We ordered the Philly cheesesteak sandwich, gyro wrap, chicken shawarma wrap, and lamb Lamb kebab wrap. They have the best halal Philly cheesesteaks in town. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. The restaurant is clean and spacious and the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Add Busy Boy on your must visit list for halal sandwiches. read more

Food is just ok. Average- nothing to brag about. I hate that I get charged $13+ in service charges if i want to preorder via the app for pickup. That is highway robbery. Not going back of this. read more

Food taste great! My favorite is Philly cheese steak sandwich. Service is perfect. I usually don't like to order when they are about to close. I called them 30 mins before they close to place my order. Gentleman on the phone was very polite and welcoming. Place is very clean as well always. read more

The Kunafa Crepe is by far one of my new favorite desserts! We walked in to get a quick bite to eat! The menu is huge and legit has anything you can image on it. The dessert waffles on display caught my attention. As I pointed them out to my wife a male employee or owner pointed out a plate and said, "try the kunafa, it's a Turkish dessert. You must try the kunafa crepe. It's mind blowing." So without hesitation we ordered the kunafa crepe and a lamb gyro! When the crepe came out be explained that the kunafa has cheese on the inside and it covered in a crispy crust drizzled with honey. Then wrapped in a crepe which is drizzled with white chocolate and pistachios! I took one bite of the crepe and knew I would be back soon to get another!! The crepe is perfectly cooked and the crispy cheese filled inside is so light and perfect! Mind blowing was a description of this dessert. It was hard for me to start eating my gyro until I took the first bite which solidified my rerun back to this restaurant! Everything we ate was delicious and the service was too notch! Don't sleep on Busy Boy at all. You will be missing out read more

Every part of the philly sandwich tasted fresh and delicious! The portion was also pretty big so I had it for lunch and dinner :) I also tried their crispy chicken sandwich which was also delicious and not like your average crispy chicken sandwiches. I would highly recommend asking for some sides of their garlic sauce and especially trying it with their fries read more

Amazing and flavorful food, service was so kind and friendly, and lots of seating for people to enjoy in a clean cafe environment. The cheesesteak is delicious and the sauces go so well with the flavors! The chicken shawarma was soft and juicy. A must visit when in Houston, especially if you are shopping in the Hillcroft area! read more

I'm usually not in the is part of town, but I always try to get some good Middle Eastern or Indian food since there are so many great options over here. Busy Boy popped up in my Yelp app and had great reviews. The ambiance is sparse, it has the charm of a McDonalds from the 1980s. Strike one right out of the gate: Pepsi products and most of two of them were out. Ice tea was not brewed; it was the one that tastes straight up like chemicals that comes out of the machine. I went with the shawarma wrap combo. Fries were okay, but over seasoned. The shawarma had a decent amount of meat, but had a fishy taste to it. This was definitely a waste of a shawarma in this part of town since there are always so many great options over there. If you insist on coming here, the guy at the next table ordered the shawarma platter and looked way better. Will I go back? Not highly likely, gonna try one of the other highly rated or friend recommended ones this side of town. After 13 years of using Yelp, it failed me only for the third time. read more

Busy Boy - Chicken Shawarma Wrap (Combo) $14.07 - Sandwiches Near Me - Houston, Texas

Thanks to Vinh's reminder on the timing of my visit to Busy Boy Grill and Cafe. I was here during Ramadan in a Saturday's early afternoon. Don't laugh. I have never had Shawarma in my life. Count my blessings to try this Middle Eastern food for the first time. Many people already have their own favorite shawarma restaurants. I'm really a rookie when I saw the big chunk of meat on the vertical turning rotisserie oven. In Mexico, this rotisserie meat cooking method is called al pastor. But at Busy Boy... Someone please tell me the difference between gyro and shawarma. Because I was hungry. A line employee couldn't answer my question. So, I waited for the cashier. Not sure if I pronounced gyro right. But he said gyro is the meat from the kitchen while shawarma meat is from the vertical turning oven in the front. Sounds good. Time to eat. So, I ordered a shawarma wrap with both beef and chicken. He upgraded my order to meal deal for $3.50 more. I got a bottomless drink and a potato salad. Meat was tender but a little salty for my taste bud. The wrap and veggies were fresh. I had no more room for salad at that point. I really wanted to try the ice cream next door, or just across the hall. But it appeared to be closed. The best part was the clean restaurant and flexible seating. Looks like I could have a party here. read more

