Incredible burgers and fries with a great assortment of trimmings to customize your meal.

Tucked away in a nondescript retail center that has seen its best many a decade ago its Not much on the outside at all. Upon walking in you are welcomed to a bright and clean establishment with 70s disco pumping through the speakers and a friendly and chipper staff. This is by far the best looking and cleanest of this local chain. I guess they say its the original and therefore it should the flag bearer in what a Hippo Burger (HB) should be. Food as with any HB is top notch. Its always a damn good sandwich read more

Food is amazing every single time. It is always such a nostalgic flavor. My favorite burger of all time is the #3. I would highly highly recommend coming here. I don't know how there is not a line flowing out the door every time I go. Definitely underrated. It is always so chill and peaceful inside and the girls at the front are always so nice. As you can see from the pictures we come here a lot an it's just always a great time and good food. Thank y'all read more

-#12 siracha burger was seasoned well - chili cheese fries weren't my cup of tea but may be yours. -The decorations at the restaurant were a little outdated for my liking. - The place was clean and empty when we arrived. -The location was a little sketchy for my liking so I'll try the one on atascosita next time. -lunch crowd started coming in one by one at 3pm -price was $35 for two combos -the burger was huge. read more

Same good taste, but smaller store. Store has been reduced to half the size. Not sure why...but another business is on the other half of wall from its original store. Can't complain, this is the Original location, can't get no better than where it started regardless. read more

Hippo Burgers' "Grilled Cheese" A Tragedy in Three Bites.... you've ever wondered what it might feel like to bite into disappointment wearing a sesame seed hat, look no further than the grilled cheese at Hippo Burgers. This masterpiece arrives on an inside-out burger bun, as if the kitchen suddenly remembered mid-order that bread exists but decided to improvise for the thrill of it. Bold. Confusing. A little chaotic. Then there's the cheese: two flimsy, unenthusiastic slices of Walmart cheese that look like they escaped from a lunchbox in 2009 and never emotionally recovered. Not a hint of creaminess. Not a melt, not a stretch, not even a polite attempt to soften. Just stiff, existential dairy squares contemplating the meaning of life on your bun, clinging to the bun like they didn't actually want to be part of this experience either. And yet... redemption glimmers. The Cajun fries were the true hero of the meal. Crispy, seasoned, and downright delightful. Honestly, I should've just stuck with the fries. They were the only part of the order that didn't seem confused about their purpose in life. The sweet tea, however, tasted like it had been sitting out for a day or two, gathering wisdom and possibly a faint hint of carbonation. A philosophical beverage, but not in a good way. The whole sandwich vibes like it was assembled by someone who whispered, "You'll live" and walked away. Overall, 10 out of 10 for comedic value, and the fries, 2 out of 10 for... literally anything else. If you're craving grilled cheese, maybe try a different universe. read more

Coworker recommended this place. Ask the friendly cashier what she recommended if I only ever get to eat here once and she recommended the mushroom burger. My burger was fantastic. The fries were perfect and crunchy and well seasoned and my coworker commented how amazingly hot and fresh, the food was and stayed throughout the meal best burger I've had in a while. Recommend! read more

Went here while traveling to Houston for lunch with a couple of our local folks. Looked a little sketch initially. Some other coworkers were there and said we were in for a treat. Ordered the basic bacon cheeseburger and fries. Food was decently priced. Colleagues ordered and we grabbed a table. Burgers were brought out a couple minutes later. Big and good. Awesome burger and bun combo. Not drowned out with condiments and veg. Basic. Solid. DELICIOUS. Fries were good too. Colleagues enjoyed theirs as well. Will request to go again next time I'm in Houston. read more

Everything is awesome, the food is amazing . If you haven't been there, you need to check this place out

Burgers are huge! There are quite a few combinations you can get here. They definitely have some of their own specialty concoctions too! Service was quick and easy. Walked right up to the counter and ordered! Not a lot of people were in there so there were plenty of booths and tables to sit in. Burgers were well seasoned. Panties are hand formed. Fries were okay. I went with my family and everyone got their own burgers and had rave reviews about them! read more

Think Larry David: Prettyyyy...prettyyyy....pretty good. The menu is the perfect size - just enough variety for whatever you're feeling like. Every side we tried was hot and solid. The burgers were all the picture-perfect version of "decent." The people running the place were pleasant. The setup inside is sparse and honestly depressing, but no one is here looking for it to look cute. Won't drive a distance to get here. Haven't craved it since we came here. But if you're in the area, it's not a bad spot. read more

Interesting place. Would like to see the rest of the locations. We went on a Tuesday evening and the place was surprisingly dead for it being dinner time. Fortunately, that meant fast service. The cheeseburgers were very good. Not necessarily life changing, I have to come back ASAP good, but worth a return trip. The restaurant itself was rather dumpy, which was a bit disappointing. Wish it were better kept, which is why I'd like to see some of their other locations. Not opposed to coming back when it's convenient, but wouldn't go out of my way for it. read more

