First time there . The prices are a little pricey but the burgers are delicious. The one I ordered was a cheeseburger it was not greasy. Super lean I will be returning read more

The tator-tots and fries tasted as though they were cooked in old grease. The food was way over priced and was above what was shown on the wall. A 16 ounce styrofoam cup of tea was over $4. The total meal cost over $65 (not including tip) for 2 hamburger, chicken strips, tator-tots fries, and 3 drinks. The service was lacking. No one checked on us at all. While the ambiance was OK, there was only one other person in there with us (the restaurant next door looked like it had a waiting line outside). I should have realized the issue with the lack of people eating there. I will not return. read more

I have been going to Cliff's Hamburgers on Fairview for almost 40 years. Consistently the best burger EVER! Mike runs a great operation. I rarely get the french fries because they give you a mountain of fries which I can't consume in one sitting - but they are fantastic and made from fresh potatoes on site. Friend's give me gift certificates to Cliff's. They know I how much I love their hamburgers! read more

Wanted to try something new today with friends so we decided to check out Cliffs. I ordered a Patty Melt Combo with frys, mozzarella sticks and fried pickles. I have to say, It was very delicious. In my opinion the whataburger patty melt does not compare to this one I usually dont finish my whole meal but I ate the entire thing and really did hit the spot. Thanks Cliffs for the great food and service will definitely be visiting another time soon! read more

Well I had high hopes for this place as I'm still looking for a new burger dive since my favorite spot closed. I will state the positives: friendly service, variety on menu and the place was clean. I ordered the standard cheeseburger and fries and the burger was meh at best. The patty tasted dry and lacked the beef flavor it should but had an odd over seasoned taste. Seasoning should be an accent, not the main course and I hate when places use overly loud seasoning. Now the fries that's another story.....they were excellent !!! Fresh cut and natural just the way fries should be. My hubby had the Kobe beef burger and it was equally as bad as the original burger, except with a higher price. I know it's not real Kobe because the price would have been more and true Kobe comes from Japan and anything else is faux Kobe. They serve it medium by the way. The place does allow you options: you can pick your own cheese, split onion rings and fries and mix up other items too. I may come back for the chicken tenders but I'm not sure as there are other options in the area that are better. Some additional negatives are very uncomfortable chairs, dining area is too hot and we spent 28.00 on 2 burgers, fries and drinks and that's ridiculous (too high) !!!!! read more

Literally the best and most consistent burger in the area. The staff are so kind. Would give it 6 stars if possible.

Absolutely delicious burgers. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Just moved to the area, and this will be my go to for burgers.

This place is amazing! Surprised I found such a great spot so near home I'm used to eating fast food a lot. The woman who took our order was so friendly and inviting the food was great (we had the Philly and the giant stuffed potato) wish I had got a picture before we devoured it but it just looked so good I totally forgot read more

My hands still smell like onions from this place! Real Texas burgers. Big, all the fixings. Too much lettuce! I took it off and then I could taste the juicy meat and cheese. The onion rings are huge! I couldn't finish a single thing on my plate. I also had to use like 4 napkins. I want to try some other stuff on their menu next. I also want to go to Ron's Pub next door and have this delivered, sounds like it'd be a great combo! It's not healthy, but it's mmmmm-good! read more

Come here for that traditional and classic burger with fries. Friendly service and fast preparation on a Monday night. $11.25 for a cheeseburger + fries. I would say a little costly while there isn't much "wow" factor that distinguishes the product from other places, but it was a good portion. Not trendy or inventive, but hits the spot. read more

Just paid $31 for two burger and one fry. Fries was cold and hard for some reason. Burger was good, you can tell it's fresh because it took 20 mins make. All in all I love this place but the hype doesn't match the worth. read more

This place is great. The burgers are nicely sized, cooked to order and very tasty. The sides are prepared to order and come out hot and nice sized portions. The people who own and run the place are friendly and a pleasure to be around. They are not really conveniently located for us but if we are in the neighborhood we go there. Highly recommend. read more

Overpriced! This place is way too expensive for what you get. $28 for a double cheese burger, onion rings, and a drink is ridiculous. Food quality was fine but didn't justify the price. Will not be going back a 2nd time. read more

Okay I've tried the burger, fries and the chicken fried chicken from Cliff's. The burger was good but not cooked the way I asked for it to be cooked and I got a bad stomachache after. The chicken fried chicken and fries were just alright. I really wanted to like this place more than I did because it's in my hood. Customer service wasn't great either. read more

This little place was quiet, quick, and delicious. I am not a burger fan so I opted for a house salad with ranch which I'm normally hesitant to do because everybody's ranch can be different. This ranch was perfectly creamy not to thick or chunky and they served it on the side so you can pour to your liking. Fair pricing too! Check it out if your in the area. read more

Food and service have declined recently, and no longer live up to the prices. Disappointing.

