TJ Reed's Flippers - Chocolate cake! Delicious! - Burgers Near Me - Dickinson, Texas

A surprising fact about the small'ish city (#1) of Dickinson is the fact there is no shortage of burger places. The most well known of the bunch has to be TJ Reed's Flippers (#2), which not only has the popular vote but is among the most highly regarded businesses in this part of the Bay area. It's also not hard to see why: the food is hearty, the service is excellent, ad the place has the vibe where there's a seat for everyone. It's a colorful spot, with a blend of convivial decor that immediately gives off family friendly vibes and is one of the most group friendly spots I've seen. It's also a low-key sports bar with TVs playing across the room, including several at the bar, which is perfect for solo dining. The ample seating makes this place an ideal group dining destination and no shortage of natural light throughout the day. Their burgers are the type where it's so stacked that a pick has to be inserted to keep it together. The patty is thicc enough to satiate most burger enthusiasts, but I'm all for a solid double patty. (#3) After pairing it with any of their potato options (french fries, tater tots, or sweet potato fries), consider topping it off with an indulgent milkshake for the ultimate comfort food meal. If I'm feeling extra generous, I'll throw in lots of extras including bacon, fried eggs, avocado, and some American cheese. Many folks are sleeping on the fact they offer an extensive selection of seafood with some Cajun flair, We're talking shrimp and grits, catfish with shrimp etouffee, boudin balls, gulf oysters, red fish, mahi mah, crab friggers, and even ceviche. Their seafood stuffed jalapeños and shrimp po'boy are both underrated. The engine that makes all of this run is the owner, Nisha. She's one of the sweetest owners I've come across and has lots of energy to keep her customers smiling for more. She's the reason why folks keep coming and why I'll continue to check this place out whenever I'm in the area. __________ (#1) Or really, just a Houston suburb in Galveston County. (#2) An older, colloquial term for "burgers" to describe the *flipping* of patties while cooking. (#3) Food coma has entered the chat.

The best burger in this side of town hands down! Service is always great, chill atmosphere and their shakes and desserts are to die for! Shout out to our awesome server Ella tonight! She was super sweet and took care of us! My favorite here is the Mexi Burger- blend of chuck and brisket meat, topped with fresh avocado, chile con queso, blistered jalapeños, craft beer braised onions, shredded lettuce, tomato, chipotle mayo and spicy pickles! Sooo good!! read more

The food was great. The service by Paul was awesome. The dessert was great. Try this as soon as you can.

I took photos of our food but it did not upload. Anyway we ordered their boudin balls for appetizer and man they were fresh hot and delicious! My wife had the poboy combo, baby had the kids tenders and myself, I ordered the macho burger. Left very satisfied we even recommended this place to my sister and her friend to try. They also enjoyed this place very much. Will definitely come back and try the rest of their dishes. Everyone was friendly and restaurant was very well put together. There was seating in the front and back patio area. Come show your support if you're in the area! read more

Upon entry we were welcomed with warm greetings! So customer service was A+. I live in the heights and the crawfish was well worth the drive. They include the potato and corn in pricing. And for my glove people, I have long nails and it didn't poke a hole or rip the glove. Only downside were the drink options. I wasn't feeling the margaritas and they didn't carry cider or seltzers. Make sure to save room for dessert though because we tired banana pudding and something with cinnamon. Both were a win!!! read more

Came to TJ Reed's on a Saturday afternoon for lunch with a group of friends. It is located in Dickinson which is just south of League City. I live in Pearland so getting here was easy via back roads. There is plenty of parking. Inside is very spacious with lots of tables and bar top seating if you want to have a drink and watch some sports. Customer service was great. The owner and her staff checked in on us frequently and she even brought us out a few desserts to share. TJ Reed's boasts the best burger in town so my sights were set on that. That is not the only thing they do though. Being so close to the coast, they also have a nice selection of seafood items and Cajun boils. They also have tacos, salads and chicken items as well. I can appreciate a restaurant that has a variety of different things. For my burger, I went with the Macho Burger. The burger was cooked to a perfect medium as requested and it was topped with a beer braised onion ring, cheese, jalapenos, avocado and a chipotle mayo. The burger was seasoned to perfection and the toppings all worked well together. The soft, toasted brioche bun was also very good. I paired it with some tots which were delicious as well. As mentioned before, the owner was happy to see our large group and brought out a specially made ice cream dessert which was fantastic. Overall, a great meal was had. I could see myself coming back here if in the area. read more

