I stopped by The Burger Joint because I was craving a good cheeseburger. I have to say, though, the burger itself was just okay. I ordered a cheeseburger with fries and added a fried egg to my burger. Everything was fresh and cooked to order, which I definitely appreciated, but the burger patty could have used more seasoning. It just needed a little more flavor. If I go back, I'll probably ask if they can season the patty a little more. Now, the fries? Those were really good! I also had a couple of beers, so no complaints there. There was no wait for seating, but I went on a weekday, so I'm sure that helped. The service was pretty good, and overall it was a decent, laid-back experience. Would I go back? Probably. The food was fresh, the fries were great, and the service was good. I'd just need my burger to come with a little more seasoning next time. A cheeseburger craving deserves a cheeseburger that hits! read more

The Burger Joint - I always forget to take a pic before I start eating! - Burgers Near Me - Houston, Texas

The Burger Joint has a great atmosphere, a well designed layout, exceptional customer service, and some of the best fries I've had. Unfortunately, the burger itself was average (classic burger). I couldn't tell whether it was the quality of the meat or the seasoning, but it lacked the flavor I expected. I've had much better burgers at several other places, which was disappointing because I had high hopes. This place gets almost everything right. If they put some time into improving the burger, it could easily be a 10 out of 10. read more

This was a cute little burger place on Gessner. We had heard about it and decided to stop in. They were counter service and family friendly. The had inside and patio dining. The burgers were great and so were the cheeseburger egg rolls. Give those a try. They have a mixture of standard and high top tables. I only had one real complaint. The restrooms were outside of the building. They were under a covered walk way but that is terrible inconvenience for those who have small children. Just my opinion, I know some may not agree. Their food was good and definitely worth checking out. read more

I have been meaning to visit Burger Joint ever since this new location opened and finally made it last week. My visit was for lunch and I was worried about parking space but there was plenty of room in back. The building is similar in design to their other locations. An open air interior where the ordering counter is and then a covered and enclosed patio dining area with further outdoor seating on picnic tables covered by umbrellas. I ordered my usual classic burger with no onions or cheese ($10) and added a regular size order of fries ($5) and a soft drink ($3.50). With tax it was 19.99....oh well there goes a $20 bill. The food was delivered to me in about 10 minutes. Their burgers are solid in construction with a big beef patty on a nice bun and dressed. It was very good tasting. Also my order of fries was large enough for two people and I appreciate their hand cut fries. Very tasty. I wonder why other restaurants can't do this rather than serving the frozen out of a bag type. It was a good meal as I expected. I know that beef is expensive and all prices are up. However, I wish they offered combo prices. My meal was basic as it gets. A regular burger with no cheese, regular size fries and a soft drink and no change from a $20 bill. With cheese and ordering a specialty burger meal would have cost me at least $25. I guess the $15 hamburger meal is almost extinct. Sad! read more

Went with the family today for the first time. Overall we liked it and will be back. The music was mostly 80s which was great. Food was good. I felt the price of the burgers was a little high for the overall size. They don't skimp on the ingredients or anything, but paying $12-15 for a burger before the fries? You order at the counter and they bring your food so you don't have to pay a tip. The condiments, drinks, etc are self serve. When we were done they came and took our trays. But there are also openings on the condiment counter which could be for dumping your tray. So not sure of the expectation. There is a full bar with a margarita machine. Parking was easy but we weren't there at peak lunch hour. It's worth trying for sure. read more

Where do I start.... Super excited when I saw the construction going on, a Burger Joint in my neighborhood! I have great things to say about the one in Montrose. So...I was expecting this location to be great as well! Welp, I stopped by after work finally yesterday in the 5pm hour. It was not busy most people were getting off work for a quick bite. Now, they decided to share a lot with their Taco Stand and boy parking is going to be horrible when the Taco stand opens. Parking at the Burger Joint is tight and barely enough for the size of this place. They should have made this location a Togo....in and out not a full service if they were going to share the lot. I have no clue where folks will park when both businesses are fully operational. Next, upon walking in a lady was helping another customer and so a young man, Aiden approached the other register to help me. Get this, there was no may I help you or anything said. Just a motion with his head back and chin up. He did it twice. I was taken aback, Aiden we are not bros!!! Like what happened to quality customer service!!! I just stood there until he opened his mouth and said something. After being in shock, I guess he and his female coworker felt it was funny and that I was the problem. Wow!!! The service was extremely lazy, I felt like I was watching an episode of Laguna beach. I ordered my food to go. Never will I patronize this location until they get proper customer service. Finally, I asked for the Aioli to be in the side. I ordered a side of fries and the Mahi Mahi burger. Welp, when I got home....oh yes there was the Aioli on the burger. BOTH SIDES of the bread. The frozen margarita was too sweet, I should have gotten it on the rocks. :( This location is a NO for me. read more