Okay the food was good. Had a regular gyro and side of fries with a sprite . Food Was easy to order online and received notification when ready. My issue.... The service I walked in for the first time and didn't know where to go As there are two side. I walked to the nearest worker who was bust behind the desk texting away and all he did was point to a lady no words just point. The lady was very helpful but the man was just texting the entire time . Mind you there was a stack of dirty plates on a table and instead of clearing that he was texting. I hope the manager gets that man together read more

Excellent! Friendly staff great food- plenty of options. I wanted to order everything but too full after the I ordered to gyro plate . Deliciousness! Will be coming again definitely! Even the hot tea w mint was excellent! read more

The food options are great. The kids loved the smores waffles and the gyro salad was ok. My only complaint is that the gyro meat was overcooked and crunchy in spots. The shakes were great and the service was good. The restaurant was very clean. They are not really setup for large parties, without putting tables together, but the seating is ample for parties of 4 or less. read more

Stopped in for a quick bite. Service was fast and friendly. I plan to return in order to explore more of their very many interesting menu items. read more

You've got to try the crispy chicken sandwich. This is the best chicken sandwich in Houston. The sauce is soooo good and the chicken is crispy On top of the food, the service is amazing. The owner once helped my sister and I on the phone while we were lost to get to the location and then made us new, hot sandwiches because we got lost. That sort of service does not come around often and we will keep coming back! read more

Authentic. Flavorful. Fast. Friendly service. Amazing menu variety & options + desserts. Visiting from out of town & went here based on reviews & proximity to our hotel. Was greeted by very friendly staff. Was offered recommendations of their favorites/best sellers, so tried their Philly cheesesteak as well as the crispy chicken sandwich (medium heat). Both were phenomenal. Quality ingredients are apparent here, and can definitely tell the entire menu would be a hit. Will definitely be back next time we're in the area. Plenty of seating on either side of the connected restaurants ... and we noticed families at every table smiling enjoying their food, coffees and desserts. Love to see a place thriving read more

My wife and I loved everything we tried. The mixed shawarma plate with beef and chicken was great, she picked Greek salad and taboli as her 2 sides, both tasty. I enjoyed and barely shared a kufta kabob wrap, I barely shared 'cause she had more than she could eat. We went back to the counter and scored a couple topnotch coffee drinks. She got and loved a dark chocolate frape with no whipped cream on top, I had to try the cheese cake milk shake, loved it. Mine was sweeter than hers and disappeared first, both were definitely worth getting again. Friendly counter service and great food....we'll be back. read more

One of the best cheesesteak sandwiches I've tried! Although it came with non traditional bread, it was really good!!! I also loved the sauce bar, with 4 sauces to try with your meal, all of which are awesome! The service was great, and inside the restaurant was pretty big with plenty of seats and crepe/waffles for dessert. Great spot for some late night dinner! Tip: you should definitely add ice cream to your waffle/crepe! read more

The food was okay, I had the chicken shawarma and the Philly cheesesteak. I would order the cheesesteak again for sure. The only thing that didn't make this a higher review is the price. The Philly meal (fries and drink) costs around $20 with tax. Food was fresh and fast, the service was great read more

Went inside and waited 15 mins and nobody was taking my order. Restaurant was practically empty too

The perfect spot for a casual lunch! Clean place, plenty of seating, great service, delicious food! I tried the crispy chicken wrap and my mom ordered the grilled chicken panini. Both were fresh and sooo good! I was so excited to try it, I almost forgot to take pics of the food! Everything is halal too. read more

I got a Shawarma Greek salad with mix of chicken and beef, and it was huge and very filling! I would say the chicken has more flavor than the beef. My mom got a kebab wrap which cost about $15 and didn't come with anything so I feel that was over priced. I would come back for the salad again. read more

Stumbled across this place by accident. To my surprise it was definitely no coincidence. I love great food and great service and I found those things plus more here.

