Champ burger has been an Houston institution for many years. Near Downtown, the parking is pretty bad. Need to make sure you note the street signs. But it's definitely worth the journey. After trying a number of different burger spots it definitely wanted to come here again and make sure that it was living up to my previous experience. Just happened to get there at the right time there was nobody waiting and as soon as I placed my order and grabbed a seat, I turned around, and there was a line of approximately 20 people waiting to order. The seating is all alfresco. I ordered a steak sandwich with fries and a drink. The fried steak was tender and moist and the fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The service was friendly and helpful, answered all questions. read more

Champ Burger is an EaDo staple that I finally had the opportunity to check out for lunch. Coming on a Mon at 1230pm, this place was packed! Love seeing the lunch rush though because you know it's gonna be good. Ambiance wise, this place is very chill. No indoor area, just order at the counter, get 1 of their outdoor patio tables or take it to go. There was a line to order, but service was very fast. Burger wise, this place is just a well executed classic burger. Big, juicy, fresh toppings, honestly nothing to complain about. The onion rings were some of the best that I've had recently, and I ordered their "Texas size steak sandwich" to go as well for dinner, very filling. I'm so glad I finally took the time to try out this EaDo gem. I understand why they've been a Houston burger staple for so long now. I'll definitely be adding this place to the list in my burger rotation, enjoy! read more

I finally got the chance to Try this Houstonian establishedment while visiting the area for a work training. I visited during lunch rush, which it was pretty busy. I ordered a bacon cheese burger, fries along with a vanilla shake. I paid $20, for my meal. The burger was huge and they give you a good amount of fries. Service was great, Its a casual, walk up establishment, they do have available sitting outdoors if you choose to eat on site. My honest opinion, I had better burgers in my time. read more

Champ Burger - Burgers Near Me - Houston, Texas

I had heard about this place in an article so I decided to try it on my way Northwest from the League City area. First of all, the trains in that area of town blow. There were a ton of stops everywhere. Good news about Eado is that you can work around it if you're quick enough and don't get trapped. An entire train was completely stopped and I was not for that. Parking was easy and you can pull up right in front. Loved the couple who took our order then gave it to us. Ate the fries on my way home and they were hot, crispy, potato-ey and appropriately salted. The burger reminded me of a Whataburger BUT the meat was thicker, tastier, and overall more delicious. Proud to support a local business and we will be back. They have benches outside you can eat at the order came out fast, but also fresh. read more

I've had this on my "try" list for some years -I always find myself just outside of business hours whenever I'm in the neighborhood. I lucked out last week and made it over just around 10:30. I learned that they served breakfast but I was in the mood for a burger. Here's what you need to know- they take orders in advance. I mention that because there was a steady stream of customers that had already placed orders or were there in person before I arrived that morning. This place is popular. To do it right, I should have ordered a milkshake to go along with the lunch special of a burger and fries, but I wanted to keep it simple because it was so early and I don't usually start my morning off with heavy food. I ordered a burger "all the way" (mustard + mayo, onions) and then added cheese and jalapeños. From my first bite I felt like this is what local Whataburger would taste like. By that I mean, the crispness of the lettuce and onions accompanying you in every bite was incredible. The condiments were not too heavy -because I like mayo, I probably would have asked for a little extra. The burger itself wasn't heavily seasoned which I was okay with but it did have a few pieces of gristle which gave me a panic attack almost every time I bit into one because of my dental work. One of the things I smelled immediately upon getting my classic white paper bag was the scent of the fries. I could feel the warmth through the bag and couldn't wait to get to them. I wish they'd lived up tot my expectations. I felt like they could have used more seasoning and some didn't feel fully cooked to the perfect softness that can be achieved. But I had enough nibbles to be satisfied. If I were to go back I'd prioritize the child cheese fries and a milkshake. Chances are high I will go back. Staff was really nice and they work quickly given all the orders coming in. read more

This place is an EaDo gem and I appreciate the random person that put me on. The lunch spot for champions. The special is more than enough and the fries are a top tier and can't wait to try the onion rings next time. The burger is great and they make small accommodations but no subs. The staff is definitely the family and are so sweet and the service is swift and you can tell they know they have a good thing and no changes need to be made. I love the benches near the window and the back patio is nice with the fans and garden seating. Alrhough the parking is street there is no shortage and the wait feels none existent . read more

You guys! I have been in Houston for a number of years and had not know of CHAMP Burger. However, I visited the location in East Houston last week. This place will be on my weekly restaurant visits, the burger and onion rings are EXCELLENT, no kidding. And, the staff at the window are awesome. Love local businesses that are just pure awesome! read more

Life long Houstonian, first time visiting Champ Burger. Everything was full of flavor. Nice size bun and patty, plenty of veggies. Fries were seasoned to perfection, they were large enough that two people could share if they wanted. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger, fries and a drink, cost $17. The portion size was more than enough. Overall, 4 out of 5 star rating. There is no dine in seating, only patio seating. No official parking lot, just busy street parking. I would definitely return again if I am craving a tasty burger and fries when I'm in the area. I can see why now how people consider this place a Houston burger icon. read more

The steak burger as well as the champ burger will make you wonder which one will I get this time? The food is delicious.

