    Food is a 4+, location/ambiance leave something to be desired. Burgers are huge and clearly hand-shaped in house; really flavorful and filling. We came on a Saturday around noon and there was no wait; food was out in less than 10 min. They have tons of burger and chicken sandwich options, so most anyone should be able to find something to their liking. Friendly staff, generally pretty clean, sparse space.

    Chose this place out of others in the area as this place was close to my next destination and wondered how the food is. Established next to a gas station, the building is on the left side and upon entering, the atmosphere is small and minimalistic. Not to say it's bad, but you go there to get your food and eat. 4/5 On a Tuesday during evening it's not empty but not crowded, I'd say around a few people. Customer service is expected (ordered my food, pay it for it, no issues) I got #1 on the menu and Vanilla Shake for around $18, including tips (15%) although tipping culture and how it's shown on the machine is pretty much "emotion-guided" if you feel bad about not tipping. Without tips it's still a bit hefty on price. Price is 2/5 The Hippo Burger (#1 on menu) - Texture: 3/5 I honestly expected the patty to have at least some juice in it but it does fall apart easily, showing that it's lean from what I can tell. - Flavor: 4/5 The smokiness from the patty alongside the acidity of pickles and crunchy veggies gives it a nice "burger" flavor. Although has similar flavor to a whataburger burger. Overall rating: 3/5 Lower side if you prefer a juicier burger, otherwise 4/5. Take note of the buns though the butter pairs well. Shake (Vanilla) - Texture: 3/5 I'd say from a thickness scale from 1-5 (low viscosity to highest) I'd rate it a 3. Not too watery like water but not thick to the point you can't drink from it. - Flavor: 4/5 I assume a shake will include mixing in ice cream and milk to make it, as this drink is slightly sweet, combined with the flavor of milk and vanilla ice cream. Comparable to chic fil a shakes honestly if I had to relate to another chain. - Overall Rating: 4/5 I couldn't find anything noteworthy, but a vanilla shake is a vanilla shake. Overall place rating: 4/5, although I do not recommend myself to come back again because of prices and other chains have competitive prices with almost the same quality.

    Hippo Cheeseburger and Hippo Garlic Fries

    I think Hippo Burger is 3.5 stars, but I'm rounding up to 4. It's a small unassuming place connected to a gas station. The ambiance is definitely lacking, and the day we were there, multiple patrons had not bussed their tables despite there being disposal places next to the tables, so it felt a bit dirty. However, the food made up for the environment. Their burgers are a hefty 1/2 lb, so I opted to split their Hippo cheeseburger, a chocolate shake, and an order of garlic fries. The shake was good, but not the best I've had. The garlic fries were really unique. They were loaded with garlic flavor and had a good crispness to them without being overcooked. The burger was really delicious and I could see the patty had been seared really nicely, while the inside was ever so slightly pink. I will say the guy taking the orders didn't have the best customer service, but we didn't interact long enough to affect the meal. I would come back for a tasty burger and fries--it looks like they have a drive through too for convenience.

    Great burger overall! Had the jalapeño cheeseburger with garlic fries. Beautiful bun on bottom and sesame seed top bun. All the way on the fixings. Ordered it's ago and within 10 minutes. It was ready when I arrived. Definitely will return to try other items like chili cheese fries!

    Lead off review 2022. Happy new Year Yelpies. Hippos burgers Is a solid Burger Chain. The few times I've been in, it's constantly busy with people coming in and out for a lot of to go orders. They have a vast selection of burgers and chicken sandwiches. The burgers are all half pounder's and on my last visit, I ordered the guacamole. burger. It was a juicy succulent beef patty with cheese and sautéed onions and they actually had guacamole spread all on the buns. I also ordered hippo fries that were A pretty good quantity And very well seasoned. They also have quite a bit of different varieties of french fries. There are shakes on the menu also and their prices are fairly reasonable for the quantity that they serve.

