Food was excellent and a lot of it for the price. Definitely will be back. Fries might look generic but were crispy and had a great taste. The wrap I got was huge and so good. My daughter got the chicken sandwich. I'll let the pics do the talking. Would've been 5 if not for this. Only complaint: restroom. There's not one available to the public, regardless that this location is attached to a gas station convenience store. This can't pass health inspection. read more

My boyfriend did a takeout order at JLB Eatery on Franz Rd and honestly, it was a mess. I ordered the 2 fish & 6 shrimp combo--half Cajun, half London style--and it was a disaster. The shrimp had way too much breading. The onion rings looked like they'd been swimming in grease; there's no way I could eat them without feeling like I'm raising my cholesterol by the minute. The Cajun fried fish was paper-thin, basically just breading with zero seasoning. As a matter there was absolutely no seasoning on anything. And to top it off, no condiments came with my order. My boyfriend got The Crazy Burger. True to the name, it was chaotic, sloppy, and way too much meat. Overall, the food was greasy, over breaded, bland, and poorly seasoned, and the lack of proper condiments made it a real letdown. read more

Burgers are HUGE! Even the kiddos burger meal is big! Great quality meat, fries are always hot seasoned fresh, soooo many selections from burgers to barbecue wraps etc. clean establishment, booth and table seating options. Food a little bit on pricey side but for the amount you get well worth it! read more

Staff was fast and friendly. There are many choices. I went with the English style fish and chips which was ok and the portions were large. The restroom was at the gas station in the same building which was a little off putting. read more

Absolutely Amazing‼ I discovered JLB Eatery while shopping, and I've been enamored ever since that first glorious bite! The restaurant boasts a clean and inviting atmosphere, although the cashier seemed a bit preoccupied with his cellphone. The menu might feel a bit scattered, but trust me--the burger is the true star of the show! The Crazy Burger is my personal favorite, always cooked to perfection. If you're on the hunt for the best burger in Texas, look no further than JLB Eatery! While I wasn't impressed with the fish--it had a very strong odor--the homemade buns are out of this world, and the fries are simply irresistible. Don't miss this gem! read more

Could have been better...yep. Was looking forward to this place. Everything about it was just ok. The atmosphere, the customer service the food. Just ok. We really were hoping for the place everyone raved about. Maybe an off day. read more

The fish was greasy and soggy. My cats wouldn't even eat it! The onion rings needed to be cooked longer because they and the one hush puppy I received were doughy and inedible! The churro I ordered was so hard that I broke a temporary crown off when I bit into it! When I complained they basically told me oh well, so sorry, we will strive to be better next time! Fat lot of good that does me now! The only thing I got that was good was the Dr Pepper. read more

We have tried JLB a handful of times and try to support local small businesses as much as possible. The deep fried jumbo chicken wings were made to order, crispy crunchy and piping hot. However, the Korean Sweet and Spicy sauce tasted like American barbecue sauce with a slight tangy spicy kick to it. The quality of the chicken wings were pretty good, very little cooked blood - no broken bones - little fat under the skin. Unfortunately, the hamburger meat was overcooked and super dry. While we waited for our orders, the owner-operator offered us deep fried Oreos. The decor of the restaurant is nice. However, I did not see a public restroom. Would like to see daily or weekday lunch specials or dinner specials. read more

Had low expectations based on "judging a book by its cover." Lots of these locations in the area, and located next to a gas station. Okaaay. Service was fine. Wait time for food was fine. The burgers came HUGE. Like bigger than my face!! Easily shareable. But into the burger and...omg. It was good!! The bun was almost like a flaky buttery croissant. Tons of Mayo made it super juicy. The veggies seemed fresh and crispy. Lots of pickles. Yum! The onions rings were like super freshly fried, and tasted like from the state fair (meaning, one of those foods you crave, and can only find it at the fair, so you wait all year to go back and get it). Not afraid to come back. Ha! Give it a try! read more

My husband picked up two cheeseburgers and fries. They were so saturated with salt we could barely eat them! There is no reason to pour that much salt on any food! We will not purchase any food from this place again! Sooooo disappointing!!!!!!!! read more

Listen, I know everybody's all about the burgers but can we talk about the fry selection for a minute please?! Whoever made this menu is a kindred; there are like a gazillion different ways you can get your fries. You want waffle fries? They got 'em. Curly? Got 'em. Shoestring? You betcha. Oh, you want cheese on top?! THEY GOT YOU FAM! The magical fry selection should be reason enough to give this place a whirl, but then they have these burgers. Burgers as big as your face. They're gigantic and nuzzled between a wonderful bun that doesn't fight you but somehow also holds its own amidst the gloriously juicy ground beef patty. This is not the best burger I've had in Katy, but it is definitely the largest and it's still very good. Would not recommend dining in at this location. It's attached to a gas station so not only is seating limited, it's just not really an eat-in kind of place unless you're in a pinch. Plenty of ordering options available including online and calling in. They're also offered on many of the popular food delivery platforms if you're just not feeling the human interaction. We've used both the carryout and DoorDash options and both were great. read more

Such a wonderful hole in the wall burger joint in Katy! Totally very unassuming from the outside and when you're walking in, totally dissonant from the inner decor. Such a pleasant homely feeling with uplifting messages on the wall and 2 different backdrops for pictures and hashtag posts. The inside is kept very tidy and neat and owned by a sweet Korean family. The service was amazing and the owner at the cash register took the time to go over and explain each section of the menu. We have ordered here before for their fish fry during Lent season. They are very generous with their food portions! This time we ordered their chicken avocado sandwich and bbq burger with tater tots. The tots were perfectly seasoned and fried. The burger and sandwich were MASSIVE! I swear you could make 2 meals out of the burger alone. I attempted to finish my burger and could not. Everything tasted fresh, the bacon was crispy and there was nearly a full avocado in the chicken sandwich. We were very content after finishing our meal! We can't wait to go back and try more of their menu to continue supporting our local businesses. read more

This place isover hyped. The meat is chunky and dry and it's very overpriced for what you get. The bread is like 3 inches thick. I do not recommend coming here. Also the Customer Service is lacking. Most everything else is frozen. The wings were disgusting. I really wanted to like this place but unfortunately I won't be coming back. read more

Amazing food, had a hamburger and fries. The decor is great, it's super clean and they even played Christian music!

