One of the best spots in Houston for a burger ! The service is good and the environment is antique, you feel like you are in a 1980's burger joint. But the only bad thing about the place it has to be the parking but other than that this a gem of a burger place !!! read more

3.5- It's been a minute since I've visited Stanton's. But it's just as I remembered, wonky floors in a old building, in a old, historic area. But their burgers are still good. They use 1/2 lb. patties for the most part. They are off Houston Ave just north of Downtown. Parking is not that great. read more

The FOOD! Cool place and good food in a very relaxed atmosphere. Get there early if you can because parking gets crowded.

This is one of the best places to get a good, hearty burger in Houston. When I lived there, Stanton's City Bites was my go-to (especially after a night out). Now, every time I visit Houston, I bring my trip-mates and they're always very pleased. I couldn't even pick out a single thing to highlight from the menu - EVERYTHING is delicious. read more

Thick, juicy, perfectly cooked (medium rare), flavorful burger patty. Couldn't imagine a better version. I'd recommend eating in though. We ordered take-out and the bun got soggy really fast. The one negative aspect of a juicy burger patty, I guess. Other than that, it was a great burger (I had the Holy Cow). A tip for take-out: skip the chili fries -- they got soggy quickly as well. Go for a dry fry. The menu is solid -- I really appreciated their variety of burger options and sides. Will definitely come back in person to revisit their burgers. read more

I was in the mood for a juicy burger. So off to yelp I went to read reviews! This place was listed under "best burger" yelp. Parking is 4 spots out in front of the place, or street parking. Food- I ordered when i got there, to go. Place was empty, only few ppl came to pick up there to go order. I had planned to eat there but decided against it. First up, onion rings- which were good, hot and well put together batter and flavor. Some onion rings rip apart and go soggy quick, these did not, would recommend. Next,The spicy Chipotle burger- I liked it, not really spicy as most of have already said, just a kick, includes bacon. Last the the Mushroom burger. Which also included bacon? It was not the juiciest, but tasted good. Did like meat to bun ratio. Customer service not there strong suit, cashier left me waiting for a bit, and when she came back she seemed like she did not want to be there (she wasnt angry, just distant/aloof). I would have to return back to confirm if this is a pattern? Prices were $10 a burger, cheaper than todays usual standard prices from most burger places. Overall can recommend. Easy, no fuss, straightforward burger place. Will contine my hunt for my juicy burger! Where do yall recommend?? Pro tip- if ordering to go, ask for the meat to be placed on the side so your burger doesn't get soggy on the way home sitting on the bread. Thank me later read more

A few days late but here's my review...... Located off Houston avenue you'll find this golden gem! Literally the best burger in town and I know burgers! All burgers are a half pound and seared to a sizzle perfection which amplifies the taste of the burger! The aesthetics of this place is nice and unique which gives you that classic diner feel! Ordered the cowboy burger and it came on Texas toast which was amazing!!!!! Hands down best burger in town! Cowboy burger includes a "Fried Egg, House Fried Pickles, Grilled Onions, Bacon, American, Swiss, Mayo, Mustard, Lettuce, and Tomatoes on Texas Toast." Overall rating 10/10 read more

It's just ok. I got the blue moon burger and it had a weird taste. Fries are frozen from a bag and nothing special. Over priced for what they think is unique and quality. read more

And those tator tots was crunchy and flavorful. This is a nice sleepy spot off Washington Ave. This is one of the best burgers with all the fixings. Get by there and try them out and I promise you. read more

This burger was super mid. Nice little presentation but this was not it. The flavor just wasn't there. Egg rolls were about the same as any other eggroll. And they were actually better than the burger. I'm not saying it was horrible but I wish I still lived close to Red Wagon. Would not order again or recommend. Should have focused on the melanated reviews lol ijs read more

As of April 2022, Stanton City Bites is still TO-GO only. I forgot how much I really liked this place. I stopped by after a climbing session down the street and worked up an appetite. I met up a friend and noticed that the place is still togo only. I'm not sure if masks are still required, but I still wore one. The sign on the door says no mask, no entry, but I definitely saw a few people drop by with no masks picking up togo orders. I had the spicy chipotle burger and shared an order of chili cheese fries. And man oh man, the burger was juicy, tasty, and delicious. The ingredients tasted fresh and I inhaled my burger. Their buns are fluffy and just the right amount of bite in a burger bun. 10/10 My friend ordered the Luke Skywalker burger with the crispy fried bacon and he also inhaled his burger. 10/10 As for the chili cheese fries, I definitely loved it. I feel like its almost better than Henderson and Kane (yikes!). I kept texting my significant other how good their burger and fries were and that we needed to make a stop together one day. When we got our food, my friend and I decided to pop the hatch and eat on the back of my SUV. It was a nice day out, and we didn't want to drive home to eat our burger. Burgers like these need to be eaten right then and there. So that's what we did. I'll definitely remember to have Stanton on a rotation list of burgers to eat on a whim. I can't believe I forgot about them! They are also Asian owned! Gotta support the Asian Community. They really do know how to make a damn good burger! read more

This is a great burger spot with old-school vibes. I always order the Classic Burger (and ask for halal meat). The burger had great structural integrity. It did not fall apart when I ate it. The burger itself was juicy, cooked perfectly, and had the perfect proportion of toppings. Overall, a great value for the price. I will definitely be back! read more

"Holy cow" burger is aptly named! My son kept begging for bites of mine. Service was good and everything was delicious. Atmosphere is comfy and relaxed. Not our first time there and won't be our last. read more

Went to SCB again this weekend! This time we tried the Miss Piggy burger and the Holy Cow burger with a side of tots. The tots were awesome -- very crispy and fresh. Of the burgers, the Holy Cow was very good (the mixture of cheeses is perfect with the burger). The Miss Piggy certainly earned its name very bacon and pork forward in its flavor. Overall, I think the Holy Cow is my favorite burger at Stanton City Bites. read more

Peeps. I checked this spot out based on my Elite Fam and I thought it was okay. The inside is cool with the old timer vibe and the cheeseburger was good.