    First visit to this establishment which came highly recommended but for my taste buds it was just fair. In my burgers I always look for that homemade wow factor that reminds you of mom's greasy and homemade toasted buns and juicy burgers which is extremely hard to find and duplicate. So I'm extremely critical of my reviews on burgers and so far only one has met those expectations which is Mister Hamburger in Huntsville Texas but I always continue my search for the ultimate burger. The restaurant was empty and quiet with very little traffic.

There's nothing worse than ordering a "cooked fresh, made to order burger" and ending up with one that's barely warm. I was told, "All of our burgers are made to order," which sounds right. But when you get home after a 7-minute drive and your burger is registering 74 degrees, it definitely feels a little bamboozling. What really gets me is that my fries were hotter than the burger.And this isn't the first time it's happened either. Lately, they've been very hit or miss. I genuinely don't understand why it's so difficult to serve food that's actually hot when it's supposed to be made to order.

Their Chocolate shake wasn't too bad, but also didn't taste any different from shakes I had in the past, nor was my friend's burger, which I took a bite of, anything spectacular either. I felt a little ballsy and ordered an item from the secret menu: Animal-Styled fries, which consisted of American-melted cheese, grilled onions, and Thousand Island sauce. While the toppings sounded appealing, I was extremely let down by the fries; they weren't crispy at all, and they didn't have any salt. Their grilled onions were my favorite, but that's me being generous since nothing else was delivering. I also wish their cheese were more melted, since it made the fries a bit difficult to scoop. Overall, In-N-Out wasn't atrocious, but plain and overhyped best describes it. I am glad I gave it a try.

Thankfully, the food scene in Houston is so great, that we don't have to settle for mediocre halal food, but this is not that. The customer service was great. I didn't get the name of the girl who took my order, but she was very sweet and helpful. She let me know that getting a combo was a $3 upcharge, and it got us a drink and a fries. I chose a Mexican type orange soda and it was delicious. The fries we got came out cold, but they got us new fries that were nice and hot so and the counter girl apologized for the fries that we got before which seemed hard, old and cold. So no harm no foul. I got the original burger, and it was really good. I like that it had caramelized onions and it just tasted very fresh and like the other of you said a hundred percent grass fed halal meat. We also got the hot chicken sandwich, which my husband preferred, because he liked the coleslaw addition to the sandwich. We also got garlic parmesan wings because of a picture I saw online, and I have to say the picture looked better than the actual wings.They were quite salty. I would not get those again. The establishment looks clean.The customer service was great, and besides the fries mishap, our food came out in a nice orderly time and was fresh and hot. I would definitely recommend to come here!

I remembered it was nearby, so I told my boyfriend we might as well take advantage of the deal and try somewhere new while we were in the area. When we got there, the place looked renovated. There were a couple tables inside and the ordering counter was immediately on the left when you walked in. The workers at the counter were helpful while we ordered. We both ended up getting the kbbq chicken bowls. My boyfriend got the spicy version and I got the regular with added cabbage because I love the little crunch it gives. The food came out pretty quickly and we decided to eat inside. Honestly, the bowls were good and very filling for the size we ordered. It's a pretty simple meal , rice on the bottom and chicken on top ,but sometimes simple just works. While I was eating it, I kept telling my boyfriend the chicken tasted super familiar and I couldn't figure out why at first. Then it finally hit me, it tastes almost identical to the teriyaki chicken from Panda Express. And honestly, I didn't mind that at all because I actually like that flavor. So if you've had Panda Express teriyaki chicken before, that's probably the closest comparison I could give. One thing that definitely made the bowls even better was adding the soy sauce packets they had on the side. That extra flavor pulled everything together for me. Overall, I enjoyed it. It's not anything super fancy or life-changing, but it was a simple, tasty meal that didn't feel too heavy, which I personally liked. I told my boyfriend if we're ever back in the area, we'd definitely stop by again.