I have been wanting to visit forever and last week we finally stopped in to order a "tale out" order but instead we were greeted and treated like family. The staff was so welcoming. As a mom we are constantly the ones serving and taking care of everyone. On this evening I got to experience that feeling as I waited for my to go order I was taken care of but I lovely woman who anticipated our every desire. The corn brad muffins were sent from heaven and the loaded fries were from another universe! My husband's po boy was huge and delicious, the burgers were superb and the nachos were top tier. Dont get me started on the strawberry cake! What a treat for the locals, and if you're not a local, definitely worth the drive. Thank you! We will be back! read more

My husband picked TJ Reed's for dinner. We were greeted upon arrival and seated as well. Right away I noticed how friendly the staff was. Our waitress was great, and I ordered a pina coloda right away. When I tell you it was one of the best I have had, I am not joking. Pina's are one of my favorites, and it did not disappoint!! I am a sucker for seafood boils, and mean this one! It was SO good and the portion size was immacualte. The seasoning was on point. The shrimp were large and everything about it wad delcious. The manager even gave us a dessert on the house. A waiter brought it to the table and it was the whiskey cake. Do not sleep on that cake! I cannot explain how warm, gooey, and amazing that slice of cake was. We left very pleased, and I could not get over how great everyone was that worked there. read more

Customer service was EXCELLENT! They have indoor and outdoor seating. The food is average. I heard the crawfish is the best thing! We had a variety of dishes. I would recommend beer or wine the drinks are on the sweeter side. I don't like they rotate their desserts. My family drove from the Katy area and they didn't have the cheesecake or banana pudding. Definitely will be back for crawfish! read more

The service was amazing. This was our first time here and definitely not our last! Niesha was by far the best! She was very attentive and she was so sweet and so friendly. We will definitely come back and visit Niesha again. read more

TJ Reed's is a busy place! We had a big group so it took a while to get a table, which is completely reasonable and expected. This is a big place and there's a lot going on. The menu has tons of options. Service was OK. Maybe it was because we had a big group, but service was distracted. For a place that seems like it should be so much fun, our wait service didn't live up to my expectation of fun. We ordered several appetizers. I only took pictures of the Boudin Balls. I split one and it was tasty, but not extraordinary. I ordered a Cheeseburger with bacon added and an extra side of onion rings. Yes, everything (bacon and onion rings) was available with an extra charge. Some boozy shakes were ordered and enjoyed. I didn't have one, but they did indeed look good. The experience, overall, was okay. read more

Its been a few years since I have eaten here. The fried shrimp was in cornbread. It was a bit clumpy and lacked salt. I never got my cole slaw. The lady servicing us said I am sorry but did not offer to provide a to go cole slaw. She gave basic service but did not find her friendly. I found the information about the sides confusing. The Mahi mahi was ok. The sauce was tasty. I can say I was not overly impressed. I found the meal lacking. I doubt I will return. read more

Great spot with bomb food! Solid location- indoor seating very comfort vibes. Also got to meet the owner here which was such a treat! I got the mexi burger and was blown away at how great the burger and fries was. My family loves their fried fish which is amazing! But don't sleep on their desserts!!!!!! I got a bread budding from here once and it was heaven!!!! read more

We just had one of the best lunches I have had in a long time. Our server, Dillon, was so attentive and so helpful in suggesting what we should get. The restaurant was so nice inside and had really cute, colorful decor which my niece loved! It was our first time here and we got the catfish (fried) with shrimp etoufee, the po boy combo with gumbo and one of their burgers. Dillon was even nice enough to bring us a banana pudding on the house since it was our first time! We will 1000% be coming back. All of our food was delicious and everyone working was so nice. read more

