    Onion Rings
    Dan A.

    Has been some time since visiting the original Lankford so good to see their Bellaire location. On a Monday night, too quiet around 7:30. I suspect it was due to the Texans playoff game. Ample indoor with mixed seating including booths as well outdoor seating. Newer so different from the rustic feel of the original location. They had a Monday combo special (hamburger/cheeseburger) which included fries and drink but we were interested in the Specialty Burgers. We ordered the Firehouse Burger (with habanero mayo on the side), Bellaire and Midtown Burger. I remember having the Firehouse Burger and how spicy it was with the Habanero mayo, so good to get it on the side. We ordered the Burgers medium and they came out as ordered. The patties were tasty and a good size. Also, have the option to order the Burger flame grilled which is a nice touch. The Midtown with the crunchy onion ring didn't disappoint and the grilled jalapeños and Bacon jam took the Bellaire Burger over the top! Service was friendly and engaged. They have a self pour Beer Wall which is a nice addition, breakfast menu also looked really good-next time. A different vibe from the original location while matching the Burger deliciousness!

    Apple pie Milkshake
    Ryen W.

    If you're craving a burger that seriously delivers, the Grim Reaper is a must-try. This burger was loaded and flavorful -- mac & cheese, jalapeños, bacon, cheddar cheese, comes with a sunny-side-up egg (i substituted it for a fried egg), all topped with habanero mustard and cayenne butter. Spicy, rich, and absolutely worth it. I started with the fried pickle appetizer, which came out hot, crispy, and perfectly seasoned a great way to kick things off. For something sweet, the apple pie milkshake was chef's kiss. Creamy, nostalgic, and tasted just like dessert in a cup. Can't forget the side of fries golden, crispy, and the perfect companion to an already indulgent meal. Great food, solid portions, and a fun, casual vibe with great customer service. Definitely a spot I'll be back to.

    We ordered the Houston burger. Hou would be great, but as yall see, "hoe" was wrote.

    We walked in at approximately 1:15pm. We've went to a different location previously and wanted to enjoy their food. I ordered the 3B and my wife ordered the Houston . Our food arrived. My label said "3B", and to our appaul, my wife's burger said "hoe", not "hou" like they tried to initially pass off. The cashier admitted that thw letter looked like an "e". I told her that was the word hoe and the lady at the counter also agree it looked like hoe. It was at the Bissonnet location. This is completely unacceptable

    First time coming here & honestly I don't know if it was because they were about to close or what but our food portions weren't all that for what we paid for. I could tell that my wings were the frozen ones. We ordered curly fries & although they were good, the portion size of them wasn't. For $4 each basket too! I do say, the restrooms were very nice & clean! The restaurant does have a nice oldies touch, it was nice too. I would say to better on the portion sizes if they're going to up their charge.

    South Of The Border

    Our hunger pangs for burgers drove us to Lankford's. What an awesome decision that we made. We were greeted upon arrival and we proceeded to order the following items: South of the border 5/5. The burger was absolutely delicious. Half pound juicy patty in a brioche bun with all the fixings. There was a slice of avocado in it too. Mushroom Swiss 5/5. Another juicy half pound patty with the sautéed onions and mushrooms. Absolutely delicious. Also ordered some fries. Golden, crisp. Ambiance was chill. Good music playing. Plenty of seating. Service was very good also. Order at counter . Food is brought to the table. The employees working were very friendly and courteous. Ashley n Trace. Thanks again. We will be back soon.

    I asked for no tomatoes due to allergies to them ! The store manger told staff not to remake it!! I hope he likes the lawsuit!! And my receipt that I have showing no tomatoes on a burger!!

    Lettuce wrap cheeseburger was so delicious! You don't need a bun when the flavor of the meat is so good!
    Maria E.

    Excellent service! The food is always hot and fresh! We both had cheeseburgers and onion rings! I got the lettuce wrap instead of bun. They are always very accommodating. Great music is always playing! Come on in and give them a try today!

