    Place has a cool vibe intitally, you stand in line and while you're in line you get a paper and a paper clip and select all the items you'd like. They'll give you a buzzer after you go to the cashier/pay/order and you wait til your buzzer rings and bam you grab your food. I really really really wanted to LOVE this place, but in all honesty it was just okay. I think we spent a little over $20 for 1 burger, side, and refillable soda. Burger was just ok. The camarlized onions were good, but it wasn't anything I'd go out of my way to this side of town for. Tater tots were the highlight. Good kick (got spicy) and very crispy. I did try my friends side which were waffle fries, regular fries, and cheese curds and definitely the tater tots were the best. All other sides you couldn't honestly skip cause to me they weren't good at all. Soggy even. On the wall they have a daily puzzle which says you can get a prize. You had to solve the math problem and show your work. My husband was excited since he enjoys math, did it, showed the cashier and they looked so annoyed (maybe cause they were busy) and the prize is just this little candy. It was pretty disappointing. Overall I didn't enjoy my experience.

    I Love this place, they make delicious burgers and have a super customizable menu for all the people that go to in n out and customize everything on their burger. It can definitely be overwhelming but I def recommend getting the brioche w/ 2x2oz patties w pepper jack (it's the perfect ratio of bun, cheese, and meat in my opinion) with your choice of toppings you literally cannot go wrong. Side note, their regular fries are better than the curly fries

    Checked out Burger Chan for the first time, and it was such a fun experience! This is a true build-your-own burger spot, and you get to customize everything--from the bun all the way down to the sauces. My favorite part was definitely the toppings and sauce options. They have an Asian twist that really sets them apart from your typical burger joint and makes the whole menu feel creative and unique. We also tried a couple of fry options--both the sweet potato fries and the regular fries were hits. Crispy, flavorful, and perfect sides to the burgers. Overall, this is a super fun spot with quality food and tons of customization. There is a good amount of seating and it is family friendly. Their service was relatively quick as well. If you're into building your perfect burger or just want something a little different, Burger Chan is definitely worth a visit!

    A great burger joint in a very unassuming plaza in the heart of Galleria! Im not a huge burger person but wow these burgers blew me away When you first enter, theres a wall of clipboard that you can use to customized your buger. I personally got 2 smash patties with the sourdough bun. Ive never had a burger with sourdough buns before and I really like that it has a chew to it The burger itself was super juicy and flavorful and they have a variety of sauces that you can add to your burger. I went with the sambal mayo and it was a good spice level Highly recommend! This has been one of my favorite burgers

    I didn't know a fast food like burgers can be so fast casual yet so creative! It suggests in their name "Chan" like a cuteness and playful tone it's very catchy when you say out loud. Upon entering, you get greeted by the staffs, and there is a wall of clipboards which you will actually customize your burger! They offer beef, chicken, hot dog, fish, and falafel. Fish was all sold out when I got there around Saturday evening so it must be so popular there. I would have to go back to try that. It's a unique fun experience to build your own dream burger, and with their high quality fresh grounded patties and variety of house made sauces, my burger turned out just exactly how I wanted. Also the size of my burger is huge! I would highly recommend the scallion aioli, it's creamier and more flavor than original ranch, because it has a slight tang kick, I ordered on the side so I can dip my fries in it too. I also tried the sambal mayo, it's not spicy at all, would taste better than normal mayo on the burger in my opinion. They also have a variety of sides, I got the curly fries and sweet potato fries, the classics, so crunchy.

    Fantastic little restaurant where whatever you order will probably be good. For me, I love the sourdough bun, Swiss cheeseburger with kimchi soy sauce glaze and a fried egg. This is probably my favorite burger in Houston now, and I've returned for the exact same burger, and it was just as good. Fries are good too! Staff are friendly, and there's a great selection of indoor and outdoor seating. What a good burger joint!

    Burgers are big.. biggest ones out of the places I've been lately. U have to e options of a sourdough bun or a brioche bun. I spent about $17 for my burger and fries. You will pay extra for toppings like cheese, bacon, avocado etc. Nice burger and if I'm around the way comeback.

    I was super excited to try the much-hyped burger-chan, especially as a smashburger lover! The customizable menu and super fast service made the experience streamlined and easy. They also had chicken burgers, hot dogs, and fish as other meal options. I did the smaller patty option, which once smashed is quite literally paper-thin; I'd definitely recommend getting a double if this is your preference. Even with the double, the beef patties weren't very noticeable, but as someone who doesn't like burgers as much this was okay with me. The sweet sourdough bread was delicious, it definitely had a soft sweet note to it! For toppings I did pepper jack cheese, sautéed mushrooms (extra, but sooo worth it), lettuce, tomatoes, onion, pickled jalapeño (some are super spicy so be careful!!), and shallot aioli (amazing, definitely elevated the burger). The amount of topping options is insane! However, the burger all together, while delicious, didn't quite wow me. The flavors weren't quite as impressive as I'd imagined for all the hype I've heard. That was the only factor that kept it from five stars. The interior is decorated with anime style art of restaurants and burger characters, which made it a fun atmosphere! I love the Asian influence on the place. Ultimately I'd definitely come back, I enjoyed it!

