We picked up from Hopdoddy on a Wednesday evening. Semi-busy around 6. Spacious dining room with a center circular bar as well ample outdoor seating. About 15 -20 minutes for our Burgers. Although we passed, we had time for a beer given draft selection looked enticing. They cook their Burgers medium well although our kind hostess offered to put in my request for medium. We ordered a Brazilian Wagyu (June special) and it came out medium-Yes! Wagyu beef was tasty. I asked for the Chimichurri on the side but unfortunately it wasn't in the bag when we got home. Also ordered the Wagyu Smash and Classic Cheeseburger which were enjoyed. For sides, Parmesan Truffle Fries were solid and the crispy Parmesan Truffle Brussel Leaves stole the show. A different take on Brussels and was delicious! Service was quick and friendly. I remember visiting one in Chicago and turns out they have locations throughout the US.

Hopdoddy made a good first impression. The service was friendly, and the burger arrived looking ready for its close-up. Unfortunately, photographing it turned out to be more rewarding than eating it. The burger was extremely greasy, to the point that it detracted from the meal. I expect some indulgence from a burger, but this felt excessive, and I had an upset stomach afterward. Even setting that aside, the taste wasn't close to the best burgers I've had. A burger, a side of fries, and a beer came to $30 before tip. At that price, I want a meal worth coming back for. Instead, I left disappointed with both the food and the value. My camera had a better lunch than I did. The staff deserve credit for the nice service, but the burger needs to deliver beyond its appearance. Thirty dollars before tip is too much for a greasy meal I didn't particularly enjoy, and it's certainly not a habit I could justify. read more

Hopdoddy at Rice Village is your typical millennial burger bar. The first 2 hrs are free in the parking garage. I walked in on a Friday around 5:30PM, you order at the register and pick a table to sit down. The restaurant was busy but the food came fast! It's an energetic restaurant but not too loud! I got the doddy melt and I'm not a fan. First impression is was sitting in a layer of grease. Biting into it the sauce didn't shine and the patty was a bit salty. A star off for the grease and saltiness. The hand cut fries and sweet potato fries are great! My friends got the Nashville hot chicken and classic burger which were both a hit! read more

Order at the counter, get a table number, then have the food brought over to you. The system was kind of confusing and there were some table switch-ups, but not too big of an inconvenience. The servers/cashiers varied in their friendliness, but it was overall a very casual, chill ambiance good for casual get-togethers. I got the Roosevelt burger, which was delicious, albeit quite small. The goat cheese added a very unique tang to the burger that was complemented by the cherry fig honey jam. The arugula was a nice touch that added another peppery flavor profile. The bison patty was thick and cooked to a nice pink. I could taste the quality of the 100% grass-fed bison meat. I think the bun is made in-store, but it's not too too special, just a typical burger bun. I enjoyed the complementary flavors and the thought that went into creating this burger. In terms of ambiance, the music was an appropriate volume and the interior design is very trendy and classic, with an energetic feel that is appropriate for a burger store like this. It was casual and family-friendly, yet also clean and well-run. Don't know if I would come here often, just because the price is premium while the burger isn't anything too too outstanding, but it is a solid place to gather with large groups! read more

Me and my daughter are fans of Hopdoddy burgers. Our favorite is the poblano llano burger it's not in the menu anymore and now it's considered part of their "secret menu". This burger has been our favorite for years and we always ordered this one along with some truffle Parmesan fries. The staff was nice, nothing over the top, I mean, it's a burger spot, you serve yourself your dressing and your drinks and they bring the food to your assigned table, the service is fast, and the burgers are always good! read more

Went here on a busy Saturday night and got the wrong burgers twice after waiting 20 minutes and then waited 30 minutes for the correct ones which were still a little off (onions when we said no onions), but by this point I was hungry enough to suck it up. Daimen made it right! Refunded and a free burger. TY Daimen you saved the night. Wagyu smash burger was very good and we ate outside on their cute little rice village patio with all the lights. read more

Had a craving for a Bison Burger... after scouring the internet, we ended up at this location in Rice Village. Per usual, parking is hit or miss. You have to take a menu, order at the cashier and find your seat. Each seat has a number on it, so be sure you know yours. We ordered: Burgers: Cadillac & Roosevelt Sides: Truffle fries & Kale Caesar Just fyi, their sides are huge portions. I'm sure one could feed 3-4ppl w/burgers. I like that they didn't skimp on the goat cheese and my husband liked his burger as well. Very casual ambiance. I wasn't fond of the fact that the fries came out way before the burgers or salad was brought to the table. Other than that we enjoyed it. Enter freely, they've been approved read more

