Consistently excellent. For most people that eat here - there is some form of a weekly tradition involved - that's roughly how good Pappas burgers is. I recommend the Crispy Chicken Sandwich, the Greek Salad with chicken (grilled or crispy), the fried pickles, and of course - the traditional burger with a side of peppercorn ranch! PS: Ask for the fries to be "extra crispy" - you're welcome! read more

The burgers were pretty solid. If I could stop here I'd give this place 4.5 stars. The rest of the food was not bad but didn't shine in any way. We only took a few sips of the shakes. Tasted like they were from sonic. The service was wonky. You check in first and tell some one what your order is. If you think that starts your order and that means you would be able to get your food faster then you'd be wrong. You then have to wait for a table then someone will come read out your order to you again. And then they will put the order in. So I'm not sure what the purpose of the first interaction was. In spite of double checking the order was brought out wrong. Disappointed. read more

Stopped in the other day for an early dinner and had a great time. Service was top notch and the manager Markus made sure to stop by and check on things. Our waiter Josh was great - We had the Mesquite burger and the chicken sandwich and the portions were healthy! Food was great and worth the price premium. Tell the GM Craig to bring back wing night! read more

It has been 15 years since I moved away from H-Town. When my kids were little we used to take them to Pappas Burger for a treat. It was good then and its still good now. All four of us ordered burgers that by the end of the meal were finished down to a bare plate. I had the Lucy Juicy. An American cheese stuffed burger with grilled onions, pimento cheese, bacon jam, all topped off with an egg. Healthy? No. Good absolutely. Service is spectacular, and even if the burger prices are higher then others the experience is always topped notch. I cant wait for another return. read more

Just a really good cheeseburger!! I could of held the buffalo wings but they were good, nice size. Oreo shake was good, my daughter got strawberry and it had real strawberries in it. Service was great, Astros was playing!! Location is, near Galleria. Parking was no issue. Definitely recommend! read more

We had a fantastic evening at Pappa's Burgers. The food servings are very generous. We ordered two burgers which come with fries or onion rings. We could have split one burger and fries. The staff were helpful and really responsive to us. If you've never been, you order at the counter, sit, and wait staff come to check your order and help make sure you are good to go. They bring refills and suggestions for making our food experience better. You pay them when you leave- not when you order so you can add dessert. We didn't, but will in the future. The place was nice. It reminded us of an old Pizza Hut that was converted into a diner. The music was low enough to talk, but still hear. There are TVs so you can watch sports. read more

First time here and it was really good. The cheeseburger was tasty and the milkshake was so good ONLY thing I'd change are the fries, they should be the thicker cut old school ones . The service was friendly. Will definitely be back read more

Pappas Burger used to have the best Greek Salad around, but the chef eliminated in favor of a less appealing Mediterranean salad. Same thing happened at Pappas Steakhouse with the Classic Wedge salad. The other offerings were high quality, as you would expect from Pappas. read more

It's been several years since my last visit here and I remembered a very good hamburger meal but on the expensive side. Located on Westheimer there is plenty of parking behind the restaurant. Walking in you are greeted by two identical large menu walls and then place your order at the counter. I ordered the Pappas Burger (which is their standard no cheese, no frills lowest priced burger) that comes with fries for $14.35 and added an ice tea for $2.75 to drink. I then took my order slip, filled my tea glass and went to find a table. My waiter then arrived and took my order slip, reviewed the order with me and then left to have my order filled. My food arrived in about 5 minutes (see pics). The burger patty was slightly over 1/2 lb. and dressed on a large bun. It was very good and filling. I enjoyed it as it was a quality burger. The homemade fries had skin on them and were hot and fresh. This meal was one that I believe most people would thoroughly enjoy. So why do I only give 3 stars? Honestly, I should give less. With tax and tip, my total cost was $22. For a burger, fries and an ice tea. Remember, I ordered their cheapest burger. Some of the more fancier specialty burgers (that most people would order) were about $2 more. If you want a milkshake add about another $2 on top of that if you don't also get a soft drink/tea. If you do, add another $5. And then don't forget to tip your waiter for picking up your order slip from where you ordered at the counter, bring you your food, refill your drink glass after you initially filled it and ask you during the meal if you are enjoying your food... On my last visit several years ago, I remembered this same meal eating up a $20 bill. Today it takes about 10% more than that. Yes the food is very good but I know many places in town where I can get an equally good burger meal for less than half the cost. I guess it will be several years again before I return or maybe I have finally learned my lesson. read more

Hands down this is my new favorite burger place! It's a bit pricey but very much worth it. I was impressed by the size of the burger, the quality and taste.

