Second time coming to this place, not this one exactly but both locations (Montrose and Heights) and they seem to both have the same quality. First time going I went with their bbq burger and first impressions my socks were definitely knocked off lol. This is the first place that I had ever been to that lets you decide how you want your patty cooked (medium, medium well, well done etc.) and medium well takes the cake for me. Second time going I tried their smoke stack burger and that was a solid 4/5 for me. The burger has pulled pork, egg, mac n cheese, bbq sauce, mayo and the patty (subbed out the coleslaw). Definitely not a combo I thought I would've liked but this smacks. Over all, this place might be on the pricier side at about $11-$20 for a meal but I'd definitely say it's worth it no doubt about it. I give this place a 4/5 and not a 5 solely because of the quality of the fries compared to the Montrose location. May have just been near the bottom of the bucket but they were a bit soggy and all small. Just me knit picking, over all awesome place, would recommend!! read more

Poor service today. I wanted to take my dog here to enjoy a pup cup on his birthday, but when I approached the counter we were asked to leave because dogs are not allowed. Dogs aren't allowed but they serve pup cups? I've been here before with my dog and it was never an issue, but for some reason it was today. Felt very embarrassed, frustrated and offended by the poor treatment so we left. I didn't want to argue with the bizarre rules and did not want to give them my money. No pup cup for my birthday dog sadly. Very disappointing. read more

Great location, decent parking in the private lot but limited. Friendly welcoming staff. I tried the BBQ burger. It was OK I asked for a medium cook and it was more on the well side. Many ingredients on the burger but not much flavor in the patty. Fries were cooked well with good flavor. Food came out hot and quick. Elvis boozy milkshake was good. If you like chocolate peanut butter and cognac you'll enjoy this shake. Be ready for the pretzel bites throughout. Plenty of seating, nice full bar, tvs and fans throughout. The wings recently added to the menu looked good from afar. Willing to give them another try and try a different burger on the menu. I do appreciate their reward point system. read more

I don't typically leave negative reviews, but I honestly would not recommend The Burger Joint based on my experience. I'm a bit surprised by how popular it is. I ordered the BBQ burger to-go, and unfortunately, it was one of the worst burgers I've had. It lacked flavor and tasted almost like it had been reheated. The bun and overall burger were extremely soggy, so much so that it felt like it had been drenched in liquid. The vegetables were also off in texture, almost stringy, which made the whole thing even less enjoyable. The fries were just okay but leaned toward soggy and greasy as well. The chicken tenders were decent, nothing special. Service was fine, but it does get very busy, and the line builds up quickly. On a positive note, the milkshake was definitely the highlight. It was thick and flavorful, honestly the best part of the meal. The ambiance is also nice, especially for a late-night spot. I'm giving 2 stars mainly because of the milkshake. Everything else was pretty disappointing. Maybe I caught them on an off day, but based on this visit, I'd only come back for the shakes. read more

Was looking for BBQ but all the lines were crazy long. At the stop light made a spontaneous burger decision. The Burger joint was a great choice. I had a bacon burger with pepper jack, arugula, jalapeños, and special sauce. It was fantastic. The onion rings and the sweet potato fries were also great and cooked a perfect perfection. The beer selection was spot on. couldn't ask for a better burger joint. read more

Out of all the Burger Joints in Houston, I can say without a shadow of a doubt that this place is the best both in terms of consistency and atmosphere. Workers there are always exceptionally nice, I have yet to have any issues with any of my orders, and in always left content with my food. My only gripe is the same gripe I have with other locations though, and it's that the vegetarian patty leaves a lot to be desired. I do think their impossible party is solid, but at a $5 surcharge it's hard for me to rationalize paying for it. read more

I really enjoy Burger Joint, but I was super disappointed with my recent Nashville chicken sandwich. While I absolutely loved the crunch, it was overly salty. So much so, that I just tasted salt & no heat. If you have a salt sensitivity, I definitely would avoid. I probably should have asked a manager if all of that salt was in the seasoning or if perhaps they salt afterwards & someone went overboard. Had it been the latter, they probably would have made me another one. They have excellent customer service. I'm sure that my sandwich had more than a day's suggested sodium intake if that's an issue for you. read more

