    From the road
    Nick S.

    I drove by this location while heading to Chinatown, and I made a note to swing by because the vibrant colors truly intrigued me This is a walk up and order at the window type establishment. The menu is listed above the window, and while there aren't dozens and dozens of options, all their offerings sound delicious. I was actually town between which burger to go with I believe there was one attendant inside, but he was helpful, professional, and efficient. I was given a conservative eta, and the food was ready before then If you want to sit and eat there are a few lovely purple covered picnic tables Some tips: Definitely get the snack fries. They give a hearty amount of fries and the sauce is incredible. I also thoroughly enjoyed the Hotline Burger. Looking online it looks like they do catering if you want some delicious foods ordered for work, the big game, a party, etc Cheers!!

    Yes, yes and yes!!! I do love some Hotline Burger, and I was craving it mid-week and wanted to get off my healthy kick for the day. I have been to the Hwy 6 location several times, but hadn't been to this one yet, and the day was nice out, so I decided to give it a go. This location does not have indoor seating, but they do have a patio outside with covered tables which was nice for a day like that. I ordered my food at the walk-up and waited, not too long, and before I knew it, the bag was secured, and the food was ready to be inhaled! I got the Hotline burger, single patty, which was just enough, and some parmesan fries. Everything was super hot, and fresh, and with every bite, I just devoured more and more. It is really hard to go wrong with a Hotline burger when they have consistently stayed consistent. Yep, I said it! They have sustained consistency every time I go, and that is what makes me love them so much!

    This was our first time trying Hotline burger. We always love supporting local businesses! I am so happy we gave it a try! The burgers are delicious! Cooked perfectly! You can taste good ingredients down to the pickle! I ordered the jalapeno burger! Fresh jalapenos and dressed perfect! My brother ordered the classic burger. Now can we talk about French fries!! YUMMY YUM YUM!! I ordered the hot garlic parm fries, my brother ordered the cheese fries. Thin fries cooked to perfection! The seasonings are really good and different! If you are in the Sharpstown area it would behoove you to stop in and be wowed!!! Support Local

    my bride couldn't wait to eat the fries, so they were half gone by the time they arrived at the house

    Been curious to try this burger spot out in front of Strake Jesuit and St. Agnes and finally got the chance recently. While it doesn't seem like there is too much dining in here, I must say the smash burgers are excellent. The fries are very crispy, even after a good 20-30 minute ride home. This place is located on the outskirts of Chinatown on Bellaire and serves as a nice alternative to the predominantly Asian food along the street. Prices are in line with other premium burger joints. We will definitely be back in the near future!

    Hotline Burger is such a hidden gem!! The building formerly housed an ice cream joint which never seemed to be very busy anyway so I'm happy that Hotline Burger took its place! I generally only eat Asian food in this area but after a long beach day, we were craving burgers. Much needed sustenance! We got the junior (1 patty) hotline burger, the regular (2 patties) patty melt, along with the smack fries. Everything was so good! I'm not crazy about onions but their caramelized onions in the burger and over the smack fries are so yummy and it compliments the smack sauce well. The burgers were perfectly charred. If you like smash burgers, I think you'll love Hotline! There is a drive through but it has been closed the last 2 times that I've been. I wish it was open though because I don't prefer to get out of my car if I don't have to (especially in this Houston heat). There are 3 picnic tables out front but they were all occupied the first time I went so we had to eat in the car which got a bit messy.

    HOT AND GARLIC PARMESAN FRIES
    Judy C.

    LOVED THE FRIES!!! Ordered via their website about 5 minutes ahead and was ready within 5 minutes of waiting in the car. Got the BBQ burger and really liked the flavors. It had bbq sauce, crispy onions, pickles and American cheese. The bun was pillowy and the combination with everything paired really well. Also got two side of fries which was the Hot Fries (almost tasted like spicy ramen seasoning) and Parmesan Garlic fries (really tasty and smelled like Wingstop). One of the most crispiest fries I have ever tasted! Really great job. They had the option of drive thru, but this day I went I guess it was closed. Parking - You can park within the Confucius plaza and walk up to order/pick-up the order

    Thomas doesn't like tomatoes. So, don't ask for it. Smashed burger is a trendy dish, I didn't know that. I'm so glad Hotline opened their 2nd restaurant in Chinatown. I was here during a foodie meetup event last Saturday. My friends already ate. So, I ordered mine to go. Well... it's only takeout anyway. I took mine home and I jazzed it up with more vegetables. I'm a picky eater. I have to have vegetables on my burgers. Eating this crispy patty made me want to fry an egg and add extra crispy to the texture. I like the simple concept and the standalone restaurant separate from the rest of the building at Bellaire Gessner Shopping Center aka Fiesta Plaza.