My family and I visited Stanton's this evening for the first time and it was solid! While the fries (waffle, cajun, Italian), tots and onion rings were all decent, what stood out to me was my burger! I got the Spicy Chipotle burger, which in my opinion honestly wasn't spicy, but it did have great depth of flavor. I especially enjoyed the jalapeño bun it was served on. I think if I return, though, I'll ask for a turkey patty instead of beef and I'll add jalapeños to give it more kick. Overall, it was super solid burger for sure. read more

For a Friday it seems to be bustling during lunch hour. This place is unique. It has a classic man 60-70's chill vibe. Almost feels like a man cave. I heard this place started out as a grocery store that served burgers on Monday and eventually converted to a full time restoraunt after popular demand for their burgers. The menu seems to be full of unique options that give your tastebuds a run for options if that's what you want in a hamburger place. I ordered the Blue Moon burger with Italian Fries. I really enjoyed the smooth and savory taste of this blue cheese burger. I felt the onions were a little over grilled but I want complaining as the char just added that extra flavor. Fries were seasoned and covered in cheese which was very similar to truffle fries. This place was very enjoyable and Employees are super kind. read more

First visit to Stanton's. Was in the area with my wife running e. Where has this been all my foodie life? I put Stanton's and JLB Burgers neck and neck for top spot in Houston. All burgers are a half pound. Big enough to split with someone else if you get fries. Will be back when I'm in the area for lunch read more

Stanton's City Bites - Chipotle Burger - Burgers Near Me - Houston, Texas

Well I guess I'm just bragging, but so many people have commented on the building, I thought I was would tell them that the house was built well before 1900. It was built by my great grandmother, Dora Franke. She was the workhorse of the family due to my great grandfather's drinking. She started a boarding house, a laundry, and a livery stable. She cooked for the residents every day. They delivered laundry in a horse drawn buggy. Houston's streets were dirt. The house used to be one story, but it was raised and a new addition was built underneath the original house. That's how they did it then. I've only eaten there once and took my mother when she was still in her 90s Great owners, and the burgers were great! They treated my mother with special care and respect. read more

All the positive reviews led us here. Y'all, I'm really disappointed. I had high hopes but left unfulfilled. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing? We got the "triple grilled cheese" and the cheese was not even melted. We basically got super thick toasted bread with a few thin slices of unmelted cheap cheese. Tots were loaded with poor quality chili and cheese. It was all very mediocre. I'm so disappointed. Good things: cool art work? 2 stars is generous. I'm shocked at the high ratings. One and done. read more

This was the spot. First time ever in Texas, in town for work and needed a quick but tasty bite for lunch. Found this place on Yelp and decided to stop in. Kinda had a 60's diner vibe feel with a little twist. I was the only patron in the restaurant around 1pm on a Tuesday afternoon. Asked the register employee for recommendations and he suggested the Chipotle burger, which after reading what was in it, looked delicious. I was extremely hungry and didn't think a burger alone would be enough so I ordered chili's tots and a sweet tea. Food came out rather quickly and honestly it didn't look like much but tasted delicious! Great tots, great chili, delicious burger. Bread on the burger was left a lot of crumbs as it was toasted I believe but everything inside was spectacular. The crispy bacon made gave a nice contrast in feel. Highly recommend! read more

What a cute little place. Always on a quest for the best burgers. Just driving around on a Sunday and ran across this place. I love a step back in time and the decor was so cool. The burgers were really good but mine was a little more rare than I like. But that's only because I didn't know that they made them that way so probably if I asked them to make it more well done they would do that. The flavor was real good. This was the first time I've seen a burger that had the veggies on the bottom bun instead of on top. But the taste was good. The french fries, of course were good and crispy. The patty was a good size. Worth a drop in. I'll go back to try it again read more

Stanton's decor has a old Tex Mex antique store vibe with many food options. The staff is nice and helpful. I purchased a half pound turkey burger and ginger ale. By the time I was finished eating I felt motivated to continue my day stress free! read more

Staff was great and helpful for our 1st visit. Burgers were amazing and files and onion rings were perfect! Love this little spot!

Let me start off with this is not a bad burger. My biggest issue is my burger being cooked well done when I asked for medium rare. I also think the price is a tad too high. $17 for a burger and fries not including a drink is a little steep. Parking is not the best. Make sure not to park in the lot across the street, otherwise you will probably be towed. The service was fine. You go to the front and order. They'll give you a number and then bring out your food. When I'm rating restaurants, if something is five stars, then it wowed me. Four stars is equivalent to I would come back. Unfortunately this place doesn't scream I must go back hence the average rating. read more