The burgers are amazing. They have so many options for the burgers. The atmosphere is wonderful and there is plenty of room in the dining are. Prices are very reasonable as well. Definitely recommend them read more

Went in because I was craving some Chilli cheese fries and a Mexican hot dog. I had it here before and it was good.... however I don't know if it was an off day or the quality has just gone down because it's been about 6 months since I got it last. But this time the bread was hard like it was stale. The Chilli cheese fries tasted super weird I don't know if it was old grease or just the fries were fried before and refried or a combo of both just nasty I threw the whole thing away. The service was awesome. The young lady at the counter was very friendly. I don't think I'll be back. But you try them to see if it was just an off day. read more

I would highly recommend listening to any suggestions the staff has! This was my first time at Hippo Burgers, and there were so many options, I didn't know where to start. The owner gave a few recommendations and I was blown away! Great food, appetizers, and combinations for their smashburgers - read more

Just ok- meat breaks in half while trying to eat burger & slides out- cheapest cheese used, don't even think it was real cheese. Garlic fries were frozen fries with minced garlic from the jar- spooned on top. Chocolate mint shake was the only thing half way decent! read more

Had this in my Yelp bookmark for awhile. Finally was able to stop by Hippo Burgers during Snovid-21. Although Houston was recovering fromt he snow and freezing temperatures, these guys opened their doors quicker than most other restaurants in the area. It is a counter service place and they bring it out to you. It was not very busy when we got there and the food came out very quickly. The workers were nice, nothing out of the ordinary. Went with just the regular Hippo burger, French fries, and a chocolate shake. All was fresh and delicious. Nothing that revolutionized the burger concept that would get me to drive the 25 miles from my house, but if I am going to the airport I would definitely visit again. read more

Stopped at this Hippo Burger Sunday night. They have great burgers, delicious thick crisp onion rings, lots of French fry options, dogs, chicken, salads, shakes, sodas, and other beverages. Although I did not try them, my dining companions said they heard the wings were good also. read more

Great food l, the burger was made perfectly. There's nothing negative to say. It was very flavorful and we will be returning.

Jackie is the bomb! Great service and great food. First time here and I think this place is a keeper

Mediocre. Don't get the fried pickles, They are nasty. The burger was average. The Cajun fries we're good and fresh and had a decent kick to the spice. Tater tots were fine. read more

Hippo Burgers - Amazing burgers ,the best burgers in town ,I'll never get tired of them - Burgers Near Me - Humble, Texas

After arriving back in Houston, I was looking for a meal close to the airport (George Bush Intercontinental). Hippo Burgers was pretty close so we made our way to Humble. I had heard of this burger joint for years so I was excited to finally try it. Even though hippos are highly dangerous animals who have quite the mean streak. I was able to overcome this. Hippo Burgers isn't located in the best part of town but hey, I'm all about the food. They have a small parking lot and parking wasn't an issue. Hippo Burgers is a casual spot. You order at the counter and then they bring your food out to you. I ordered the Hawaiian burger because you can never go wrong with anything with pineapple on it. If you're anti pineapple on food, we can't be friends. I also ordered the Cajun fries and a soft drink. I'm not sure if the cooks here are hippos but they know how to do a burger right. The burger patty was flavorful and it was served on a toasted bun. While the Cajun fries weren't spicy, the seasoning was good. All in all, a solid meal. Even though you can dine in, I'd treat Hippo Burgers as more of a takeout kind of spot. read more

These burgers are like drugs, and I wanna take a TRIPPO They had 1 bad dish, but that was just a BLIPPO They also have fries although I prefer the CHIPPO But when it comes to burgers, I come to HIPPO Don't give me an old phone, or you will see me FLIPPO Don't have the cops tail me, I'll give them the SLIPPO Don't circumcize kids, don't work right after the SNIPPO And if you want a burger then get your ass down to HIPPO The perfect place to take a girl during COURTSHIPPO The perfect place to go and pee and I'll help you UNZIPPO You know I wouldn't lie, I'm much like Shakira's HIPS-O And if you want some food in Humble, you should come to HIPPO When the burger comes, pose like me and show your NIPPO And pout a little bit like there's collagen in your LIPPO And if it gets you laid, you can ask for just the TIPPO And then work up an appetite, and then come back to HIPPO WHAT Some people can come here and knock back 10 burgers or more. I don't understand how it's possible. Maybe if you're Hippobottomless. Get it. We heard about this very highly rated burger place in Humble, and so we made a bee-line here (well it was more of a hippo-line, and bees don't fly in a straight line anyway, most of the time), and I can definitely see why people are so in love with it. They make excellent juicy homemade burgers with very good prices, and they're extremely popular with all the locals up here. They're not as good as a couple of my favourite burgers in the city, Lankford being top of the list, but they're definitely one of the top 10 in the Houston area, and definitely much better than all the fast food versions. They'd probably be more like a 4-star if it wasn't for the great service and the fact that we both really enjoyed the experience, and that there is not that much good food in the Humble portion of town, in the Northeast suburbs. So for these reasons I give it five stars. Little local places like this are amazing, taste wise and in terms of concept and bravery, and they need our support. And I hope that it stays in business for many years, because one of my favourite soul food places down the road just went out of business, and I'm rooting for these guys and I think they're pretty awesome. And remember, it's Hippo to be square. So for all of you silent Yelp lurkers All you Rachels, Roberts and Robertas When you're way up in Humble Just make like a bumble Make a Bee-Line to Hippo's Burgers! read more