Staff is nice, the place is clean. Appreciate how many sauce stations there were and the extra to go boxes and bags being accessible vs having to go up to the counter to get it. I got a burger that had pulled pork, mac&cheese, and slaw. Also asked for mine to be cooked medium and it was just as requested. I was really happy with mine and would definitely get it again (though I have plans to get the "fire" burger next time!). Also their spicy ketchup is good. Main negatives were the insanely loud music and opening both garage style doors on a cold day. Like we chose the spot we were at because it was away from the already opened one. Thankfully though we just about done eating. The regular fries are also really plain so i wouldnt bother ordering them again. read more

Stopped by after bingo at around 1am. Staff was nice. Ordered the kimchi burger. Cooked to the correct temperature and a lot bigger than I excepted. Kimchi gave it a great extra crunch and flavor to the burger along with the egg! Very good. I also got the boozy rootbeer float! The alcohol rootbeer was not too much to my liking. Tasted weird to me. Yet with the ice cream, it helped mellow the taste down. read more

A fairly new establishment with an amazing outdoor patio. Great for football season or watching sports with family and friends. The lady at the register was very nice, patient, and helped us with our order as first-timers. We ordered a queso hotdog and substituted the raw onions for grilled ones, which was surprisingly no extra charge. Fries are not included with the hotdog, so we ordered those separately, and the order is enough for two or as a shareable side. The frozen margaritas are 7/10, mighty flavor, small kick! read more

My husband and I we are suckers for some good burgers and the burger joint just recently opened up near us and we were so thrilled! Absolute enjoyed both the burgers and we cannot wait to go back! The Fire burger lives up to its name, it's spicy and juicy, the pattie is cooked to perfection. The Rodeo burger is a seasonal item, it's your classic bacon, bbq sauce, cheddar cheese with caramelised onions combo and it did not disappoint!! We also enjoyed the Mac&Cheese and the bacon parm fries was chef kiss! Next time we go I definitely want to try their shakes!! Definitely recommend this place and best part they have various locations all throughout Houston! read more

3/29/2026: First, ignore the red tint to my photos. We were sitting under a red umbrella, and it bled through to my photos. We had lunch at the semi new (open 2 months) TBJ for the first time on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Everything was good, but the restaurant is located on a very busy and loud street. If you know Gessner, you'll understand. On this day, we counted 6 fire trucks/ambulances that went by. Probably won't be the norm, but it was still annoying enough to leave a mark in my mind. To be fair, I am a noise sensitive person. I noticed the music was quite loud. I think they were trying to drown out the traffic. For this reason, I would probably go again, but I would make it an early lunch or a late lunch. We went at exactly 12:30 pm, so it was very busy. This is a walk up and order type restaurant. You pay at the counter after ordering. They give you a number and bring your food to you when ready. The have high-top tables, regular tables, bar seating, and patio tables with and without umbrellas. TVs surround the inside and outside so it's easy to catch your favorite team while eating (GO ASTROS!). They will also change the station for you if you ask. Though loud, the music was great. Classic 80's hits. They have a fountain drink station. Next t the drinks, there is a sauce bar with spicy ketchup (not Whataburger, but it's good), mustard, mayo, regular ketchup, and more. My dad ordered the Rodeo burger. He loved it. My aunt ordered the classic burger. She liked hers. I ordered the smash burger. I didn't realize it had 2 patties, so it was larger than I needed but still very good. They use shredded romaine lettuce. I love shredded lettuce, but I prefer it to be iceberg. They have a good aioli sauce that is mixed with spicy ketchup. It was pretty dang good. Their mayonnaise is really good too. It tasted like there was a hint of garlic in it. The fries were terrific. You can tell they are hand cut. The onion rings were good, but I think they were frozen type. A little on the thicker side than I like. They should have done hand cut thin rings with flakey batter to go with their hand cut fries. That would have been impressive. The staff are all very nice and helpful. The restaurant is clean. Parking is behind the building and a little sparce when crowded. Total for 3 burgers, one order of fries, one order of onion rings, and 3 drinks was $62.84. I will go back, but I will go a different day and time. I will also choose a different seating section. I would like to try their hotdogs. I would also like to participate in their happy hour. I've already told my coworker, so I'll be back for that. This place is part of the "THE" restaurants. THE Taco Stand, THE Pizza Place, THE Burger Joint. A The Taco Stand is going in right next door to The Burger Joint, so I can only imagine the traffic will double along with the parking. But, I love me some tacos, so I will try it for sure. Not seeing where they will have a space to put The Pizza Place, so who knows on that restaurant. All in all, TBJ was good. I just personally prefer a quieter environment. The good out weight the bad though. TVs, patio, good food, good service... maybe they can add a clear "wall" to cut the street noise? (hint, hint ;)) read more

