Great position sizes and the price is unmatched. 10/10 do recommend to everyone to visit and eat here. It's a local spot and they do burgers the best read more

Great prices and decent food.. onion rings were hand battered monsters but very greasy.. and catfish filets were great..

Great place for homestyle burgers! Been going here for years now. Bacon cheeseburgers are awesome! They use thick cut bacon and plenty of it. Not just two thin strips like other places. The last time I went was yesterday. They just raised their prices a bit from what they were since before the pandemic. This is understandable since everywhere is doing so. But they did not reduce their potion size or quality of their food. Still worth it! read more

BBV is always great! A family favorite. The chili is the best around! Onion rings in tempura batter is a lil greasy but always good.

Most Amazing burgers I have had at the Northside. Customer service is great. Will come again.

Pretty great little spot. Learned they were from Greece and visit every year. Love a wholesome story. The burgers are always good and bigger than you'd think. Not too bad but the fries could use some work. Overall a great little place. read more

Food was delicious only issue was the wait rome was like 30 min even though I called my order in 30 min prior

Fries are bomb, really good . But the burger was not a 10/10 . It has lost its flavor over the years. I would not be going out my way to come here . read more

Short review: The word I can use to describe this burger joint is 'adequate'. You will find no bells and whistles here, no gimmicks, no extra effort. Big Burger V aims to meet expectations, not to exceed them, and that's exactly what it does. It's not bad food, and it's not great food, it's just... adequate. Long review: for the many of you that have watched ABC's 'Parks and Recreation', there was an episode where Ron Swanson and Chris Traeger have a burger cook off to decide who's burger is better. Chris creates and extremely well thought out gourmet burger complete with Papaya Chutney, Truffle Aioli, and Microgreens, while Ron makes "a hamburger. Made out of meat. On a bun. With nothing. Add Ketchup if you want, I couldn't care less." Big Burger V's food is the PERFECT representation of Ron's burger. There are no bells. No whistles. No frills. No showmanship of any kind. They don't use any fancy ingredients, no new fangled cooking methods. When you order a bacon cheeseburger, you will get a burger with bacon, cheese, iceberg lettuce, tomato, onions, mayo, and onion. That's it. Romaine lettuce? Nah, too fancy. Iceberg all the way, baby. I'm by no means saying the food is bad, because it is not. It is perfectly pleasant to eat. But you won't be wowed by anything either. It really depends on what type of food you like. If you consider yourself a foodie, and enjoy the gourmet side of things with ingredients you can't pronounce, this probably won't cut it for you. On the other hand, if you find yourself identifying more with Ron Swanson, Big Burger V is exactly your type of burger joint. read more

I got the bacon cheeseburger with jalapeños. It was so good. This place has a big variety of food and its so cheap. Apparently they have been around since the 70s. Would highly recommend read more

This is an A-OK non-chain burger. It's in a location without a lot of other options. It's always good. For me, I didn't think the shakes were special. Service is slow - so expect that - things are made to order. I've found fries and onion rings to be inconsistent from day to day. read more

I've been coming to this place for years now and their burgers are ok. Nothing too special but I do enjoy eating the chicken strip dinner along with the salad. Service is a bit slow but it's expected. The owners are lovely! read more

Love this place. Best place to get a burger and fries on the north side of Houston. This little burger shack is located on the west side of the Hardy Toll Road, just south of Little York Rd. Don't let the appearance of this place fool you, they serve some mean burgers. The onion rings are also really good. I've heard the Gyro sandwich is good but we prefer either the cheese burger or chili- cheese burgers. The crinkly fries are also so crisp and so very good. read more

