The customer service was absolutely amazing. We sat upstairs on the covered patio area and had a very nice gentlemen check in with us regularly and when we were done offered to bring us to go boxes and bags. Definitely didn't expect that from here. The food was good. Not very flavorful but still really good. Made fresh and hot when we ate. I feel the price is pretty good for the food and quality you get. I would definitely go again and recommend. Parking wasn't too bad either My experience was based on a weekday around 6pm. The ONLY "negative" experience was they don't accept cash. Which I understand from a safety perspective read more

Solid 4 stars. The burger was good and the fries were crispy. This is your classic smashed burger on a potato bun so nothing super special. The decor is cool and the yellow/red stands out amongst the other buildings around it. I was able to order with no line and the food came out within 10min. Parking is limited to a small parking lot. There's plenty of seating inside and on the roof. read more

This spot is a nice throwback to your neighborhood burger joints. Their Double Smashburger with grilled onions is nice!!! Fresh pressed with a flavor profile for the majority. If you want to bump it up a notch, bring your own season to add. Both the smashburger and fries were piping hot and did not leave a ring of grease on the paper. Their service is jovial and everyone seemed to be vibing with the music playing in the background. The establishment is constantly being cleaned by the door attendants. The strawberry shake was ok, I think I will try it without whip cream next time and see if they have scoops of strawberries to add to the bottom. Try the sunset view from the second level!! read more

Solid four! The burger was great! The Mexican coke was warm. Thankfully I didn't need napkins! They were soaked in condiments. I would definitely go back and get this in person. Solid 4. Great burger. The fries were good. The burger seemed freshly made and tasted good. The bacon was solid too! Tasted like real high quality bacon. Easy four star review. Would definitely recommend them to anyone that has not tried them. read more

Tried Burger Bodega and honestly, it was just okay. I had higher expectations based on the hype, but it didn't really stand out to me. The burger was decent...nothing bad, just nothing memorable or different from other spots. The vibe is cool and it's a solid quick bite, but overall it didn't feel like anything special. Not a bad experience, just not one I'd go out of my way for again. read more

I've been wanting to try their smash burgers for a while now since I had a friend who used to work at their pop ups before they had their brick and mortar on Washington. I still see all the long lines even late at night a couple years later. I had the single smash burger with fries. I liked the potato bun which is soft and adds some sweetness. Growing up, we used to buy potato bread and made sandwiches with it. It's nostalgic. The bodega sauce also reminds me of the fry sauce we made with ketchup and mayo. I regret not getting the double or triple patties cause the meat was smashed really thin and is smaller compared to other smash burger joints. It made it hard to really taste the actual burger meat and tasted more of bread and sauce. The fries were ok. I think it's thinly batter-coated to maintain crispiness which I'm not a fan of. I've seen other places do the same. I wish it had seasoning or something. I've tried the chopped cheese when they did the collab with The Kolache Shoppe and thought it had good flavor. I would try the double or triple smash next time, but I wouldn't want to go out of my way to wait in line for it. Plus, their burgers are pricey. I didn't see any combo options. I don't mind the other smash burger joints like Smashburger, Freddy's, and Trill. I love a good burger, but maybe I'm not as into the "smash" aspect. To each their own. Rodeo Goat still reigns supreme in my burger book! read more

Overall good burger with all the fun bodega vibes. I really appreciated all the details they put into the decor when designing this restaurant. I was quite satisfied with everything we got at the restaurant. Ordered: - Smash Burger - Fries - nice and crispy. - Screwed Fries - At first I felt like the bodega sauce and cheese didn't make a big difference in the fries, but the more I ate it the more I enjoyed it. We also felt they give you slightly more fries in this order than with the fries itself. - Mango Lassi Shake - yummy and definitely would get again. Parking lot here is quite limited so that can be a little sucky especially since they seem to be quite busy. Honestly a really good option for late night food. read more

