Great burger place. Made fresh at window or can call in advance. Nice sitting area outside, but a little hot during summer.

consistently flawless service and food. the burgers are thin, flavorful, and overflowing with perfectly crisp bacon. my boyfriend and i can typically share a bacon cheeseburger and a side of fries and leave feeling sated, but not too full. read more

This place is awesome!!!! The burgers are huge. The bacon burger is amazing. Crip and tons of bacon. Great onion ring. The shakes are wonderful. I could eat at this place everyday. read more

I have been going to Champ Burger as a kid. Mike the owner used to provide us with hot coco in the early, cold mornings while we waited for the school bus. I worked at The Houston Chronicle for 30 years. We would order at least 3 times a week. The best chicken fried steak sandwich in Texas.You better have a big appetite. The meat is a 1/4" bigger than the bun. The taste is the bomb, Order an ice cold sweet original root beer. I would say to people," if you don't like the steak sandwich, I would pay for the whole meal." Never had to pay. And the shakes? Don't get me started. GOD BLESS CHAMP BURGER. Oh, and Chris, son and now owner, He has kept up with high standards and tradition.. For breakfast, order the burger with egg and cheese sandwich on a bun. Shh...not on menu. read more

I have circled this place many times and it has been on my list of places to try. Every time I have come by it has been incredibly busy and parking is hard to find so I just drive away and say next time. Most places would offer valet but Champ Burger is in a league of its own. I devised a plan to ensure that I would snag a spot, I didn't take my lunch at 12 like most, no sir! I waited until 2pm! By this time I was so hungry that I could not wait to get my hands on this juicy burger. It is in an interesting location and just the walk from my car to the place I found myself greeting a cholo and some hipsters! All with one mission in mind, the champ burger. I walked up to the counter and ordered the champ burger, onion rings and a drink. The gentleman taking my order was very polite, fast, and efficient. My order was out within 10 min. This was a to go order so I immediately began eating the fries. I had to keep myself busy and still had about 2 min. to make it back to my destination. What I really love about the onion rings was the batter and the fact that they were small enough for me to pop the whole thing into my mouth. I did not want to be driving and battling with an onion ring that falls apart as soon as you bite into it. These were some of the best onion rings I have tasted! The burger itself was a great burger, but still not good enough to knock down my #1 burger that is housed in Stafford, TX! This burger had all the right trimmings. The meat was thick and juicy and overall good. It is definitely a great choice but I just ....for me its not the best I have had! read more

See all

Decent. Ordered for the office and 3 of the 4 people got Chicken Fried Steak sandwich. Every one of them said it was just okay and sort of bland tasting. We were all excited to try it but won't be back. Service was great though and they do accept credit cards. Check out Sparkles Burgers in the same area instead read more

Nice outdoor eating area, but my burger was generic. Whataburger is better.

Pretty simple spot. Order ahead, pick up at the window. Service is always friendly & food is always real good especially the chicken baskets. I come here for lunch since I work in the second ward and I have never been disappointed. Only thing I don't like is the hours since I can't come on the weekend, but it is what its right. Will be back soon ! read more

You can't fuck with champs. They make a mean burger for an affordable price. If you're in the area don't think twice about checking this amazing place out. read more

I have used Champ burger for quite a few years, I have always found the food to be top notch, the burger is probably the best burger in Houston, and the breakfast sandwiches are not to be sniffed at either. At lunchtime this place is always busy, so that just goes to tell you how good it is, and you have to get in early. read more

If you and looking for home style burgers, Champs is the place to be. Never disappoints, big, beefy and full of flavor. They don't just make burgers though. They also have chicken sandwiches and salad. I don't either one of those so I can't say if they're good or not. But if their burgers are an indication of how their salad and chicken sandwiches taste, then they will not disappoint. So if you're feeling famished and not sure what to eat. I would definitely check out Champ Burger. read more

I could have given this five***** even with outdoor only seating at noon on a 99* day. Great burger ( good meat) nice people to take orders. Would be great to take the train from town to get a burger and see what's going on in the neighborhood read more

A hole in the wall burger joint that is pretty great. The staff is friendly and they get your food out on time. No long lines or a wait at all. The burgers are pretty big too! Great price and definitely worth going to especially if in the area. There is only outdoor seating too, so it isn't a normal sit down restaurant. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and will definitely come back. read more

This is a drive up window in a non descript part of now over hyped east end revitalized. Yet, the businesses and warehouse employees around here have been coming for lunch for years. Small outdoor seating area makes it easy to sit down and eat if you are hungry. Burgers and Fries are delicious. read more

Why go anywhere else?! The Golden Arches could take a lesson from this place. The breakfast sandwich will knock you down.

Burger is good I just didn't like that the bun was soggy. 12 dollars for a double meat meal was a little high in my option. Good customer service and cool outdoor patio read more

Best burger I've had in a long time! It was really large for the price! Perfect crunch from the lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles. The onion rings were amazing too. I'm so happy my boyfriend and I stumbled upon this place! Thanks, Yelp! read more

Good big burgers and cheap! Ordered mine with bacon and they didn't play with the amount of bacon! Lol

I have tried most of the Houston burger joints and this is still one of the best burgers in Houston, gotta get bacon on it tho. Shakes are excellent. The fish and chicken sadwiches are pretty good as well. Im a fan of very traditional breakfast tacos but these are very good. fast and friendly service, owner is always there. read more

Super overrated! Just don't get the hype burgers are thin lack flavor but they do have big buns,so if meat doesn't matter then this place will work. I won't be back it's just plain jane read more

Very good burger, you can tell all the ingredients are fresh. Doesn't take long for the food to be prepared but you can call in if your in a hurry. read more

