    Truffle fries
    Linda N.

    What a wonderful surprise of a place! We were in the area running errands and needed to grab a quick bite. I had the truffle burger, husband had the Texan burger and they actually cooked them medium rare like we requested. So deliciously juicy. Also excellent truffle fries. Well definitely be back for more.

    I was excited to try this place and was in the mood for a burger. Burger- I ordered a burger with avocado (lettuce wrapped) , fries, and a drink. The burger was good and fresh. The burger flavor reminds me of shake shack. Kids Meal- The kid's burger was very small. It was the size of a slider. They did give my kid a lot of fries, but the burger was tiny. The drink size was a regular soda and not those small kids cup, which was nice. Fries- The fries were served in a small bowl and it was $4.50 . It was a small amount for the price. They were thin cut fries , which weren't bad. Service- I wish the lady taking our order was a bit better. The worker (older lady) seemed annoyed to take my order. It was my first time there and no one else was in line, but made a face when I didn't order right away. She didn't smile and genuinely seemed annoyed the entire time. The burger was good, but probably will not return. It seems like a different place from the previous reviews.

    We have driven by this place a time or two and wondered.... Time to find out! Busy day so dinner was to go.... Excellent burger! Trying to lower carbs so I had mine lettuce wrapped- delicious! And I know it in un-American to say so, but I generally do not like French fries. But these were very good! Good place.

    I love mushroom Swiss burger, and I would drive far to eat one. BuffBurger has a simple menu. I got the mushroom Swiss burger with truffle hand cut fries, and no burger meal is complete without root beer float. My food was served to my table pretty quickly. I asked for medium rare meat but I got medium. However, I loved the sauces on the burger and the patty was delicious. The burger buns were so good! The fries were limp instead of crispy. However, I loved the truffle and cheese on them, which made the fries flavorful. I wasn't liking my root beer float that much as it was missing the intense root beer taste. The vanilla ice cream in the float wasn't adding much to the flavor too. Customers order at the counter, but the food will be served to your table. The restaurant has a carefree and casual vibe. There are plenty of seatings in the restaurant. Parking is also easily available.

    Texan Burger and Double Buff Smash

    Pretty good burgers overall... I tried the double patty smash burger and the texan, both were good, I'd say the smash burger was better. Good amount of seating inside and outside, and the staff were very nice! Took a star off because the fries were just bad. Both normal and truffle, just bad.

    Super good smash burger, especially with the truffle aioli sauce. The chicken sandwich was amazing along with the tater tots. Favorite meal after a long day. If I could give it 6-7 stars, I would.

    Buff Burger: Where Tastebuds Go to Retire in Happiness I walked into Buff Burger in Houston expecting a good burger. What I got was a life-changing, taste-bud-transforming, soul-lifting experience. The smash burger? Absolute perfection. The crispy, caramelized edges whispered sweet nothings to my soul. The juicy center hugged my mouth like it knew I'd had a rough day. Every bite was like a rom-com montage where I fall in love all over again--with beef. The bun? Pillowy like it had been personally fluffed by angels. The cheese? Melted in a way that would make even the sun jealous. And that first crunch of lettuce and onion? I swear I heard a choir of cows moo in approval. I didn't just eat a burger at Buff Burger--I had a spiritual awakening. If happiness could be smashed and seared on a griddle, this is it. Would I go back? Only if you want to see a grown adult shed a single tear of joy over a burger again. 11/10. Someone give this burger a Michelin star and a hug.

    Double Buff Smash with Hand-Cut Fries

    Very good burgers. Speedy service. Chill atmosphere. What more could you want?? They even have local Texan hot sauces. 11/10 will be back. The best fast food burger we have had in Houston so far!

    Hand-Cut Fries

    They changed their fries to thicker cut and now they match the level of the burger! The burger was already amazing!

Patty- juicy and full of flavor, Bun- toasted and soft at the same time, fries were crispy and salted to perfection and everything in between. Puts its local competitors to shame. The ambiance is fast casual, lots of seating, people socializing, and a vibe that makes you ask yourself why you haven't visited earlier. Service was quick and friendly, they made great recommendations for first time customers. I actually ordered the wrong shake on accident and they gave me a second one for free. Glad to see that even in this economy the staff doesn't nickel and dime you. Great people Whether you're in the mood for a quick bite or a casual date, I'd honestly use any excuse to stop by again!

A standard smashed Double cheeseburger and generous extra crispy impressively seasoned waffle fries as you want it cost $16 which is fair since adding the fries vs standalone burger is only $1 price differential. Clutch City Grill sits next to Burger Chan (the most recent title holder of best burger for my son) but this Sunday, they were not open so we tried the one we didn't try last time--CCG. And let me just say that this place tucked away inside a collective indoor food concession aka The Conservatory Galleria, has every right to boldly don the clutch city burger title. Inside this perfectly grilled almost Hawaiian role type hint of sweet homemade bun is a masterclass of burger perfection, made right in front of you and to your liking based on your selections from the order tap screens. While, waiting, I looked at everything I didn't order as it was being served and I'm almost certain that anything you order at CCG is delicious. Presentation is superb because others were sitting with large selections in front of them that caused me a bit of buyers remorse--I couldn't decide. The vibe is chill enough to talk to the grill master while my son was figuring out his massive burger order--he randomly had a hash brown added to a patty melt. And ordered something to take home or in case one order wasn't enough for the teen appetite. But the food is massive. I cannot stress that enough. Portions of everything there are beyond generous from what we saw and this is the kind of place where there's delivery guys picking up, people working on their laptops and the average joe grabbing takeout after work as well as families having dinner but not crowded. We sat and reflected on a great shopping day in a chill environment and reminisced on the old days of Galleria area last minute back to school night before/we should do this more type of memories in the making. The take something to go plus my own leftover (cutting the burger in half is an open from the order touch screen) and it passed the ultimate test of being really good cold the next day. This place begs the question--where is everybody? I can't be the only one who knows about it. But also was inviting enough to silently confirm that I think we've found our place. One that even has a cool bathroom with a mirror that says "you look amazing." Exactly how you're going to feel about the food that looks even better than it does in its promo photos

The brussel sprouts offered as an alternate side were pretty solid, we got two options and both had good flavor if not a little over seasoned. The burgers were bad. The patty was totally unremarkable and may be frozen out of the box patty. The rest of the toppings were fine, but nothing outstanding and nothing that could make up for an awful patty. The fries are ok. Drinks- 3 stars Milkshake was ok. Lemongrass Matcha was overly sweet. Service- 5 stars Super nice and helpful counter folks.

Burger wise, this place is just a well executed classic burger. Big, juicy, fresh toppings, honestly nothing to complain about. The onion rings were some of the best that I've had recently, and I ordered their "Texas size steak sandwich" to go as well for dinner, very filling. I'm so glad I finally took the time to try out this EaDo gem. I understand why they've been a Houston burger staple for so long now. I'll definitely be adding this place to the list in my burger rotation, enjoy!
