    Decided to come here on a Friday night with my sister and dog because they have a dog-friendly patio. This is my first time at this location, as I've only been to the Montrose location. They were pretty busy with it being Friday night. At around 7:30pm, there were a few groups ahead of me to order at the counter. Since we had the dog, we needed to sit on the patio. It was a colder night, so I kindly asked the employee behind the counter if they could turn on the heaters outside. He told me that they didn't have any propane, but when I asked about that further, he said he'd ask his manager. Upon returning, he told me that the manager would be right out to turn on a heater for us. The manager came out about 10 minutes later and started tinkering with a couple of the heaters. Indeed, no propane, but he finally found one that had propane and kindly lit that one for us and we moved over to be next to it. Props for the effort, but on cold nights like these, they should be prepared with the propane because I saw a few other groups wanting to sit outside but none of the other heaters worked. On Fridays, they have a fish & chips special that includes 4 pieces of fish, a mountain of potato wedges, and tartar sauce all for $14.99. This diverted my original intent of a burger because what are the chances I'll be back on a Friday? I thought this was a great deal, as the fish in itself tasted solid and was very filling; I couldn't even finish the chips and had to bring some home as leftovers. We also ordered a side of onion rings. These were really crispy and perfect for dipping in ketchup. Note their condiment station by the drink station includes ketchup, spicy ketchup, and mustard. To drink, I got a Saloon Door Ridiculous AF beer and it came in a half-pint glass for $4. I was almost expecting a full pint glass, but for the price it makes sense and perhaps the smaller glass size because this was a stout. Overall, Burger Joint is one of the first places that comes to mind when talking burgers in Houston. I can attest to the quality of their burgers from previous experiences at the Montrose location, but definitely don't sleep on the fish & chips if you find yourself here on a Friday.

    Good beer, perfect service from Cj

    Cj 10/10 customer service he will have you laughing as long as you have humor yourself. Nora is also the sweetest bar tender, I would come back to chill and vibe at the bar or to get a good meal.

    This is actually like my 5th time here but I never get the chance to snap a pic or post a review before inhaling my food. The food here is ALWAYS on point. Super happy I got to try the burger of the month for October: Slash Daddy Angus beef patty, Munster, grilled onions, "slasher sauce", lettuce on a black ink bun! Super fresh, definitely made to order. Fries here are great, hand cut and unsalted so you can put your own desired amount on. Good crispy-ness to them. 10/10 always! Love this local spot.

    We are from Florida. The food here is tasty and delicious. Found here by accident and think this place is large and open with happy friendly people with service thats Texas friendly. Great local joint

    I was very excited to visit the burger joint based on all the great reviews. I left feeling a little underwhelmed. The service was amazing and there was plenty of seating, but I felt that our burgers were just OK. We should shared a classic and a Swiss mushroom burger. Of the two the Swiss burger was our favorite. I can't quite put my finger on what was missing, but they were not as flavorful as I'd hoped for. Prices are very reasonable so I guess you get what you pay for. I guess maybe I'm more of a craft burger, girl.

    I can officially say that I'm hooked, the freshness, the fries and the atmosphere. So amazing.

    We wanted to find a place to sit outside and the Burger Joint was the solution. It was our first time in and it will not be our last. The portion sizes are crazy and the food was delicious. They also have boozy shakes which sounded delicious. I may just have to try one when we return. They had multiple televisions showing multiple shows. They had plenty of outdoor seating and the service was great!

    Fabulous spot, nearly empty at 4pm. Staff are upbeat and optimistic still. The mac and cheese is absolutely divine here, along with the mushroom burger.

    Food was excellent and came out hot and fresh. You order at the counter and they bring you the food at your table. The counter service was not the best. Cashier was not happy to be there and was just going through the motions of her job. The restaurant was nice and clean and the bathrooms were clean as well. Wish I could put a 4.5 rating but it wouldn't let me.

    I've been to other Burger Joint locations, so I definitely knew what to expect coming in. It's a chill space that's great for groups and hangouts with friends! Me into the menuuu. Lots of drink options (shakes + boozy shakes, frozens, cocktails, mocktails, beer, soda/juice, and wine!) I decided to try the frozen pink lemonade and it was tasty!!! My server was super helpful at helping me navigate the menu. I ordered the fire burger and subbed it for fried chicken, caramelized onions, and added garlic aioli. I also got sweet potato fries on the side. And yall that meal was SO good! They even have a punch card where you get a free burger after 10 visits. Might take me a while, lol but it's a cool option to have!