Happy hour will probably be packed with Rice students (beware of slower service!) Big fan of the frozen margaritas, highly recommend the strawberry or passion fruit! Burgers are on the smaller side but they will fill you up. Also must get the garlic truffle fries, pairs very nicely with the aioli. read more

Hopdoddy Burger Bar - Parmesan Truffle Fries - Burgers Near Me - Houston, Texas

Hopdoddy was a solid burger spot with great fries and sauces. We ordered two different burgers everything came out fresh. The service was fine you go up to order and then take a seat. Nice little set up restaurant to hang out and eat. The Parmesan truffle fries were my favorite super flavorful. The seasoned fries were also really good, especially with their dipping sauce. Hopdoddy is a little overrated. The burgers themselves were juicy. The bun was soft. The bacon on the burger was crispy! Overall, good fries and burger and worth the visit. However, it is a bit pricy for a burger.. read more

The service was quick and efficient. The ambiance is nice, industrial but really great patio and play area outside. There was live music which was a fun surprise. The fries are pretty good, just wish they were a bit crispier. The bacon jam burger lacked flavor overall, but still a quality burger. read more

Fast good service. Order correct. Clean restaurant. Friendly employees. Food was delicious.

Came here for lunch! The employees were very welcoming and had really good recommendations. I ended up getting the thunderbird with beef and that was really good. My bf got the waygu smash burger and it was OKAY. The fries were really good as well! Service is super fast. If you want a quick burger bite this is the place! read more

I love hopdoddy! I've been coming to this location ever since they opened. My favorites are the Magic Shroom and Diablo burger. I'm a huge fan of the Parmesan truffle fries and green chile queso fries as well. On my most recent visit on a Saturday night, they were pretty busy but as we arrived around 8:30pm we were able to get a table. The service was very quick and all the employees were kind. Hopdoddy has a sports bar/relaxed restaurant feel to it that I really enjoy. We opted for the magic shroom burger and green chile queso fries, and two margs. The food actually came before the margs and we dove right in! As always, the burger was succulent and delicious. I love the goat cheese but it does make the burger a bit on the soggier side. Regardless, we polished it off quickly and enjoyed our side of fries. The fries portion is sizable so probably better to share with more than two people. Our margs were very tasty and spirit-forward! As always, hopdoddy more than hit the mark. I'll definitely be back! read more

Hopdoddy Burger Bar - Green Chile Queso Fries and Magic Shroom burger - Burgers Near Me - Houston, Texas

Hopdoddy serves up a decent double smash burger. I ordered just a no nonsense burger with American cheese, lettuce and mayo. The buttery toasted bun worked well with the bun to meat ratio. The disappointment for me were the fries. Mine were cold and tasted like they were sitting around a while. I came in at 8:30 and maybe they already cleaned up the fryer and didn't want to mess it up. I didn't order any drinks as the bar offerings were the bare minimum low end spirits with mostly massed production beer on tap. I would come back for the burger, but skip the fries. read more

We also enjoy a good burger especially after shopping around Rice Village. It was a little crowded but the line seemed to move along pretty well. There was someone there that was helping to direct what tables people should sit at based on their party size, I'm not sure if this is something they always do or if it was because it was crowded. The food came out as it was ready. On one hand, it was great because the food was still hot when it came out, but there was definitely a lag between each item being delivered to our table. The queso fries are always a must for us. We prefer to dip the fries in the queso vs. mixing it into the bowl of fries. Both burgers we ordered were so good! The goat cheese on the Roosevelt really made the burger stand out. You can also really taste the truffle aioli and steak sauce on the Cadillac. If you want something different from a standard burger, these are ones you should try! read more

We have picked up food and also dined in and we have had a great experience with the food. The burgers taste really good and the fries are pretty awesome! If you go in the evening, it's likely to be packed and the wait can be a bit long. To go orders typically take long during peak times. The staff are generally very nice and the manager, Vinnie, is pretty great. He's helpful and attentive. Overall, I highly recommend them! Get the app and you'll get some free stuff. read more

Hopdoddy used to be my favorite burger place but my recent experiences have not been impressive. More than a month ago, my husband and I decided to have lunch here on a Saturday after the lunch rush. We arrived at around 2pm but it was still busy, which is normal for this location. We placed our order, got a table, waited for 20 minutes until my husband saw another party receiving their food despite coming in after us. We asked for updates on ours and was told it's up next. The server later delivered our food with 2 vouchers for free burgers. I decided to give Hopdoddy another try 2 weeks ago. The highlight of my Hopdoddy meal would always be the Parmesan Truffle fries - can't go wrong with crisp thin fries with amazing aioli sauce! But the parmesan fries were a little stale this time. I'm really glad I tried the Sweet Potato fries though. They were delicious! I love the hint of heat & sweetness together. I didn't really care for the burger. I felt like the patty was overcooked, fried onions were salty. Overall, the burgers are alright. If I do come back, it would be for the fries. I used to be impressed with the creativity & variety of the menu, not so much recently with the execution and service. read more

The food is always fresh and the margaritas are fire!!! The service is wonderful. The atmosphere is great as well.