    Don't sleep on this tiny smash burger joint! Honestly I wasn't sure what to expect but the burger is delicious! I ended up getting the hotline with no cheese/add jalapeños. Wow! I think it's the combination of the sauce/pickles/onions that did it! This was a solid burger and if you're thinking of trying this place, you definitely should. It lives up to its rating! Also there's plenty of parking and short wait time. The guy working there was also friendly.

    Literally nothing bad to say about this place at all. Stumbled upon this gem while in the area and I absolutely did not want the typical drive thru at a traditional fast food restaurant. Walk up window at this location and the cutest Cali style patio. The menu is solid and not overwhelming which I love! I ordered the patty melt, the bbq smash (both junior) and the parm fries. All great choices. Cooked well and crispy. The fries were amazing and not greasy which is something I also loved. The drinks are purchased separately and a little expensive. It's located right next to a grocery store if you want but totally just an idea. For myself and my daughter for lunch I spent exactly $26. I will absolutely try their other location near me on hwy 6. Will return

    My new favorite burger joint. Hotline Burger's offerings surpass the much-hyped In-N-Out. Despite arriving just before closing time, we were graciously served by the owner himself, who provided exceptional hospitality without any hint of rushing us out the door. The combination of perfect weather and inviting ambiance created an unforgettable experience. Absolutely DELISH.

Service was quick and friendly, they made great recommendations for first time customers. I actually ordered the wrong shake on accident and they gave me a second one for free.

A standard smashed Double cheeseburger and generous extra crispy impressively seasoned waffle fries as you want it cost $16 which is fair since adding the fries vs standalone burger is only $1 price differential. Clutch City Grill sits next to Burger Chan (the most recent title holder of best burger for my son) but this Sunday, they were not open so we tried the one we didn't try last time--CCG. And let me just say that this place tucked away inside a collective indoor food concession aka The Conservatory Galleria, has every right to boldly don the clutch city burger title. Inside this perfectly grilled almost Hawaiian role type hint of sweet homemade bun is a masterclass of burger perfection, made right in front of you and to your liking based on your selections from the order tap screens. While, waiting, I looked at everything I didn't order as it was being served and I'm almost certain that anything you order at CCG is delicious. Presentation is superb because others were sitting with large selections in front of them that caused me a bit of buyers remorse--I couldn't decide. The vibe is chill enough to talk to the grill master while my son was figuring out his massive burger order--he randomly had a hash brown added to a patty melt. And ordered something to take home or in case one order wasn't enough for the teen appetite. But the food is massive. I cannot stress that enough. Portions of everything there are beyond generous from what we saw and this is the kind of place where there's delivery guys picking up, people working on their laptops and the average joe grabbing takeout after work as well as families having dinner but not crowded. We sat and reflected on a great shopping day in a chill environment and reminisced on the old days of Galleria area last minute back to school night before/we should do this more type of memories in the making. The take something to go plus my own leftover (cutting the burger in half is an open from the order touch screen) and it passed the ultimate test of being really good cold the next day. This place begs the question--where is everybody? I can't be the only one who knows about it. But also was inviting enough to silently confirm that I think we've found our place. One that even has a cool bathroom with a mirror that says "you look amazing." Exactly how you're going to feel about the food that looks even better than it does in its promo photos

Similarly to their more popular location in Memorial (#2), this outside of this Bellaire spot doesn't immediately tell the full story. The interior has an industrial vibe, with the high ceilings and overhead fixtures, but as converted into a solid dining space. The large tilted mirrors in the main area are reminiscent of the now defunct Helen's (#3) and makes for a fun (or perhaps distracting) visual. The spacious layout allows breathing room for all kinds of groups. Service has been good overall, and prompt throughout every visit. The American bistro inspired menu has a decent amount of variety that spans from brunch to a tasty weeknight dinner and a drink. Their starters have a variety of tasty bites that include the white truffle eggs, wicked wings, prosciutto-melon burrata, Mama Pauley's meatballs, and a very addicting chipotle pimento cheese dip. While I appreciate the vegan-friendly hippie chickpea croquettes, it needed just a bit more seasoning. Their bacon double cheeseburger has been deemed "insta-famous" and it certainly didn't disappoint. It's juicy, a little messy, but a lot delicious. It paired well with their large cut fries (consider upgrading to the truffle fries), but the house made chips are also a good light bite. Their salads are equally fabulous from their classic caesar to a hearty cobb salad. I wasn't as impressed with the crunchy Asian salad, but thought their faro salad was a thumbs up. Understandably, the priciest meals are some of their grilled and house specialty meals, such as a prime tenderloin filet ($42), Mediterranean roasted redfish ($36), twelve hour ribs ($29), and rosemary-lemon chicken ($29), all of which are solid. I feel the buttermilk chicken tender platter ($19) is really meant for children, but is great for any tender lover in the bunch. Their weekly "features" are a series of daily specials that range from prime rib nights on Wednesdays and ribeyes on Thursdays, and "kids eat free" specials + their happy hour give folks plenty of reason to check it out. ___________ ( #1) Especially during their seasonal deals which can sometimes include steep discounts.