I love that between both Burger Joint's there is consistency in taste, so I can go to the Montrose Location or the Heights Location and know I'll have my craving fulfilled. I also love that I can recommend them to friends and I'll know that due to the consistent taste- they'll be in for a good time. This location has plenty of parking- woohoo- and really nice servers/order takers! Seriously the guy taking our order was so incredibly helpful and ensured that even though I was making a lot of substitutions, he got them right and even reassured me that he himself is that picky, haha! It's just nice to be seen and not get an eye roll, but I like what I like! Also the service is quick but never at the expense of fresh food. Plenty of seating indoors and out, and great food and folks! What more could one want. read more

Came here for lunch and had a great meal. The staff was super friendly and were able to tell me about modifications they can make to burgers for dietary needs. I was excited to find out that they had gluten free buns! I ordered the Kimchi burger with sweet potato fries and got a beef patty for my little one. We did wait a little for our food but it was worth the wait. The kimchi burger was the best mix of savory, sweet, sour and umami flavors. They have fantastic sweet potato fries and we enjoyed their different ketchups. They have great options for indoor and outdoor seating and lots of TVs around so you can catch the game. They do have a full bar and specialty drinks so I cant wait to come try more of the menus. Parking may be a little tricky but you can park in the lot across the street. read more

It's my first time here I came for a togo order and the cashier girl (Lesly) that took my order was rude and had an attitude problem. First i stood there for awhile waiting for someone to take my order and she saw me and continued to clean, then finally takes my order with such an attitude i was tryna figure out what i did wrong. I even said Thank you after i ordered and she didn't say anything just made a face....Probably not coming back read more

Pretty good location for a quick meeting with my friend. He recommended The Burger Joint in the Heights neighborhood. This was my first time here. There were many good things about this place. It shares a parking lot with The Taco Stand and The Pizza Place (coming soon). Today was a rainy day. There were many puddles in the lot, including the ramp to get here. The ordering counter is located deep in the restaurant and outdoor seating area is wrapped around the indoor space. Because of rain, the actual outdoor seating became limited. But we still found a comfortable seat. The service was decent. Since I don't eat meat and cheese, my choice is limited to veggie burger. My friend had a fire burger. The cashier recommended fire with plant-based patty. I was against that idea because that would send me to the emergency room with the heat. Hahaha I also ordered an order of Queso Fries with cheese sauce on the side. I love the freshly cut fries taste. Overall, we had a good experience. read more

Stopped in for a quick burger this evening since it was cool evening in Houston. Sat at the bar. Quick and attentive service. The bartender actually was polite and told his opinion which I great appreciated. I got the Opa burger medium which was great. The feel was causal and simple. Just like a burger joint should be. Overall honestly the kids cheeseburger and fries is plenty for even an adult. read more

I really wanted to give this place 4 or 5 stars but after eating there I just couldn't. First of all the vibes are perfect. I love the atmosphere of this place. The music was on point and created a nice, enjoyable, and fun background for our dinner. The staff was very nice, helpful and attentive. The food... the burger was cooked a perfect medium. The burger was constructed nicely, buns were good, nice ratio of meat to bun to toppings etc BUT they had ZERO seasoning. It was the most boring and bland burger I've ever had. The only flavor was from the onions. It was disappointing because I really like the vibes and would absolutely come back. I'm hoping it was an off night. I would be open to coming back again though. read more

Always a good, but not great, burger spot. The onion rings are great!! Good variety of burgers. Good milk shake too.

Big shout out to Will the bartender. He did such an incredible job, he made like 50 milkshakes and was still making the drinks at the bar. I love the burgers here, when I want a home cooked style burger I come here. The cooks really give it up so please bless their pockets !! It's has indoor and outdoor seating, very spacious, it was busy but that really didn't matter because they were quick with the food. read more

Came in on a Friday afternoon at 3, surprisingly busy Dress code: very casual Food 5/5: ordered their mushroom burger and added a patty and had some of their fries. Burger was amazing, highly recommend the Gouda cheese added to the burger even if you don't get the mushroom burger. Fries were pretty mid but pretty large quantity Ambiance 4/5: casual bar ambiance, most of the seated area is like a covered patio. Clean but nothing that wowed Service 4/5: counter service ordering, staff pretty good about clearing food away but everything else is counter service Value 5/5: 8$ for a massive burger is a pretty good deal for their classic burger. Overal 4.7/5: highly weighed the food and value given my expectations of the place. Fantastic burger, will definitely be back for more Parking: parking lot shared with the taco stand, quite crowded read more

Ordered (3/30/26) BBQ Burgers with a veggie patty swap. Wrote a specific note: 'No meat or meat-based item -- religious dietary requirement.' They sent it with bacon anyway. My wife and mother ate it without knowing. The note was there. Someone ignored it. Never coming back. read more