Their burgers are awesome, thick, and juicy. It is an outdoor area like a concession stand and is great for taking to go. These burgers are not small. The service is fast and the prices are decent. This is a good place to go when the weather is nice because you wait outside. They have pink lemonade for drink selections. read more

Finally checked this place out and found a line waiting at 11am. Ordered the lunch special, burger with cheese, fries and soda added jalapenos and it came in around $9 total, not bad. the fries are your typically frozen goldens, nothing special and not crisp. The burger was solid, good char and fresh toppings so no complainants. for the price its OK, I'll give it another shot but likely skip the fries next time and throw some bacon on there for good measure. read more

Food is great, don't mind the line, they move FAST. Ordered my food and drink, found out after the fact that they had a "larger" drink option. Upon asking if I could upgrade to a larger drink and pay the difference, I was told not to worry about the difference. Guys I get it's .54 cents, but the customer service here goes so much further than that. Live this place. read more

Awesome burgers! I would recommend that they have menus available for people standing in line before they get to the window. That was the only bad things for me, was I did not see where the menus were until I was at the window and the line was long I felt pressured to make a quick decision. read more

Excellent place for great home made burger, fries, onion rings and shakes. Cheap prices. Only reason I can not give it 5 stars is because it's not open on Saturday. read more

Delicious! Bacon burger was CHOCK FULL of bacon. For the price is was a really great deal. Service was quick and friendly, too.

This is a simple outdoor burger joint. The burger is good, but not mind-blowing. Overall it's better tasting and better ambiance than Sparkle Burger. There is only outdoor seating, so come on a nice day, or call ahead and pick it up. read more

Burger. Fries. Shake. An American Classic and Champ Burger does it the best! I like to mix my shake chocolate and vanilla or chocolate and strawberry. They accept credit cards now too! read more

This is one of the best burgers in town. Amazing. Thick. Juicy. The wait is usually long but if you order on the phone first it won't take as long. It's easy to find and worth it. I'll definitely be coming back considering I loooooove burgers. read more

The best burgers in town. Love this place. Very friendly staff and they will more than likely remember your face and name. Many people from all around the city crave this place. read more

The burgers are excellent and have that homemade flavor but the double decker breakfast sandwich is what keeps bringing me back.

Oh man this place is great! One of the best hole in the wall burger joints in town!!! The burgers are massive with just the right amount of grease. Fries and O-rings are fresh made daily! Try the BLT, it is freaking amazing!!! Note, that they only accept cash...no cards! read more

This is what a burger is suppose to be. Simple. It reminds me of what McDonald's burgers might taste like before it was a chain restaurant. You can taste every layer of the veggies. It is not even that greasy. The beer battered onion rings are the BEST! My boyfriend and I had a steak sandwich, cheeseburger, and shared onion rings for $10. It has a really nice outdoor seating area. It is perfect for during October's cool weather. read more

I love Champ Burger and in my opinion, they have one of the best burgers in town. I used to go to Champ Burger for lunch when I was a student at U of H. Their burgers are made fresh while you wait. It's some times hard to find a parking if you are there in the middle of the lunch rush, but this burger place is worth a stop! read more

Don't see what's all the hype about. I got a burger and it tases pretty plain .I can make a better Burger in my barbecue pit.sorry Went once and ill never go back read more

Champ's serves a champion burger for sure! My husband and I drive across town, probably once a week or so, to have our favorite burger at Champ's. Chris and his staff never fail to give excellent service, food and attitude. It is why they have been in business for so long. The burgers here are fresh, juicy, and well seasoned. The price point is excellent, especially since they do not skimp on the cooked size of the patties. The fries are good. The other sandwiches I have tried are also fantastic. If you order your burger with bacon, they do not skimp there either. You can pretty much have them customize any sandwich on the board and they are happy to accommodate, although there might be an up charge for something like bacon...totally understandable. I generally do not like "fried" pies, but my husband ordered one and I tried it....now I am hooked. It wasn't too greasy, and had a nice light flavor. The cinnamon/apple really came through. It was just the right touch of sweet to end the meal. There is a small outdoor seating area which is very pleasant. It is shaded and clean. Covid protocols are followed. This is a very popular local spot, so expect a small wait at lunch. The peak lunch run can be fairly long as this is in a fairly mixed use, industrial/ residential area, so there has been a line each time we have gone between 11:30AM and 2:00PM. They do have call-in ordering if you don't want to wait, but waits have never been long, in our experience, once you order. Parking can be a bit of an issue, but usually you can find a spot on the street. You may have to circle the block a couple of times for a spot to clear, or park around the corner...a small price to pay for the yumminess that awaits! Thank you Chris and the gang for your consistently great service and food! read more

This is one of the best burger places in Houston, and the dark knight is the chili cheese dog best in Houston bar none! The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because it's closed on the weekends and closed early during the week! read more

Omg!!!!!! My favorite is the Mushroom & Swiss burger, I add bacon to it and to heaven I go!!!!! The burgers are a good size, fries are not my favorite, service is great...they are not open on weekends which sucks!!!! read more

First outing to the "Champ Burger" and it is not a place you would just be driving by (at least in my life) and stop by- so we ventured to this local about 1130 and there was no huge line and server was friendly and fast- we grabbed an shaded spot in the outdoor seating (that is the only seating) and dove right in. I had the Champ cheeseburger and fries- toasted bun, big hot burger, fresh lettuce, tomato, pickles and with the right amount of mustard and mayo (I asked for light on both) so it was an awesome just burger (like many have stated not gourmet not outstanding slap your mama- just a good burger) fries were good as well so decent place for a quick, relatively inexpensive bite to eat. (Street parking and if it rains you want to be under the covered seating...just sayin!) read more