So you get two reviews for the price of one. Post sunday workout, I had a craving for burgers. Yay. I've seen cliffs bc they are located by my amazing dentist office (briar Grove smiles). The parking lot has plenty of spaces on a weekend day, the owner (assuming) greeted us at the when we entered. Very friendly and suggested the kobe beef burger. The service was great, and I was impressed. My gf ordered the classic burger, ugh lame. I went with the kobe burger recommendation with Murphy build. The food came out in a fast order, the place was clean, and has an old times feeling. Food, the kobe beef burger with onions rings. Amazing, BBQ, medium cooked beef, sautéed onions. Amazing.. bread tastes great, not soggy. The breaded colossal onion rings were crispy, giant and amazing. A must item to eat. The classic, was a good burger, but with the other kinds I would recommend trying them first. read more

I think this is mostly a place for the old timers who have been going here for years to get a burger. Their buns have too much bread for the patties, and they're just not very tasteful. Their fries have improved since the remodeling. I've also heard bad stories about the owner's wife that include her stealing the workers' tip money, but I supposed that story is only one sided. read more

What I hope a whataburger would taste like every time I get one. Love the burgers and the chili cheese fries here. read more

So we went here just this last Saturday for lunch with a large group of friends the place was packed so luckily the outside temperature had warmed up and no one was sitting out on the patio so we took over the entire patio area and they brought out extra chairs. I had chili burger but substituted the patty for Buffalo also had onion rings they were off the chain good when they were warm but it was a little chilly outside so they became cold so I recommend eating them hot not quite as good when they cool down. As for that chili burger one of the better ones I've had in a while definitely recommend getting it. And I always go for Buffalo when there's that option.Unless there's some other different options that you don't find it most places that might go for that. All in all so glad we went hadn't been here in several years had completely forgotten about the place so if you have a never been here over to been a while I suggest go ahead and going on down and give them a try very friendly service and great chili burgers oh I tried some of the seasoned fries they were very good to. read more

Cliffs Old Fashioned Hamburgers.. where has this place been all my life? Thank you to Mike M. for introducing it to me! I was just here over the past weekend that went by.. & had the opportunity to meet my fellow Yelpers. Had a grand ol' time and enjoyed burgers in good company. Upon entering the burger dive.. there was a friendly old man inside the place who said its probably older than my mom. Maybe. I felt like I was transported back to the good old days. Didn't feel like eating beef as I had eaten it a few times during the week so I opted for a chicken sandwich. This native California girl specifically chose the California chicken sandwich.. & let me tell you.. it was good! Its a popular item and a safe bet with so many selections on the menu. Food took quite some time to arrive.. but the weather was lovely and so many people were seated inside and outside the restaurant. Its plain to see how popular this burger joint is.. all kinds of folk were there on a Saturday afternoon. The folk running the restaurant are super friendly and kind.. we were delivered some of the best service.. and it was appreciated. Everyone joined their food.. it was fresh, hot, crispy and tasty. My California chicken sandwich consisted of a juicy marinated chicken breast, creamy avocado, melty white cheese, mayo, tomato, bun, etc. It was a tasty meal and wasn't salty or anything. Portion was quite decent.. felt quite full after eating half of the sandwich. Tried an onion ring from a friend... and it had a flavorful and crispy texture. I'll most definitely try something different off the menu when I visit next time around.. they have such a diverse menu and there is surely something for everyone. Might try their black bean burger or salmon burger next time around. The crispy fish sandwich looks good as well. I'm definitely bringing my family to this popular old joint. It was a well spent Saturday with my Yelp friends. Try it out and bring your friends a long as well. Think you'll like it too. :) read more

Great burgers, fries and onion rings. Clean place and service is quick. All things are fresh; meat, bun, vegetables. I think this burger is top 5 worthy across Texas. Small place, but very good if your in the area read more

Wife and I ordered food tonight. Absolutely delicious! Home style food with a home style taste. Welcoming owner and laid back atmosphere. Will definitely be back. read more

This was the first time I've eaten here and what struck me first was the friendliness of the people there. I was here with my YELP BOTM group and they helped us set up an area outside for us to sit. I had the Swiss/mushroom burger and decided not to have the bun (saving my calories as the holidays are upon us). The burger was very good, juicy and flavorful. The few french fries I stole from my husband were also very tasty. They had no problem serving me without the bun and added all the fixings on the side like a salad, perfect. I will say this place isn't good for a large crowed, it has a dedicated clientele and stays pretty full from what we were seeing. It is good for up to 6 and their service is great. read more

Came here for BOTM . The best hamburger of my life . I normally always get like a regular burger but on this particular day I was feeling risky . I order the Primos Chili Cheddar Burger and like I kid you not each bite of that was heaven . Like I could hear the choir in the back ground . The burger came with some homemade chili and also some cheddar cheese . I prefer my onions raw so that's how I had my burger . I finished my whole burger. I will most definitely will be returning here . Fries were good to . I almost prefer a second one that's how good it was. Price was good to . read more

