Not sure how this place rated so high because the burger patty was thin and dry. Nothing special about the flavor. We enjoyed the cheesesteak a bit more but even that we wouldn't rate very high (2/5). The fries were cold and soggy. All of us felt a bit unwell later in the evening and next morning. read more

This place slaps. It's a hole-in-the-wall, down & dirty burger joint. If that's not your kinda place, move along. But if you want some delicious burgers and fries go on in! read more

This place is amazing, not only are the burgers great but there's also a variety of foods that you can choose from. I will definitely be coming here again read more

Food and services are good. Not expensive and for me and my family it's always drive through. Enjoyed

Value... this place is a place for the people. I love local places like this, you can tell its run by a good owner who is churning out good food at great prices. The add on toppings for your burger, sandwich, fries etc. were dirt cheap. Where else can you add a nice portion of bacon to your burger for just $1? My girlfriend ordered a $3 side of onion strings and low and behold those bad boys came over flowing out of a cup dang near the size of a Big Gulp. We had to add a little salt and pepper to them, but besides that they came out piping hot and delicious. The philly cheese steak was good too but the burger was my favorite. I'm very impressed with this place, I just wish they weren't located so far south of the Houston metro! read more

Pulled in to tornado burger for lunch and let me tell you this place is delicious. I had the Spivey double burger and fries and it did not disappoint. Burger and fries were fresh and the fries were seasoned. Would recommend this spot if you're in the mood for a burger. They also have cheese steak but I'll try that at a later time. read more

Just a little update decided to try something new. Chicken Pita with extra feta. Just like the burgers they did not disappoint! The sandwich was huge and full of chicken. Of course I had the homemade cute fries with the homemade range, it was delicious. Service was fast. Made it back to work with time to still eat. This sandwich is definitely something you need to eat at a table. read more

This is one of the best places to eat in the Houston area. Even though they're famous for delicious burgers, the Gyros and Philly sandwiches shouldn't be overlooked. Order the fresh French fries extra crispy, you won't be disappointed. This Stafford area restaurant never disappoints and the staff is always willing to please. read more

The spicy burger was good bun was toasted. The Philly cheesesteak was a hit. The fries were fresh. Food was good will be back. Service is ok. Quick wipe of the tables and we ate inside of the building. read more

Tornado Burger - Jalapeñoa on their way to burger heaven - Burgers Near Me - Stafford, Texas

Service was terrible; got my to go order wrong. After paying I looked at my receipt and noticed that I was charged for pickles instead of bacon for my cheeseburger. Went back to the counter and paid extra to have it corrected. I got home and realized the order was missing French fries which I had paid for. Called the restaurant to complain and they couldn't identify my order from the order number on my receipt. After this frustration, I drove back to the restaurant and presented my receipt and they finally gave me my fries. I asked for some kind of compensation for the 30 mile drive to account for their error. Nothing was done, not even extra fries! The excuse was that the manager was not available. Very bad business practice. They have lost this customer over an error that could have been easily resolved by being sensitive to their customer and acknowledging their error.. Pennywise pound foolish! read more

They are Fast, fresh, and tasty! I would've did 5 stars but they were out of ice when I went. read more

I've heard great things about Tornado Burger so I finally decided to stop by. Came on a Friday night and went through the drive-thru. It was fairly crowded but I wasn't waiting too long for my food. Everything here is made fresh to order so I knew it wouldn't be cold, plus I didn't mind the wait. I ordered the Chicken Philly with double meat and double cheese. I tried to order it half spicy, half regular but I was told it had to be one or the other so I went with spicy. I also ordered a daiquiri half strawberry, half piña colada. The Chicken Philly was absolutely amazing. I'm glad I ordered the spicy but really wish I was able to do half and half because after getting double meat, the spice was a lot to handle. I'm not sure how much meat comes on a single serving but the double meat was a lot of food. The sandwich was huge! The chicken was tender and the bread was soft. The daiquiri was good also, not too liquid-y, not too strong, but could've probably been a bit stronger. I'll be back to try some of the other items on the menu! read more

This is what makes Tornado Burger not just good, but great! I've been here many times and the spicy burgers are fantastic, in another league above Whataburger. I just got a philly cheesesteak sandwich (Texas style, with jalapenos and mushrooms) in the drive through, and it was just fantastic. This isn't fine dining, friends. This is just plain old good eatin'. They might cost a couple dollars more than McD's but what you get is way better and more of it. You might have to wait a few minutes for your food to arrive. Trust me, it's worth the wait. read more

