Store Front
Steven L.

I've been going to Millers as a kid (their former location on Wilcrest and Westheimer) and always make a stop here when I'm on this side of town. A nostalgic, old fashioned Mushroom Swiss with all their fixings is the only way to get it. Made fresh to order with basic but high-quality ingredients, even 30+ years later, still takes me back every single time. Don't let the looks fool you as it's no ordinary, stale biker bar. This place is rich in history and if you take a closer look at the pictures, you'll see three generations of hard working Americans making a beautiful and delicious living.

High cost for low quality
Mishona S.

I should have turned away just from the smell. Unfortunately we opted for some burgers instead of Subway. Should have just asked for a refund! The cashier was super rude and kept cutting us off when we told her what we wanted on our burger. Also why is it so dark inside? I mean I get saving money on your lights, but not like this. Should have just wait for happy hour anywhere else and I mean anywhere! First and last time here!

Single bacon cheeseburger
Claudine L.

When I walked in I honestly did not like the way the restaurant smelled but I decided to go ahead and order. The interior gave old roadside vibes.The lady was pleasant at the register though and it was a simple ordering process. The burger was pretty good. Standard home style burger. I was full when I left so no complaints. The burger was pretty big and the onion rings were also good. I had a single bacon cheeseburger with mustard, lettuce, tomato, I think mayo, and I onion. I wish I would have asked for extra mayo or mustard but I just used the ketchup from the table. There are no frills but like I said I was satisfied. I will say it was a little pricey for what you get. I might come back and try another menu item.

Jalapeño cheddar cheeseburger with everything on it, onion rings, and fries.

Everything is crafted to your liking and incredibly fresh. They offer Pepsi products, served from the fountain, which is pretty good, and you can also find Dr Pepper. Alongside their burgers, there's a wide range of other choices, including vegetarian selections. Local beer and wine are always on hand for those looking to indulge. It's a relaxed spot where you order at the counter and then find a seat. I absolutely adore this place; it's a true Houston classic.

Great decor. Great atmosphere. Hamburger was good, onion rings were good. Staff was amiable. Cool hang. This would be a great place to make a movie. Menu choices were plentiful. 3830 N Shepherd Dr, Houston, TX 77018 Old style. Cool You can order a triple cheeseburger here. Healthy stuff too. Chili. Located in: Garden Oaks Shopping Cente

Sweet Potato fries $3.75 - yum! Very crispy. Not greasy. We shared.

Bacon cheeseburger $13 - our preferred burger (cashier recommended this). Bacon was very crispy. Patties are actually flavorful. (I don't like the places where they make it about the toppings.) Soft bun, although I wish it was toasted a bit. Fresh veggies. Mushroom Swiss burger $13 - also very good. Burgers are huge BTW. I may have eaten a little more than half. They're not cheap, but they don't ask for tip. (They only have a cash tip jar.) So I guess the burgers are about $11. Sweet Potato fries $3.75 - we shared this. They were hot and very crispy, not oily at all. We were the only customers dining in. It has a bar atmosphere, and it's dark and a little dingy tbh, but the workers are friendly, and the food is good. We saw a handful of people who ordered pick-up. We only stopped by bc we live down the street and i saw good reviews, but from the outside, I would never just walk in.

Mini burger
Jazmin M.

Been told to come try their burgers. Keep in mind I'm not a burger fan so my review might not be as accurate. Location: shopping strip Parking: lots Staff: great, very friendly and honest Wait time: none Price: a bit on high end with add ons Taste: my son said they were tasty, I did try a small kids burger and it was decent. Location definitely has a vintage old diner look. I would try again. Seating: both indoor and outdoor (also has a bar seating area)

Burger, onion rings and sweet potato fries.
Candy C.

About a week ago...I placed an order over the phone from the parking lot... they said 10-15 mins. I waited 10mins and went to pickup my order 2 burgers, sweet potato fries and onion rings. I had heard good things about this place so of course I had a few expectations. The burger was cold (I at least expected it to be warm) and the fries were limp... the onion rings were nice and crispy. The service was very friendly and I was happy to see staff wearing masks and they had hand sanitizer available. There is plenty of parking in the shared lot. Unfortunately, the food was lack luster.

It's Miller's time
Fox E.

I come here sometimes. Basically whenever it's Miller time. This is a good burger place and an underrated one that flies under the radar. Houston doesn't have a huge amount of great burgers, but this is one of the better ones for sure. Sure, Lankford is the gold standard, and there are several other excellent ones, but this is a place I'll definitely return to, and somewhere that I'll come back in future.

No food left behind.

A great burger spot coming from someone who doesn't eat lots of burgers so take that how you'd like…read more When you walk in you take a clipboard to customize your selection (beef burger, turkey burger, fish, etc.) and then take that to the register to pay. 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

I was extremely excited to give this place a shot and, after failing to try it about a month ago…read moredue to them being out of falafel patties, I finally got to try it this past weekend and honestly I was very much underwhelmed (I even called before going to make sure they hadn't run out of falafel patties this time). 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.

First, the parking lot entrance is blink and you'll miss it, tucked narrowly between the carwash and the cafe on Washington, but parking is surprisingly ample. The husband and wife owners are lovely people. The inside is very comfortable with a very old world cafe ambiance. The burger and fries are clearly made to order and incredibly well made. The burger was nicely seasoned and perfectly cooked, the vegetables were fresh and crisp, the burger sauce was really nice without being cloying or overpowering, and the bun was nice and soft. The fries were those nice, thick, crispy on the outside soft on the inside diner style seasoned fries. The pastry offerings, which I was told the wife bakes herself, look excellent as well, as do all of the coffee drinks. I'm very excited to come back and try their cafe offerings.

The burger itself looked like a burger you'd find at many places, but the flavor was "elevated." The burger was made to order and did take a few minutes to come out, but was worth the wait! There is plenty to do here. You can enjoy a cold one , you can lounge around in comfortable chairs, or you can play a game -- your choice. If you're in the Washington / Heights / downtown area, this place is worth a visit. (They also have parking.)

Champ Burger is an EaDo staple that I finally had the opportunity to check out for lunch. Coming on…read morea Mon at 1230pm, this place was packed! Love seeing the lunch rush though because you know it's gonna be good. Ambiance wise, this place is very chill. No indoor area, just order at the counter, get 1 of their outdoor patio tables or take it to go. There was a line to order, but service was very fast. Burger wise, this place is just a well executed classic burger. Big, juicy, fresh toppings, honestly nothing to complain about. The onion rings were some of the best that I've had recently, and I ordered their "Texas size steak sandwich" to go as well for dinner, very filling. I'm so glad I finally took the time to try out this EaDo gem. I understand why they've been a Houston burger staple for so long now. I'll definitely be adding this place to the list in my burger rotation, enjoy!

After trying a number of different burger spots it definitely wanted to come here again and make sure that it was living up to my previous experience. Just happened to get there at the right time there was nobody waiting and as soon as I placed my order and grabbed a seat, I turned around, and there was a line of approximately 20 people waiting to order. The seating is all alfresco. I ordered a steak sandwich with fries and a drink. The fried steak was tender and moist and the fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The service was friendly and helpful, answered all questions.
