I always try to support small family run non-chain restaurants. But cant say I recommend Bubbas! Sorry to say the service was bad, food was not good overall. We are from out of town for work and have driven by Bubbas everyday for the past 19 days. We had never seen more than 2-3 cars there and rarely saw anyone seated in the patio area. There is no inside seating. We tried Bubbas on a Sunday evening. Walked in and were not greeted by staff for at-least 3-3 minutes. There was no one else at the place eating or waiting on their order. The employees were just talking in the kitchen. They all saw us at the register 5' away. We ordered and were told they had no beef patties. Only Bison available. We ordered a Hotdog, 1 Bison Burger, 2 Bison Patty Melts, 2 onion rings, 2 cups of the "Famous Chili" and chili cheese fries. When the order was ready, we received 2 patty melts, hotdog, 1 onion ring and a chili cheese fry. We were missing 2 cups of chili, 1 onion ring, and Bison Burger. They employee was confused and couldnt figure out what was missing. We did finally receive 2 cups of "famous chili" but no bison burger and onion ring. We just ate what we had and figured the rest was a loss. Ok so this "famous chili" was NOT good at all! It was 100% spice/heat with NO flavor! It had no seasoning except spice! The chili cheese fries were ruined by the chili. The Bison Patty Melts were good. The Hotdog was good also, but after all its a hotdog. I am surprised Bubbas is rated this high. Maybe tonight was a bad night, but I will never know since I wont be back and do not recommend this place. read more

Great food but the kids working up there always get the order wrong. They always forget something. Example, they give chili and forget the cheese. Food is not very consistent. The chili can be too spicy or too watery. Same goes for the potato salad. Either way too spicy or not enough. We love the food but always, they mess up . read more

Visited Bubba's Texas Burger Shack while in Houston. The atmosphere was casual with a true old-school vibe -- the kind of place where the name says it all: "Bubba" feels homemade and "shack" takes you back in time. The location, tucked under the highway, oddly adds to the character and charm. The service was friendly and easygoing. Tried the burger and fries -- the burger was basic but good, and the fries were well-seasoned and nicely crispy. Overall, a great spot for locals and worth a return visit. Saluti read more

I've been to this location many times, but it's been years since I'd been back. If you're ever in the mood for a dive/ice house burger vibe, look no further The locations is rather peculiar as it is located directly under the highway at west park and 69. Ethereally something about it being the only thing tucked under the highway there that makes it sort of inviting and quaint The exterior is particularly inviting as it's rustic, has an order window, various patio seating, and it just looks like a good time You will order inside. Then menu is on the wall. They have a list of delicious signature burgers, but they also have classics and BYO options. They use both beef and bison for burger options. Order a side of fries or a bag of chips. They also have alcoholic and non alcoholic drink options The staff were great. Very personable, helpful, and made great small talk. The order was prepared quickly, and they passed it to me with a smile through the order window outside These burgers are tasty. They're big, they're messy, but they're very flavorful. I took mine togo, but feel free to dine on one of their shaded patios Some tips: Their credit card reader was temporarily out of order, so, they had to manually input the credit card numbers. If you're not comfortable with that, bring cash. There is a parking lot, but it can get slightly bumpy and wet as it's a gravel lot Cheers!! read more

I ordered my # 1 favorite here togo being the Bison Hotdog with nothing on it. I don't like relish at all, don't like ketchup and only like a pinch of mustard. A good hotdog needs none of these, but that's each person's call. The bun was thick, soft and fresh. The bison dog itself was very delicious, hearty, savory and definitely not gamy or so so small you could miss it. It was crunchy, tender, soft in the middle and yet higher in volume in the middle too. It was obviously not as fatty as a beef one, but still just as awesome. If we're talking about TX only hotdog places, this one is in my top 2 for sure. read more

Ambiance under the overpass kinda feel, but looks like home. Great burgers, great staff, and consistently excellent yum. Sure it's a popular place, but don't drive past it.

Ordered lunch from here yesterday. We had no idea it was a little roadside shack. They did not disappoint!! It was so cold but it was worth getting out the car. When you go inside the music catches your attention. The staff was enjoying themselves while cooking and preparing the food. It was truly made with love. I will go back in the near future but beware you will get sleepy after eating . Tip: they get busy around lunch so call before you head that way; especially if you have a limited break time If you get chili cheese fries be careful because the containers were topped with foil and it spilled over cutting through the bad etc on our less than 10 min drive back read more

Consistently well made bison bbq burgers. Been coming here for 10 years and it never disappoints. Make it a stop to eat at this quirky place underneath the freeway in Houston. Long wooden benches and tvs with sports and a double wide trailer for the restaurants. Cashier was very friendly. Ambiance is very casual. Perfect for solo or just friends. NOT a date spot.