This place is 100 percent a NYC bodega vibe meets h-town swag. The burgers have a perfect lattice to them and paired with the spicy bodega sauce and the cheese, it is pure heaven. One of the best smash burgers I've ever had. I come to houston for MD Anderson help every few months. This place is always an automatic visit. The shakes are crazy creamy and perfect too. Fries are just some great everyday fries with a good crisp. Compliments burger perfectly. The service is always quick and dope. They are very accommodating. They never mess my orders up with the many times I've been there. This place is a must visit, the inside theme is so good, with its 90s/2000s feel. Awesome art and decor. I'll always be back. read more

Came in around 8:30pm on a Thursday night and it was still packed! The service is great; everyone is so kind and we got our food quickly. The place itself has an amazing vibe, decorated as a Houston-style bodega. Limited parking but there's street parking available as well. We ordered the double smashburgers, side of fries, and a strawberry milkshake (we ordered without whipped cream). The burgers come with cheese, grilled onions, and pickles; lettuce is a $0.25 add-on but they give you a good amount. The burgers are juicy, full of flavor, a decent size, a soo tasty! It didn't blow my mind, but a good burger for sure. The fries were crispy and soft on the inside, the milkshake tasted like real strawberries instead of the artifical stuff & was delicious! Definitely will be coming back! read more

Arrived to the burger bodega on a sunday around 1pm and was able to get the last parking spot in the back. Was greeted by friendly cashiers and servers. The vibe was cool, with a diverse crowd of patrons. Was here w the fam jam, everyone obviously ordered burgers and fries. The bun was this billowy potato bun with sparse condiments. Double patty ,smashed and crispy on the periphery of the meat. It was good, but for me it just didnt have the crack addict super high feeling i got when i first tried shake shack 15 years ago. I think the burger lacked beefiness. But maybe that's just the nature of a smash burger. Atmosphere cool, service awesome. Just didnt hit for me. The shake was yum per my kiddo - read more

Burger Bodega absolutely lived up to the hype. I went on a Tuesday night and the place was packed, which is always a good sign. Even with the long line, the ordering process was surprisingly fast and efficient, so we didn't have to wait long at all. One thing I really loved was being able to customize my burger so I asked for extra spice and it came out perfect. Super flavorful, juicy, and exactly what I was craving. You can tell they really pay attention to quality and taste. I also tried my friend's shake and wow!! It was so so creamy and delicious. Definitely getting one for myself next time. read more

Looking for a tasty smash burger while feeling like you transported to a gritty New York style hole in a wall restaurant? This is it. Menu is simple and so you know they only specialize in delicious burgers. The double smash burger has the right amount of ingredients and wasn't greasy and the patties weren't paper thin. It paired nicely with chopped fries. The fries wasn't drowning in cheese sauce which is good. Only thing I would like is for them to add a tad bit more chopped beef to give it more oommpppff. It was my first time and I def would come back. The price point is good. Beware though, there may be a long line! read more

Burger Bodega is definitely a place that needs a repeat visit. Their menu is straightforward and simple, the food came out quickly and the staff was really friendly. The packaging of the burger was super cute and I love the overall aesthetic. The burger was super delicious, not super greasy, and I really liked the sauce. The fries were also really delicious, I was surprised by the onion (in a good way). The only downside is that the day we went, it was cold and raining and seemingly everyone decided to go that day. The inside is really small though they have outdoor seating as well. We ended up kinda battling with a super large group that was trying to hold tables, which was really annoying, though we did end up getting to sit inside and eat. I'd like to go back and try again without the seating battle, maybe when the weather is better. read more

I had a great time visiting this spot. The vibes inside are of a New York City Metro rail system. It starts with even the gift cards. They are selling at the register being an MTA pass. Very unique idea as you walk through the space the ambience resembles in New York Metro station and has flares of Houston with NASA signs and serial boxes with their marketing on it really unique. I ordered a double smash burger over lettuce as well as a single smash regular style. I also ordered a side of fries as well as cheese sauce, and their Harlem aïoli sauce. The smashed patty is laced crispy, but has meat under which pairs for a good combo and their grilled onions and sauce combo make for a great bite. The fries are very crispy, and the Harlem aïoli has ginger, garlic, and some sort of tang which makes for a nice dipping sauce for either the fries or the burger. The cheese sauce is the only recommendation I would give. It was too milky and didn't have enough of a cheese taste that would be my one recommendation. Other than that everything on the menu was great and I would recommend this spot. read more