Fun-looking place. Excellent service. The food just was borderline between kind of bad to OK. Burger, chicken sandwich, fries, onion rings, and a giant old timey ice cream Sunday was all disappointing. The place was packed. Most people were having a good time. My date and I were both underwhelmed. Pappas Burger has a good reputation. I just don't see it. Houston is a burger town. So many better places to go. read more

This place is awesome. The food is spot on every time. today we had abbey she was super kind. Definitely will be back soon.

I stopped by on my way to a later meeting. I wanted something good, not overly filling but satisfying to my taste buds. And it's been awhile since I've been here so I decided to make the stop. I walked and was greeted with a nice hello at the register. Looking at the menu somewhat was overwhelming because I just wanted simple today. But through all the exciting looking menu choices, I found my simpleness. I ordered a regular burger with bacon, onion rings and a strawberry shake. I went to the restroom to wash my hand- it needed some work. My burger and rings came out---Ooooohh!!! I think I got way too much food. It looks great and smells just as good as it looks. These onion rings are off the chain- Theg are not too thick where you are bitting into a lot of batter and not to thin where you can't enjoy the onion. I love The seasoning it has a lite spiciness to it. GREAT!!!! I could have just ordered the rings. It's like they literally melt in your mouth. I ate 6-8 rings before I bit into my burger. At first I was thinking how do I pick it up. Then I said , "self just go for it". The burger was so juicy that I felt juices escaping out the back side of my burger each time I bit into it. I was hoping the juices from burger didn't get on my shirt before my meeting. The only thing I would have done differently is not add the bacon-COULDN't taste it. Now it's time for my Strawberry Shake- it's Gooooood!!! read more

Best burgers! Great place to watch the game, good ambiance, friendly service, I'd recommend to a friend

I was in Houston two weeks ago and I decided to take my girlfriend to Pappas Burger for lunch and it was really good!! I am a big fan of Pappas restaurants. Quality food and great service. The restaurant is very nice. We placed our order at the counter and we had a great server who brought our food to our booth. My girlfriend had the hamburger which she really enjoyed. I had the Lucy Juicy which was awesome! Loved their fries! I recommend Pappas Burger! It's a fun place with really good food! Will be back! Oh.... They have a parking lot which is great! read more

Curbside order for chicken tenders and fries tonight. Waited 15 minutes after my scheduled pickup time to get my food and only because I called inside to see if they were coming. Never even got the confirmation text For the price, amount of fries was skimpy and they were cold and stuck together. Figured if at least if I had to wait the food would be fresh but nope chicken tenders were great once I nuked them at home but cold fries can't always be saved read more

Best Burgers in Houston only behind Beck's Prime. Everything fresh and great fries and onion rings and hot dogs too.

If you would like a traditional American burger pappas burgers is hard to beat. The servers are all attentive, and friendly. Ive been to pappas burgers too many times to count and i keep going back. Not only are their burgers great, they also have some delicious wings both boneless and boned. They also have some very tasty milkshakes. My go to milkshake is oreo with banana. The restaurant is a neat dinner like setting with TVs set up all around to let you watch any sports game you would like. read more

Description on the menu isa bit misleading. It states onion rings on the side of the burger. It should state fried onions as an ingredient of the burger. TOTALLY DIFFERENT. We all know what onion rings are and instead what you get are fries. I feel a bit cheated. And not even a single slice of tomato on a $20 burger? RIPOFF. And the ordering system is strange. You place your order at the front like a to go restaurant. Fine. But then you go to your table and you have to repeat your order. So is this a sit down restaurant or a to go restaurant? And of course, because I'd this disconnect, I never got my shake. Then, I am given a tall cup. I'm told to get whatever fountain drink or iced tea I want. I'm NOT told I'm going to be charged for it. If I had known. I would have just gotten the shake. Another ruse. Finally, the burger wasn't all that. read more

Never been a fan of ordering at a counter to then have a server reverify at the table before placing the order. Maybe the idea is to pre-throw burgers on the grill I guess? A couple places in San Antonio do the same thing. Every place the experience is the same and always feels off. The burger was juicy the bread was lacking and for the price it didn't give enough attention to return right away. The server we did have was nice and great. I wish I remembered his name. Mid 20s guy skinny with brown short hair. Suggestions- I'd like to taste some more flavor in the fresh buns. They were soft but they reminded me of eating bread on my ship in the Navy. Basic and lacking flavor. Maybe like a butter brush and lightly toasted would be great? But the burger is pretty greasy/buttering so might overwhelm it. Maybe a sesame seed bun? Idk I feel that part is lacking and you're paying a high cost for the burger. read more

Greatest burger in town. Amazing service! Cam is a great waiter. He never let a drink go dry. Exceptional service.