This place reminds me of Lia's Drive-In on Homestead, when Lia's was run by the family who opened the restaurant. Turns out, some nice Greek people own/run Big Burger V. So far, all we have had are double-meat cheeseburger baskets and the Gyro dinner baskets. We order our gyro dinners with extra meat and an extra pita bread. They give you PLENTY of tzatziki sauce (creamy cucumber/yogurt sauce) without you having to ask for extra. It's a good value paying a bit more for the extra meat. You can definitely snack on the meat and still make two generous sandwiches out of what is left. The onion and tomato that they serve on the side is also plenty enough for two sandwiches. The dinner basket comes with the entrée, a big helping of fries and then salad. I ask for my salad dressing on the side, otherwise, they do serve it dressed. When my son and I order from there, we aren't counting our nickels and dimes. We order what we want, aren't afraid of paying for extras--because we don't eat out often. But let me tell you, the amount of food you get is well worth the cost. Also, I call in my order before making the drive to pick it up. I usually only have to wait 5 or so minutes for my food to be ready. We've tried ordering there at the restaurant and waited for it. It wasn't an outrageous wait time since everything is being prepared to order. And there are *ALWAYS* a parking lot full of cars--which is a good sign that the food is great. I would like to explore their menu more, but when you have a favorite, and you know it is always on point, it's hard to stray from the usual. read more

My wife and I have eaten here for over 20 years We have eaten our way thru the entire menu, and let me tell you that everything that they have is awesome! My favorite is the Gyro sandwich! Yum! read more

Big Burger V - My fav burger joint. They get all my business. Try the Gyro! - Burgers Near Me - Houston, Texas

10/10 do recommend. The fries came unseasoned but they give you salt and ketchup packets. They were the crinkle cut and cooked to perfection. Soft,but not mushy. The burger was amazing. I had a bacon cheeseburger w/Jalapenos. All for $9.31. I'm happy and wished I lived in the area to go more often. Check them out read more

This place has the best gyros around. I drive here from southwest Houston to have the gyros. They have always been good, and always have a good amount of meat. Better than Halal guys. I would always recommend this place and I always bring people when I can. read more

I have been to this burger place a few times and each time it seems like it keeps getting better and better; food wise... I have been trying something new each time but today, I have to admit; the Grilled Chicken Sandwich was absolutely delicious. Juicy, tender and almost the perfect moisture. Definitely recommend it to all. read more

Big Burger V - Burgers Near Me - Houston, Texas

Since we were there the first time my husband and I have become so addicted to the chicken dinner (bone in) I mean it's bad, we have family that lives close by and any chance we get we visit them and get there fried chicken after we leave... I hate that they're closed on Sundays, lol... I need help I know... I wish I knew there recipe it's that good, it has a sweet kinda taste to the meat and such a crunchy crust.... OMG I want some right now... Just try it, trust me it's the best fried chicken I've ever had. read more

I recently moved near here but my boyfriend grew up here and grew up with these burgers. I can see why the FIRST thing he wanted to do after moving back was grab some grub from Big Burger V !! It's a lot of food for the price. Absolutely delicious. Basket burgers come with double patties and a mountain of fries! My daughter loves the grilled cheese sandwich. They have shrimp, fish, chicken. .. there's something for everyone. Definitely hit this place up if you're nearby! read more

Good food, burgers are big, shrimp basket is the bomb, been going here since I was little

The reviews brought me here. The burger was ok, the highlight for me was the vanilla shake. Worth the four star for being a long time staple in the neighborhood read more

It was okay, but to call this a great burger is a stretch. Went during lunch in the middle of the week, nobody else was there and the wait for the food was long. If you looking for a quick lunch then it's fine. If you looking for a great burger, look elsewhere. If I eat here again it'll be for convenience, not because I searched them out again. read more

Great homemade burgers and fries plus I love the ice cream from their since my childhood

Great burgers, my favorite is the jalapeño bacon cheeseburger basket...yummy.I love going here, they never fail.

Mom and Pop run and family oriented. This joint has the BEST ice cream Sundays ever and the Shrimp plate is to die for. It can get busy at times, so I always call my order in over the phone that way it will be ready when I arrive. This is Not a fast food joint so do not expect your order to be precooked and served with in a few minutes like McDonald's; there a small waiting period while they cook and prepare and well worth the wait! read more

Great tasting burgers, fries, shakes!!! I love it all!! They know us by our name now that we come so often!!! Thanks for all your services! I will be your customer forever read more

The hamburgers are marvelous the fries are good it's right off the Hardy toll Road so it's a fairly convenient location