10 ot of 10 recommends, Burger Bodega! After my workout today I was in the mood for a mouthwatering cheeseburger and fries as a reward. Don't judge me! Lol. Not wanting a run-of-the-mill chain burger spot, I needed it to be top tier. I searched some options and came upon Burger Bodega. Now, I'd heard of the name before, but today was the day to actually try it. Located on Washington Ave this place has a vibe all its own. Evidently the food is amazing because the line to get in for order/pick up was wrapped around the building (P.S. it's probably best to order ahead for pick up if wanting your food to go). I opted to dine in to get the full experience so I didnt mind the wait. By the time I got in inside I could see that it was limited space and seating (downstairs) however I was able to snag a seat, and the time it took to order and get my food was relatively fast. I was made aware that there was an upstairs patio with plenty more seating, but this was after the fact. My Burger and fries was everything I needed and wanted it to be! The burger was hot, juicy, cheesy, and seasoned to perfection! The potato bun it was on was soft and delicious! And that Bodega sauce?!? Indeed! The fries were hot, golden and had the perfect crisp...all of it fantastic and well worth the money spent! I washed it down with a Mexican Coke which hit the spot! A server came and checked in me which I thought was pretty nice considering how packed amd busy it was inside. Parking for me was easy, I was able to find a spot right away. However, keep in mind that the parking lot is tight and small, so if you can't find a spot there, street parking is available. I'm glad I came here. Check it out for yourself! Come for the food, stay for the vibe! Enjoy! P.S. They have merch for sale too! read more

I was super excited to try Burger Bodega. I tried the double smash burger with the screwed fries. The bun was pillowy soft but the meat itself lacked flavor. The bodega sauce was similar to a Mac sauce for me, which is not my taste. There was a little too much sweetness to it for me. The screwed fries were O.K but they were covered in twice the amount of bodega sauce than cheese. The service was fairly quick and everyone is super attentive and polite. read more

After flopping horrendously at Momentum Indoor Climbing, I decided to treat myself to some Burger Bodega with my friend, and I'm pleased to say it did NOT disappoint. Parking is tight, but it's definitely possible to find a spot, and there was limited seating available as well; the ambiance of the place definitely makes up for it, though! Burger Bodega's interior has a cool, vintage, and retro vibe, which I found myself constantly admiring. The workers were also extremely friendly, and one of them consistently checked on us throughout our meal. :) I ordered their classic Smash Burger with spicy mayo and a single patty instead of a double because I also wanted to try their Screwed Fries (spoiler alert: they're amazing). Overall, my meal was satisfying, without leaving me feeling bloated or having to burp. The crispy texture of the beef patty was incredible, and I also thought that their pickle was unique, unlike the pickles I find at other burger joints. As for the Screwed Fries, I was worried the onions would overpower the taste, but I did not find that to be the case at all; the fries were crispy and lightly salted as well. Given its portion size, it's a side that can definitely be shared with a group. If I had to make any suggestion, they went a little heavy with the cheese sauce, but overall, I'm salivating at the thought of returning to Burger Bodega, and I'll definitely try their milkshakes next time! read more

A friend told me that the burgers here were consistently ranked amongst the best and I have to say, I now know why. WOW! I ordered the Smash Burger Double which included 2 smashed patties, American cheese, grilled onions, housemade pickles and bodega sauce in a potato bun. This was one of the most delicious burgers I've ever had! It is the perfect size and so tasty! I also ordered the Screwed Fries (crispy thin cut fries, cheese sauce, onions, Bodega sauce) which were good and plenty for 2 people. The restaurant itself is very small but the decor is pretty cool and they have parking in the back. Service was also good! I will definitely come back! read more

Been on my list for awhile now and did not disappoint. The smashed patties were tender and juicy. The only added a sweet caramelized element that was well enjoyed. Good buns too. This is another one of your classic but great smashed burger. The strawberry also had a great classic taste and was not too thick in consistency. The place does feel a little cramped. There is an outdoor patio but won't be very ideal now that the weather is getting cooler. There is also a certain Latin element in here that was different but appreciated. read more