That's a big burger! I managed to finish off their standard bacon cheeseburger. No need to fill up on fries. Plenty for sharing. The burger patty was definitely the biiiig star. Seemed like there wasn't enough cheese or bacon as toppings. Lettuce, on the other hand, was in abundance. Could've set it aside for a mini side salad. I considered one of their specialty burgers, but I stick to basics for comparisons. Stopped in on a separate visit for Happy Hour wings & a frozen margarita. Wings were a tasty snack. Piping hot and sauced nicely. I don't frequent Margaritaville as often these days, and the sweet boozy effect snuck up on me towards the end of the drink. A single, frosty dose was effective for a hot, humid afternoon. Service on both visits were great. Friendly greetings from everyone. Table servers made the rounds to check for drink refills and made sure everything was going well. All this in a good atmosphere to watch sports from the various TVs around the room. read more

This used to be our place to go for a great burger. We went tonight and found the burger to be quite littered with small pieces of gristle. When I came home, I looked on the site and it said that the burgers are made with the trimmings from the steak restaurant (next door). This may have been done in the past, but if it was, they were using better trimmings. I don't think I will be ordering a burger here anymore. It is a real shame. The service was very good and I like everything else about the place. I just wish they would get back to better quality meat. read more

Let me start off by saying I hadn't understood the appeal in a burger until I came here. Yes, I have eaten a many a burger but they all generally taste the same: oily, bland and/ or salty, monotonous. Cue my mind being blown: I ordered a mushroom Swiss in medium and my partner ordered a blue cheese burger in well done. It was definitely pricier than most places at around ~$16 for burger and fries. The mushroom Swiss burger was so juicy and so flavorful! They really pack in those toppings and I was not mad about that. Thick cuts of perfectly carmelized onions and juicy whole mushrooms. And the bread they used wasn't those stupid, super thick and cakey buns. It was a nice supple, soft bun that you could mash down with your hands and really get a good bite out of. The burger patty itself was seasoned perfectly and tasted fresh. Their portions are huge so I can see why they price it the way they do. I was able to get 2 very filling meals out of my combo. The blue cheese burger was so good too! You would think the blue cheese would overpower the whole burger but it actually compliments it and the toppings they added. I actually really enjoyed their fries. They're cut smaller and seasoned really well; not too salty. My fave burger place so far! So so delicious! read more

Visited Pappas on Saturday and really enjoyed it. Started with the crispy pickles (which also had fried jalapeños!). I am not the biggest fan of burgers, so I had the Buffalo bites. They had a rich sauce and were very fresh. The green Chile burger was a hit at my table. Only complaint from my crowd was that the burger patty itself wasn't well seasoned, and needed something more. The service concept is very strange there. You order at the counter, and they give you your check, but you don't pay until the end. In the meantime, there are servers that come around and check on you. I feel like at this point they should eliminate the counter ordering concept entirely. read more

The first of my Pappa's Restaurant adventures, I came here for lunch right from the airport. The ambiance was nice with tables, booths and bar seating. I sat at the bar to watch some TV while I waited for my food. I got the Juicy Lucy with bacon on it. It was really a tasty, messy sandwich. The fries were also tasty and paired well with the dipping sauces I got. The service was good with the waiter being friendly and engaging me in conversation. I wanted a milk shake but there was no way I was going to be able to have that.. I was stuffed. This place is awesome for lunch but I can see it being a nice place for dinner as well. If possible, I will be stopping back here again. read more

What can I say. It's the Pappas brand. I've visited this place twice in my life, and sorry to say this bit it's nice worth it AT ALL! Yes, the burger is big. Yes, the there are a lot of fries. The burger had NO flavor! On top of that, they asked if wanted everything on it, I had said yes, but it turned out they didn't put ketchup, mustard, or mayo in my burger. Huh?! Didn't I say EVERYTHING? I still don't understand the purpose of having waiters in a burger joint. First of, we had to fill our own drinks initially, and then the waiters walked around to check to see what was printed out on our order was correct? Like McDonalds, just call my number or buzz me and I'll go get my own burger/fries tray. I can walk up and refill my own drink. Cleanliness - 4.5/5 Service - 4.5/5 - But unnecessary Food - 2/5 Price - Too pricey for what you get. It was a $20 burger/fries per person and we wanted our onions grilled. That as an additional $1.00. My goodness! No more visits or even a recommendation from me! read more

I wish we had a location or two in San Antonio. I tried this place a few weeks ago but I had to post my review. The burgers were juicy and delicious.

