We had the chicken sandwiches and the fries with chocolate shakes, it was $50, way too expensive to return. The sandwiches were okay and the shakes were good, my husband liked the fries, but I will also say that the place was not very clean, ketchup all over counter and the floor and empty tables were dirty. read more

Fair to Midland at best They took an expensive 44 meat and burnt the meat right out of it. Definitely not worth the price read more

The fries were perfectly seasoned and crispy. I only wish I would have bought more but at $5, I withheld my desire. A mayo dipping sauce would have been perfect for the fries too. For it to be a restaurant brought ht to you by an award winning chef, it's underwhelming to put it mildly. I tried the wagu burger as well. It was just mid, nothing special about it, nothing to make it stand out.it's disappointing since it cost $10+ just for the burger that can't even compete with your local Whataburger. The staff was pleasant and I like the music. I feel like my review matches the energy of the food of this place. ‍ read more

I had the waygu beef burger, fries, drink. I didn't try the shake but maybe I should have? I really liked the fries, burger was fair. I love Chris Shepard, so will cont to support read more

Try the fuego burger it's delicious the flavors come together so well. The cheese, peppers, onions and avocado, it is so delicious!. The service here is amazing! They are in tune with their customers told them about an allergy and they hooked my friend with a gluten free burger. Impressed they did a lettuce wrap and it was not short the flavors! Mine was on a bun and both were so GOOD! The location is super clean, nice family environment, the staff is very friendly and the food is great! Go try the fuego burger soon! And while you're there try the shakes too! It's like the old fashioned shakes very good! read more

Underbelly Burger definitely lived up to the hype. I was a huge fan of the Cease and Desist Burger at Hay Merchant and this was a good substitute. Everything was perfect, from the quality meat, cooking, and house sauce. The fries were also really good - the ranch powder is awesome. However, it is pricy for what feels like a fast food restaurant. These prices would be more appropriate at a restaurant like Hay Merchant or other casual sit down restaurant. They only have a handful of tables, so if they're busy, you may be stuck eating at a picnic table outside. But I guess this is the Chris Shepherd "premium" these days. read more

The food is delicious and locally sourced. The staff is very friendly. There was an issue with my burger and they remedied it right away.

The location is a bit off to the side. But a nice place. The burger was very tasty, better than I expected. The hotdog, was grilled very well, and had a good taste as well. Fries were wedges, and seasoned good. Overall - was enjoyable. read more

Best burger in Houston! Definitely recommend! Cooked perfectly! Thanks - will be back!

Great little place. Kids loved the burgers and the fries are to die for. Stop in if you're at the farmers market.

Delicious burger, amazing kale salad. Go for waygu! Liz was so friendly and helpful, we'll be back!

The menu is short and simple to make your choice. I love the burger at "hey marchant" across waugh st and westheimer rd . I came with the curiosity of the purpose of the chef Chris. I ordered wagyu burger with a meat from the R-C Ranch. The burger looked small but after I finished it , I was full !! The taste is - oh my god - so good, simply fresh food, good bread in a combo with hot fries a drink". My advice: just go to try it !! Thank you chef Chris! Will come again for sure read more

Underbelly Burger - Underbelly mascot! - Burgers Near Me - Houston, Texas

There is not much to say about a burger except that it was good or bad. This burger the probably among the worst burgers I had, and my son could not eat his chicken burger either. Their potatoes are not cooked. It is awful. The only edible thing was the diet drink. The employees cannot deliver. I saw a group of people come in and leave after standing in front of the counter for 5 minutes and no one asked them the time of the day. Horrible business venture. Will never go back. read more

At first glance the burger appeared on the smaller size but I was wrong. I was stuffed to the point that I had to force the last bite. I did however leave a few fries behind which my dog was pleased with. I will say that I think The meat patty could have done with a bit less salt. But that's just me. Over all this is one messy flavorful burger and the fact that it's in my neighborhood is awesome too. read more

Ordered two different burgers - so disappointing - they were VERY bland, dry and expensive. Fries were good.

Delicious !!! Angus burger and fries were so good. I'm definitely going back. Fries were tasty and crispy . Burger was perfectly cooked and seasoned , bun soft and yummy. Casual atmosphere. Highly recommend. read more

I will start off with price. A meal for my family of 4 came out to $68. One of these a kids burger. The burger flavor was good however it was mostly all pink. Even the kids burger was medium rare. I had to cook it a bit longer at home as we normally eat burgers medium. These were all all the way pink. The service was good and the people were friendly inside. However, for the reasons above I will not come back. read more

This place is dangerously close to our house. Located at the Houston Farmers Market on Airline. It's simple and excellent. We had the burger (you can choose between fresh, locally sourced Angus or Wagyu beef), the fried chicken sandwich, sidewinder fries dusted with ranch seasoning, and a kale salad that reminded me of the shaved Brussels sprout salad from Ibiza (w golden raisins, parm and candied pecans). Beer and Ramona wine spritzers available as well as fountain drinks and milkshakes. A welcome addition to the hood! read more

See all

Burger was OK, but for $12 I expect much better. Worst of all, they do not serve iced tea. The have "sweet tea" only. What respectable Texan drinks pre-sweetened tea? This is the only restaurant in Houston where I have not found brewed tea. We will not be back. read more

