Dining room
Eric F.

Family friend highly recommended the burgers here, so I wanted to give it a try...I went on a Monday around 3:00pm. We were the only people inside the dining room. Loved how there wasn't too many options to choose from (easy menu) and that you can customize your order. Loved the drinks were free refills. Ordered the Double Bacon Cheeseburger with fries. Wow! Definitely one of the best burgers I've had to date! Seasoning and the flavor was surprisingly good! Love the soft bun. Fries were also crispy. Asked the staff when are the busy times of the day? She mentioned lunch time and after 6pm is when business picks up as I thought it was crazy nobody was there when I was there being their burgers are so good! ?!?! Prices are on the higher side vs fast food options, BUT the taste, seasoning, and freshness prove much better than those fast food options, so the prices a definitely justified. Highly, highly recommend if you love burgers! The staff was very friendly and accommodating as well. Will definitely be back!

Old fashioned hamburger

This location is one of many in the Houston area. It's small with no frills, delicious meal orders are brought to your table by friendly staff, and a definite neighborhood favorite. Parking in front of restaurant located in the shopping strip. You'll feel right at home here. Clean one person women's restroom.

Chili Cheese Burger
Brian J. R.

What a burger! (Nope, can't say that.) For real, this is one of my top burgers. I always get the chilli cheeseburger and it's never let me down. My daughter got a standard cheeseburger and rated it 86/10. Do not ask me to make sense of that rating. She loved it though. The food is made fresh to order fast and the dark wood and kitsch of the decor reminds me of an old tavern mixed with an uncle's den. Always awesome.

Yes, I'm giving this kinda divey burger joint 5 stars... only because I can! So close to my house I'm not sure why I've never been here, but now I know and I'll be back... I ordered a bacon burger with guacamole. First, the burger patty is pressed on the flat top to give in a nice crust, but it's not overcooked. Still had some Pink, as it should. The bacon was generous, and cooked perfectly and crispy.. and the guacamole was just how I'd make mine. The bun was fresh, and grilled, both sides.... came wrapped in paper. Franch fries came out hot and generous, and ready for salt. My only negative is the ketchup definitely isn't Heinz, but it's fine. I did get food envy when I saw an order of onion rings come out... , I guess next time.

Small mom & pop burger shop. Owners and employees are friendly. The atmosphere is quaint and homey with signs and memorabilia on every wall. The food is fantastic. I've been here many times and never been disappointed. The burgers are big, messy and absolutely delicious. The fries are perfectly done, thick straight cut. I personally like to add a bit more salt on top as they tend to be slightly under salted for my taste. If you stop by Miller's be sure to grab plenty of napkins, and come with a big appetite. You're gonna need 'em. Four star, not five because of cleanliness. The place is by no means filthy, but the tables at times can feel a little grimy.

7-12-2014 We've eaten a burger here once a week for years.  In our opinion Stomps and then this place have the best burgers in the area, but Stomps is too far away for routine eating. Tastes are all different but I don't like their chili, so I don't get their Frito Pie which I love or their hotdog.   7-8-17 Update:  When you eat at the same place week-after-week year-after-year you burn out.  So we've been getting our weekly burger at Burger Nation for more than a year.  Burger Nation's burger is good but we decided to come back and try one here again.  These are better.  As a result, we've returned here for our burger. 5-28-18 Update: Pop Top burgers is their competitor.  We now alternate between Miller's and Pop Top. 2-29-2021 Update: We no longer go to Burger Nation. And, we don't go often to Pop Top anymore, mostly because they moved and are too far. Our new competitor to Miller's is Mia's Table. They make a good burger and we've been going there more than here lately. ___ We've Eaten Out Every Meal for 30+ years

Millers is my go to place for burgers in the area. Food is great and consistent. The place is quiet and has plenty of room for the amount of people I bring, typically four to eight.

This place is amazing. I have been coming here since 2004 because I can't eat a burger anywhere else. I get the bacon cheeseburger, no mayo.

Decent burger but whataburger would have been just as good for half the price. Burger pattys are very thin. Not worth the money.

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.

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.

A standard smashed Double cheeseburger and generous extra crispy impressively seasoned waffle fries as you want it cost $16 which is fair since adding the fries vs standalone burger is only $1 price differential. 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

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.