If you are not a TJ Reeds fan yet , please give it another shot . Service is always great . The owner is there everyday making sure her staff is on top of their game . The staff appears to be much younger than some of the other places . Owner is teaching the staff that the customer does matter ! Burgers are always good. They grind their own burger . No store bought patties . Love the fish tacos . They seem to always be giving us something like muffin or chips and salsa . Without asking , tonight they were passing out her home made deserts . This is locally owned and operated often hard to find these day . Always greeted with a smile , always thanked for coming when we leave . read more

my wife and I took her parents to this fantastic, honest to goodness real Cajun cooking for a hamburger. Turns out I got the blackened chicken with crawfish etoufe gravy and dirty rice. OMG. Wow. The server turned out to be the owner / chef. She served some fresh made buttery con bread and topped it all of with some sweet potato bread pudding. TDF. Slap my momma and bring me back to feed on the best food this side of the state line. I will definitely be going back. Wonderful service, wonderful atmosphere- wonderful food.

Going Downhill ! Ordered their $12.99 hamburger. Dry, old, flaky bun ruined a good hamburger. Requested 'well done' but received medium pink. Fries great. Seasoned and crispy but minimal amount. Charged $2.99 extra for coleslaw when menu stated hamburger includes 'FRIES OR TOTS. COLE SLAW OR RICE.' Should have stated includes one of following: fries, tots, coleslaw or rice'. Not going back. read more

Great Atmosphere and great customer service and the Bread Pudding is delicious and it's just as good as My Mama's

Can I just say AMAZING food and service?!?! I had the Alaskan Salmon, dirty rice, sausage, hushpuppies, banana pudding, and margaritas! While waiting on my order, the manager brought me a sample of red beans and rice with cornbread and LORD HAVE MERCY!!! EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS! I found a fav! I'll see you all again soon! read more

I had seen this restaurant on one of the Texas roadshow/food review/travel shows and decided to give it a shot. We made a trip here because the owner seemed so genuine and fun in the interview, the food looked amazing, the wide variety of foods ensured everyone was able to find something they liked - and it did not disappoint one bit! We were immediately greeted by the owner and a very friendly staff, seated quickly, and everything only got better from there. We ordered a wide variety of foods as we were with friends - seafood, kids meals, and a couple of their famous burgers - and all were amazingly delicious. The restaurant was very clean, kid friendly, casual, and atmosphere was well done. We had an incredible time here and cannot recommend this place enough. We've lived in the area but never made it out to TJ Reed's - but we are very glad we did and it definitely will not be the last time! read more

July 13, 2021 It's been a few years since I've been here. Drove in from Galveston for hair appointment at Genesis in the same shopping center and after...we came here for an early dinner We had frozen watermelon margaritas...it's not fresh watermelon (it's a syrup) but still tasty. We split the loaded tots: came w/melted cheese (queso) jalapeños, bacon and ranch---YUM. the cheese tasted wonderful which made it all delicious $7 regular size the Macho burger -no bun- (per my request) it came with beer braised onions, fresh avocado, jalapeño, queso and chipotle mayo--the beef was seasoned perfectly and cooked medium like I requested...it was soo good. Really good. Again, that cheese boi...yum! Very nice wait staff. Always cleaning. Checking on customers. Still haven't managed to see/meet the owner, maybe one day. read more

Big burgers are so juicy! Try the boudain balls and also the pork chops! Very tasty The adult drinks hit the spot. Ya must go by there and get great hospitality from the owner manager and staff. Very friendly crew and attentive too! read more

