I've got to finally try eating at Burger-chan during their $5 Chan Burger special and it wasn't bad. I loved the crispy textures of the two smashed patties between the slice of cheese and the scallion sauce made it very interesting. Only issue was the beef was a bit over-seasoned and I could practically feel my kidney crying for more water. For the drink, I got myself a sticky toffee milkshake because they didn't have horchata. I thought it was a bit odd they didn't fill the whole cup, at least try to hide it a bit with more whipped cream, but at least it was a classic thick milkshake because who wants a watered down milk drink. Still, at these prices at least have a pretense of generosity! I was pretty disappointed they didn't have sidewinder fried either and they had curly fries instead. It was okay, not better than Arby's, and it should've definitely came with some sauce because ketchup doesn't seem to do curly fries justice with it being spiced. At least Arby's gives you a ton of various sauces and I don't even know of I like Arby's! Anyway, it's a cute concept and looking at the burger menu, they have some great food. Just need to polish up on the execution and actually have the items that they list on their menu (or mark it as unavailable for the day)!

Yo!! Burger Lovers!! Two words! Burger. Chan. This is such a cool spot for amazing smash burgers, drinks, and to catch up on the game! What makes this spot unique is the way you order your food. When entering you complete an "order form" for what you want and you are un control of listing out how you want the burger (or anything else) built! From your bun choice, to the number of burger patties, to what you want on it...amd don't forget your sides...Will that be tater tots? Fries? Or something else? They offer lots of options beyond just burgers. Thirsty? Burger Chan is offering more than sodas, but beer, wine and cocktails! Service is friendly, the restaurant is bright, colorful and fun. For my order, I went with a blueberry, strawberry lemon-drop...so good!! Perfectly made and a nice touch with my double patty burger and tater tots! Shout out to Cheryl who made our first time ar Burger Chan such a delight! She walked us through how to order and was such a sweetheart by checking in us at our table. Everything was delicious! Burger Chan is definitely high on my list of good burger spots. Plenty of parking, indoor and outdoor seating, full bar...good time! Worth the checkout! Enjoy!

Burger Chan opened their second location in the heights and it proves to be just as good as their first location. You have the choice to customize your burger/chicken/turkey/dog/falafel the way you want it or you can choose a signature burger. Since they're fairly new and building their team, expect some wait time and/or small errors. I believe they'll get things running smoothly soon. I customized my own burger - two 2oz. patties, pepper jack cheese, onion strings, lettuce, tomato on sweet sourdough. It was seasoned and made just right, not overcooked. I asked for scallion aioli and sambal mayo on the side so I could control the amount of sauce. Ordered sweet potato fries, however it was in the fryer too long. Did not quite enjoy eating burnt fries. I love black sesame and glad that they offer it as a shake flavor. They have a full bar and there is happy hour 3-6pm daily. Parking can be limited during peak times. There is street parking available if the lot is full. Will definitely return for their burgers. I'll have to try their other items sometime. Hoping that when I return, the wait time and service will have improved.

I'd heard so many great things about Burger-chan, so I was excited to finally try their new Heights location now that it's a little more convenient than the original Galleria spot. I ordered the signature Burger-chan to go after briefly considering the spicy burger, but was told you really can't go wrong with their classic. I'll be honest....I left a little disappointed. The burger was good, but the overall flavor profile just wasn't quite for me, and I found myself wishing there was a bit more beef. It almost felt like the focus was on all of the toppings and combinations rather than the burger itself. The restaurant had a great vibe, and the staff was friendly, so I can absolutely see why people enjoy it. I'm a little behind on my Yelp reviews, but I've now been to more than 14 burger spots around Houston, and while this was a solid burger, it doesn't crack the top of my personal list. That said, I'm definitely planning to come back and try a different burger because I think another combination might be a better fit for my tastes.

They have a bar inside and a patio to hang out at. It's on the corner where be more specific use to be. When you walk inside you go to the right and there will be some papers on a clipboard. Each paper has a different type of burger protein to customize. There was beef, chicken, falafel, turkey, and more. You could just order at the counter as well. The papers are probably to make it easier on the cashier when it's slammed. The menu only Shows a few speciality burgers on there. They also sell drinks and fries which it Shows on the little order papers but not on the overhead menu. I tried the spicy! It had Serrano peppers and jalapeños, if you like spicy and can handle the heat you won't be disappointed with the flavors from this. The other burger I tried was the burger Chan which is their original burger. I'd say this is more of a traditional burger that doesn't have any additional flavors. Just their simple original burger with thousand island dressing. It was a bit dry so I used their peri peri condiment and that was so spicy and flavorful. I just wanted to take some of this to go. The fries were basic nothing to rave about but also nothing to complain about. You just don't get a bunch of fries but it's a good portion for one person. They also had tater tots.

