Albana O.

I always look forward to visiting this part of town so I can come to Hippo Burgers. My favorite is their Hawaiian burger, a combination of pineapple, Canadian bacon, and tomato. It's the perfect combination of sweet and savory. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The area is clean for the most part and there is quite a bit of seating.

Burnt burger and sour pineapple
Julie H.

Everything except the fries and onion rings were bad. My burger was burned and the pineapple was sour and like the can had been opened for weeks. When I told the staff about it she told me she would tell the cooks, they knew they put out that substandard product. For me to say something takes an act of congress. Won't be returning it cost us $40 for 2 for lunch.

Classic Hippo, no lettuce no tomato per request. This is the other half for take home.

Third time was the charm. Their portions are huge. Still didn't get my order correct even though we always eat in. However, it's the perfect place for me and my son to talk after his dentist appointments just across the street if we don't choose Culver's. The place has a nostalgia for me because it reminds me of Gazeebo Burger in Dallas. Not an everyday burger because it's huge. But they made a suggestion that I try the kids size and jackpot. Loved it!

Ok!! This burger was one of the best burgers I have had. The staff were friendly and nice, but this place is a hole in the wall & needs a facelift!!

Hippo Chicken Special
Patty C.

There's not a lot of food destinations when it comes to Humble, but one can mark Hippo Burgers as an excellent spot for tasty burgers. I was recommended this place by a friend. Order at the counter, and the food will be brought out to you. Their menu focuses on burgers, with lots of varieties available to order. Given I had already had a burger the day before, I opted for the Chicken Especial which had a bit of everything. The sandwiches were served upside down. Hmm, that seems to be their thing... The chicken was cooked well, but my Cajun fries were very salty. The complete menu is not listed on their website, which is unfortunate. Their in house menu includes salads and several variations of fries. Definitely worth a return! Plus I have to figure out the mystery of the upside down burgers...

Kid Burger
Tracy B.

YUM-One of the best burgers places around. Picked up several to-go orders for an office lunch. The online order was simple and pick up was super easy. Everyone's orders were correct and the burgers didn't disappoint. I had the kids meal with fries because it is the perfect size for lunch. Hamburger was hot and seasoned well. Topped with all the free fresh fixings just melted in my mouth. Fries were hot and crispy and the onion rings were made in house. This location is small and we normally get our food to go. Definitely would recommend!

Hippo BBQ and Cheeseburger
Gabrielle C.

We were in the mood for a burger and we've been seeing this local chain on our adventures and decided to pop in. I also just love the hippo mascot. The portions are alright as we were able to split a burger and fries and leave satisfied. Something to note, this isn't a fries included establishment so you'll have to order everything on its own. The building seems kind of old, but it was quiet, so this is definitely a good place for a chill, sit down meal. The employees were polite which is always nice The burger itself was fine. Definitely a good simple burger joint, for when you're not looking for fast food and you want to support a local business.

Ordered the #3 and added Blue Cheese to it; not many places get it quite right but Hippo Burgers nailed it. i recommended it with Jalapeños. Service was fast and friendly; Which was good because my group of 3 and i were starving. The burger was not soggy at all, the fries were seasoned well and extra crispy. flavorful and tasty overall. price was reasonable and its a nice cozy vibe. would highly suggest this spot to anyone looking for a quick bite to eat

The bar is always busy and the bartenders are working double duty making drinks for the restaurant and walk up bar customers while providing full service to those of us seated at the bar. So, we understand when the service can be a little on the slow side. We aren't in a rush and enjoy the atmosphere. Shout out to Kenyon! When he is behind the bar the service is top notch.

First off the Bolognese was one of the best I've ever had and I grew up with old Italians who prided themselves in their sauce. Reminded me of home. My wife's sandwich was so big she had to cut it in half. She said it was really good and that they could just serve it without the bun and it would be a hit. Ended up taking half of it home which I finished later in the evening and I have to agree. It was a really good chicken sandwich. And I can't forget the fries. They were great too. Congrats to the chefs on a job well done.

I visited this burger spot after seeing them open a Humble location. I remember visiting the old…read moreConroe location many years ago. From the parking lot, I could smell the grease from them cooking the burgers which was a very good sign. I looked over the menu and was overwhelmed by the wide variety of sides which you can choose when ordering the combo. I just stuck to the French fries since most everything would have been an upcharge and others are also fried and are probably previously frozen anyway. I chose the philly with the shaved ribeye. When it comes out 5 mins later, the presentation is very good. The breaded, seasoned fries are served hot, very hot. The Philly is a small submarine roll that is light and packed with meat which also happened to be very hot. The menu says the cheese is Swiss, but it is obviously not 100% natural Swiss and there are no holes. It also leaves a stickiness in your mouth like other American cheeses. It's likely a Swiss- American blend. Service is excellent here and the cashier is a true character and reminded me a little of Damon Wayans. Considering the cheese they use, I personally prefer the philly over at Lenny's on the west side of Humble. If they had provolone as an option then I would certainly bump it up because their bread here is pretty good and light. On future visits, I will definitely have to try their burgers, especially the 1lb burger and the Texas Monthly burger, as well as the steak fingers and chicken fried steak.

We try to support local Kingwood are restaurants and hadn't been to Union Kitchen in quite a while. We arrived and asked for a table for 6, the dining room was busy so they said it would be a few minutes. Then 3 more of our group we hadn't expected arrived and the hostess quickly let the servers know to make our table larger. We only had to wait 8 or 9 minutes and were seated in the side dining room which was great as it was not crowded so it was easy to talk without a lot of ambient noise from the more crowded main room. I believe one of the assistant managers began taking drink orders as our designated server was finishing up some tables nearby. She had a great sense of humor and quickly went to get our drinks. FYI, they have both an All Day menu and a lunch special one which we hadn't seen before a their website so that is an option and is a bit less expensive with smaller servings than the All Day one. As it was April 15, they had a special small Tax Day menu where everything was prices at $4.15! What a cute idea! We all ordered our lunches and soon we were enjoying what was brought out. I had the special lentil soup and the blackened salmon tacos, my wife had the 1/2 lb classic burger and the house made potato chips. Everything was excellent. Glad we stopped by for our group lunch.

We saw it online and loved the vast menu selection so we thought we'd give it a try. From the exterior, it doesn't look like much almost looks like you could be walking into a craft store or a boot barn cause it's just in a shopping mall strip center. But once you enter inside, the dark wood, the wine bottles, the lighting all creates a very nice ambience of an upscale restaurant. We were pleasantly surprised. We were just grabbing a bite to eat before a movie and this place turned out to be much nicer than me. I previously anticipated. We decided to order off of the Happy Hour menu so that we could try several things. We got the queso dip of course...because, when in Texas...We also got the crabcakes and a cheeseburger with truffle fries. They had some great drink specials, but we got ice tea instead. That was plenty of food for two of us to share. Out of the three items that we ordered off the Happy Hour menu, I would say the cheesburger was the best! The bun was small enough to not be overwhelming and the meat had a very nice barbecue taste. The crabcakes were OK as was the queso. Our waiter gave excellent service! Can't remember his name, but he was tall and I believe had dirty blonde hair. The entire meal was super yummy with excellent service and convenient. Couldn't ask for more. We definitely recommend this place. We wanted to get beignets for dessert, but we were too full to order anything else. Oh and if you go at Happy Hour, even if you're not drinking, everything on the Happy Hour menu is 50% off. Check it out!