Had high expectations from a food bloggers recommendation but ultimately was disappointed. We went with a large group (7) and go inconsistent answers/recommendation from the same employee for the same questions. There were also a few errors in our orders (I.e cheese not changed as requested, patty forgotten for a burger etc.) Had the Bison Patty Melt on rye as recommended by other Yelpers and was ultimately disappointed. Not a lot of flavour or sustenance and I left hungry. My partner had the Vegas burger and we were more impressed by the flavour and ingredients on that burger. The fries were well seasoned and yummy. Ultimately just a little disappointed and won't be returning there are other better burger places in Houston. read more

That jalapeño potato salad? So good. Had just the right kick, spicy but not too much. I really liked that you can choose between a wheat or white bun for your burger. That's a nice little detail most places don't offer. Everything came out hot and fresh, just how it should. The seasoned fries were bomb, crispy, flavorful, no complaints. And the customer service? Super solid. Folks were friendly, chill, and made the whole experience even better. Definitely a spot I'd come back to. Real good food, real good vibes. read more

With all the hype this spot gets, I guess we just expected more? Got a double stack with bacon and fries and it was just ok. The burger search continues.. read more

My company was hosting a belated Memorial Day luncheon in the office and what's more American than Burgers! Luckily Bubba's is right down the street from our office! We had Bubba's Cater our lunch last year and the food was great so we figured let's do it again this year! I called the restaurant to get a quote for 65 burgers and the host who picked up asked to put me on hold because she needed to talk to the GM. The GM Leo picked up the phone and took my order for 65 burgers (cheese burgers and regular burgers) with an additional 10 plain beef patties on the side. They did it catering style so we could "build your own burger" at the office. On the day of- I had to add a bean burger and a salad because I found out there were 2 individuals who were vegan & vegetarian and Leo was super accommodating to add those orders last minute. The only downer was that the salad dressing did not make it with the salad so the individual who got the salad did not have any dressing with their salad. When we came to pick up the food at 11:20AM, (arrived 10 minutes early) the kitchen was still prepping the food. We waited in my car until 11:35AM when they came out with all the trays of food and condiments. I waited another 5-10 minutes for the buns to be done toasting and brought out to my car and everything was set. Overall the food was delicious and even though we missed the salad dressing, everyone still enjoyed everything! one thing I would change is probably asking for the cheese to be left on the side because everyone loved the patties that had the cheese on it already. We were left with all the patties that didn't have cheese on it so next time, definitely asking for the cheese to be on the side so others can add cheese if they wanted to. read more

A simple burger is all you need. Who cares about all the other stuff? I ordered a patty melt. It was a decent size. Order it on rye for sure. So tasty. We liked it the best of the three we ordered. The onion rings were whole ones. Perfect crisp. The fries with the chili cheese was great. Loveddd the kick of the chili. I want to go back for the Frito pie now. Overall the service was decent. They have a pick up window outside. Decent wait time. The space overall wasn't anything to write home about. I'm sure not in the Texas summer would likely work better. No a/c. But fans. read more

It's not convenient, elegant, or hip but Bubba's Texas Burger Shack delivers burgers cooked "low and slow" with their custom chili/paprika-based dry rub, and prices are totally reasonable in addition to very chill, friendly, understanding staff. I do not like eating under a freeway with the constant noise but I like the rough tables and congenial atmosphere, so I always go back, and have never had a bad experience. read more

Food was decent, but service was not good. Came as a group and we're waiting on a friend before ordering, but while waiting an employee rudely asked if we were waiting for someone implying that we were just loitering, brushed it off ordered a burger with chili fries, for the burger but regular fry's, no big deal, went back to get fry's fixed but they took my burger away then when I went back for my burger they said it was gonna be a 10min wait because "it wasn't good anymore" even though everything was freshly made, came here optimistic bc of the good reviews but they need to work on their customer service read more

It's ok not too good not too bad? I was bit disappointed as this burger joint has been around for a long time. Their patty is thin, consider double and ask to taste chilli before adding onto your fries. read more

The nastiest frozen burger patty ever. The burger lacked taste/ seasoning. I requested it to be smashed and let's say the cook didn't get the message. I was looking for real beef and that's not what I got. This isn't the cleanest place on the inside but I still have it a try. I would give them a zero if it were an option. read more

If you want a burger that hits all of the proper notes, Bubba's Texas Burger Shack is the location to be. I went over on a whim and became blown away via the taste, especially the bison burger, which changed into juicy, properly cooked, and bursting with Texas-sized taste. The relaxed atmosphere and pleasant provider improved the overall experience. It has truly earned a place on my should-see listing. read more

The last unique old burger dive in Houston I can still give high marks to. Bellaire Broiler burger is gone. Langford opened a second store and I couldn't get behind it. Gave it three chances, maybe I need to try again. The original I couldn't give above 3 or 4 starts. Buffalo with American cheese and grilled onions is my jam. Potato salad has always been fantastic. Served and stays cold in mini steyerfoam cup. The fact that it has dodged imminent domain for the last 30 years and is still strong, means it must be god's will that this place continues to serve burgers. If you liked Kay's Lounge, Blacos, Gilleys....now all gone, you will like this place. True Texas burgers from a bygone era. read more

You will eat a great ol' fashioned burger here. Forget shake shack, McD or other crappy burger chains. This place has top tasting bison or beef burgers. Order the onion rings and they will make you cry of how good they are. If you visit Houston, you need to eat at this landmark. This is a hole-in-the-wall place, so if you raise your pinky when you drink a cup of coffee, this is not for you. The service is as expected of this type of venue. They were quick to serve and that is all that matters. I highly recommend!!! read more

Super friendly staff! Delicious Joe's Tea! Seasoned fries on point! However, that Bison burger, sucks! Never again! ...