The food is always good. I like the new seating layout, but I do miss the Christian music.

The burgers here are MASSIVE. You definitely get your bang for your buck here. We got the bacon avocado chicken burger and bbq burger with tater tots. The tater tots were very crispy! The burgers were a bit difficult to hold up and eat since they're so massive but that is a problem I don't mind having. It can get messy though so I would probably recommend taking this home to eat instead of eating it there. Flavors were good and definitely recommend both of the burgers we had. We also had their fish and chips when we first tried this place and they give so much food! Definitely recommend that if you want to eat a classic fried catfish filet. They have such an extensive menu so there are plenty of options to choose from. read more

KATY, TX / BURGERS, FRIED CHICKEN, FISH & CHIPS / 06-18-22 / TAKEOUT DINNER +Made-to-order comfort food. +The chicken tenders combo (13.95) was huge and well-seasoned. Super crispy and juicy. +Very excellent customer service. They were giving out Deep Fried Oreos for Father's Day weekend. Grace was nice, energetic and super friendly. +The toasted bread is nice 'n' fluffy, similar to the milk bread you find at Korean bakeries. +They have funnel cake fries. -The hot wings combo (15.95) was breaded :( They got really soggy by the time I got home. Overall, I would go back to try some more dishes, since it's so close to home. Go check them out and give them some Yelp love y'all! read more

Do you know how hard it is to find even a decent home style hamburger anymore? Everything is some premade patties from Sysco or Ben E. Keith, or they're just plain bad. I stumbled across this little gem in Old Katy while I was meandering around headed to get some tacos elsewhere. I pulled over and checked it out on Yelp to get an idea if the burgers had 'the look' I've been seeking for so long. It had the look, so I busted a U-ey and pulled in. Lydia, one of the owners is super charming and genuinely happy to take care of every customer. She greets everyone with a smile and bids them farewell with a genuine personality. This burger met and exceeded all of my expectations. If an old school burger from yester-decade is something you long for then your search will end here. I'm sure the rest of the menu is fantastic too, but this burger is legit af. Lastly the interior is extremely clean and super cute -- Pinterest inspired for sure!

I downloaded yelp just to leave this review!! We just had hurricane barryl last night, and me and my family were looking for somewhere open to eat. This is going to be my new spot, walking in I'm hearing all of my favorite Christian music. I LOVE LOVE that I get to sing along while eating some delicious burgers. Also the food here is unmatched, that's just one of the many pros to this awesome place. An employee came around with free fried Oreos which were also SO DARN GOOD. We looked over and saw the owner telling us to eat them, it was just so so sweet. This place is clearly anointed, and the service and the food is made with love. MEW FAVORITE PLACE! read more

Hamburger was uncooked and raw. Manager owner said her restaurant cooks burgers this way! Fries tasted like they had some Fish juice added to them. I assume they deep fry their fish and fries with the same oil. read more

Great food but they do take awhile for food to be ready. 40 min just for wings it pretty long after being told 10-15 min.

We have been coming to this location since it opened in April of 2022 (we stumbled across it when we realized our Churches chicken was gone... lol). We have eaten here many times and it is always great! I remember being so blown away with the taste, the value and the service from the start. We did have a couple other 'favorite' local burger places (we've lived in the area almost 15 years) but once we ate here, this is now our only go-to spot. We just ordered out again last night and I'm still amazed by the value and quality. The burger I got last night (the same as my first one from them) was massive! I generally get 3 full meals out of my one Burger (how is that for cost savings?!). My wife luvs their fried fish meals, which is usually the craving that gets us in the car to go there ;) . We have tried most of their menu items and never had a bad one or experience. So for about $35 total we get 2 -3 meals from all we get each time and can each try each others different foods. The food always reheats wonderfully (air fry), burgers, Cajun fish, fries, fish & chips, onion rings, fired and grilled chicken sandwiches, wings and lots more. With everything being so expensive these days (especially in eating out) we are so glad this place is still thriving and delicious and such a great value for our $$. Always a laid back dining experience when we eat there and the whole place is nicely laid out and comfortable (and spotless). Super nice people running it too. Take it from two people who cook for their livelihood, we HIGHLY recommend giving it a try. :D read more

It is my family's favorite burger place. And we are lucky that it's right down the road from us. The food is delicious. The burgers are huge. My son loves the buffalo chicken strips. We have loved everything we have tried. I go with the double meat cheeseburger every time. It is so delicious. Also get the order of tater tots. The staff is extremely friendly. They even recognize this for me to come in which was extra special. It can get busy there so you can call in your order. If you have not tried them, you must do it ASAP. read more

Firstly, I'll start by saying that the service was really great. It was my first time and the cashier helped me decide what to eat. She was very sweet. The restaurant itself is very clean. The food was really good. The owner or manager even was passing out sweet potatoes snack. We got the crazy burger and buffalo wrap. I recommend both, but the crazy burger is definitely large in size and maybe much if you're looking for a lighter meal. You should get it if you're really hungry. I will say it is large portions and the food looks just like what it is on the menu. We will definitely come back! read more