I decided to give the burger joint another try because my last bad review the manager reached out to me this time. It was even worse. I flexitarian partner cheeseburger had no cheeseburger my vegan burger. Had mayonnaise on it. Daughter was totally screwed up. My dog seems to enjoy the vegan burger, but that's really not the point they can't seem to get this right there's over 3000 restaurants in the city. This is not one I would recommend for anyone carnivore or not. They can't seem to put cheese on a cheeseburger VEGAN they put mayonnaise on a vegan burger not good. read more

We got the fire burger with the hand cut fries. The burgers had some spice with the jalapenos! It was delicious! They could out in a little more to kick up the spice. The burgers can get a little messy so I would recommend having quite a few napkins handy :) I tried the hand cut fries with the spicy ketchup and it tasted like a sweet chili sauce- would recommend trying it out. The place had outdoor seating which was great for a spring day. I would recommend seating a little closer to the store as the outside is right next to the road and can get pretty windy. There was plenty of parking and I'm excited to see the taco store and pizza place all open up near the same area!! The servers were friendly and delivered our trays right to our table. read more

I used to go there often, now I am not going back at all. Far too many mistakes. I get takeout or have it delivered and while it's a good burger, I am always missing 1 or more items. Giving me something "Free" to make up for it just does not cut it anymore for me. There are plenty of other choices for a good burger to keep putting up with the issues with Burger joint. Friday, I ordered a double bacon cheeseburger to go. I got home & I had no bacon & it was a single burger not a double. 9 out of 10 times whatever I order is either missing items or the order is ruined some other way. Another order recently, I live about 10 minutes from The Burger Joint, I ordered extra crispy fries because they hold up better to transport, of course I did not get them & I got a pile of wilted mushy fries, these were definelty not extra crispy. I am done with buying anything from The Burger Joint read more

I got the BBQ cheeseburger which had a big patty bacon and a huge onion ring on i and bbq sauce. It was good I give it a B- but the French fries were great and they have a spicy ketchup that I was not expecting to be so good! Plus the French fries were nice and fresh! The service was quick and friendly. I'd recommend going at night and sitting on the patio. You catch a nice breeze which also has a bar for a nice ambiance. A cute little place to take a date after a movie. Grade given B- read more

They have a nice size patio and limited indoor seating. The service was cool. The burger was okay. I love a good buttery bun which they didn't have. Theirs buns were thick and dry.

This is probably one of the most popular burger, places in our area! I love that they have ample parking spaces as well! My boyfriend really enjoys this spot because the burgers are consistently good, the ingredients are fresh, and the service is quick. They do have an order-and-pay-at- front type of set up which is great for large groups. I don't usually get fries, but this time they came out very undercooked and or very soggy. So I really didn't even end up eating all my fries. We also ordered a child's hamburger, which was actually pretty big for the size. Other than the fry issue, everything else was good. The food came out pretty quickly, and there was plenty of seating available. read more

The Burger Joint is one of my favorite burger places in Houston. The atmosphere here is fun and casual with lots of outdoor patio seating.

This is an all time favorite and I will continue to come here regularly. read more

The bbq burger was pretty big and tasty. It's definitely worth the $12 that it is priced at. I wish the bun was toasted a bit longer because it fell apart quite quickly. I can't complain about the service, it's pretty standard. Nothing above average, you order, you get your food, period. Ambiance is nice, especially if you like being outside. They have heaters for the winter so that's good. I liked enough to go back occasionally. read more

This review for The Burger Joint is long overdue! I have dined in and ordered Uber eats from here plenty of times. The food is always GREAT. Yesterday, I dined in because I was craving a burger. I usually get the barbecue burger, but they had an off the menu burger that I wanted to try. It was the steakhouse burger and it had horseradish on it. The flavor was pretty good, but I am such a creature of habit when it comes to this place. I always get the barbecue burger and I wish I would have ordered it for myself LOL. My boyfriend did get the barbecue burger and he said it was amazing as always. We also split an order of the sweet potato fries because they do give you a good amount. Another star of the show at this place is the spicy ketchup. It is so so so so good!!! There is plenty of free parking available. When you come in you order at the counter and they give you a number. They bring the food to your table pretty quickly. They do have milkshake options, including boozy milkshakes. They also have a full bar and a lot of ciders. Indoor seating is limited, but so much seating available outside. It is a dog friendly patio just so you know. They usually play sporting events on the tvs. The service is always pretty good and everyone is very helpful. The burger joint is my go to for burgers in my area. read more
