    4pcs Buffalo Chicken Tenders Combo

    Best burgers in Tomball, which is well known for locals, but I had to try the buffalo chicken and it did not disappoint. Perfect breading and sauce combo makes this another great menu options. But yea, the burgers are great too.

    Buffalo Bacon Chicken Sandwich Combo with onion rings
    Jacqueline M.

    I've heard nothing but great things about JLB, and finally tried it. Ordered the Buffalo Bacon Chicken Sandwich with onion rings. Wow! Absolutely delicious and I can't wait to go back and try more menu items. The restaurant was clean and service was wonderful!

    Cheeseburger Combo
    Alex W.

    I've had their cheese burger and their bacon burger, and both are amazing. The bread is surprisingly light, although at first sight looks like a huge bun, and has a very buttery taste. The hamburger patty itself is juicy and very flavorful without tasting like seasoning, so I assume that it is just very tasty beef. The fries are super crunchy, which is my favorite style for fries. When we've eaten there, there's always a crowd dinning in as well as people pick up takeout, but still you'll get your order in about 20 mins on a busy day

    I really wanted to love this place, people seem to like it, but I probably won't go back. They have various locations and this one was just a bit dowdy and depressing. In terms of the food, it was flavorful and they served nice crispy french fries. The burger was very juicy, but it desperately needed to be wrapped in grease paper before being given to a client because it was a good size and trying to hold that soft bun with a double patty resulted in a total mess, with much of it just falling apart and dropping into the plastic basket it was served in. There are no napkins on the table, you have to go to the counter to get them--with a really juicy burger, which it is, you have no idea how many napkins you're going to need and we kept having to go back for more. I needed a proper knife to cut my burger in half to manage it, but realized that the plastic stuff upfront wouldn't do the job. Irritating. The double cheeseburger tasted good, but it was a total mess to eat, a hassle and I'm not sure it's worth it. Desperately needed is a tight wrap so that it can be managed more easily. Fix that and I might go back.

    Half-pound burgers with homemade buns!!
    Angela L.

    The burgers are gigantic! Love the well-seasoned burgers and homemade buns that had to be created to cover the half-pound beef burger!. The fries are yummy, too! We had to come back here a second time before we fly back home, but this time I ordered the kids burger and it was still a big burger! The service was pretty fast. It's a little hole-in-the -wall, but it's clean and most importantly the restrooms are clean. I had the fish n chips the first time I came here a few days ago and they were delicious!! We'll Be back!! Could you pls come to Orlando, FL?

    Every location is a hit ! This is our third JLB we've been to and they all match in quality Big soft buns , plenty of veggie to cut through & delicious patties Always have and will go back !!

    Buffalo chicken sandwich
    Luna Q.

    I ordered the Buffalo chicken sandwich(meal). It has bacon, ranch, tarot tots. There's no way anyone can finish this. No way!!! As I'm eating this halfway my yoga pants started to roll down. Bun is a bit overpowering but don't think chicken and other ingredients are not enough. For $18 I would definitely share this big sandwich.

    Fish Sandwich (Cajun style) with side of tator tots
    Katrina M.

    I originally came for the burgers, but unexpectedly stayed for the fish sandwiches! The burgers are tasty, but the fish sandwiches are incredible. You choose between London style (flour-battered) or Cajun style (cornmeal, which is my preference), and get an enormous portion of perfectly fried fish on a well buttered bun with a side of tartar sauce. They do not skimp on size or flavor here. There's a good variety of sides and dessert options, but the entrees still shine. I've noticed the service is kind of inconsistent, but ranges from just okay to excellent. Ambiance is fine - typical diner vibes, generally clean, nothing special. Plenty of parking since it shares the vicinity with a Walmart. The menu is large, which can be a bit daunting. I tend to be wary of quality when restaurants offer large menus, but I've come here on several occasions with different people and everything I've tried so far has been delicious. - Ambiance: 3/5 - Food: 5/5 - Service: 4.5/5

    Really a very good Double Hamburger Combo
    Yalai R.

    Really a delicious hamburger, the attention and the place are good. The ditas oreo cookies are delicious!!!