    4.4/5. Came in on a late Friday evening with a couple coworkers. The ordering system is easy with clipboards on the walls and QR codes for instructions. I got a 2x2oz patty burger with the scallion aioli and sweet sourdough and the curly fries, spam-chi style. I also got a black sesame milkshake, for a total of about $25. The biggest complaint was that the restaurant was cloyingly hot and humid, almost equivalent to temperature to the Houston summer outside. The burger is absolutely delicious. Juicy, tender, great flavor. The sweet sourdough is thick but compliments the burger well. The sauce is a unique taste. The curly fries are crispy and the spam and kimchi on top add a nice mix of spice and salt. The black sesame milkshake was not bad. It starts initially bland and then the black sesame flavor starts to become more prominent as you drink it, until it becomes nearly overpowering by the time you finish it. Not my favorite but I would definitely love to try their other milkshakes. Definitely a great burger place and I can see why it makes the top of the burger list. Definitely will need to try it again the next time I'm craving a burger!

    After hearing so much hype about Burger-chan, I finally got a chance to give it a try! The line was out the door around 1:30 pm on a Saturday. We waited a little over 30 minutes to order, and another 10-15 minutes for our food. The line moves efficiently. You fill out a color-coded clipboard based on what item you want to order (burger, hot dog, fish, etc). Then you can customize your burger as you wish! I got a double 2 oz burger with sourdough buns. Added on sautéed mushrooms and onion strings (essentially fried onion - looking back I would have gotten sautéed onions instead) for $1 each. I also got scallion aioli (on the bun) and sambal mayo (on the side for an extra 50 cents). The rest of the toppings were free! The burger was certainly delicious but not life changing. I was hoping to like it more than I did. I found it to be dry and a little lacking in flavor, though that could be user error. I wouldn't wait 45 minutes for it again, but I would definitely give it another shot on a less busy day. I also don't recommend the drinks - I normally love black sesame but the smoothie left a strange aftertaste.

    Visited Burger-Chan for the first time recently and was extremely impressed with the experience. I had 1 5 ounce burger on the brioche bun. The flavor profile was nearly perfect. The crispness of the meat was a little over done for my liking but everything else came together very well. The size of curry fries with the aïoli sauce is made for a nice pairing as suggested by the staff. Another employee recommended the house made lemonade stating, "best in the city", and I can confidently say that's an accurate statement. The Vietnamese coffee shake packs quite a punch. It's for the strongest of coffee lovers and I'm a fan. The ambience is clean and casual as this restaurant is more of a lunch spot but they execute that business model with passion and confidence.

    The name 'burger-chan' alone was enough to make me want to visit it. My friend and I came on a Sunday afternoon, and to my surprise, it wasn't as busy as I expected, but parking and seating would be a hassle during busier hours. There is a list of specially-made burgers, but you can customize what you want with the clipboards found at the front! Personally, I chose to order a burger with one 2-oz patty, but truthfully... I should've gotten two patties because it was NOT filling at all. Nonetheless, the quality of their ingredients was evident; the meat was leagues better than what you can find at a fast-food chain due to its crispy edges, and although it's thinner, the flavor was not sacrificed. I especially enjoyed how they prepared their bacon and the addition of sautéed onions; their unique Sambal Mayo and Scallion Aioli were also incredible! The abundance of options made me feel a bit glutinous that day, so I ordered the curly fries, which were AMAZING. I'm still thinking about them, and they pair well with the Scallion Aioli (which I requested on the side). It was crispy on the outside, soft and warm on the inside- just how I like it. Unfortunately, I couldn't give my meal a full 5 stars. This has nothing to do with the quality but is more of a preference. I regret ordering the kimchi relish and found that the kimchi did overpower my burger a bit, so I felt like I couldn't enjoy the other flavors. Also, I'm not sure if it made my burger a bit soggy, but upon receiving my order, the bottom bun already felt a bit cold, and there was a mushy texture after a while; though, it could also be because of how the burger was prepared that day. It's definitely on the pricier end, but it's worth it! Burger-chan's attention to quirky details in various aspects is noteworthy, and I'm super excited to return to try their other combos. :D

    The food was ok! Nothing spectacular. It reminds me of any other burger/sandwich shop with the taste. Now the experience is a little different. They allow for you to fill out these order sheets for your order. However when you get to the counter you are still telling them you order so I don't understand the papers. You were given a token for your drink and have to go to the end of the counter to turn in the token and receive your drink. The place was very bright. I don't like eating in dark places. They had coloring sheets and different games which was nice for the kids. I just think the price was a little too high for the taste of the food.

I went with the Double Good Burger at Johnny Good Burger, and honestly... it was surprisingly good. Perfectly smashed patties with those crispy edges, juicy inside, and well-balanced flavors that didn't feel overcomplicated. Sometimes simple just works--and this definitely did. The fries deserve their own shoutout: extra crispy, hot, and downright addictive. No soggy sadness here. I kept telling myself "just one more" until the tray was mysteriously empty. All in all, a very satisfying burger experience. If you're in the mood for a legit smash burger and happen to be wandering POST Houston, this one's absolutely worth stopping for.

There were no other customers at the time, but that's to be expected for a slow Monday. The menu is quite simple with just 4 different entrees, 3 different ways to order fries, and a few soft drink options in a cold case. Everything here is a la carte but there is a combo option where you can save about $3 off the regular menu pricing. I chose the "Double Good" and added a patty for $3 more figuring the patties are most likely very thin. The burger comes with lettuce, onion tomato, pickles and special sauce. I subbed the American for Swiss, but the Swiss ended up being a Swiss-American blend, so it tasted mostly like American cheese which I hate. I keep having bad luck with Swiss lately. The patty is about 1/4 lb and tastes similar to a home cooked burger. I ended up setting the burger down and just eating the patty with a fork since I didn't like the taste of the cheese, sauce, or the entire burger as a whole after a handful of bites. Overall, I'm glad I finally tried it but this is not a burger I would come back for, especially at this price point.

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