You all definitely needs to get better control over salt seasoning. I have had issues in the past regarding overly salted burgers. This time I noted lightly seasoning which was taken into consideration for the burger. It was perfectly salted. HOWEVER, the Cajun fries received the leftover salt from the burger. They were so salty could feel the grittiness on every fry. It was so overpowering had to wipe it off of each fry. You all have been told countless times to ease up on the salt. I like that the burger is seasoned before being cooked, makes it taste better. Ease up on the salt for the fries as well. I am unable to get an edible meal from you all. It is either burnt onion rings, salty burgers and today salty Cajun fries. You have received feedback on what you need for serving quality food BUT you aren't acting on it. You gotta do better to stay in business. read more

The veggie burger was delicious! The fries not so much. I ordered the garlic fries and they were too wet and too much minced garlic on top. I like my fries crispy! I would recommend and will go back if I'm ever in the Humble area. read more

Crispy chicken subbed and it was overcooked. Sweet potato fries were soggy and some burnt. For price paid, expected better. On a positive note, Hippo offering reward points for every dollar spent. I would NOT order chicken sandwich next time. read more

Good burger in a nice local restaurant with quick service. Lots of different options at a decent price

I was in a major rush. Maybe the best burger I've had and definatley for the money. Thanks to everyone.

Great find! Turns out they've got about six locations in the Houston area. Decided I'm just a burger and this was a whole lot more than that! Had the hippo mushroom burger which has everything you can imagine on it with onions and lettuce and tomato. The best part about it is it tasted like a really good hamburger! on top of that, of course was their bluebell milkshake. But that's beside the point. No, that is the point! Only just passing through for a weekend visit, I will definitely make a note of this place and encourage anybody around to give it a shot. You won't be disappointed. read more

I went to this location because of the reviews, before I attended the Gun show. Saw that this business had 4.5 stars and decided to give it a try. PSA: no drinks with the combos that are at least $8 + . We had a variety of food cause I went with my family of 4. Ehh, chicken tenders & onion rings were overcooked for our taste. Chicken wings with garlic Parmesan were decent. Cheeseburger/hamburgers were a good portion & it was a good size patty. And the chili cheese fries were good. Oh and the vanilla milkshake was good, but costs $6+. I Spent about $78. Would I go back? Probably not. read more

First time in there, came with my brother and nephew and customer service was great. Made jokes with the cashier and food was out in a reasonable time. Their jamaica was great and the burgers were good, will be returning when i get more money read more

Ordered four individually customized burgers with fries today for a lunch with my Houston area safety manager team. Everyone enjoyed their burger and the fries very much. The burger was delicious, and the bun is awesome as well. Nice, thick, and flavorful patty, with real fries. Worthy of a bookmark and a try if you live or work near-by, or you're just passing through read more

Was driving down Wilson to run an errand and almost stopped at McDonald's for a quick bite, but kept driving and about a half mile up the road (going North) I saw Hippo Burger. I have been on the one located on Atascocita Rd., but didn't know they had one on Wilson. If you know you know and if you don't know you need to stop in and give it a try. Amazing burgers and fairly priced. I plan on trying the Mexican hot dog on my next visit though. read more

I saw the reviews and thought let's try it out for Father's Day...Man to say I was disappointed would be an understatement! I got the bacon burger, and it was rough, I couldn't even get through a quarter of the burger! Bacon was all fat and too chewy, but the seasoning was way over board, like I've never had such a salty burger in my life! Same with fries and tots, say over powering salty flavor...greasy cheese sticks, wife's chicken salad nearly every bit with chicken had ligaments and cartilage in it...sons chicken wings were way overcooked...waste of 70 dollars... read more

I was so excited to try this place because of the reviews and boy was I disappointed. The sriracha burger patty was super salty, the wings were soft and gummy. The bbq wings did not taste like bbq they were so disgusting. I took a few bites and ended up tossing all of my food. Spent around $22 just to throw it out. read more