First time trying Burger-Chan in The Heights, and it definitely won't be our last! The burgers were absolutely delicious juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The fries were crispy, well-seasoned, and paired perfectly with the dipping sauce. We also loved that you can customize your burger exactly how you like it. The restaurant was spotless, the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and the staff was incredibly friendly from the moment we walked in. The service was fast, and everything came out fresh and hot. If you're looking for one of the best burgers in Houston, Burger-Chan is absolutely worth the visit. Highly recommend!

I love the concept of this restaurant! You get to customize your burger as soon as you walk in with your individual order form and clipboard. It makes ordering very easy as you can see what all the options are. The food came out and it was hot and delicious and their house made aïoli was bomb! I have a gluten allergy and I had a lettuce wrapped burger with sweet potato fries and I had no issues at all.

Burger Chan special

Burgerchan is now in the heights! We came for the burger special and it was yummy! Both my husband and I felt like it was a little on the greasier side and prefer just a smash burger with crispier edges but it was still overall good. We enjoyed the scallion aioli a lot. The curly fries were also great! We love that there is a riddle at burger Chan locations and you can get a little soft serve if you solve it :)

Burgers, hot dog, sweet potato fries, and tater tots
Carrie M.

Burger chan has a fun atmosphere but smells bad. I like how you order with marker and paper to customize your options. I opted for the larger beef patty, and I'm glad I chose that one. I thought the burger and hot dog were both good, although overpriced. I liked the sweet potato fries, while the tater tots had a strange-tasting spice on them. Their water from the machine has a strong chemical taste. They have a patio by the side of a busy road and a surprising number of drinks on their menu.

Burger and fries
Jordyn N.

One of the better burgers I have had in Houston by far! The smash burger was tasty and the sourdough bun was unique and added a lot to the burger. The fries were also delicious and crispy. Something I didn't expect to be wowed by was the drink! The yuzu margarita was strong and just the right amount of sweet.

The whiskey selection extensive and the staff actually knows how to guide you through it if you're not sure what you want. Vibe is more of a low lit, cozy, and feels a little upscale without being too pretentious.. Good spot for date night or just grabbing drinks with friends after a show. A solid cocktail spot to checkout

For a rooftop bar with such a great atmosphere, I was expecting a more creative drink menu with more options to choose from. And it was bar service only, no wait staff.

Extremely disrespectful and aggressive staff, with clueless security…read more My friends and I came to celebrate a birthday. From the moment we arrived, one employee was unnecessarily rude and confrontational toward my friend while checking IDs by saying "are you going to show me your ID or not?!" Later, she grabbed my friend by the arm and made comments like, " Are you ok? Are you sure? Yeah, because I don't play that." When we were leaving, the same employee confronted my friend again simply because my friend looked at her. My friend tried to walk away and get into the elevator, but the employee followed her inside and cornered her. Instead of removing the employee or de-escalating, security blocked the rest of us from entering the elevator while our friend was being confronted. The employee tried to claim that my friend was "trespassing" which made no sense because we were all leaving. We repeatedly explained that we were only trying to get our friend out of the situation, but security did nothing to help. The employee continued following my friend even after she left the elevator. Like I said, disrespectful, aggressive staff and security that seemed completely clueless about how to handle the situation.

To start out, the concept feels like a blend of accents from other popular bars in the area - the hammock chairs from Axelrad, the Adirondack chairs from Truck Yard, and the string light back patio from 8th Wonder. This blend makes it hard to give the bar a true identity. While they do have a large selection of beers on tap, their cocktail menu leaves me feeling lost. I appreciate the attempt to create unique flavor combinations but the options are just...confusing. For example, mezcal with citrus and prickly pear, or a highball with black currant, tequila and apricot. I'm holding on for dear life with all of these ingredients! Going along for the adventure, I tried their pickle cocktail that was on the menu and it was honestly, terrible. While they do have a happy hour that goes until 8pm, the service this last visit just wasn't the best. The server who helped me told me it was his second day and was clearly struggling to keep up with the cocktail combinations, referencing his phone many times while preparing the drink. I ended up not liking this drink and brought it back to the bar with just one sip gone and rather than offering to make me another drink, they kept it on my bill. Ok, whatever. That being said, just before this happened, the couple in front of me went to pay for their bill, prepared drinks in hand, at 8:02pm and the bartender refused to honor the happy hour prices, just two minutes past the official end time. With these two instances, it seems like the priority is maximizing every dollar of profit rather than investing in the customer experience. Given the number of other original concepts in the area, I would pass.