Our burger club decided to try this place, we had all been there but not in years. The place has changed. Several types were tried, including bison. The general opinion was...blah nothing special. I have no opinion on the burger, after fifteen minutes and several people who ordered after me were served my order was finally announced as ready. One bite is all it took, ICE COLD bacon and a stone cold burger. In a tiny shack somehow my order just sat I guess but I just wasn't waiting for a fresh one when the whole group was already finished eating. Needless to say we won't be visiting again. read more

I've been here twice now and I love it! My first time I built my own and got a double bacon burger with a side of fries. It was amazing! My second time I decided to try their patty melt and chili cheese fries and to say the least it was amazing again! Everything was so flavorful and the fries were perfectly seasoned and crispy. I always drove past it and thought how interesting it was placed right by all the freeways but I get it you cannot get rid of such a great burger spot. The vibes were great, they have plenty of out door seating with tvs and you can always take your food to go if it's too hot. Service was good and helpful. Living so close to this spot is definitely dangerous because I will be back. read more

The fries are well seasoned, and were the highlight of the visit. The single patty for the bison burger was huge - at least 8 ounces which was very filling. The bison burger was similar to a homemade burger so if you're looking for something straightforward and simple then this is it. I would not recommend the grilled cheese sandwich since it's on a hamburger bun but on the positive side it was LOADED with cheese. read more

Seems like this place has gone downhill. It's very dirty inside and they do not serve their black bean burgers anymore. Which is fine but they should really just cross it off the menu at least. Also when I got my drink out of the fridge it was stuck to the fridge with some sort of sticky residue. The service was okay, the young lady at the front wasn't friendly but wasn't rude either. Just seemed like she didn't want to be there. read more

I had high expectations for this place. Ordered the regular burger with no tomato and a bowl of chili. The chili was great. The burger was not. The tomato was left on, which I can deal with, but the meat had zero flavor. It didn't even have salt on the meat. If not for the chili this would be a one star rating. read more

Oh yes, Houston's food scene isn't truly diverse without its own greasy burger shack. Under a tollway? Even better. Eat your burger on the porch as you look out across the road at the Micro Center, peak Houston. I got the Famous Patty Melt, very solid beef patty, with all the toppings you love: grilled onions, grilled cheese, and some jalapenos. Personally, I don't think the rye hit the spot for me, next time I'd opt for a regular bun (I hope they can toast that!). Restrooms are definitely what I'd expect from a shack, just a FYI. It's a normal toilet but the space is a small. At least it's not an outhouse. While the Shack has a very solid burger, the pricing is a bit high considering the location, the value isn't just quite there, Whataburger and In-And-Out are still in the running for when I'm hankering for a burger. Drunk me? See you at the shack! read more

This is definitely a hidden gem! They offer homemade beef and bison burgers. The flavor can be summed up with one word: amazing! The homemade chili has a definite kick but is delicious.

Aneena: Woww. This is my first time eating here and I will definitely be coming back! Theres a couple selection of burgers as well as build your own with a choice of bison and beef as your meats. I got a single patty beef burger with no bun and it was super delicious! The meat was juicy and it was a filling meal. I ordered the fries alongside the burger and omg... best fries ever. They are seasoned spectacularly and they are perfectly crispy. I was eating that up with such speed! Dillon: Probably my favorite burger in Houston as of now. Takes me back to the days of Bernie's Burger Bus... The fries are good too. The Vegas burger is the best thing on the menu. The order options are a bit limited though even for a burger place. It's worth the price for semi-special occasions ie Aneena wants fries. read more

The bison burger is really good, the service was excellent and quick with making the food, would come again the next time I'm in Houston!

UPDATE: I neglected to consider the tip I added. I hope that went to Bubba's. Also, I have been refunded the difference in the price for the menu items comparing Bubba's pricing and GrubHub's mark up. Buyer BEWARE! See my photo. I went through Yelp to connect to Bubba's Website. There were TWO Order buttons to use. I chose the long one at the very bottom of the screen. I then chose TakeOut (not Delivery.). That button goes through GrubHub. When the Bubba's staff was confused when we arrived to pick up our Take-Out (That had a @GrubHub sticker sealing the bag,) he suggested we order through Bubba's website. Thought I had. My @GrubHub paid for order was $40. FORTY! When I tapped the correct Order button (a smaller button slightly obscured,) my order should have been $26 dollars! GrubHub stole $13 from me. THIRTEEN. read more
