    Fresh Cut Fries with chili and cheese
    Antonio B.

    This restaurant is very clean and they have plenty of inside seating. The menu was pretty simple and self-explanatory. The burgers come in single double or triple or you can get chicken and or a Philly cheesesteak. I ordered the double with one spicy patty, which includes jalapeños, garlic, mixed within the meat and one regular patty with all the fixings, and it was really good. Very tasty. I feel that the one spicy patty was just spicy enough. Had I ordered two spicy patties. It would've been too spicy for me. I also ordered the chili cheese fries and they were pretty tasty. I did like the cheese flavor more than the chili flavor that the chili wasn't thick or meaty for my liking. But still good. I would definitely recommend this joint..

    Single spicy burger

    My first to visit. The lady at the register was very nice. The staff kept the dining area extremely clean. The home style fries were freshly fried and piping hot. The spicy burger patty had good flavor. The menu recommended to order the double. I didn't but next time I will, in order to have a better meat patty to bun ratio. I ordered grilled onions. They were barely warm. No visible brown edges. I like mine really brown, so next time, I am order my burger with no onions. Their bun was buttery and grilled perfectly. However, 1 bun was dry. I don't like dry buns, so next time, I will order sauce on both buns. So, for a first visit. My lunch was good.

    I love Tornado burger and decided to get their Cheesesteak and it was the worse the roll and the meat were dry, there were no mushroom or onions in it, the fries were overdone and only the onion strings were great. It was the middle of day so I'm not sure what happened. Next time I will check the food before I leave the drive thru.

    Delicious and generous serving of fries
    Tommy P.

    This was a really solid burger--maybe my favorite in Houston so far. I highly recommend trying it out. It was my first time here and I tried the spicy burger with bacon. I got the meal with the fries and drink and will certainly be coming back for exactly that. Portion of fries that come with the meal are very generous. The place has a mellow atmosphere with plenty of seating. The soda fountain has lots of options. Food came out fast and service was friendly. Couldn't ask for more.

    I had not been to tornado burger in many years, although I have frequently passed by I went there today to get a spicy cheeseburger with tomato, onion, lettuce, pickles, and order fries and I tried their Margarita, which I think is more of a daiquiri. I got my order to go, so I was trying to fries on the way home and they were hot and fresh. I believe they prepare their own potatoes for fry while they weren't the crispy fries I've ever had. They did have that Home made look and feel with just the right amount of salt. My first bite of the cheeseburger took me back to the 1970s. There is a taste that reminds me of the way burgers tasted in the 70s when you went to a neighborhood burger stand placed your order. They then begin cooking. It was super fresh and yes, it wasn't available immediately because the meat had to cook. The lettuce is fresh and crisp so is the tomato so if you're in a hurry for your food, this is not the place to go! However, if you want a hot tasty made to order burger for you personally, you should check this place out. I got my order to go, I wanted to eat it at home. The service was good. It takes time when you're cooking every order after it's taken by the counter person. The inside of the restaurant can seat quite a few people in addition they have an outside seating area for those few days a year when it's actually nice enough to sit outside and eat. I recommend this restaurant. GN3

    Great cup.

    Burgers are really good. Cheesesteak are basuda. A real cheessteak is sirloin cooked at time of order on a grill then mix in what you want. Fresh and tasty. They precook a big pot of meat with seasoning added. Its scooped out into a bun. Cheese put on top then microwaved. Terrible. We threw mine away. Still enjoy their tasty burgers.

    Spicy burger (a must have), and fresh cut fries.
    Walter R.

    Yes, when you want a break from the usual "fast food", this is the place to go. The service is quick and friendly, the food is made to order, fresh, and tasty. The decor is old school diner (in a good way). It's simple, and no frills, but I love that they season everything. The meat, the fries, all have a distinct flavor, and it's all good. I am told that they make their own ranch dressing in house, but I did not try it, so I will have to add that to my order next visit.

    Chicken Philly Cheesesteak
    Charneice B.

    Passed this spot and decided to try it. It reminds of of a place back home. The food is amazing. Not gonna hold ya. The food is really good. I got a chicken Philly combo. The fries are somewhat Cajun and they are delicious. Like any fries, hurry and eat them as they go bad quick. The customer service can use some work, but, overall, I'll give it a 4 star rating. I only went through the drive thru and I got a picture of the menu being the menu they have on the Yelp app doesn't have a the full menu. If you're thinking about trying it, go for it, it's pretty good.

    Dbl patty spicy burger

    Their burgers are legit! Burger price is wallet friendly. Burgers are on the smaller side so get two (haha). Their fries were bit soft but it's fresh cut potatoes you you can tell, without too much salt or seasoning. Though I tend to prefer crispy fires, I really enjoyed them. Show strong onions were ok, you can actually taste onions but it was bit too greasy for me. I loved their burgers and definite will try again

    My fries were top notch, and my burger was good, but not outstanding. Not a bad place to get a burger.

    On a food truck adventure, a found Galleria Food truck park off of Richmond. 1st let me just say I…read morehave never had or even thought of having a salmon cheesesteak, but baby....when I say this sucker was good it was good!!!! The salmon was well seasoned and moist. I chose to add provolone cheese and lettuce and tomato. The 6in was a nice size with all the salmon that was in the sandwich I think I would have did well off with a 4in. But hey had some for the next day. The bread wasn't too soggy with all I had on it, I was still able to pick it up and eat it. They also have different types of egg rolls beef, chicken and salmon to order. Fries were also available to order on the side. The service was great it was made to go order. There was also different flavors of lemonade, I got the watermelon and raspberry, the flavor was good but I didn't really taste the watermelon, the raspberry one you actually tasted raspberries. The ambiance is a food truck parks, there were plenty of other food trucks to try and the parking was not bad.

    Obsessed with their salmon eggrolls & kiwi lemonade. Their wait times are ridiculous & the staff…read morecan be rude. I've had experiences where I've waited over 30 minutes for my egg rolls. When I first started coming here the staff was friendly & the service was quick. Now it feels like it may be under different management just based on the staff alone. I only come every once in a while because of it.