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

Burger was flavorful without being too salty and all toppings were fresh! Fries are crispy and well seasoned. Both were a generous serving. One thing I also liked is that because the quality is so good I didn't feel sluggish right after eating it. Probably one of the best burgers I've had and I think it is able to compete against some other burger places such as burger joint or shake shack. Prices are pretty cheap. My boyfriend and I ordered two #1 combos (double patty cheeseburger with fries and drink) and the total came out to about $22. Highly recommend, defintely a stafford staple. read more

Stopped by while in the area. Lined was pretty long for the drive through but moved quickly. Good menu with a decent variety of burgers, chicken and phillies. The loaded fries were a hit with the kids and I loved the onion strings. Triple burger was cooked perfect. I wouldn't say the spicy burger or chicken is all that spicy but still good. Food is cooked fresh but the wait is minimal. If you're in the area I would definitely recommend making the stop. read more

Food is always good here. Spicy fries are a must. Service inside at the counter was good. Dude was very nice. Inside is awesome! A very cool license plate vibe. Definitely coming back with the family. read more

These burger are a great classic for juicy, greasy, "I want to indulge" type of burger. I love to pair it after a tough workout or on days I need some extra calories. I will say, I feel like the quality went down a bit after the pandemic but it's still a great tasting burger. Not sure I would still pay the same price given quality has gone down-- but make sure to add the fries read more

Ive heard of tornado taco (also owned by the same person) and have always wanted to try this place. Its a farely old looking building. You go up to the counter to order. They have everything from chicken phillys , gyros, burger and original philly cheesesteak sanwiches. You can order any sandwich spicy or regular. I ordered the chicken club sandwich (spicy). My cousins ordered the #2s spicy and oroginal combos. You can add bacon or cheese. #2 combo is about $8! The fries were pretty tasty. They were the thick soft kind. Not my favorite but were good. 4 star on price and taste of the sanwiches. Not the best but is pretty good for the price. Better than fast food thats for sure! read more

That was a fantastic steadiness spicy burger!!! I've been wanting to go for a year and it was so good, I got back in the drive thru and ordered another one. Perfect seasoning on the juicy patty. 5/5 Double meat double cheese spicy burger Perfect, simple, juicy, flavorful 3/5 Philly cheese steak spicy The bread reeked of butter that may be burned or something. the smell was really unappetizing. I couldn't eat the bread so I took the meat out and ate it with bread from home. The insides were good but they need to use some different rolls. Or toast them. Was really looking forward to this one after reading up 5/5 Love the building, decor, signage, this place screams awesome mom n pop that knows it's awesome and has a following. Very unique personal touches I'll definitely go back for a burger. That hit the spot. read more

Pros: prices are fantastic. You can get a cheeseburger, fries and a drink for $5.95. Fries are homemade, very tasty, and a generous portion. Drinks are self serve with free refills. The single burger had a delicious home grilled taste. Cons: the Philly cheesesteak was bland - couldn't even taste the onions. The meat to vegetables ratio was off on the burgers. Too much veg, too little meat. Also, there was only a small dot of the 1000 Island sauce on the burgers. All in all we liked it and will come back, but will stick with the burgers/fries combo. read more

Oh gosh! Who would have known some home in the wall place could be this good. The building can use a update but don't let it discourage you from eating here. When we arrived the line was almost out the door. Good sign the food is good. My husband ordered their double spicy cheeseburger with homemade fries and I ordered the chicken basket 4 strips with fries as well. The chicken strips were lightly battered and very tasty. It was real chicken! Not some frozen chicken strips. The fries were delicious and everything tasted freshly made. Way too much food for me, next time I will order a child's basket! Oh and service by the gentleman working the cashier stand, was excellent! He kept a smile on his fave the hole time and offered some suggestions for us first timers! read more

Takes longer to get food. Drive through people are rude. I love the burgers don't like fries anymore. read more

Something's different! This Philly cheesesteak is not what it used to be! Tastes like they changed the steak that they use...definitely a cheaper cut. It's really hard to bite the sandwich without pulling out all the meat because it's so fatty and tough. This is not the same sandwich that I had a few months ago. I understand that prices have gone up on food but some things you can't sacrifice and quality is one. This was my go to spot for a Philly but not anymore. The service is decent just keep in mind if you go during the lunch rush once you place your order in drive thru you park and wait for your order to be brought out...not a long wait. read more

The ambiance is good. The food and service is phenomenal! Would definitely come back.

