    Vibes! You feel transported to a different city when you enter. The was in the mood for cheesesteak when I came across their chopped cheese. It was a total win! The smash burger and fries were also a hit but the chopped cheese was definitely the star of the show. A must try! I must add the service was excellent. The person taking the order was very knowledgeable about the menu. It's straightforward but there are options! Loved it all around!

    I was so excited to try this place and it did not disappoint! The burger and fries were absolutely fantastic. 10/10. I also like the portion size cause it wasn't too big. Inside interior gave off hip retro vibes. Next time I come back to Houston I will be coming here again!

    I got take out from here! I did the chopped cheese, fries and mango lassi milkshake! Everything was delicious! Even the fries were perfectly crispy! Wish they had burger bodega closer to where I live cause I would def be back!

    Burger Bodega is definitely a spot you go to more for the vibe than the food. The branding and aesthetics are what I think made this spot go viral; the inside is vintage inspired with bold, vibrant colors, cool interior decor, and even merch that makes it feel like a full-on photo op destination. The upstairs seating area was actually a nice hangout spot too, breezy with fans and a relaxed energy. The staff were also very attentive and quick to clear plates/check in. That said, the food didn't really live up to the hype for me. I tried the double smash burger and the chopped cheese sandwich. As someone who really loves smash burgers, I was surprised by how bland the double smash burger was. The fries were easily the best part of the meal for me. Crispy, not greasy, and battered style fries. I wouldn't get them "animal style" again though; the creamy sauce felt like overkill. The chopped cheese also wasn't my favorite... it was pretty soggy and felt like there wasn't enough filling to balance the bread. I also noticed the inside of the restaurant felt a bit unclean in areas, especially around the soda fountain and ketchup stations. Overall, I'm glad I checked it out once for the experience and aesthetics, but I wouldn't go back specifically for the food.

    Really good solid burgers and shakes. Note that they can definitely be busy and crowded but they move pretty fast. The space inside is pretty small so seating is limited, but it seems like people are in and out at different times so you could find a spot.

    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.

    Good smash burger! The patty was crispy yet flavorful. I also liked how it was pretty simple. Reminded me almost of just a classic smash burger. The ambiance is pretty nice, like an NYC bodega. Next time I would try their regular fries as the sauce made them a little soggy towards the middle.

    One of the best smashed burgers in town, by far! Fries are yummy as well. Some cool sauces to choose from! Milkshake is worth it as well! Will be back for sure!

    Smash Burger- Single...should've gotten a double or triple

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    No you have NON halal burgers for those who don't eat halal For religious reasons?

    No, Burger Bodega is a halal restaurant (and tastes amazing!). Fortunately, halal beef is still just beef, and it is regularly consumed by people of many (almost all) faiths, as well as those with no faith at all. Most dietary concerns about halal… 

    Is this a halal joint?

    Hello There, Yes we are 100% Zabihah Halal.

    Are you pet friendly?

    I saw a dog upstairs in the covered patio area, but didn't see any inside.

    Are they doing happy hour anymore?

    I don't believe they sell alcohol here. Not from when I first visited.

There is a soda fountain and water that is self serve. Definitely a place to hang out with friends/family and grab a quick bite to eat. loved the SWEET SOURDOUGH as the bun since it was slightly sweet and had a nice squishy like chew. The sourdough element really gives it that tug that I love in bread. the patties are thin, lacy, and smashed. Nicely salty and seasoned. for the sauce I would recommend the SCALLION AIOLI since it was warming and garlicy adding a really nice punch of flavor. the SWEET POTATO FRIES were a delicious side (crisp, piping hot, tasty). Overall I have not much to knock burgerchan on - besides their lack of lettuce wraps as an option haha but they do offer your burger on a bed of lettuce. they also have super fun unique milkshakes like vietnamese coffee, black sesame, etc (I'd try that next time). lots of sides and protein patty options in case you don't eat beef. they also have chicken, turkey, and falafel.

Parking was easy enough, and it looks like they labeled the parking barriers with names of the family's kids. I ran into some of the owners as I waited for my order. They were decorating the back patio, and they have the kids up on the walls too. I walked in to make an order, And left 15 minutes later with everything I needed. I ordered the Montecito, a very tasty chicken sandwich. The chicken was moist, and well flavored. I also upgraded the fries. My friends also liked their orders, a different chicken sammich and a vegetarian burrito.