    First, I purposely waited until the lunch crowd was gone to stop in. This place is crowded most of the time and I wanted to take pictures, so I waited... Lol. Little by little I'm going to work my way through the menu. It's so many burgers, pita sandwiches, fish and chips, cajun wings, desserts and more. There's a burger with beef and chicken together on one patty. The BBQ burger looks tasty! But I had the cajun wings back in June and loved love. The wings were very crispy and it came with two slices of Texas toast and fries. While having the wings, I saw this oversized burger at the next table and I said that would be next on my list. So, today I got the JLB Burger, it too was good and tasty, but I needed a little more cheese which was added once I came home. I'll be back for the Fish and Chips, that's next on my list. But, little me tell you about this cute place, it's very relaxed, the people who eat here for lunch or the crowd that takes up the space the whole weekend are so friendly, neighborhood people shooting the breeze as well as the people who work behind the counter are just as friendly. I like it here!

    Bacon avocado cheeseburger
    Monique T.

    The sweet potato fries and burger were pretty great, but the steak fries were inedible. They were wayyyy too salty and even trying to prevent the wasting of food and $, I tried to eat more but couldn't

    Crazy Burger with tots
    Brett N.

    Why 5 stars? Because this was pretty much everything I hoped it would be. --- --- --- I came across JLB recently and couldn't get the photos of the burgers out of my mind. They looked incredibly appealing, with the buns glistening in such a way that I could hear them chanting my name as I laid my head down on the pillow at night. I shared the Yelp listing with my wife and she did not need much convincing. Off we went. I had hyped these burgers up in my mind pretty substantially, so it's remarkable that they ended up exceeding expectations. The buns were among the best I've ever had -- they looked just like they tasted (buttery), but without being heavy. They did fall apart a bit on my wife's burger, which was cut in half for sharing, but they held up pretty good on mine. The size of these burgers was crazy, but they went down a lot easier than the initial glance led us to believe. The patties were really wide, but not necessarily thick, which made them easier to house. I ordered the BBQ burger and my wife went with the Crazy burger. I loved both, but thought the BBQ was a tad better. If you're interested in the Crazy, but not a big fan of Thousand Island dressing, don't let that deter you, because it's barely detectable. Next time, I will try the Joy Love Burger itself, but wasn't feeling the idea of a burger mixed with chicken. I think the ideal order here might be a BBQ burger with double meat. The fries were also great, and the kids grilled cheese was ideal for our 4-year old. The only knock I would say on this experience is that the girl taking our order definitely did not seem to be in a great mood. Sometimes life sucks, but there's something to be said for even offering half a smile when in a customer service position. The only thing that will hold us back from being regulars here is that we don't live super close, but I definitely would like to keep this on the shortlist when we are in Tomball!

    Double cheeseburger with fries.
    Ron F.

    Well another local win. Had a double cheeseburger combo. Don't came with fries and a drink. WOW. The burger was huge and hand pressed! The fries were hot and crisp. The bun had the texture of a croissant and very fresh. Loved the whole meal. I honestly couldn't finish the burger or fries. Just too much food for $18. Come hungry if you get the double! I usually get a double burger but the next time only a single will be plenty! I would get extra cheese next time as well. I just love a lot of cheese on my burgers. Service was quick and very friendly. Nice little place with about 12 tables. I really enjoyed the meal. I'll be back.

    Picture next to soda cans for size comparison... The burgers are huge!!!

    Ask the Community - JLB Eatery

    Do they deliver?

    You can get some menu items delivered via Uber Eats and Postmates.

    Is this place BYOB?

    No.

    Do they have gluten-free options? How extensive are they?

    I'm not sure about the Gluten free but they definitely give you MORE than what you pay for which is why I am a repeat customer!!!

    Do they have veggie burgers?

    No they do not. I imagine if you want all veggie they could make that happe. However the only veggies they have (judging by what's on the menu) are: lettuce, onion, tomato, avocado, jalepenos, and pico de gallo.

    I decided to renew my earlier review of many years ago by having lunch at Ron's recently while in…read moreTomball. This is still a very good choice for a burger meal. I ordered the double patty burger adding a 1/2 order of fries and a small chili too. By the way this is a table service restaurant. They say the individual beef hamburger patties are 1/3 lb. but they sure look more like 1/4 lb. in weight to me because they are really thin. You probably want to get two like I did. The burger was tasty and I enjoyed it. Also the french fries are homemade and taste like it. Why can't more restaurants have fries like these rather than the frozen out of the bag kind? The 1/2 order size is large enough for 2 people to share. Finally their chili here is legit. Yummy! There is no doubt that this is a quality burger and fries eatery. Add in the chili and you will be happy when you dine here. My only negative is the price. No combos here so you pay list price for each item. With my double burger, 1/2 order of fries, small chili, drink, tax and tip my lunch was about $30. Yikes!