I was so looking forward to trying these burgers and I was so disappointed when I tried one. I really expected these to be beautiful burgers as advertised and considering that it belongs to Chef Shepherd I had high expectations... I had the Wagyu Burger and it was not great... the lettuce was all soft and wilted and the two pickles were limp and tasteless ... like it all steamed in the wrapping paper and became one texture and the taste was not all that special... the cheese was like a cheese sauce not a slice probably due to being wrapped in the paper as well. I ate in the establishment seems like burgers should be served out of the wrapping in that case. There are much better burgers around the city... this is a miss.. The fries were good though!! read more

Visited the farmers market last week and ate lunch at Underbelly Burger. We got 2 burgers w/ fries, a hot dog, and 1 drinks. Burgers were OK but kind of small. Hot dog was really a sausage sliced lengthwise in a bun. Again it was OK. The fries were yummy. We were a bit disappointed. Our lunch bill came to over $50. We expected something better for that price. We are new to Houston and had heard that the owner was an amazing chef. He was on Top Chef Houston's second episode! But that renown, unfortunately, didn't translate to this burger place. We were astonished that the drinks were served in styrofoam cups. Seriously?! Come on Underbelly -- you can do better! I'm taking off a star for the styrofoam... That said, I encourage everyone to come to this farmer's market and support the vendors there! The produce is great and there is a lot of fun stuff in the market. read more

Burgers are expensive for what you get but are tasty! We were able to get single patty burgers and they took $2 off the price. Potatoes/fries are really good! read more

Okay let's start by saying it was a good burger but Hay Merchant absolutely spoiled me and created an experience not likely to be topped. I ordered the burger but I had to add mayo packages. The fries say ranch seasoned but the flavor wasn't noticeable or memorable. If I'm in the area I'll go but it's not something I'll travel for. read more

Located inside the Houston Farmers Market. The Wagyu Burger was priced at $14 and included two Patties, american cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and pickles. I added the strawberry shake which was delicious and made to order with real ice cream and actually strawberries. A lot of reviews talk about lack of seating, but there is covered seating available outside. Underbelly burger reminds me of a burger joint my grandparents would have dined in and I love the decor. Lastly, Underbelly Burger is always clean and well stocked every time we visit. We love coming here and continue to visit. read more

Underbelly Burger - Wagyu Burger - Burgers Near Me - Houston, Texas

This could be the worst veggie burger I've had in Houston. A meat guy just shouldn't try. It looked like and had the consistency of raw hamburger meat. When I picked it up and tried to eat it, it all oozed out of the bun in clumps, just like raw hamburger meat. Fortunately, it was tasteless, so I didn't feel bad about throwing it away. I did feel bad about throwing away $12.00 read more

The service and atmosphere was ok for a burger joint. As for the food I was disappointed after a 30 min drive. The burger was bland and all the ingredients blended into one mushy mess. The meat had a good fill and texture but no taste whatsoever. I was disappointed. read more

They got one of the best milkshakes I've had they're very addicting to drink, costumer service, the burgers were very good too they had a good amount of everything and very flavorful, and don't even get me started on the fries SO MUCH FLAVOR!!!!!!!Love this place so much. read more

Food was definitely overpriced and under seasoned. I was super excited about trying these burgers since I know they purchase they're burgers from their neighbor meat market. Btw r-c ranch meat market is AMAZING!! Purchase your burgers from there & grill them at home yourself.. save yourself from underbelly burgers! The staff was ok but the vibe & decor resembled a school cafeteria. The seating is for about 10 people max. They suggested to take food outside to the tables surrounding the courtyard. I will definitely not be back. This place is not worth your $ or time. Check out bun slut. Great burgers & milkshakes!! The vibe is also amazing since it's at the 1010 prairie st underground hall. I will even go as far as saying hit up whataburger for a better burger! read more

This burger spot is definitely worth trying, especially if you're already at the farmers market. It's also nice that more restaurants and retail options are opening up in this area in Independence Heights. Outside of that, the burgers, fries, and shakes are awesome! It is on the expensive side and is more than what you would pay at shake shack but you also have to consider that you are supporting a local business and a restaurant that is sourcing beef sustainably from local farmers. I feel okay personally paying a few extra dollars knowing that it's going to individuals that are trying to make the food industry a little bit less inhumane and harmful for the environment. I've tried both the burgers and I prefer the wagyu. The fries are crispy, thick, and seasoned with yummy ranch flavoring! I've also tried the chocolate and strawberry shakes. The strawberry was it my favorite. It was good but could do with more strawberry in my opinion. The chocolate was absolutely perfect and I will continue to get it when I stop in. The cherry on top is that the staff is extremely friendly and pleasant! read more

Unimaginative and forgettable burgers and fries. The only taste that came through both, was heavy saltiness. Ordering is super-awkward because the one menu is placed high above the register so customers are constantly looking up at the board for reference while speaking with the order taker - what a great view for her! read more

Disappointed. Expected more, got less. Certainly was not bad but the word underwhelming was our reaction also. If comparing to McDonalds, Wendys, or Burger King, it was a bit better but not much. read more

My expectations were high - because Chris Shepherd is such a legend. After dining there, I cannot believe he has any involvement in this at all. The restaurant was understaffed and chaotic. No ketchup. Fountain drink mix was totally off. No napkins. A diner spilled water and the mopping just moved the water all around. Someone could have been seriously hurt. The food was not great. The burger was ok and the fries were acceptable. It definitely was not worth a trip down to try it out. We will never return considering all the other great spots Houston has. read more
