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

The Burger Joint - Burgers Near Me - Houston, Texas

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

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

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

The Burger Joint - Chili Queso Dog - Burgers Near Me - Houston, Texas

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

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

The Burger Joint - Burgers Near Me - Houston, Texas

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

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 Burger Joint - Burgers Near Me - Houston, Texas

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

The Burger Joint - Burgers Near Me - Houston, Texas

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

The Burger Joint - Rodeo Burger - Burgers Near Me - Houston, Texas

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

Burger was just like made from my own grill. Juicy and medium cooked! Very good! Dont like they charges to add lettuce and tomatos But kids meal was big! Ordered regular fries with No salt and came With salt. ‍ Not much, but still don't pay attention to that detail. Regular fries are hand cut , love that...sweet potato fries are ok. Love all the TVs on the patio was a perfect place to sit today. Was out of Coke Zero. :( Manager came around and apologized for the soda and fries and offered to bring more. read more

Asking for Tips even before you receive your order? Bad form. The people are nice and interior is cool looking. I went there twice and both times order my burger medium well, both times cooked past well done and dry and tough. I didn't like the seasoning either. Ow well. Best burgers in Houston goes to Beck's Prime. Always cooked right and cooked over fire , not a griddle 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

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

The Burger Joint - Rodeo burger with an extra patty and the onion rings with joint sauce - Burgers Near Me - Houston, Texas

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

Welcome to the neighborhood! Was excited to get a great burger and shake but did not happened. The restaurant was pretty empty so we sat at the bar. 10 minutes later, not even a hello. Pretty disappointed. Going to stick to the Montrose location. 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

Ordered food to go. Two of the three orders were incorrect. I ordered a chili cheese burger and it came with queso but no chili. The second wrong order was we ordered a burger bowel and they did not include the meat. When we called about the issue the person that answers said they could not fix any order that left the location. Really long wait for food. The people taking the orders were nice and helpful. The people responsible to packaging or delivery the food were not very nice. We will not be coming back. The shakes looked really good. read more

Came by yesterday to check out the new spot around 5-6. The food was great! The only thing that stood out was the staff member taking our order, she seemed a bit short with us.