Just a straight up good ol' hamburger. Single patty is plenty for a lady that's looking to stay trim and slim. I had it with jalapenos, no cheese. A bargain too. 2 burgers (one with cheese), fries (one basket is plenty for 2), and 2 small cokes for $10. FANTASTIC. And for the price it doens't make you feel gross like fast food places. read more

I wouldn't go out of my way to come here again. Saw the reviews on Yelp that looked great. Ordered a cheeseburger, strawberry shake and onion rings. All 3 were hyped by reviews. Burger was ok but certainly nothing special. Shake was good. They used strawberry syrup so there was no strawberries harmed in making this product. Would have preferred to have some chunks of strawberry. Onion rings were pretty bad. Oil tasted old and the rings were super greasy. Maybe it was a bad day. I would try them again but wouldn't seek them out read more

This place is probably in the oddest place in Houston but it's definitely worth the drive! Everything is homemade and tastes like an authentic drive-in. It's worth to sit and eat because the food is simply delicious. Onion rings are old-fashioned and incredible. Love the bacon cheeseburger with jalapeños. Recommend this place! read more

What a disappointment after reading current reviews. If I had to choose this or fast food, I would choose the latter. Ketchup-- what kind of burger place gives you 3 tiny ketchup packets and tells you that is enough for a bacon double cheeseburger and onion rings? When I requested more, I was told I already had 3 whole packets and would need to pay if I wanted more. You have got to be kidding me . . . Sure, I eat more ketchup than your average burger enthusiast, but come on--the last time I was charged for ketchup was in Europe. The Burger-- bun was fine, lettuce and tomato were good. The essence of the burger, the patty, was a complete let down. I ordered a double bacon cheeseburger and there was hardly any meat on it. The meat that was present was horribly overcooked and very tough. The patties were packed way too tightly which only contributed to the absolute fiasco. Onion Rings-- execution was actually pretty good and the onion rings were crunchy; however, the batter was a little to pancake-like for my taste, but overall a valiant effort. It is too bad I had to leave 5 uneaten because I ran out of freakin' ketchup. Milk Shake--the shakes are made with soft serve and are below average. Atmosphere-- Yikes. Let's see . . . between the stray dogs snooping around ready to attack and the guy who pulled over and took a piss next to our car (yes, with us inside eating), I will keep my distance. read more

Delicious burgers, shakes, gyros, shrimp, onion rings - all the drive-in favorites. Cool spot, awesome staff.

This place lost my business today. I ordered a shrimp dinner. When I arrived at home my wife took a bite of the shrimp and found hairs inside the batter. So I told my wife to give me the food so I can go get my refund. When I arrived at Big Hairy Burger V the only thing the manager or owner said that they have been in business for 40 Years. Maybe your old ass should get your staff to wear hair nets. Nasty, dirty and disgusting. I will never go back to this place again. I won't recommend this filthy place to anyone. Thanks for wasting my time. read more

Little joint and its good food! Dairy Queen sells the same stuff as their only thing is Burger V isn't so expensive like Dairy Queen! Def recommend this place read more

Been coming here for years it's simply the best place for a huge burger with tons of fries my family & I love this local place

Been a family favorite place for almost 20 years. Same family has owned it since its humble beginnings. Buffalo balls are absolutely to die for. Perfect example of don't judge a book by its cover. Not the fanciest looking place, but definitely has delicious burgers. Everyone in Houston should try this place at least once. Get you a nice juicy burger!! read more

I've been going here ever since I was a kid! I typically love going here because it brings back a lot of memories with my family. The food is delicious and you must have a milkshake!! read more

When I was a kid my grand parents took us to Big Burger V for lunch. Was like a family picnic. Took my own kids there and now my grandkids. Always has been a family place. Best memories made right there sitting at those picnic tables. read more

Tried this place out for the first time today, ordered a double bacon cheeseburger, buffalo chicken balls, and a shake. The burger was ok nothing extraordinary about it , reminded me of whataburger except BBV's bacon is a lot thicker and crispier. The BCB were good would definitely come back for those , the shakes weren't anything special either.. Overall not bad but not great read more