And listen, I'm basically a certified alcoholic (just kidding... allegedly), so trust me when I say I know a good drink when I taste one. I've sampled enough lovely liquors in my day to know what's good and what's just overpriced sadness in a glass. Bella is COMMITTED to her craft. She literally told me she studies cocktail recipes day and night. Like... how cute is that? Meanwhile I can barely commit to folding my laundry. Then she proceeds to make me the SMOOTHEST, yummiest espresso martini my tastebuds have ever had the privilege of experiencing. One sip and I was astonished, emotional, slightly turned on, all of the above. This woman has the shake hands of a goddess. I think I fell in love a little bit. Also, shoutout to the super friendly man in the Hawaiian shirt and Bob Ross-style beret. He brought immaculate vibes to the whole place and made the experience even better (for the most part). Anyways, the drinks at this place are phenomenal. 1000% give this place a try. And if you get Bella as your bartender, congratulations- you ARE one of God's favorites.

The ambiance was nice as we walked in, and after being quickly seated next to a window, the atmosphere was nice. They did end up covering the window before we started eating, and the little bulb way above us and candle did not really provide light enough for us to eat (I get it is mood lighting, but I like seeing what I eat). The food was really solid, though. A few times I've been in the past it was all too salty, but this time around it was much better. I got the Farm Bird, and it was very juicy and had a very nice crunch. The Fish and Chips were nice and flaky, while the Pork Chop was extremely juicy and rich. The shrimp in the rigatoni was definitely oversalted, as well as the broccolini greens in the pork chop dish. The appetizers we got (Brussels Sprouts and Spinach Artichoke Dip) were both okay, though I prefer garlic bread to the chip for the dip and the sprouts were a little one note. The whiskey cake itself was very good, though I recommend only one plate for a group of 6 or less because of how rich it is, especially if you get the ice cream addition. Overall a very surprising experience, and while it carries a heavy price tag, it is absolutely a good choice if you're looking for a nicer meal out here.

Getting to this area from Pearland is much easier than heading into Houston so I was more than happy to come here. I've been here a couple of times and the most recent visit brought me and a party bus full of friends here on a Saturday night. The place gets busy but parking hasn't been an issue on any of my visits. It's a narrow bar that may seem tight, but it keeps going towards the back with more seating as well as a spacious patio. Customer service is always great and the bartenders know their stuff here. They have a pretty extensive drink menu here and there is something for everyone's preferences. They have a long list of cocktails and they can make you anything you want as well. The staff are experts here. They also have an impressive bourbon collections with about 200 kinds to choose from. Along with their cocktails, they have a long list of martinis. I love a good martini and here they have so many options. You can't go wrong with my favorite espresso martini, but the one that wowed me here was the Cucumber Patch. Cucumber flavor profile is not typically something I seek out, but I was in the mood for something refreshing and this was suggested to me. Get it and thank me later. As far as food goes, they have a separate BBQ business on site that sells some food. Don't sleep on the Bay Area if you are looking for a nice cocktail. This place will quickly be one of your favorites. I will surely be back.

They had our table already prepared which was fantastic, but the restaurant was slow and not very busy. We could've just walked in and, other than having to wait for them to prepare our table, been seated right away. Our waitress, Moriah, was fantastic! She had tables on opposite sides of the restaurant, but since they weren't very busy it didn't seem to be an issue. There were a couple of times when we had to ask for drink refills, but it wasn't horrible. She was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was good, and I appreciate that they have some options that you wouldn't find just anywhere. That's the kind of thing I look for in a restaurant. However there were a few places where they fell short. 1. There was no kids menu. This may not be a big deal for a lot of people. It wasn't a big deal for me since my toddler eats pretty much anything, so we shared. It WAS however a big deal for my 6 year-old niece who does NOT eat anything. They told my sister that they could make some butter noodles or take the harissa off of a pizza and make it a smaller size for her. She opted for the butter noodles which were bland and unseasoned. Then they have no salt or pepper on the tables so she couldn't even season them until she asked for some. It helped, but they still weren't very good. 2. The food is overpriced. It's good food, but the prices were a little steep compared to the quality. My sister and I discussed this later and we both had the same thought. We didn't understand why they weren't busy because they had the potential to be, and it just felt like they maybe were trying TOO hard. I would go back, but this wouldn't be a regular choice for me. I'd be happy to go if someone chose this as an option, and I might even choose to go back for a date night or something. I like the atmosphere of the place as well as how open it felt... I don't love a crowded space. Another thing I loved was the Smoked Caramel Bread Pudding. I'm surprised I liked it so much because I don't typically love added smoke flavor, but this worked! Listen, I LOVE bread pudding. If there's ever bread pudding on the menu, I'm going to get it. This being my birthday dinner dessert was absolutely fine by me. The edges were a little caramelized and it was absolutely delicious and everyone who tried it agreed. Give this place a try, but just know that you may pay a little more than what it's worth. It's still tasty food though! Also... try the bread pudding!