The menu leans into classic comfort food and everything I've had has come out hot, fresh, and satisfying. Nothing overly fancy, just solid food done right.

The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and the staff has always been friendly and attentive. You'll see a mix of regulars, families, and people who clearly know they're about to get a good meal. Only reason for four stars is that things can slow down a little when they get super super busy, but that's usually a sign you picked the right place.

It's seems like they were understaffed because the employees were running around trying to keep up with the service needs. All that being said, it took close to 40 minutes for the burger and I had to go ask them to check on my order. The two families who ordered ahead of me got their food in a reasonable time. Maybe they didn't order burgers? I was thinking it would be coming out piping hot because they were behind on orders but it was room temperature. Overall it was an okay burger. The etouffee they put on the burger was the best part. It only came with a small handful of fries. 2 stars for an okay burger that left me feeling hungry for $20+.

    "Friday Night Catfish - Live Music" 02/20/26…read more I decided to give this place a try since I've been passing by it for a while, always wondering if it was any good. I'm glad I finally gave in to curiosity. This spot was already jumping on a Friday evening around 6 PM. They had live music, a solo artist singing and playing guitar, and the whole atmosphere felt lively and upbeat. It gave me "Urban Cowboy" vibes in the best way. The southern hospitality was definitely there. It's family-oriented, pet-friendly, and apparently Friday nights are the only time you can catch them frying up catfish and shrimp. Customer service was a mix of good and just okay. The lady taking our order was polite, but not very friendly, maybe she's just not the best with social skills. You walk up to the outside window to order (like my husband and I did). We were told there'd be about a 45-minute wait, which we were fine with. They gave us a pager to let us know when the food was ready, and luckily we found a table in the packed dining area where we could enjoy the entertainment while we waited. We sipped on margaritas on the rocks and took in the scene. I was honestly surprised at how good they were, especially with the Tajín on the rim. Delicious and strong. Now, the two female servers were the real highlight. They were friendly, down-to-earth, and very attentive, checking on us periodically. One of them even refilled my margarita cup free of charge to make up for the wait. I loved their high energy and bubbly personalities, and I will say: it ended up being well worth the wait. When my husband brought our food to the table, it was piping hot. We both ordered the fried catfish and shrimp dinner, which comes with French fries, hush puppies, and a salad. For some reason, we were served crinkle-cut fries instead of their usual authentic-cut fries, aka "crappy fries," which confused us a little, but it wasn't a big deal. The fish and shrimp were fried to perfection, crunchy, succulent, and full of flavor. The shrimp tasted fresh with that ocean-seafood flavor. The fish tasted a little less fresh to me (slightly on the stale side), but it was still good overall. Complaints Pet-friendly: They allow dogs and cats to roam around the dining area while customers are eating, which is just not my cup of tea. I get that it's outdoor dining, but not everyone enjoys animals up close while they're trying to eat. There was a dog roaming and sniffing guests, and a cat doing the same. Luckily neither one made their way to my table. Another complaint is the styrofoam plate issue: Our dinner was served on a styrofoam plate without the paper lining to keep the hot food from melting into the styrofoam. I don't mind styrofoam, but please add the liner, especially for hot fried food. We noticed other customers had the lining, but we didn't. Maybe it was just a slip-up, who knows. Food Ratings Catfish/Shrimp Dinner: 5/5 Fish: 4/5 (fried to crunchy perfection and piping hot, but didn't taste as fresh, slightly stale) Shrimp: 5/5 (crispy, fresh tasting, piping hot) Hush puppies: 5/5 (crispy outside, moist inside) French fries: 4/5 (not the authentic cut, but fresh and hot) Side salad: 4/5 (fresh lettuce and tomatoes, but a very small portion) Margarita on the rocks: 5/5 (delicious and strong) Overall, Tailgate Grill is energetic, upbeat, and serves up some seriously tasty fried catfish and shrimp, especially on a Friday evening with delicious tasting Margaritas to top it off. The atmosphere is inviting, the food is mouthwatering, and I tore my plate up! I definitely recommend this place if you're craving southern fried catfish and shrimp. One last tip: bring cash to tip the hardworking servers; they were tag-teaming it and taking care of a packed crowd with smiles on their faces. Great job ladies!
