    I have eaten here twice and it was a decent place. They have wonderful hamburgers and wraps. I also tried shake

    5pcs Fried Oreo

    Food was good and tasty. It didn't take long to get our food and everything was hot and fresh. Service was ok, nothing bad but I think it was because they were a bit busy. Would definitely visit again.

    Catfish and shrimp platter
    Tiffany J.

    5 star for the amount of food given for the price! I got Cajun style catfish and shrimp platter and it came with so much food! The taste was good as well. I also got a Crazy Burger for my daughter, and it was THE BIGGEST BURGER EVER. Nice price, laid back diner style food.

    Onion  rings, onions were not cooked long enough I notified Ms Kim and she treated me with lack of concern. Did not fix issue

    The young lady who took my order was very Nice!!! i ordered a double burger and onion rings. I walked up to an older lady, which I think her name was Kim. I told her that I didn't like the onion rings( the were not cooked properly ( onions were somewhat raw) so I attempt to hand them to her asking could she replace them with a 1/2 order of fries and my request was quickly denied I went back to my seat and thought "how easy it could have been for her to give me 1/2 order of fries, due to the 1/2 cooked onion rings service is not the same anymore I will attempt to show a picture of the rings. I spent a little over 20.00$

    We order burgers all around. The burgers were delicious! They gave us an order of fried Oreos on the house. They were actually pretty good too! The only reason I gave 4 stars was because the tea was awful unfortunately. I chose not to drink with my meal.

    Bacon avocado burger
    Susan H.

    We ordered the bacon avocado burger and bacon avocado chicken sandwich. Asked for chicken sandwich to be cut in half and was told no, that they don't like cutting it in half. Lol. Okay. Not sure why, when we got the sandwich, there were 2 chicken like strips. The burger and the sandwich are huge. The burger was much better than the chicken sandwich. The bread! Always good.

    Nast watered down soap in the bathroom
    Vero L.

    We've always loved the JLB on Stella Link, so we assumed this location would offer the same quality. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. When our food arrived, we weren't given any condiments. The teenager at the counter disappeared into the kitchen, and after waiting about 10 minutes, she never came back. By this point, our food had gone cold. Frustrated, I went behind the counter and grabbed mustard, mayo, and ranch from the fridge where I could see they were stored. When the employee finally reappeared and I explained what I had done, both she and (I assume) the owner just glared at me for the rest of our meal. To top it off, when I went to the restroom, the soap was watered down to the point of being ineffective--possibly a cost-cutting measure. If they're skimping on hygiene in a public restroom, I can't help but worry about what corners they're cutting in the kitchen.

    Crazy Burger -raw meat

    The first time we ate from here it was delicious. That's why we went back but this time. Our meat was undercooked but the manager was not having it. She made sure to tell us she was not wrong and she was not happy we asked to remake it. I will say after all the misunderstanding we did get fried Oreos on the house. And I appreciate it that.

    I'm not joking when I say this, but this is the best burger I've ever had. The burgers are huge!! And the buns are amazing. The fries and onion rings are also amazing too.

    The regular cheeseburger, bacon cheeseburger, and sweet potato fries
    Melanie S.

    My husband and I both said "shockingly good food." I got the bacon burger with sweet potato fries, he got the regular cheeseburger, and it was all unbelievably delicious! They were so flavorful, and the homemade buns were light and fluffy and airy, not dense and heavy, so I could eat more of the huge burger than I usually can at other burger restaurants! The service was good and quick, and the atmosphere was nice! They had one TV playing sports, and one playing old black-and-white movies. I loved the latter. I never see that in restaurants! They had outdoor seating which was really nice, but the eatery is sadly right next to the highway, so it was too loud to talk out there. Nice spot if you're alone, though.

    Kids burger
    Tangerine Q.

    Disappointed that I added fries to a kids meal because they charged an additional 3.50 like they do to adult size burgers but, they give you way less fries. If I get less fries to make my kids meal a combo then I should pay less money to make it combo.

I had opted for a beef burger with a side of chili cheese tater tots to share. The burger is quite large and filled generously with whatever add-ins you check off so it was very filling for me. I went with two 2oz patties, but considering the size, I'd opt for a single 2 oz patty if I go back. For my burger I also added scallion aioli which didn't have a strong green onion flavor but was still nice and added creaminess to the burger overall. The tater tots were super crispy, and the chili cheese topping was nice. I had gone shortly after they opened and it wasn't super busy but it started to quickly fill up around 11:30-12. Decent amount of tables and good parking situation outside

The basic burger is $12, and anything you want to add or replace is extra. Now that's including the basic sauce, which I thought would be an additional homemade sauce if I needed. Again, I am learning. I ordered grilled chicken, but at the counter, a very nice person, Eric, told me they were out of grilled chicken and had fried chicken available. I guess so, since I spend some time. I don't want to wait any longer. I also ordered homemade lemonade, which came with lots of ice. I requested that some ice be removed. I also added chard jalapenos, which were tasteless and slightly burned, so they lost their flavor. The food pick-up area was separate, and the guy who gave you a food tray could have been friendlier and said thank you. Oh well, my burger was a piece of chicken with lettuce and onion. It was ok but very dry inside. So make sure you order sauce or anything for your burger, and pay for it. When I got there, the dining hall was empty. I like this place, but plz if you're going there for the first time, read the menu carefully and place your order. Service could be friendlier, and the dining hall was clean.

    I rarely get the chance (or give myself permission) to indulge in a proper smash burger, so when I…read moresaw people casually walking around POST Houston with this thing in hand, curiosity got the best of me. I went with the Double Good Burger at Johnny Good Burger, and honestly... it was surprisingly good. Perfectly smashed patties with those crispy edges, juicy inside, and well-balanced flavors that didn't feel overcomplicated. Sometimes simple just works--and this definitely did. The fries deserve their own shoutout: extra crispy, hot, and downright addictive. No soggy sadness here. I kept telling myself "just one more" until the tray was mysteriously empty. All in all, a very satisfying burger experience. If you're in the mood for a legit smash burger and happen to be wandering POST Houston, this one's absolutely worth stopping for.

There were no other customers at the time, but that's to be expected for a slow Monday. The menu is quite simple with just 4 different entrees, 3 different ways to order fries, and a few soft drink options in a cold case. Everything here is a la carte but there is a combo option where you can save about $3 off the regular menu pricing. I chose the "Double Good" and added a patty for $3 more figuring the patties are most likely very thin. The burger comes with lettuce, onion tomato, pickles and special sauce. I subbed the American for Swiss, but the Swiss ended up being a Swiss-American blend, so it tasted mostly like American cheese which I hate. I keep having bad luck with Swiss lately. The patty is about 1/4 lb and tastes similar to a home cooked burger. I ended up setting the burger down and just eating the patty with a fork since I didn't like the taste of the cheese, sauce, or the entire burger as a whole after a handful of bites. Overall, I'm glad I finally tried it but this is not a burger I would come back for, especially at this price point.

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