Loved this place! Such a fun atmosphere. Outdoor seating with lots of TVs, they have an in between seating which is technically inside and covered but you're close to outside and then they have a fully inside seating with a full bar. The burger was really good, my husband got the kimchi burger and really liked it. Fries are classic, no special seasoning but still good. The chocolate shake was good, not overly sweet or overly chocolatey. The only thing I was disappointed in was the ranch :( I love a good restaurant ranch with my burger and fries but this wasn't it. We will definitely be back to try more things!! The parking is slightly limited since the taco stand is opening next door soon, it is kind of hard to get to because of the location. The service was great, very friendly you order at the front and they bring it to you. read more

We were around this area and decided to stop here and we are so glad we did because their classic smash burger is amazing! We live in the Woodlands, but now we're gonna be craving this burger and might have to come back soon! The fries were also really good and the place is clean and the staff is friendly. I love that they have spicy ketchup! read more

I love Burger Joint, and I'm so happy they finally opened a location closer to me. I had been craving a burger for about a month, so it was the perfect treat after Lent. I ordered my usual Classic with fries, and as always, it was absolutely delicious. My sister and dad tried the Smoke Stack burger for their first visit, and they were really impressed with the flavor. Overall, we had a great lunch and are so excited to have this spot nearby now read more

This was my first time going to this specific Burger Joint (duh it opened within the past couple of weeks) and overall the experience was pretty much identical compared to the other locations in Houston. I ordered the Rodeo Burger substituted with a veggie pattie and the bacon on the side (I'm vegetarian but was with my girlfriend) and a side of fries and queso. While I did enjoy my burger overall, Ive always had issues with both the structural integrity and the taste of the veggie pattie. The pattie ends up stretching and breaking apart really easily, which honestly would be fine if it tasted good. My burger also ended up having bacon on it, because it was hidden underneath the cheese I almost didn't catch it. I'm sure they would've offered to remake it if I asked, but I ended up just picking it out. The fries were really crispy which I always enjoy, but there were some that tasted somewhat stale. Not sure what happened because out of the entire tray it was only around 5 of them but I thought I should mention it anyways. Service was friendly and expeditious as always, and the place was clean as a button, so no issues on that front. In terms of atmosphere, this might be a bit nitpicky, but with it being outside and so close to a feeder road the sound of traffic was pretty jarring for a laid back outdoor venue. Full disclosure I did go during rush hour so that definitely played a factor in it all, but I've gone during rush hour at their other locations before and it hasn't been an issue because they're located along less busy roads. read more

If you're craving a burger that actually hits, the Burger Joint is your place. No gimmicks, no fluff. Just ridiculously good burgers that taste like someone in the kitchen actually cares. The patties are juicy, seasoned to perfection, and cooked exactly how you ask. The buns are soft but sturdy enough to handle the glorious mess. And the toppings?? Fresh, generous, and balanced - not sliding off the back like they're trying to escape. The fries are crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and dangerously easy to keep on eating long after you said "you're full". Omg and you can't forget the milkshakes! Thick, creamy, and basically dessert therapy in a cup. The vibe is causal and laid-back, the staff is friendly without being fake about it, and your food comes out fast even when they're slammed. Bottom line: if you're in Spring Branch and want a burger that reminds you why burgers became famous in the first place, this is your spot! read more

Terrible customer service. My boyfriend and I came in for dinner tonight, and from the moment we walked through the door, we weren't even greeted. The employee, Emanuel, eventually came over to take our order and had the personality of someone who was being forced to work against his will. No greeting, no friendliness, no "hello," just a very obvious attitude. Then, while we were paying, my boyfriend asked about the points/rewards system. Instead of simply explaining how it works, Emanuel looked at him like he had asked the dumbest question in the world and responded, "Well, usually you're supposed to say something before you order." Okay... but how exactly are customers supposed to know that if nobody tells them? I told him that maybe it should be communicated to customers beforehand instead of making them feel stupid for not knowing. His tone and attitude throughout the interaction were completely unnecessary. And to be clear, I'm not upset about the points. I'm upset about the way we were treated. There is a huge difference between saying, "Oh, yes, you just have to let us know before ordering next time!" and speaking to someone in a condescending, irritated manner. We literally came in to order burgers and leave. Somehow the customer service made the experience unnecessarily uncomfortable. I even had to ask for the employee's name because the interaction bothered me that much. Emanuel, if you don't want to interact with customers, customer service might not be the best position for you. read more