    This was my first visit and it was awesome! Customer service is unmatched, drinks are delicious, and food was fresh and flavorful. There are also a host of options for dessert as well. I captured a picture of our appetizers (fried green tomatoes and queso fries), but we also ordered the sweet chili wings, veggie quesadillas, fish sandwich, and curly fries. We indulged in the self-pour beer wall, the cherry limeade, and old-fashioned as well! Robert, Dakota, and Kasey were wonderful. They definitely made our experience enjoyable. We will definitely be back soon!

    I have visited the original Lankford's several times over the years. Ever since they hit their TV fame. Their newest location, in Bellaire, has the same food but it's a little different. We'll talk about that soon. I stopped by on a Monday evening for dinner and parked in their complimentary lot without any issues. Ambiance (3.5/5): Unlike the original location, which is a little cramped, this one is more spacious. There's table seating and booth seating. And they have TVs showing sports games including Monday Night Football while I was there. The downside? They close at 9 p.m. which is way too early, especially when Monday Night Football isn't even over when you close down. We sat at a table with a good view of one of the TVs. Service (3.5/5): Pretty non-existent. You order your food at the counter and they bring your food out to you. Drinks (4/5): One of the few places in town that I know that has a self-service beer wall. Pick up a bracelet with the cashier, and then pour whatever beers you want to your heart's content. Most of the beers are local craft brews. While it's a cool concept, it does tend to get a bit pricey. Food (3/5): While there's more on the menu, they're known for their burgers so that's what I would recommend. I went with the pimento cheese burger with queso fries. You know a burger joint is undelivering when their fries shine more than their burgers do. That's what happened here. While the burger wasn't bad, it was a little lackluster. The burger patty was missing the ooze or char you want to see. The pimento cheese was a nice touch and not something you find often in this part of the country. The bread, while fresh, was a little too big for the patty. The fries, on the other hand, chef's kiss. Crisp, fresh-cut, well-seasoned. Exactly what I was looking for. And these cheese on top is always a good idea because throw cheese on anything and it's better. If you're looking for a casual spot to grab some burgers and brews, Lankford's is a good spot. Just make sure to get their early enough!

I tried to get the man behind the counter to understand that I wanted half a muffaletta, with no mayo. I expressed this in several different ways, because the confused expression on his face indicated that none of it was registering. In the end I gave up and accepted the whole, giant sandwich wheel. It wasn't till I got home that I realized he'd misunderstood more than just the size I was asking for. I can't tell you how much I despise mayonnaise (unless I'm having a BLT, and am thoroughly in charge of the application of the condiment). Why would it even be an option, mayo on a muffaletta? It would be just as ridiculous to have to specify "no ketchup" on one. I don't mean to come off as overly dramatic, here, but that bite was more harmful to me than anything that has ever happened to anyone in the history of humankind. You're probably thinking, "He-LLO . . . Have you seen Schindler's List?" And you may have a point. I sat through that whole film just letting valuable hours pass me right by. But this sandwich thing was even worse. So, after all that bitching, why the five stars, Mike? Because I know it would have been good without the mayonnaise. And because I remember the old Antone's.

So when I decided to give Angelo Z's a try, I came in hopeful but ready to judge with the precision of a seasoned shrimp connoisseur. First, I'll give credit where it's due: the place is designed beautifully. Clean, inviting, well thought-out décor. The staff? Top-notch. Friendly smiles, fast service -- the kind of welcome that makes you want to pull up a chair and stay awhile. But then my shrimp po'boy arrived. And that's where things took a turn. The bread was toasted -- yes, toasted -- which, for a Louisiana po'boy, is already a red flag. To make matters worse, it wasn't even the traditional French bread that's light, airy inside, and has that delicate crackle on the crust. Instead, it was a dense, over-toasted loaf that crunched like I was chewing on a roofing shingle. Then came the real deal-breaker: I bit in and realized the shrimp hadn't been deveined. At all. And for anyone who knows seafood, that black line running down the back isn't some "seasoning" -- it's grit and waste. One glance at that and my appetite clocked out. I understand I'm not in Louisiana anymore, and I'm all for creative spins on classics, but there's a line between "putting your own twist" on something and missing the fundamentals altogether. Unfortunately, this missed the mark in a way I couldn't overlook. Beautiful space. Wonderful people. But for me? A shrimp po'boy that isn't deveined, on the wrong bread, and toasted into oblivion isn't a po'boy worth coming back for.
