    5pcs Fried Oreo
    Duyen T.

    Why didn't I discover this place earlier? I was surprised how close I was from my location so decided to stop by for lunch. The staff were super sweet and nice. There was lots of seating and a self serving style. I also noticed they had color pencil and paper bags for the kids to do. I order 2 of the comb of 2 piece fish and 6 piece shrimp (Cajun style). Which came with 3 pieces of onion rings, a piece of toast, 1 hush puppy, and some fries as sides. Everything was fried to a perfect crisp but wasn't oily and didn't become soggy. Though I wished the fish and shrimp had a little bit more flavor but it did come with your choice of tartar sauce or cocktail sauce which helped. I also ordered the fried Oreo which had a super nice crispy outside and soft inside. Overall, I highly recommend coming and trying their food. I have to come back and try the rest of the menu.

    Cheeseburger Combo
    Gabriel M.

    The burgers here are amazing. Large, juicy and flavorful while being reasonably priced. Included photos are of the Crazy burger of which a combo with fries and a drink is $18. French fries were crispy. The sweet iced tea was sweet and crisp. I've been here maybe 10 times and the food is always great. Fish sandwich and the other burgers are good too. It's a small, hole-in-the-wall restaurant that has ample seating with tvs. They are always super nice and friendly. Highly recommend.

    Cornmeal fish
    Tom L.

    I've had my fair share of fish n chips plus burgers. The average American consumes about 3 cheeseburgers a week or 150 a year coming out to 50 billion cheeseburgers annually. I've had cheap and expensive burgers but Jlb cheeseburger has to be top 10 for me all time. I was blown away how good the overall taste was. I was not expecting it to be that good. The best part of the burger are the buns. What!? The bread? Too me it tasted like a fresh baked egg burger, made from scratch. It was nice and soft with ultra fluffy interior. Fresh vegetables, creamy American cheese, and lovely meat patty. Must get a double meat, I recommend with extra cheese. I love the crispy edges on the meat patty, that tells me it was cooked not on a grill. A must try with the house 1000 island sauce and ranch. The white fish cornmeal is great, moist fish with crispy cornmeal, nice amount of salt. I will say for the price under $6 for 1 piece is a little expensive plus it was ultra thin. The London fish style is the best way to go. The batter is nice and beer battered and with the type of batter it doesn't dry out the fish. Add the house tartar sauce and the battered fish was amazing. Plus it was more plump and juicy the white fish. I decided to try out the chili and for $1 it's good, the chili is nice and earthy, great meat flavor, I can see the chunks of meat inside the chili as well. Not too overly greasy and love how it has no beans. Great chili to top on the burger too.

    Great lunch spot for a burger. The portion sizes are huge. They make a really good, solid American cheeseburger here

    Fish sandwich
    Rebecca P.

    I ordered food from this restaurant for my family. The burger's texture was off, like something extra had been added to the meat besides seasoning, almost like a filler. The tater tots tasted old and refried and were way too greasy. The fries were okay, but still different than usual. Both the chicken sandwich and the fish were disappointing -- the filets were thinner than expected, with more breading than meat, and they were fried way too hard. I usually go to the Stella Link location, but since I was in the area, I tried this one on Richmond. I won't be making that mistake again.

    Double cheese burger
    Klash H.

    I ordered the patty melt and the double cheese burger. The patty melt needed more cheese and so did the double cheeseburger. I intended to eat at this chain for several years and I decided to order. The meat was seasoned and I enjoyed the ample amount of pepper. The fries were mediocre and the tater tots were the same but I love cafeteria tots. I just thought for the price the burgers could be better. More cheese, more veggies, more butter on the patty melt.

    WOW! I have no words other than that. I am new to the Houston area from Southern California, home of In-N-Out. I know GREAT burgers when I have one, and this place doesn't disappoint and lives up to its near perfect ratings. The bread is baked in house and is absolutely phenomenal! The owner, J.R., is a So Cal local who moved to Houston years back to raise his family, and he couldn't have been any nicer to my 94 year old grandma, my Uncle and me. My Uncle suggested taking us here, and honestly I have been thinking about this burger since I left there last Saturday! I got the burger with bacon and avocado and it was nothing short of delectable goodness in my mouth until the last bite. The fries were cooked perfectly and the staff was kind, courteous and kept the place very clean! They had these amazing deep fried Oreo cookies for dessert which were amazing, and that's coming from a guy who isn't a huge fan of sweets. I will be back very soon to try other things on the menu since my Uncle told me their fish sandwich is pretty amazing as well! Thanks for your genuine kindness and making us feel so welcomed while we enjoyed your delicious cuisine, J.R.! I might just be back sometime this week it's that freakin' good!

    I love this place.... But damn, it's a lot of food. Come hungry. We were a party of 6 and had plenty of room BUT most of the booths are for 4 or less. Cute place. I wish them success. Service was top notch.

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

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.

There were no other customers at the time, but that's to be expected for a slow Monday. The menu is quite simple with just 4 different entrees, 3 different ways to order fries, and a few soft drink options in a cold case. Everything here is a la carte but there is a combo option where you can save about $3 off the regular menu pricing. I chose the "Double Good" and added a patty for $3 more figuring the patties are most likely very thin. The burger comes with lettuce, onion tomato, pickles and special sauce. I subbed the American for Swiss, but the Swiss ended up being a Swiss-American blend, so it tasted mostly like American cheese which I hate. I keep having bad luck with Swiss lately. The patty is about 1/4 lb and tastes similar to a home cooked burger. I ended up setting the burger down and just eating the patty with a fork since I didn't like the taste of the cheese, sauce, or the entire burger as a whole after a handful of bites. Overall, I'm glad I finally tried it but this is not a burger I would come back for, especially at this price point.

Clutch City Grill sits next to Burger Chan (the most recent title holder of best burger for my son) but this Sunday, they were not open so we tried the one we didn't try last time--CCG. And let me just say that this place tucked away inside a collective indoor food concession aka The Conservatory Galleria, has every right to boldly don the clutch city burger title. Inside this perfectly grilled almost Hawaiian role type hint of sweet homemade bun is a masterclass of burger perfection, made right in front of you and to your liking based on your selections from the order tap screens. While, waiting, I looked at everything I didn't order as it was being served and I'm almost certain that anything you order at CCG is delicious. Presentation is superb because others were sitting with large selections in front of them that caused me a bit of buyers remorse--I couldn't decide. The vibe is chill enough to talk to the grill master while my son was figuring out his massive burger order--he randomly had a hash brown added to a patty melt. And ordered something to take home or in case one order wasn't enough for the teen appetite. But the food is massive. I cannot stress that enough. Portions of everything there are beyond generous from what we saw and this is the kind of place where there's delivery guys picking up, people working on their laptops and the average joe grabbing takeout after work as well as families having dinner but not crowded. We sat and reflected on a great shopping day in a chill environment and reminisced on the old days of Galleria area last minute back to school night before/we should do this more type of memories in the making. The take something to go plus my own leftover (cutting the burger in half is an open from the order touch screen) and it passed the ultimate test of being really good cold the next day. This place begs the question--where is everybody? I can't be the only one who knows about it. But also was inviting enough to silently confirm that I think we've found our place. One that even has a cool bathroom with a mirror that says "you look amazing." Exactly how you're going to feel about the food that looks even better than it does in its promo photos