My friend and I came I here for a quick bite to eat. It was my first time so I was interested to see the menu options. It is a bit pricey in my opinion , however, my friend informed me that they use the same meat to make the burgers here that they present at the Pappas Steakhouse. So I presume you're getting some A1 meat *shrugs* it took a few minutes for a food. While we waited I like how we were offered complimentary drinks (not sure if it's a norm) . that was nice to me because you don't see that at restaurants. I loved my shake even though I wish there was more cookies pieces in it. The fries were a bit soggy too which was odd to me. I didn't eat the sandwich until the next day because I got full off of the fries and shake alone. However, to my surprise the burger was great. Huge, but delicious. It reminded me of the Good Burgers competition "Mondo Burger," with how big the meat was though. It was a meal in its own as well. Maybe if I would've went during normal hours I would give it the full five stars . only because maybe my fries would've been a bit better. Even though they said everything was made to order so I'm a tad confused about that part. read more

I thought the burger prices were high....until one showed up at my table. 10 ounce burger that comes wit' fries or rings, next time I will split one with my lovely wife so we don't become supersized. Amazing taste, I copied my daughter-in-law and got the juicy lucy. I tried eating it by hand and gave up and disassembled it using a knife and a fork.....otherwise ole' pigpen would have needed a drop cloth. The onion rings were definitely my kind and I would have eaten more of them but there was no mo' room at the belly inn.

I went here once when I was in middle school with my parents n remember it being really good. I went here earlier for the second time ever and ordered their Cheeseburger w/ no mayo & easy mustard with shoestring fries togo. Both were fantastic in all ways. My burger was very delicious, moist, massive n very beefy. It was clearly a great quality beef with a seemingly subtle aged flavor to it and had great seasoning to make the meat itself shine. I like a lot of seasoning, but if it's just enough and the meat is able to taste really good without being bland, it's also a winner for me. It was also not dry at all n very juicy. You could really tell the meat patty was not a typical burger, but a top notch one from the taste and texture. It seemed hormone free from every bite. I was very surprised how huge my burger was n it even looked like a whole pound. The bread, cheese and veggies were very good in the burger order going hand n hand with the meat patty. I am pretty picky with cafe n restaurant burgers since I have had several that are nothing special, not seasoned at all or just decent enough to get if nothing is open. Imo, Pappas Burger made one of the top best burgers I have ever eaten. The shoestring fries were very delicious, very fresh, very soft, seasoned very well and you could actually taste the actual potatoes instead of just grease. They were moist without the extra grease taste n texture. Great n friendly service on this visit as well. I personally love all Pappas restaurants, except their bbq. Their burgers, steakhouse, fajitas and Cajun seafood places are all very delicious and high quality. read more

Pretty good restaurant! I came here on a Saturday night with a group of 4 and it was really busy. But not busy enough to wear finding a table or a parking spot was difficult. Food: I ordered the Pappas Greek Salad and it was really good. The portion was perfect and everything in it tasted fresh. I also recommend adding chicken. I also ordered a strawberry milkshake which was a perfect way to end the meal. But the check ended up being $30 which was a lot higher than I was expecting. Although the food was good, I don't think it was worth that much money. Service: The service was great, all the servers there were really friendly and attentive. Atmosphere: Here you order at the counter, find your own table, and then once you're done with you're dishes they clean it up for you. The restaurant is really cute it has sort of like an old fashion diner vibe but not really. Overall, my experience here was great and I will be returning.

Just left and it was delectable! We ordered the Cheeseburger, Bacon Cheeseburger, Peppercorn Ranch burger, and the Lucy Juicy. The size was amazing and the seasoning was on point. The women's restroom was clean and there's a changing table in the larger stall. Our server was Moises and he was beyond helpful and courteous. He checked in frequently to make sure everything was okay and even helped us when there was something wrong with one of our meals. There was a minor issue with one of our burgers. It came out well done instead of medium. They tried to fix it immediately but when it was well done again, the manager, Craig, made it himself to ensure my aunt was taken care of. This type of concern for customers alone gives this place five stars. The coke float and strawberry shake were both delicious. We will definitely come back! read more