Burger Bodega is a trendy burger spot with an unexpectedly ultra-modern interior. I've heard a lot of good things about it, and it lived up to its hype. I got the smash burger double, which is their classic burger. The burger and fries were both very good. They have indoor seating downstairs and outdoor rooftop seating. The service was surprisingly good for a counter service restaurant as they came upstairs to ask if we wanted refills. They have a small parking lot, so we found nearby street parking. read more

Some of the best smash burgers in town with one of the coolest looking shop in the city. Each and every time I've swung by it is very packed, a testament to my bold statement! I routinely come here when I'm craving burgers, the quality each time has been consistently some of the best for their burgers. Highly recommend getting their smash burgers! Their fries can easily be shared between two people and it'll definitely be filling! Their service is always attentive despite being such a small store. A very simple menu of burgers, burger add ons, fries, and shakes. I have yet to try their shakes but from other reviews they seem good. They also offer vietnamese coffee shakes which I think is quite unique! Parking can prove to be challenging as their lot is very small. Some street parking can be found a little further down the street Seating inside is limited with a limited amount of tables and bar type seats. More seating can be found on their balcony which is perfect for when there is cooler weather read more

Burger Bodega - Double smash burger with spicy mayo, screwed fries, and a triple smash burger with aioli - Burgers Near Me - Houston, Texas

My burger and fries were made fresh! It was super good with both patties and the aioli sauce. It does come with cheese but I opted out. If you do decided to add on other items / ingredients that would normally come in a burger that will cost you, so be prepared. The restaurant was really nice and reminded me of when I would go out all night and need a quick bite to soak up all of the alcohol lol. They do have an upstairs patio for you to enjoy your food at, as well. The parking is scarce! So be prepared to park on the street. You will see signs everywhere saying "no burger bodega parking" Overall I'd go back again and sit inside to enjoy the atmosphere, music and vibes read more

I came here craving a good smash burger, and I'm happy to report I got exactly that. My friend and I met up here early on a weekday evening and were helped and served quickly, but it quickly got busy throughout the night. Menu is simple. We each got a classic double smash burger and the quality was excellent. I've heard this place compared to Trill Burgers a few times and the burgers are definitely similar, but I much prefer the quality and flavors here. Wish I could have tried a milkshake, but it was too cold the night I went- but they do sell Pudgy's Fine Cookies here so I took one home to go! All the employees were friendly and constantly kept our tables clean. The parking lot is decent, but it fills up quickly. The decor immerses you in an artistic interpretation of a New York bodega and made the atmosphere very fun. I look forward to my next visit! - Ambiance: 4/5 - Food: 4/5 - Service: 5/5 read more

Burger Bodega is a flashy and modern fast casual spot decorated similar to a Rice Box style; lights, retro colors, and fairly flashy. Very Instagrammy and I think that was the point of their interior decor. Located on Washington Ave, the menu is fairly simple and is reminiscent of a fast food burger truck menu. There's smashburgers, fries, and shakes and that's it, which is nice when the menu is compact. We ordered the chopped fries ($8.95) and the double smashburger ($9.95), total with tax and tip came out to above $30. The service is good for what it is; you order up front and grab your food when it's complete and then put away the trays (think Torchy's). The fries are good fast food fries which are crisp and the toppings are rich with the cheese and aioli topping. The smash burger though was a bit average for me; the smashed beef patties had a crispy texture but were very thin and that lacked a bite and beef flavor. The bread was pre-made Martin's potato rolls out of their packaging. There was also a mayonnaise based sauce and some diced onions. It's fine but for $9.95, I felt you can get much better flavor and value from an actual gourmet burger from a variety of spots inside the loop. Overall, it seems like a decent late night burger spot in this immediate area but if I had an In n out next door, the choice would be easy to pick between. I don't think the value proposition is there for me personally though. read more