The service is so good The owners are so nice and quick The food is great Nice juicy hamburger and fries and their prices are so reasonable Beware - parking is awful cause you park on the street and they are always full. It's really worth it read more

Ordered the double bacon cheeseburger, chicken fried steak sandwich, onion rings, chili cheese fries. The burger and sandwich were huge. The chicken fried steak sandwich was mine, it just tasted like a regular burger. Was hoping for gravy with the chicken fried steak but that's not how it's served. Taste wise it was ok. Bf had the double bacon cheeseburger and he loved it. Onion rings were nice and crisp. Chili cheese fries were the best with ooey gooey cheese melted on top. Overall it was an ok experience. If you get here early in the day (before noon) the line isn't too bad, otherwise expect a long line. read more

Hear me out! This burger spot is top tier. There needs to be 10 stars available to rate this place because they delivered a quality burger and it was stacked! As an LA native home of the best burger joints on the west coast. Argue with your mama not me! Champ Burger takes the lead of the closest thing to home. The burger was juicy, flavorful, and loaded. I got the champ burger with cheese, bacon, grilled onions, jalapeños, tomatoes and lettuce. No need for a double patty, this is not your in n out size burger the one patty will do just fine. I thought my cousin was exaggerating after the first bite until I tried mine and she wasn't. It was the real deal! All I'm going to say is if you are in second ward stop by and give champ burger a try. Not only is their food good but the prices are great, give good portions and the staff are nice. This is a burger stand vibe so whether you want to eat in the outdoor seating area or take your meal home the Champ Burger team got you! See for yourself and support this business! read more

This spot had been on my list for a while now. I waited so long that the anticipation really built up. Once I finally tried it, I was not disappointed. I had the chicken fried steak sandwich and a side of onion rings. The sandwich was good 3.5/5, not great. The onion rings were great 5/5. I went at about 2:30 pm, there was a line, not long, but longer than I expected for the time of day. I will definitely try a burger the next time I stop by, definitely recommend. read more

I just ate their chili cheese hotdogs and they are the best with fries and a Dr Pepper. Chris and Maria are the greatest. The whole staff is awesome. The chef is the best and always smiling. One of my favorite places to eat Houston. But everything in the menu is so delicious and made to order fresh read more

Amazing food and amazing people.. highly suggest this place... also learned they are open every 2nd Saturday

One of my favorite burgers in Houston, plus an outstanding fish sandwich. No inddoor seating, there is a pleasant patio. Super friendly people. A neighborhood treasure. read more

Go to this place! Worth every mile and bite once you taste anything off the menu. Highly recommend.

This was a really good burger. I had a cheeseburger with bacon and jalapeño. Made to order. All toppings, bread and meat were really fresh. I didn't have to wait long I visited on a Friday probably after the lunch rush. They are not open on the weekends. It seems like it's the same staff so that's understandable. Breaks are needed for greatness. They have outdoor seating only with umbrellas. You can order from a pick up window or by calling it in. I guess this is beneficial if it's particularly busy. It was not when I went. It's a burger that definitely needs to be tried. read more

Love the service and kinda took me back in time ordering outside and eating outside on the benches! Me and my wife will be back!!

No gimmicks. Just great burgers. This is a staple on the East side and for good reason. I feel like I want to gatekeep but cant. Nothing fancy at all but damn delicious. Order at the window and they call you when it's ready. There's some seating that is covered but if it's busy you might be standing for a bit. I thought the burger had a great char to it and was perfectly seasoned and cooked to a medium with a bit of pink in the middle. The fixings were good as well with a healthy chunk of tomato. Fries are good. They give you a LOT of them, so I'd recommend sharing. read more

It's been a good minute since of eaten here, but I remember the hamburgers were top notch!

This burger seasoned fries, a lot of food, reasonable price worth all that's paid for will be back again

Hole in the wall Houston classic on the East Side. Parking is a bit limited to the streets around it. Clearly still surviving gentrification, it's got a nice spot and an outside seating area with shade. It's a fast food concept; place your order, pick it up, and eat. Got their famous Texas sandwich (chicken fried steak patty) and a jalapeño cheeseburger. Both were alright; food quality kind of reminded me of a Whataburger mixed with a chicken fried steak at your middle school. It definitely fills you up but it's probably a decent pick for the area that's filled with overpriced millennial friendly options. read more

Champ Burger - Cheese burger, chili dog and fried steak sandwich - Burgers Near Me - Houston, Texas

Champ Burger is a gem of an establishment in 2nd Ward that you should definitely visit! The employees are so nice and the burgers have a delicious classic taste that will keep you coming back. They're open for breakfast and lunch on weekdays and sometimes open on weekends every once in a while. The restaurant is counter service with outdoor seating, it's a great option for a nice weather day. There is a good lunch rush every day but the line goes quickly, the staff have their operation down to a science. If you want to cut down on the wait you can order ahead and skip the line, but the food comes out pretty quickly. different burger orders and the steak sandwich so far read more
