Bacon avocado burger combo
Chee Keat F.

This is a burger joint with simple but tasteful interior. You place your order up front and the staff will bring it to you when it's ready. The burgers are huge, juicy and delicious. It's mostly standard fare - not many creative options - though they do have a double-patty burger called the 'Crazy Burger'. A burger with the combo easily hits US$15+. That's the only thing that prevents us from coming back frequently.

AVOCADO BURGER
 Certified Angus Beef®, avocado, (with or without) cheese, mayonnaise, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and onions

Im glad this place doesn't... On my recent visit [01/05/24], I was reminded why I highly recommend this place. The location isn't important as it's easy to miss if you're not actively looking for it. The service was decent, just as I expected, but let's focus on the food. I always order the "AVOCADO BURGER" whenever I visit, but this time I decided to try the FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH while my friend went for the DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER. In the interest of reviewing both, we split the sandwiches. I let my friend take the first bite so I could see her reaction, and she was so impressed that she couldn't help but dance in her seat. The standout feature of this restaurant is that they actually season their meat, which may seem obvious, but it sets them apart from the rest. The chicken sandwich was also delicious, but I felt there was not enough chicken compared to the amount of fried skin. Despite that, I will be back again and again as I work nearby. I just wish there were more locations in the northern part of Houston. Im also glad that management improved the scent of JLB, now I can 100% recommend it. Sadly the pictures are from a previous time so you guys get to see my favorite burger - AVOCADO BURGER - Certified Angus Beef®, avocado, with cheese, mayonnaise, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and onions. Update I did get a picture lol

Chicken strips

After years of eating at JLB, I've felt the inflation in their menu, especially since Covid. . Also I've noticed that some branches are called joy love burgers while others are called JLB eatery like this one. Im not sure what the difference is. Sadly, I've stopped going to JLB eatery as it's become too expensive. Last trip which has been a while, we ordered the Buffalo ranch chicken sandwich meal and a fried fish meal and a chicken strip meal. Our items were good in taste and flavor but just not appealing enough to return. The buns in their burgers n sandwiches are home made every day and it's one of the best I've had.

Whatever it's called, the burger with the beef patty and chicken patty together, GET IT. Eat it in one sitting or take the rest home, it's still gonna be good. And the fries. Get those fries y'all. Portion sizes are huge and worth the wait!

See all

We came here thinking it was a Greek Mediterranean restaurant, but I was a little confused…read more It's an R&B lounge, hookah bar, middle eastern, American and Mediterranean restaurant. They were playing great R&B music throughout the night. There was only one server for the entire place inside and outdoor patio. He was really great, but extremely busy. There are items on the menu that are not available and items available not on the menu. We ordered hummus plate, mozzarella sticks and samosas. They were all good except the samosas that tasted liked a frozen boxed item. We also ordered a burger, chicken sandwich, wrap, and meat platter. The food was good, but nothing fantastic. The meat platter was a bit dry and bland.

My husband and I attempted to patronize this place for dinner yesterday. When we walked in there…read morewas one party of 5/6 ppl in the entire restaurant, so not full at all. The party was smoking hookah so there was a strong smell in the air. But we were willing to endure it. When the waiter came to take our order, I ordered a Diet Coke. The waiter was not sure if they "still" had Diet Coke. After a cpl or seconds of back and forth he concluded that they did not. NP, I ordered water. The same thing happened to my husband, he tried to order three different types of drinks and settled on water. Then came the food order...I tried to order beef kabobs, which they were out of. The excuse was that because they get busy for lunch, all the kabobs get ordered then. (This was on a Saturday...) I settled on steak kabobs. Then my husband tried to order lamb shank, nope they did not have that either. At this point, we thanked the waiter and informed him that we wld go somewhere else. He said ok. That's it. Kind like ok, don't let the door hit on the rear on the way out.

Amazing food, excellent service. The plates are big enough…read moreand excellent presentation. I love it

We came here because of their amazing reviews. I have to say that the reviews lived up to the hype…read more I am so happy when that happens. First and foremost is halal!! Thankfully, the food scene in Houston is so great, that we don't have to settle for mediocre halal food, but this is not that. The customer service was great. I didn't get the name of the girl who took my order, but she was very sweet and helpful. She let me know that getting a combo was a $3 upcharge, and it got us a drink and a fries. I chose a Mexican type orange soda and it was delicious. The fries we got came out cold, but they got us new fries that were nice and hot so and the counter girl apologized for the fries that we got before which seemed hard, old and cold. So no harm no foul. I got the original burger, and it was really good. I like that it had caramelized onions and it just tasted very fresh and like the other of you said a hundred percent grass fed halal meat. We also got the hot chicken sandwich, which my husband preferred, because he liked the coleslaw addition to the sandwich. We also got garlic parmesan wings because of a picture I saw online, and I have to say the picture looked better than the actual wings.They were quite salty. I would not get those again. The establishment looks clean.The customer service was great, and besides the fries mishap, our food came out in a nice orderly time and was fresh and hot. I would definitely recommend to come here!