After a lot of friends recommended this place we went there and I must say I absolutely loved this place. The food was amazing there is not a big menu. Small options we ordered their fries, smashed burger, and sandwiches that I forgot the name of, but the taste was unforgettable! Also, they were really friendly and gave me a vibe like I'm a regular there haha. There was a guy I think he was the owner who was helpful about the menu. All in all, you should give it at least one try. As for me, I will definitely be returning! read more

Probably 1 of the better burgers in Houston, but they have very few parking spaces so just be prepared to find a spot close by on the street. The burgers are smashed so thin it doesn't really feel like you're eating very much, but they're tasty and crispy almost like a potato chip. I'd recommend at least a double if not a triple patty burger, but their patties are well seasoned. The fries were nice and crispy, a little thicker, but not fried with beef tallow which was surprising. There's also not a ton of seating inside so you may have to wait for a table, but it's worth the wait if you have to do so. I'd go back again if I was craving burgers. read more

A friend and I came here on a Thursday night, and it was still very busy! Even with the crowd, the staff took our order quickly, and our food arrived pretty fast. The decor inside was fun and unique. They had different "household products" with their own branding, which I thought was a clever touch. I ordered the double smash burger, which came with two patties, bacon, cheese, and onion. The potato bun was soft, and the burger was really juicy! The fries were perfectly crunchy and salted just right. My friend got the same burger but added lettuce for an extra $.99, but she did say it came with a sizable amount. I also tried the strawberry milkshake, which had a great consistency and a fresh strawberry flavor. It didn't taste artificial, and you could actually taste little bits of real strawberry. Everything tasted fresh, the service was speedy, and it's a fun spot to grab a classic burger and shake in Houston! read more

Finally made it to Burger Bodega which is off Washington. They have a parking lot a short walk away from the place, but inside it's huge by any means. Staff was extremely friendly and their menu is small - very quick service getting out what few items they make WELL. I kinda like the model! I had the double smash burger with aioli and lettuce/tomato added, plus a side of fries. I was surprised how quickly it came out. Overall, it was a solid greasy burger and the fries were solid too. Maybe slightly overhyped in my opinion but still a great experience - I think the flavors and spices were decent but could've been better. read more

As soon as you walk through the door, you feel like you're in a burger joint in New York. I love everything going on here: the decor, the ordering process which was swift, the friendly staff, the simple menu, and the seating which includes a rooftop with plenty of tables. I was happy they had a plant based option on the menu with their impossible smash burger. That paired with hot, crispy fries and a vanilla shake. I was as happy as can be. I opted to sit out on the rooftop enjoying the Houston skyline while I throughly and happily enjoyed my burger. This place rocks!!! read more

We had an excellence experience at Burger Bodega. While there, we got the double smash, regular fries, screwed fries, and a chocolate shake. The burgers had a great taste, were the right thickness and had great toppings. The fries were excellent and the cheese on the screwed fries was not overbearing. The chocolate shake was great as well. There is lots of fun Houston decor all over the restaurant. Note- the line moves quick but was out the door when we got there at 6:30 on a Friday. read more

Burger Bodega is one of my favorite places to go if I'm craving smash burgers. The concept of the restaurant is simple as they only have a few items on the menu, but everything is executed so well. I typically get the double smash burger and share the screwed fries with my partner. The servings are definitely fair as the fries are enough to share with others, and the burger is a good size. Flavor wise, everything works so well. The bodega sauce is great and I like getting the Harlem Aioli on the side to which they describe as a garlic aioli sauce. We were able to try the Vietnamese Coffee Milkshake and that was also super good. The coffee flavor is strong and overall works great in a shake format. Service was good as the line moves pretty fast, food came out in a timely manner, and the staff are constantly checking to see if you are doing good, or cleaning tables for more people to sit at. The ambiance of the restaurant is so cute with its bodega theme that makes me feel like we are in New York. They have seating above the restaurant too which is pretty cool. Overall, burger bodega is such a solid place to go with friends and family. Note: Parking is pretty difficult imo. They have a small parking lot behind the restaurant but typically is always full when I go. If you follow the signage, it will guide you to an additional lot they have about a block away. I think the lighting could be a bit better at night in this lot, but overall was safe. Definitely carpool if you are planning to go with a lot of friends. read more