Stopped in on a Saturday afternoon, it was very busy, but we were able to get a seat quickly. The staff was friendly and helpful. Be warned the chairs and booths are very tall/high and if you have issues climbing in and out of tall chairs it may be difficult. The shareable hand cut fries come in large bowls with enough fries for 2-4 people, we tried the Traditional. They are of a smaller cut around the size of McDonalds fries. they were not crispy but not soggy. For $7.25 its a good item to share with the table. Loaded nacho Style Fries, $9.50: I really liked these. They are coated in a spice mixed that reminds you of a taco packet. They are covered in liquid cheese , sour cream and pico. Some people may be turned off by the heavy cummin and chili flavor, but I really enjoyed it and just about eat the entire bowl myself. Doddy Melt, $13.50: Overcooked trash. The patties were extra well done and the rye bread was toasted making the usually dry bread even more dry. By the time the sandwich made it to my table all the sauce and cheese had been absorbed by the meat and bread. A few bites in I ended up just tossing the top bread and cutting the burger up so I could dip it in ketchup. Great burger in theory, but the execution of the cooking was so off. honestly a burger like this can ruin a persons day. I also enjoyed a few beers here and the others at my table said their sandwiches were good. Even though I had one of the worst burger I have eaten in a long time I would recommend and return. I think that I would hope it was a off day for the burger and that on another visit it would be better. read more

Hopdoddy is a classic burger spot for me in rice village! I prefer chicken sandwiches, so I stick to the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich. Their thunderbird burger (that I get without bacon) is also great, but I enjoy the crisp of the Nashville. Their Parmesan truffle fries are also a staple - but be warned they are pretty salty! read more

Hopdoddy Burger Bar - Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich - Burgers Near Me - Houston, Texas

This place is very mid, probably a good spot for college students. Food to me is overpriced and it is very dirty, I came in on a Friday night around 9:30, there were tables with food still on them, and trash all over the ground. The bar was not clean at all We sat at table 51, by the women's restroom, and there were fruit flies flying around our table throughout our time there . The food was so so. The sweet potato fries while they looked good , they were very disappointing. No sage flavor, just soaked in honey. Then the daddy Melt was very underwhelming, was kind of put off by one side being a bun and another side being on Ryebread. That didn't enhance the flavor by any means read more

Staff was so friendly and accommodating. Also the bathrooms are better. Thank you for the improvements! Will definitely be back again and again! read more

Plenty seating, clean place, very nice vibes, indoor and outdoor seating, good for big group. The veggie patty wasn't the best. They used to carry impossible burger, that was really good. I doubt I'll be back soon till they bring back the impssible burger. The fries are soo good, defiantly get the regular and truffle fries! read more

This place was wonderful! The food was absolutely delicious. The service was great. We ate outside so the atmosphere was great too. I had the Doddy Melt, my husband had the El Bandito & we shared some sweet potato fries. Everything was delicious & very filling! Pricing was pretty much typical for a specialty burger joint. read more

Got the classic hamburger (my go to) and it was cooked perfectly. I think the fries should've been hotter (got the Parmesan truffle of course), but I appreciate that they're fresh and hand cut. Next time will branch out (have tried the patty melt before and it was a heart attack of a meal but worth it). read more

Just so everyone understands the gravity of my prior reviews, I'm not insane or an unhinged yelp elite, but I had a great lunch visit today and wanted to update. Bartender was super friendly as is normally our experience, attentive and on his game. I dine weekday lunch solo so it's nice to chat with someone too. Anyway... Got a big Larry, the Burger-of-Month and was in and out in plenty of time to sneak back into the office unnoticed. Okie Dokie Smash was oniony and delicious too! read more