"Celebrating Mama Bear" 04-18-26…read more My family and I visited Cutten Kitchen together for the first time, and we absolutely loved it. My eldest sister was the one who searched for places to celebrate our mother's birthday, and she definitely picked a winner. She felt like this would have been a restaurant our mom would have truly enjoyed if she were still here on this earth, and she got it right. Let me count the reasons why Mama would have loved this restaurant: the aesthetics, the well-seasoned food, the lively vibe, the soulful energy of the atmosphere, and the wonderful customer service. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the hostess, Victoria, whose professionalism and mannerisms were spot on. She was so friendly and welcoming. She held the door open for us when we entered, and she even held it open again when we left. Our server, Daniella, matched that same level of professionalism. She was not intimidated or nervous by our group at all. She greeted us warmly, introduced herself, and took our drink and appetizer orders with ease and confidence, which let me know she knew exactly what she was doing. She also offered great drink suggestions that we really enjoyed. I do not want to bore you with a long, drawn-out review, so I'll keep this part simple. The atmosphere is welcoming, with music playing at a nice medium volume through the overhead speakers. The dining room is extremely spacious and clean. Food Ratings: Fried Catfish/Shrimp Platter - 4/5 Both were fried to perfection, with nice crunchy edges and a soft, succulent, meaty texture inside. However, it was a bit too salty for my health. Fried Fish and Grits Platter - 5/5 My younger sister said she could taste the authenticity of Black culture in the well-seasoned grits and she enjoyed them. The CK Burger - 5/5 My son said this burger was delicious, and he tore it up too! The CK Patty Melt - 5/5 My eldest sister said it was delicious and felt like it melted in her mouth with every bite. Salmon Bites Appetizer - 5/5 Fried to perfection and surprisingly not too salty. Fried Plain Wings/Lemon Pepper Wings/French Fries - 5/5 Everything was served piping hot and extra crispy. Deviled Eggs Appetizer - 5/5 Everyone around the table loved these babies. My eldest sister said she did not care too much for the fried chicken tender on top, but overall, they were still a hit. Dirty Rice - 1/5 Too salty and too greasy for my liking. It also lacked the authenticity I was hoping for. Mac and Cheese - 5/5 According to my daughter, the mac and cheese was a 5/5. However, it did have a spicy kick, so my son gave it a 4/5. If you like spicy mac and cheese, then you will probably love theirs. Collard Greens - 5/5 This item stole the show for me. The collard greens were delicious, not too salty, and seasoned just right. Here's the shocker: instead of using pork in their collards, they used turkey neck. I was genuinely impressed because a lot of people believe pork is the only way to get that deep, flavorful taste in greens, but Cutten Kitchen proved otherwise. Blueberry Lemon Drop - 5/5 This drink may seem girlie, but it hit like a man. Sitting Sideways Cocktail - 5/5 This one hits just right and gives you a nice little buzz. Pineapple Upside Down Crown - 4/5 It was a little too sweet and did not have enough liquor for me, but it was still delicious after I poured an extra shot of Crown in it. Overall, Cutten Kitchen is an upbeat, lively, and soulful establishment that offers some of the best Southern cuisine in the area. I highly recommend this place if you love authentic soul food, great customer service, and a vibrant atmosphere. FYI: Parking is plentiful, but it would probably be best to make a reservation beforehand. I have heard this place can get packed.

We drove over 30 minutes in a bad storm for the live entertainment that never showed that lost them…read morea star, but we were hungry so stayed for the food, which according to other reviews was really good. I beg to differ. I ordered the Corn dog, Mac n cheese, fried okra and the honey butter corn bread was complimentary. I had asked for my okra extra crispy and not only did it come mushy, but it was also pretty cold by time it reached the table. The Mac n Cheese was cold and so greasy I couldn't even finish it. As for the corn dog, it was the only thing that showed up hot and it wasn't even cooked all the way through! It was all golden looking on the outside, but mushy on the inside. The service was basically non existent and being busy wasn't the reason. We're going to end this review on a positive note because I truly dislike writing bad reviews, but they are necessary for the sake of honesty. The ONLY reason they're getting the two stars is for the cornbread which was an ooey gooey, honey buttery mouthful of happy and would be the only thing I recommend (of what I had) there. I would have sent everything back had I been able to locate our waitress. I don't recommend this place when there are so many others that are way above them in quality, quantity and cost for what you get.