Haven't been to burger joint in so long. This was their opportunity to shine at a new location on Gessner. Sadly they did not shine. The experience stunk. Ordered 2 burgers well done, mac and cheese, chili queso fries. Cashier messed up. Charged regular fries. Had to go back and get the order rang correctly. Burgers were not well done and had pink. Asked for tomato and pickles to be added to the fire burger. .25 cents for tomato and .75 cents for pickles is highway robbery. One burger had hell of lettuce. How about you put the right amount of lettuce and give me a damn pickle? Burgers packed in small 5x5 white box. Can't get them out without getting your hands covered in sauce. Mac and cheese ICE COLD. No flavor other than sliced processed American cheese. Chili queso fries packed deconstructed. I appreciate the fact if you all started with giving me hot fresh fries BUT that wasn't the case. Cold fries, cold chili, cold queso. Had to heat everything up in the micro. I do my best to shop local and give business to the community rather than going to chains BUT five guys is better and you can get 5 TIMES the pickles for free!!! AND A WELL DONE BURGER. read more

I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich and it was amazing! Me and my family originally were gonna go to The Taco Stand next door but due to the heat we went to The Burger Joint instead. The service was extremely good and we didn't have to wait long at all, everytime we drive past this location it is always busy so we are glad that we got to try it when it was calm and collected. Overall experience is a 10/10 and I would definitely recommend this to anyone! read more

I've been going to The Burger Joint Heights for a long time and love their burgers. I wanted to check out the new Memorial location because it's close to my house. I was underwhelmed. The burger was nothing like the ones at the other location. Small, thin, dry, and undercooked. Toppings were scarce. The burger in the photo was "medium well". The fries were good but definitely the bottom of the bag because they were all very small pieces. Parking is difficult with a very small lot behind the restaurant. Service was acceptable. Seating was good with a mix of high top tables with stools and regular tables and chairs. Prices were high in my opinion. With other more reliable burger places around, I doubt I'll be back. read more

This was my first time visiting the Burger Joint on Gessner. I placed my order for pick up curbside. I received a text after I arrived and checked in stating they were working on my order and then I received a notification when my order was ready, I waiting for someone to walk my order out but no one came outside so I sent a text that I was curbside, still no one came. So, I walked inside to check on my order, but there was one person at the counter server those walking in I waited a minute to try and ask her about my order but did not get her attention. I must say that the inside is spacious and they also have a patio. I then saw a sign on the other side of the room that said "pick up orders" so I walked over to see if my order was there. It was two bags there and one was my order so I just took my order and left. No one was there to assist me so really anyone could've picked up my order. I got home and I have to admit the food was great, fries a little cold and the bacon sauce came out the side. But, I requested no tomatoes on my chicken sandwich and what did it have... tomatoes! This was a definite minus for me as I'm allergic to tomatoes and if I had not checked, I could have had an allergic reaction so this is why I'm giving three stars. read more

Came in today to place a to-go order and was shocked to find my "medium" classic burger served like this. The center was extremely undercooked and appeared raw in multiple areas. I've eaten here several times before and have never had this issue, which made it even more disappointing. Unfortunately, I had already eaten part of the burger before realizing how undercooked it was. This was not what I would expect from a restaurant serving burgers, and it left me both disgusted and concerned about food safety. read more

The service here delivered pretty well I liked that the patties here are pretty decent not too thin, it is pretty good amount of garlic aioli spread on both sides of the buns. I wasn't sure it's as fresh as it should be but I would say the spacious between each tables and the setting of the whole restaurant very organized by not feeling too overwhelming in between me and other guests. I could say that both the service and the good good soft buns has made it to 4 stars. I haven't tried nothing more than the classic burgers but so far I would say the beef burgers was it's best of mediocrity beef quality for being at $8.99 it's decent enough. Give it try if you want to grab just a burger. read more

A busy Thursday night had our family searching for a great dinner spot after 9 PM, and we were so glad to find The Burger Joint on Gessner off I-10 in the Memorial area. Even though there was a healthy crowd, ordering was quick and easy. The atmosphere was welcoming, with plenty of comfortable space both inside and out on the deck. The food was fantastic. Their Angus burgers and fries were absolutely delicious, and there was a great variety of drinks to choose from as well. What truly made the experience special, though, was the outstanding customer service. Denni brought our food out quickly and was incredibly courteous and attentive. We had such a wonderful experience that we came back the very next evening for their Fish Friday special. The fish was savory, crispy, and perfectly battered, and the chips were just as tasty. They also offer great sweet potato fries, which are definitely worth trying. With its amazing atmosphere, excellent food, and top-notch service, this place is truly a must-try. read more
