called and asked if I could substitute for more pickles. The cashier asked the manager and she was willing to accommodate me. That was nice of her because she could have said no. My order consisted of a tenders basket (Nashville HOt) and large kale salad. It arrived via door dash excellent delivery and kind driver. I opened my food and the SPICY SMELL was literally unbearable. I then started thinking maybe I am being sensitive. I cut a piece and tried to eat it and almost choked from the pepper. REMEMBER I am originally from NOLA so SPICY Is my forte. I immediately called the store and was asked if I wanted to come in or get a refund. I requested a refund than the cashier says " I don't know if we can do that so let me check. I waited a few minutes, then I continued to wait , then I hear staff laughing in background, then someone says "ISN'T THAT WHAT SHE ORDERED" at this moment I became frustrated. I had been busy all morning and needed to sleep for work that night. I headed to the store and you would not believe once I arrived at the store, the cashier was helping customers, and the PHONE WAS OFF THE HOOK by an unoccupied cash register. I immediately requested the manager in a calm tone. The manager VERENICE arrived at the front counter and greeted me. I was so furious so the first thing I did was show her my phone and the phone off of the hook. I was on HOLD for 24 minutes see picture below. She proceeded to apologize and attempted to explain they the call was missed. I further explained that DOOR DASH prices are higher so offering a person to come in the store is not the bet alternative. I ordered DOOR DASH for a reason and it is a huge inconvenience when I have to arrive in store to correct a worker's mistake. SHe understood exactly how I felt and offered a solution. I also requested for her to smell how hot it was as well. She proceeded to tell me they are using a new seasoning and she believes the person put too much. My rebuttal was you have to be more careful in preparing food like that for a customer knowing there is a difference. I know you may be confused at why would I still give them 4 stars because as the MANAGER she listened to constructive criticism, offered a solution and made sure I was satisfied. I believe it is very important as a REVIEWER to be honest and fair while also telling the truth along with offering a the solution. Whomever is the owner of this franchise I am sure you may be disappointed with the "24 minute hold time" but you should be more proud of having a manager in place who does damage control and encourages the customer to return for a better experience as well as fix the food again.

Nice cozy place, perfect setting for fried chicken. I am sure they had other stuff, but that was the mission for this visit. Started with fried pickle spears, probably the best I have ever had, no joke. Perfect coating, taste and preparation. I like the spears vs the chips. Had the special which was to legs and two thighs for the price of the 3 pc dark. Beans and slaw. Ok, the chicken was great, moist, seasoned, very well cooked. I will go out of my way to go here for the chicken. Beans, canned with a little flavor added, nothing to brag about the slaw was pretty good. The fries on my friend's plate looked great. Perfect. We got here at about 1145, the place was busy. By 1215, it was packed, but they move people through and do a booming take out. Try it, you will like it. It satisfied my fried chicken desire and. Am set for a bit, but still want to go get more!!

Gus's World Famous Fried…read moreChicken is truly world famous, as this place is always packed with local folks and visitors alike. I enjoyed their fried chicken, which for around $12, came with a thigh and leg, along with ample amounts of coleslaw and fried okra. Even I, as a voracious eater, could not finish all the sides. The chicken itself was beautifully fried in peanut oil, and truly one of the best, juiciest, fried chicken pieces I have ever had. This place is an example of simplicity at its finest. If you are in Houston and craving some down to earth fried chicken, Gus's is the place to go!