Happy Belated Father's Day to all the papas, daddys, zaddys, and DILFs!⁣ My dad appreciates new and exciting foods, but his favorite thing will always be a good ol' buger (cooked well done ‍)⁣ If you're from the Houston area, you know there's nothing like these burgers. The perfect morsel of beef embedded with garlic, onion, jalapeño, and other spices, always grilled to order. Even the buns are perfect! Slathered with butter, you'll be licking your fingers long after you've finished your patty. It's no wonder these are rated the Best Cheeseburgers in Texas by Houston Press. ⁣ read more

Wow. I was worried when we pulled in. It has a real dive-ish appearance and ambiance. But daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn if those weren't killer burgers and rings. Nice job. I'll fo sho be going back. read more

If you're like me and want to work on your "spice training" (aka increase tolerance for spicy foods), then get any of the spicy versions of the cheeseburger or cheesesteak! The taste is on point. Not too salty not too peppery not too spicy either. BUT the spicy is where its at! I had the cheeseburger 5/5 i feel like I am eating at someone's backyard cookout but a chef's cookout!!! The meat is juicy and the Jalapeño spice is melted in the meat juice. Ypu have to come here for this! Skip the fries so you can eat your whole burger! WORTHHHHH IIIIIITTTT! I also had the spicy beef cheesesteak 3.75/5. I had it with grilled onions and provolone. The provolone was added on top of the meat and rolled in foil. When i opened it up, half the cheese was on the foil. Maybe better if the cheese was under the meat? Overall, taste was good for me. It was huge too! Skip the fries and onion strings...save room for the meats! read more

Tornado Burger - Beef cheesesteak with onion strings. Ranch (not pictured) is guuuuuuuuuud! - Burgers Near Me - Stafford, Texas

Theres almost no better veggie burger in my opinion. If you are tired of the same ole "beyond burger" at sky high prices, this place makes one from scratch, piles it with sautéed mushrooms and onions, lettuce and mayo and/ or ketchup. Is it a softer patty, yes, but you can taste the ingredients and for $3.70 it will fill you up. They do one size fries for $2 and its a ton of well seasoned goodness. For just over $6 I got a very hearty meal and I bet no one can beat that in these expensive pick up times. Plus you are supporting local business and I always prefer that. Its a fair price quick food and tasty. What more could you want? I always drive through so no idea on the inside but this isnt a fancy place, maybe all the more reason i like it! read more

OMG! I was surprised by the flavor of this place, I just happened to pick this place due to the reviews when I got there I wasn't expecting much but this place is definitely good! Love the burger and for the price, you can't beat it, my only comment would be the fries, just my preference they aren't exactly like I like them not salty enough for me but otherwise happy to visit again COV19 note Nov. 2020: Currently dine-in is close so I just drive through, you place your order, pay, and then you are asked to wait in your car in one of the designated spots, waiting time for us was around 10min. read more

Food : size are small than before. But test still good . Service : are okey . But one of the man I think he try to clean or fix the mops .. he make a lot of noise loud and annoying , sounds like I am eating at the auto repair shop . Equipment : all the table just like the name of tornado ... it definitely tornado table , most of all the table bases are Misalignment or uneven, and can turn just like the tornado. and old . Next time, maybe just order to go . read more

I've been wanting to try this place FOR SO LONG!!! I mean years have gone by and today was the day. I ordered their No.1 the double burger spicy fully dressed with fries and sweet tea. Unfortunately I ordered in the drive through so my wait was long and it's TEXAS so it was 97+ degrees. Didn't interact with anyone If you are from Louisiana or are familiar with Louisiana Hot Sausage this is what the spicy patty smells like. Not a fan of the sweet tea but the spicy burger is highly recommended read more

Woah! The spicy double cheese burger was sooooo good. This place definitely just entered my top 10 best burgers I ever ate. We ordered 2 spicy double meat cheeseburgers and 1 spicy Philly cheesesteak. The spicy cheeseburger was amazing. I don't know what they mixed in with the beef, but the spicy kick definitely enhanced the burger. The meat was slightly dry but the overall quality of burger was great. The buns were nicely toasted and buttered, and the veggies were fresh and crispy. As for the Philly cheesesteak, It tasted like any other Philly cheesesteak. There just wasn't anything special about it. Don't get me wrong, it was still good. They did skimp out on the cheese in the Philly though. Overall, I highly recommend getting the spicy double meat cheeseburger. It only cost $5 for the burger alone and $8 for the burger with fries and drink. I will be back soon for another one. read more

Absolutely the best burger around. Pretty good gyro and cheesesteak also. Anytime we treat out of town guests to these burgers they remember and ask for next visit. And so many topping varieties for the fresh cut fries. Can't get enough of the garlic parmesan to try the other toppings. The double burger is the way to go cause patties are on the thinner side. Get the one regular patty and a spicy patty is just the right heat for us : ) read more
