    Single spicy burger
    Benetta P.

    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.

    Delicious and generous serving of fries

    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.

    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.

    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

    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

    Finally got to try this spot - my boyfriend has been raving about it and it did live up to all the hype! The double double burger spicy was sooo good. The spicy wasn't overwhelmingly spicy but just enough spice and the burgers came out fresh along side with the fries. One thing you can't beat is the price! Such a good price for a good amount of food

    Best burgers in Houston and by far the best value for food quality and volume in the area. The gyros are excellent too.

Everything was cooked well and the bun was perfect. Also got the Chili Cheese, but changed it to fries instead of tater tots. The seasoning on the fries were plenty, but went well with the side of cheese given. Parking is plenty here. Happy Hour all day at the bar!