Two Words: ONION RINGS This place is by far the best homemade burger place (maybe even traditional American place) in this area. The burgers are so flavorful and juicy and when I say the onion rings are the best I've ever had... I MEAN IT! I am not even a fan of onion rings normally but these are top notch. They are crunchy, perfectly cooked, and they look and taste homemade. The service has always been amazing, they remember you and your order and you feel like you're walking into your favorite haunt. I can't say enough good things about Cliff's!! read more

In Houston for a bit helping out my sister. We are super sad Fountain View Cafe has closed but Cliff's was a restaurant we went to frequently growing up when they had more locations in the Houston area. The bacon cheeseburger hit the spot and was exactly what I was craving and what I remembered Cliff's being. It's sad they are down to this one location but the foot and fries are excellent. read more

The people here we're really nice and the food was surprisingly good. The chicken porsch was really good. A very chill atmosphere and bar next door wasn't too roudy if you want to sit outside. read more

Such a great place very nice workers and very serious and great team with whats going on and very nice view of the restaurant and kitchen very clean and great food read more

We have eaten here several time and like it. Had cheeseburger combo w/fries and rings. Hubs had bacon cheeseburger. Fries are great, so are the rings. Good portion size. Only complaint Hubs said the bacon was precooked, quite thin sliced. Pricing seemed reasonable to me. I like it better than Southwells and the breakfast is better and cheaper than Fountainview Diner. Breakfast Stopped in for breakfast. They have quite a varied menu from traditional bacon and eggs, omelets, pancakes etc. I ordered 2 eggs overeasy with wheat toast and coffee and my tab was $9.75. I thought that was a bit pricey with no meat or side. It was good but a bit expensive for 3 items read more

Just found my new "go-to" burger joint. Best classic cheeseburger and hand cut fries. They beat anything out there hands down for a true old fashioned hamburger. Friendly folks too! read more

We ordered dinner from Cliff's using UberEats last week. My son got the Murphy Burger, which was great - no problems. I ordered a Grilled Chicken Sandwich, no mayo, no cheese, extra lettuce & tomato, and no bun. When we received our food from UberEats, I was shocked at my Chicken "Sandwich". I did have extra lettuce and tomato, but the Chicken Breast was very small, about 1/2" thick, dry as dust, and weighed 3.9 oz. I was very disappointed, and personally, I don't think I will be ordering from them again. $12.50 for a 3.9 oz piece of dry, overcooked chicken, with 2 leafy lettuce leaves, and 3 thin tomato slices is a bit much. And that was the charge for the sandwich only - had I wanted fries, that would have been an additional $4.50. My son is a red meat eater, and loves their burgers, so he will be ordering from them. But I will stick with Whataburger's Grilled Chicken Sandwiches for $6.59. Chicken hangs off the bun, is about 8.5 oz, juicy, and well seasoned. Sorry, Cliffs... read more

GREAT burger fries could use seasoning as well as the onion rings. Pricey but good!! Super convenient location as well very quick service

Shame on me. I've lived near the Galleria all my life and I always pass this little strip on Fountain View but never came in until now. Cliff's has the Winning formula- great meat to bread ratio. Patty's are thick and buns are toasted. Bacon is thick and meaty unlike the scrawny bacon from Whatburgwr. I'm a usual sucker for Whataburger or a Whopper but I've found the place for a burger now. Old fashioned fries too. New goal is to try every burger and sandwich from the menu read more

AH MAY ZING!!! Their turkey burger is DELISH!! Everyone working there makes you feel like family even in a brief interaction of placing an order!! read more

First/Last time eating here. $18 for Kobe Beef burger, onion rings and drink. Ordered medium, received dry and tough. What really ticked me off was the two slivers of "Roma" tomatoes on this burger. Who serves mealy Roma's on a burger and they were so small I needed four slices. The lettuce was roughly chopped, not leaf and fell on my burger at first bite. Onion rings were at least 3/8" thick and not editable. Seriously, why would Cliff hand me a burger and onion ring order like this. I left this pile of uneaten food center mass of the table to make a statement and walked out. Becks Prime or Miller's Hamburger are waaaaay better that this tuff dry burger. Hugely disappointed. read more

The best burger my husband and I have ever eaten. The onion rings are amazing. We haven't tried anything that we don't like here. We have introduced my whole family to Cliff's and they have fallen in love with it too!! The Murphy burger is my favorite. My husband loves the Kobe burger. The staff is amazing and so kind. It is such a warm and welcoming place! Right now, we are ordering takeout during COVID-19, but we cannot wait to get a meal inside again once this all passes. read more

Wow! Really good, really fresh ingredients! I had the Kobe cheeseburger, fries,onion rings, & jalapeño poppers. The bun was perfect! The lady working there told us all the ingredients are received fresh daily. You could tell. Just go to Cliff's! You so t regret it! read more
