Bacon Cheese Burger
Phil C.

This was a fantastic Burger place.. I was working in the area and always love to find locally owned businesses... Fresh ingredients and a good portion patty.. Absolutely Fantastic imo

Barbecue cheese burger and cajun fries
Clint M.

I swung by here on the recommendation of a colleague. I'd never heard of the place before, but apparently it's part of a chain in the east Houston suburbs. The place doesn't look like much when you walk in, but sometimes simpler is better. That was definitely the case here. I ordered my burger and fries, and went with Cajun fries at the cashier's recommendation. The burger was thick and juicy, clearly made from fresh beef. The toppings were thick cut and added a nice heft to the burger. The fries were dusted with a seasoning that left no need for ketchup, but had enough kick that I refilled my drink a couple of times to help wash them down. Overall, it cost slightly more than I'd like to pay for a burger, fries, and drink during my lunch break, but definitely a place worth grabbing a bite to eat at if you're in the area.

Burnt onions and mushrooms, less cheese too.
Yandia J.

First time here. Might just be this location, cause I never had a problem with any of there sandwiches elsewhere! Was excited when placing my order to-go, mushroom w/swiss burger and a sweet potato fries order with cookies and cream milkshake. But I highlighted the important things in the pics! Never again. Just because your chain has multiple store, doesn't mean the workers are running it the same as the other locations or making food the same way. It was the worst mushroom burger since coming! I even called back because what I experienced I spoke to staff about it but I was already at work when noticed. Quality is what counts. Other location like (beltway/gessner), and (timber forest) are better. The one one Wilson Rd. Is the original one! Need to try that one out. But wasn't satisfied at this location.

Hippo Avocado Burger
Rachel P.

I ordered a chocolate shake, Cajun fries, and avocado burger. The burger was very greasy but the fries and shake weren't bad. I will also add, if ordering through DoorDash you aren't getting ripped off by this restaurant. Their prices on the DoorDash app are the same prices posted to their menu. $7.50 for the burger, $1.75 for fries, and $3.50 for the shake.

Hippo avocado burger
Travis C.

Best burgers in town, not just talking out my behind either! Avocado burger is a must try! They use real ground beef super thick meat and everything just flows together so perfectly. It's been consistently good for last 2 years. If you like a huge thick juicy burger with plenty of flavor this is the place for you! You want a plain Jane burger with no flavor take your butt to McDonald's. Goodbye.

Cajun Fries

Hippo Burger is a great name for this restaurant when you look at the portions! The food was absolutely amazing!

The service was good but the food is not that great. The burger was very bland and the bread quality felt stale.

To keep it simple, no this isn't the best bbq in Houston, but it might be the best valued brisket…read moresandwich. They hook it up! I enjoy their sauce and the vibe is cool. It kind of has a warehouse feel to it. I'm surprised they don't open the place up on weekend nights for a western themed bar or something. I've seen the same workers in this joint for over a decade, so I'd think it's family owned. They stay busy, so it must be popular. When I'm in town, it's one of the places I visit to get a good lunch for a fair price. Overall, no complaints! Keep up the good work Straight Off The Road BBQ!

We were regulars at Straight off the Road a few years back, but since we moved farther out, we…read morehaven't been here in a while. Today, Momma wanted barbecue, and the places closer to home don't offer indoor dining. Since we were dressed up for Mother's Day, we drove out of the way to come here. I expected a good time. Straight off the Road has always had good vibes, and nothing there has changed. Country music when you come in the door, good service, and authentic feeling decorations. It just feels like home in here-- Texas without all the pretentiousness of fancier places. I was surprised to see the parking lot and the restaurant only half full on Mother's Day, but looking back, I should have known then that something wasn't quite right. Everything went well until I got my plate. I ordered the two meat brisket and sausage, potato salad, and fried okra. The portion was huge-- enough for three people -- but I couldn't enjoy it. The brisket should have been the star, but it tasted like was baked too long in an oven an oven a day or two ago. There was no smoke flavor, and the meat just fell apart. I could have eaten it with a spoon. It was tender, sure, but anybody can do that if you cook it/rest it long enough. The flavor just wasn't there. I'm not sure whether they make their sausage or get it from somewhere outside, but it seemed to be quality stuff before they cooked it. It was coarse ground like I like it with good seasoning. But where was the smoke? The sausage honestly looked and tasted like it was sliced and boiled. I was shocked. The potato salad tasted good, but the texture was all wrong. Everything was chopped up small like it was done in the food processor and there was no love in it. Fried okra is hard to get wrong, but there was nothing particularly right about it either. I was so suspicious about the lack of flavor in my meat that I drove around the back parking lot when we left. There were several racks of neatly stacked firewood, but it was all filled up to the top. Either it had just been delivered, or it's not getting used. I suspect the latter. This is Texas. If you're gonna keep the doors open at a barbecue joint, you have to do better. I love coming to your restaurant, and I hope you get things figured out.

It is a small town diner essentially located in the Highlands. Not a very big space. Not sure what to do we grabbed menus and sat down no greeter or host at the front. We had to clear our own table because I only saw one waitstaff running around. We were finally told we can look at the menus and order at the front. I knew I wanted the po-boy and that is what I ordered, my wife got the shrimp basket, and our daughter ordered the steak finger basket. Our meal took a while to come out and what came out was not a shrimp po-boy. It was a shrimp sandwich on Texas toast. I looked at it and told the server that is not a po-boy. She said they were out of the hoagie rolls and that was a sub for the bread it would have been courteous to let me know before I ordered this that this was what was being offered. Unfortunately I had to send it back and order the basket instead and I do not like doing that. No tartar or ketchup was sent out with the meal and had to ask for it. They sent out room temperature tartar sauce in an already handled bottle by other guests which to me was not very sanitary. Will not be back. Also the prices do not match online or what was on the video. Good luck coming here :(
