Burger is okay, it's really big. I do like the potato buns they use. Fries are gross. I ordered Cajun fries, they were not crispy. They are very much low quality frozen fries for almost $4. You could buy a bag of frozen fries from H-E-B that would be better.. The service sucks. Having a rude worker really irritating. Like girl, could you look any more miserable? You signed up to work here. read more

Hippo was a nice surprise! It was quiet inside, and I don't know why, it is great food. We ordered at the counter and then sat down. It didn't take too long to get our food. I got the Hippo Mushroom Burger. It was way more food than I was expecting. The burger was thick and juicy, with a great seasoning level. The fries were also cooked well, a nice golden brown. Great food, great service! read more

Let me start by saying I LOVE burgers!!! I consider myself a burger aficionado as you see in all my previous YELP postings. I am in this part of town probably once a month and I try to visit different restaurants when I can. I found Hippo Burgers on YELP and was very excited to visit. I mean Angus beef burgers!!! How can you go wrong?? Well they did. Reading other posts that state that these are great tasty burgers compared to McDonald's says it all. A comparison is a very low bar. My order was the combo platter which included fries and a drink. My expectation is for a burger to be juicy to the level of it being runny and sometimes messy. I found this burger to be overdone and not one drop of juiciness. NOT ONE DROP!! I ordered it with bacon and jalapenos. The burger had no flavor it was meh. Not even the Jalapenos, no heat at all. The cool part is that they had 2 different ketchups: normal and a Jalapeno one. The Jalapeno ketchup was tasty. Plenty of bacon. The fries were hot and crispy but some were simply blacken chips. The restaurant was super clean. They had a man immediately wipe down the tables once you were finish. I was there at lunch time, 12:30?, on a Friday afternoon and the restaurant was pretty empty. 1 table was filled fellow workers and maybe 2 others that had solo clients. To me not a good sign especially when the next door restaurants were full and a constant flow of customers. The price was quite low! The staff were very friendly but I walked very disappointed. read more

The young lady was not really pleasant but I ordered anyway!!! Love the sweet potato fries burger was not special.... Being friendly would help versus being nonchalant ! Don't plan on going back . Wasn't worth the money .. read more

The burger was delicious, the fries were just okay. However their beverages selection was not so great. The service was great, the food was a little on the pricey side I was not to happy sending $30 for two hamburger baskets. read more

3 1/2 stars - you know, more than just okay at three stars, but really not four. In this case, I lean more toward four than three since I have returned several times. The burger is okay, the bun is better than okay. The lettuce and tomato were crisp and fresh. The fries are thicker cut, and seasoned (if you like them that way). They also offer chicken and a veggie burger, as well as salads. You can dress up the burger and/or fries, or have it plain. They have sweet potato fries and tater tots. On repeat visits they are consistent. read more

So Good! So Fresh.... I'll be back, Over and over and over again. Don't forget to get a shake and take for the ride home read more

Spoke with this lady at 5324 Atascocita Rd. in Humble,Texas location I explained to her about the not being the chicken sandwich and just pieces and she assured me that out to me and here it is two months later and no one called or reached out so the service in Pasadena is where we purchased the burgundy chicken sandwich. The service Nicer when it was only guys working there and then they switched until all ladies and problems don't happen. read more

This was my very first experience at this establishment, which to be frank, it was sub par. I gave it a 3/5 rating, but I would have done a 2.5/5 if I could. First and foremost, my friend and I weren't certain if this establishment was even open, there were no posted hours on the door, and the open sign was off. This isn't something that sways my rating, but it's a subtle reminder to the staff. The menu was vast, with many different options, which is always enjoyable! I asked the young lady if she had any suggestions, which she provided me with some of her favorites, and top sellers. I decided to go as basic as possible, which is how I like to judge a place for my first time. I ordered the bacon cheese burger how it came, the young lady reminded me I liked the thought of the garlic fries, and suggested that as my side! Great job on her part. I also order the cheese sticks.... Let's talk about the cheese sticks. $10.55 for basic, average sized cheese sticks, don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with average, a lot can be done if you know how to use it. But $10.55 for run of the mill, frozen cheese sticks, which mine were infact still frozen on the inside. I was excited to "Lady and the Trap" these sticks with my home boy, but was rudely disappointed. Imagine feeling some type of way, expecting to share an intimate moment with your guy best friend, expecting long ooey gooey white stuff pouring out your crisp stick, just to bite down on firm congealed cheese. Needless to say, the cheese sticks are a total no, $10.55 for 7 unimpressive cheese sticks is outrageous... let's talk about the garlic fries, listen, I know I ordered garlic fries, but guys.... I was expecting possibly some fries, tossed with a bit of butter, garlic, and maybe some parsley. But what I got was a spoon full of Jared garlic on top of my fries. It's one of those situations where, technically you got what you ordered, but we are working with prison cell practices here.. One last thing, while ordering, the kitchen staff just standing there staring at you is a bit unnerving. To feel like a chimpanzee in a zoo is how it feels to order your food here, O_O. Now, the burger was great! Which technically is the whole reason I came here, I was very satisfied with my burger experience! Plenty of meat in your mouth, and that's what we are all here for! Lil pink, moist, just how daddy likes it. All around, there's improvements to be made, I think this place has the potential of being a 4-4.5/5 star establishment! P.S. if the girl behind the counter was above the age 18, call me. If not, wait a few years then call me. ;) read more

Love the burgers. They are like the kind you'd make for your family. Hot, big and super tasty. I think it's rare to get a burger that doesn't seem to be made in an assembly line. The place is large enough for a decent size crowd with plenty of seating. Save me a seat because I'll be back! read more

A solid burger from a local chain. Good taste , potato bun ( not too thick). Good shakes. A single patty with cheese for over 9$ and shakes for almost 7$ was a little much. I didn't like the onion rings . They were the super crispy "bag type" and they were "hard fried" . Overall, I would return. Place was clean with good restrooms. read more

Hippo Burgers are an old fashioned burger, delicious!!! Restaurant is nice and quiet atmosphere!!

It was just ok. Nothing special. We probably won't go back again. Portions are large but nothing I was super excited about eating. The sides all tasted like your basic packaged/frozen items-tots, onion rings, fries. They serve Pepsi products which is always a negative for us. Both of their high-chairs were broken and dirty. read more

Almost last year, my aunt had told me about this place and I said I would try it one day. So i decodes to give it a try and I am definitely loving the food and service. No doubt I am giving them 5 stars. It's so much better than Mcdonalds for sure lol. I am happy to give this review to the people to work at Hippo Burgers.

Upon opening my burger I found a hair right away on my bun! Tried out this place because it's been the hype, I ordered a kids burger meal and my husband ordered a Mexican burger. My husband gives his meal a 8/10 and I would say my meal was a solid 5/10. read more

The burger was good. Service was fast and the ambiance is cute. We will be returning frequently.

Found this gem while in the area! Great food, great service. Highly recommend you give a try. Order 3 special burgers and 3 orders of the onion rings. read more

I would rate them higher, but it was my first visit to this place. Unfortunately, the lady who took our order didn't greet us and seemed quite annoyed, giving off the impression that she didn't want to be at work. The kids' meal cheeseburger didn't quite match up to Five Guys, though I'd give the food portion a 7/10 because the servings were generous. I ordered the kids' cheeseburger with Cajun fries. Overall, I'd rate them a 6.5/10, with the 6.5 primarily attributed to the portion size. My recommendation would be to have the young lady move to the kitchen and place more friendly staff at the front counter. read more