Busy boy is a great sit down food that specializes in all types of food items such as Shwarma, sandwiches, burgers, wraps. I ordered the cheeseburger and the cost was reasonable for how big the sandwich was; however, the burger meat wasn't as juicy as that I'd hope for. Overall great prices and first experience. read more

I've been coming to busy buy for 10+ years and they're always consistent if not getting better! I usually stick to my top 3: Philly chicken sub, Philly beef sub, and crispy chicken sub. All 3 are so good every-time! You can't go wrong with any! Recently I've tried their wings and they have different flavors to choose from such as mango habanero and BBQ and both were so good! They also added a mint lemonade drink to their menu and I really enjoyed it. read more

All iteams on menue are yummy I have almost tried. But they give less sauce so you have to asked for extra sauce

Never disappointed with large portions of food. I don't visit as often as I d like but each visit is always like the first time. I tried the Spanish iced caramel latte and it was pure bliss Damn it boy this was recommended by the suave speaking gentleman cashier read more

I am not a huge Mediterranean food fan, seems Pretty bland most times I have eaten it. However the Busy Boy Sandwich shop is more than just a regular deli, it's a deli+ +. They have burgers, salads (awesome looking), sandwiches and desserts. I went against my gut and got their special the chicken Shawarma. They cut the chicken from the rotisserie and to my surprise it was flavorful, tender and juicy. They offered a few different sauces to put on, so I mixed their garlic sauce with their spicy sauce. It had a bite but offered fantastic flavor. I would have given them a five, it just wasn't as clean I as I would have hoped. read more

Yelp did not live up to the hype this time for us. We tried the Philly cheesesteak and the mushroom Swiss burger. Portions were good, but the flavor was lacking. Ice tea and lemonade were also mediocre. read more

the food is amazing.. and the crepe is OMG just heaven I would recommend the Nutella crepe with.. strawberries and banana and extra Nutella! This is the best crepe I could ever find ever since I moved I've been missing their food .. they also have this cool hand washing station! Right when you enter it's there it automatically washes your hands! And the service is good! I went here for a meeting and their servers were nice! Ambiance is decent .. I would recommend for food and crepes and good hospitality aswell. read more

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place already. It has been my go to since forever. Their jalapeño burger slaps!!!!!!!!!!! Slaps so hard it hurts. It hurts my heart. I have been coming here for the past 10 years and I have legit only had 2 things off the menu. But that's because they are always so delicious, and when I come back I always have to order the same thing. That being said those 2 items are the spicy Philly cheesesteak and the JALAPEÑO CHEESE BURGER. Both are a 10/10. The jalapeño burger has jalapeño peppers in the meat patty which gives it an extra kick. This burger is absolutely perfect. So juicy. And always hits the spot. Pair it with their fries and garlic sauce. Oh yeah, that's all you need in life to be honest. Their garlic sauce also slaps. It's always made fresh. And I'm crying writing this because it honestly makes me so happy thinking about it right now :') I'm always satisfied when leaving busy boy. Service is always always always a 10/10. I never have any complaints. They just recently built another dessert portion on the other side and expanded their entire restaurant which is great! They have chocolate crepes, ice cream, coffee, and so many other amazing options. I've had a crepe and their ice cream and put me into an instant food coma. I was very happy. Love this place. If you are ever in the Hilcroft area, check it out! read more

Quick and friendly service. Very glad to find a halal burger joint. Burgers are nice. The burger has a good size and it is juicy. Got a regular burger and it hit the spot- the bread was nice and toasted. Paired with the garlic sauce it was not bad. The downfall here were the fries. Very limp and soggy. Not good at all, I could not get myself to eat too many. Overall a nice spot for a burger, might come back to try the shawarma. read more

A few years back I used to frequent Busy Boy because I liked their crispy chicken sandwiches -- I had it on Friday because it had been awhile and that was definitely a mistake. Paid for stale fries and the driest most tasteless piece of chicken. No thank you read more

Love this place. Been here twice and I would be coming here more often if it wasn't out of the way for me. Can't go wrong with the shawarma and gyro here. Definitely try their garlic sauce they have by the fountain drink machine. Their hot sauce is spicy! Service is great. Everything is fresh and hot and tastes delicious. read more

WOW WOW WOW! This place is wonderful and delicious! I was in the area and just yelped any place with good ratings, so my boyfriend and I ended up here. We ordered a spicy chicken Philly cheese sandwich and It was DELICIOUS! Although the pictures make the sandwich look bigger than they appear (that's why my boyfriend and I only ordered one sandwich), we swallowed the sandwich in minutes! Once we were done, we decided that we couldn't leave without trying something else. I'm a lamb type of a girl so I asked if they can do a philly cheese lamb sandwich (not on the menu) for me and they said yes and accommodated to my wants! Boy, I can say that I was in shock and in denial about how TASTY that sandwich was. I have never heard or had a philly lamb cheese sandwich and that was one of the greatest sandwiches EVER. Also, they have a tray of sauces and every single sauce was soooooooooooooo gooood!!!!!!!!!! Please try this place and the workers there were so great and so nice to accommodate my complicated order. Thank you thank you!!! read more