So we were looking for something family friendly not too far from NRG. Burgers sounded good so we stopped here. You order at a counter in the back, BUT they will ask your table number so if you have picked a table- know the number! It was my husband and me and 2 early teens. We shared a fry basket (regular) and it sufficed. If you were pretty hungry you prob want more. My husband and I split the Caddliac wagu burger. I think it said 1/2lb, without the fries the half probably wouldn't have been enough. It had a roasted tomato slice (yummy) arugula, bacon, fried onions, garlic aioli, and barbecue sauce. It was really good!! The kids got classic burgers with cheese and ate every bite! We got 3 sodas. Total was $58 plus tip which I felt was fair for the location. They had college football on 4 tvs, we should have scouted our table better. There's a huge patio if the weather was a little cooler. Looked like lots of beer on tap. We'd definitely go back! read more

Hopdoddy is a staple burger spot in Houston with various locations around the area. All locations are pretty consistent too with quality of food, so you won't be disappointed with any site! We got the goodnight/good cause burger which was a hefty burger. The patty was juicy and very flavorful. My personal favorite at Hopdoddy are the huge buckets of fries. Their sweet potato fries are to-die-for!! Their nacho fries were also something new that we tried and was just as delicious. Love that Hopdoddy has both indoor and outdoor seating, making it very spacious and great for large groups. One downside is the price of the burgers...it's definitely not cheap. But you'll find me always returning because of the food! read more

My partner and I visited on a Friday evening recently because we were craving burgers. We're in Rice Village often and pass by Hopdoddy, but this was our first time dining there. It's located among a collection of other restaurants and retail next to a large parking garage that is free for the first 2 hrs I believe. Each restaurant in this plaza, including Hopdoddy, has a large patio/outdoor area between the storefront and the sidewalk/street. Inside, the vibe was like a sports pub with a basketball game playing on tv and lots of conversation among the patrons. The process to order and get a table was kind of confusing because we weren't sure who was in line and which employee would assign us a table or seat us. In terms of the burgers and sides, the magic shroom was tasty, fairly juicy and flavorful with a nice pesto sauce. I'd order again, but it was on the smaller side. The standout was the hot honey brussel sprout leaves. There's just enough of a kick and no burnt flavor you sometimes get with roasted sprouts at other restaurants. We also enjoyed their condiments (the caffeinated bbq and chipotle ketchup). The fries were a big disappointment. It was really odd that they were both chewy and hard - inconsistently cooked and not very flavorful. We didn't really get any truffle or parmesan notes. Also on the negative side was the cleanliness of the restaurant. The tables and drink/condiment station weren't very clean. Overall, there were definitely some highlights but also certain aspects that weren't so desirable. read more

Sweet potato fries were delicious. However the el bandito burger bowl was very one note, extremely creamy slaw which took away from any texture. The burger itself on the bun was fine but ate a bit dry. Ambiance was great, and our server was very welcoming. read more

Burgers were very tasty but a bit smaller than I expected. The shoe string fries were in a large bowl that 3 of us shared. We all tried the Classic burger and I opted for the wheat bun to be more health conscious (less sugar and more grains). When we arrived we were assigned a table since it was quite busy on a Sunday afternoon. There were TVs showing the football games and the atmosphere was pretty cool. We saw different age groups there so it's definitely a place for anyone wanting a good burger or chicken sandwich. read more

I'm a hopdoddy regular at several locations, so clearly I'm a fan. This location is just fine, not an absolute standout but not bad. Togo orders tend to have issues but they are quickly to remedy it! On the most recent trip, I just wanted a shake, so I got their new offering: the candy bar shake. It tasted exactly like an elevated snickers bar! Would I get it again? No, the Nutella pretzel is TOP tier. I'm glad I gave it a shot though. read more

I came here to grab a burger to go and it was very busy but then again it was Friday evening. I placed my order and waited for a bit. Drove the burgers and fries all the way home to SugarLand so everything was cold by the time I got there which wasn't the restaurants fault but the quality of the burger wasn't that great this time. I remember having hop doddy for the first time and thinking it was so great but since trying types of smashed burgers these aren't very appealing anymore. Service is great here and great atmosphere as well. There's a parking garage and parking around the other businesses but it does get busy in the evenings especially on weekends. read more

The burgers were pretty good! I got the cheeseburger which has a fantastic flavor. Maybe a little over done (I ordered mine medium).

This used to be the best hamburger place in town. I used to eat here often and whenever I would have out-of-town guests, I would bring them to Hopdoddy for an amazing regular, wagyu or bison burger and truffle fries. But the last 4-5 times, their hamburger was awful!!!!! Meat was either completely undercooked, after which I have to specify, 'no pink', but then I would get a meat so overcooked, it was uneatable!!! Last 3 (THREE) times the meat was so overcooked, it was like chewing a rubber sole!! The fries were way too salty, it was an awful meal 5 times in a row!!