Stopped by after a morning of fishing in Galveston. Surprisingly solid food in a small shopping plaza. Interior is clean and has a sports bar vibe. Apps Seafood bisque- 4/5, lots of lump crab meat in there. Would've like it a little thicker Shrimp ceviche- 3.5/5, a little light on the shrimp, mostly tomatoes and avocado. Good flavor, slightly on the sweet side. Main Seafood combo with catfish and shrimp, with sweet potatoes fries and slaw- 4/5. Fries were well cooked, slaw was a little runny but had good flavor. Seafood was fried well. Would recommend for sure. read more

Absolutely amazing. I don't think my family or I have had better in a long time. To start? Fried pickles for an appetizer-- those were those the perfect amount tangy and salty. The tater tots? Crunchy on the outside, and fluffy goodness on the inside, and eating them like was like... nothing else I'd ever had could even claim to be a tater tot. For dinner, I'd had the crawfish poboy, my brother the catfish poboy, my mother and aunt both went with a plate of alaskan salmon, while my dad got the half pound of shrimp. I can say unequivocally that we all very much enjoyed our meals. That crawfish poboy is great with the FRIED crawfish in my opinion, and the flavor profile is downright scrumptious; plus, it's a pretty damn big sandwich, so you won't be going hungry for sure. Next came the service. Our waiter, for the life of me, I can't remember his name, started with a T, I'm pretty sure; the red-haired and bearded gentleman, I'm sure he'd remember us because we were a family of redheads as well. The man was outstanding in his friendliness, his care, his charm and wit. He made sure we had everything we needed in a prompt manner, and even after the kitchen was closed and we were getting ready to leave, he secured me a little cup of queso so that when I ate my leftovers the next day, I could pour said queso on my fries (which, by the way, their fries were amazing). The atmosphere was also welcoming and friendly, with the funny paintings on the walls, music and lighting all helping to liven the place up. If you're looking for a great dinner experience after a long day of fun in the sun, I cannot recommend TJ Reeds/Flippers enough. read more

TJ Reed's Flippers - I ate half of this fried crawfish poboy, this was what was left. I had to take it to go, it was too good to let it go to waste. - Burgers Near Me - Dickinson, Texas

Overall, the food was good, the service was amazing and the desert was phenomenal. This was a great date night for my husband and myself. We arrived around 7pm on a Friday and the line was to the door. We were greeted by a polite employee who informed us that it would be a 25 minute wait, unless we wanted to sit outside, then we could sit immediately. So, we ate outside. The food was great. My cheeseburger was amazing. My husbands was okay... they forgot the onions but he didn't complain and still ate every bite. The fries were also delicious. The custard stole the show. Seriously amazing custard!! Our waiter was very polite and friendly. He seemed a little nervous and let us know that he was new and still learning the menu. He tried really hard to give us a pleasant experience and we appreciated his efforts! He checked on us and gave us updates, as the food was taking a while to prepare since it was a busy Friday night. We ordered a milkshake and the machine was having issues and our waiter asked if we were okay with waiting. We were. Then the milkshake wasn't correct. It was supposed to have a shot of bourbon and it didn't. Usually we wouldn't say anything but it was a $6 shot so we told him and he immediately told the owner who stopped what she was doing and made the milkshake. Oh. My. Goodness. The correct peanut butter chocolate bourbon milkshake was insane. read more

TJ Rees's is a good burger and seafood stop. I liked the idea you could get either burgers or seafood or both! We had been searching for a quick bite to eat and settled on a good burger joint nearby. It was my first visit; my friend had been here before. We asked to be seated outdoors and ordered two cheese burgers and fries. We had our choice of cheese and asked if they had blue cheese as an option which they did. The outdoor area was pleasant with picnic tables, sone with umbrellas. Cajun music was playing indoors and out. My friend is from Louisiana so she was happy with the tunes being played. Our meal came out in good time. The fries were extra crispy...maybe double fried with a little spice. The burger was good.. just enough blue cheese and a special sauce. I asked for the trimmings of lettuce, tomato and pickles on the side. Everything was fresh including the bun. The service was good.. staff were all wearing masks. Parking is free and easy in the lot and the prices were very good. It seems to be a great local spot fairly reasonable in price with a good variety if food. read more
