    Cornmeal fish
    Tom L.

    I've had my fair share of fish n chips plus burgers. The average American consumes about 3 cheeseburgers a week or 150 a year coming out to 50 billion cheeseburgers annually. I've had cheap and expensive burgers but Jlb cheeseburger has to be top 10 for me all time. I was blown away how good the overall taste was. I was not expecting it to be that good. The best part of the burger are the buns. What!? The bread? Too me it tasted like a fresh baked egg burger, made from scratch. It was nice and soft with ultra fluffy interior. Fresh vegetables, creamy American cheese, and lovely meat patty. Must get a double meat, I recommend with extra cheese. I love the crispy edges on the meat patty, that tells me it was cooked not on a grill. A must try with the house 1000 island sauce and ranch. The white fish cornmeal is great, moist fish with crispy cornmeal, nice amount of salt. I will say for the price under $6 for 1 piece is a little expensive plus it was ultra thin. The London fish style is the best way to go. The batter is nice and beer battered and with the type of batter it doesn't dry out the fish. Add the house tartar sauce and the battered fish was amazing. Plus it was more plump and juicy the white fish. I decided to try out the chili and for $1 it's good, the chili is nice and earthy, great meat flavor, I can see the chunks of meat inside the chili as well. Not too overly greasy and love how it has no beans. Great chili to top on the burger too.

    Simple and quick,,,, Amazing, most likely one of the best hamburgers I've ever had REALLY GREAT

    Cheeseburger Combo
    Casey M.

    The burgers here are amazing. Large, juicy and flavorful while being reasonably priced. Included photos are of the Crazy burger of which a combo with fries and a drink is $18. French fries were crispy. The sweet iced tea was sweet and crisp. I've been here maybe 10 times and the food is always great. Fish sandwich and the other burgers are good too. It's a small, hole-in-the-wall restaurant that has ample seating with tvs. They are always super nice and friendly. Highly recommend.

    Great lunch spot for a burger. The portion sizes are huge. They make a really good, solid American cheeseburger here

    Fish sandwich
    Rebecca P.

    I ordered food from this restaurant for my family. The burger's texture was off, like something extra had been added to the meat besides seasoning, almost like a filler. The tater tots tasted old and refried and were way too greasy. The fries were okay, but still different than usual. Both the chicken sandwich and the fish were disappointing -- the filets were thinner than expected, with more breading than meat, and they were fried way too hard. I usually go to the Stella Link location, but since I was in the area, I tried this one on Richmond. I won't be making that mistake again.

    Double cheese burger
    Klash H.

    I ordered the patty melt and the double cheese burger. The patty melt needed more cheese and so did the double cheeseburger. I intended to eat at this chain for several years and I decided to order. The meat was seasoned and I enjoyed the ample amount of pepper. The fries were mediocre and the tater tots were the same but I love cafeteria tots. I just thought for the price the burgers could be better. More cheese, more veggies, more butter on the patty melt.

    WOW! I have no words other than that. I am new to the Houston area from Southern California, home of In-N-Out. I know GREAT burgers when I have one, and this place doesn't disappoint and lives up to its near perfect ratings. The bread is baked in house and is absolutely phenomenal! The owner, J.R., is a So Cal local who moved to Houston years back to raise his family, and he couldn't have been any nicer to my 94 year old grandma, my Uncle and me. My Uncle suggested taking us here, and honestly I have been thinking about this burger since I left there last Saturday! I got the burger with bacon and avocado and it was nothing short of delectable goodness in my mouth until the last bite. The fries were cooked perfectly and the staff was kind, courteous and kept the place very clean! They had these amazing deep fried Oreo cookies for dessert which were amazing, and that's coming from a guy who isn't a huge fan of sweets. I will be back very soon to try other things on the menu since my Uncle told me their fish sandwich is pretty amazing as well! Thanks for your genuine kindness and making us feel so welcomed while we enjoyed your delicious cuisine, J.R.! I might just be back sometime this week it's that freakin' good!

    I love this place.... But damn, it's a lot of food. Come hungry. We were a party of 6 and had plenty of room BUT most of the booths are for 4 or less. Cute place. I wish them success. Service was top notch.

    We drove a good distance to come here--since we wanted wings and this was a top rated spot on Yelp…read more I was really surprised by all of the positive reviews after I finished eating here. We opted to eat here, since they do have a small counter with a couple chairs and it was a long drive back--we wanted to try the wings fresh. We ordered the spicy honey lemon pepper wings and the buffalo garlic boneless wings. Also an order of fries and some cheese sticks. Sadly, they weren't offering waffle fries, because I was really looking forward to trying those. Out of all of the food, I probably liked the cheese sticks the best, but nothing was impressive to any degree. We had both ranch and bleu cheese, and it was hard to taste a difference between the two. They didn't put lids on some of the dipping sauces, so from the walk with our bag from the kitchen to the counter where we ate, white sauce spilled all over the bag and made a gigantic mess. The spicy honey lemon pepper tasted like mostly honey, but the wings themselves were cooked fine. The boneless wings were tough and the garlic flavor was just overall underwhelming. The fries were about as boring as it gets--I'd guess that they're frozen. The cheese sticks that I mentioned--I've actually had better at Jack in the Box. The guy who took our order was nice and easygoing, but he was constantly talking on the phone outside when not taking orders. To the extent that others who came in to order after us were taken aback and unsure if they needed to wait for him to finish his call. I really wanted to find a local business with great wings to support, but this was not it for me--I wouldn't come back.

First, I noticed that the staff handling food behind the counter were not wearing gloves. Hygiene is important, especially when preparing and serving food, and it was concerning that no one appeared to be following proper food safety practices. At that time, the rotisserie was already being cleaned, which told me they had stopped preparing fresh chicken for the day. Instead, they were serving pre-cooked chicken kept in a warmer. As expected, this made the chicken dry and hard on the outside. I ordered the 1/2 dark meat chicken with yellow rice and Tequeños. However, I was given two small leg quarters and an extra piece of white meat--which I didn't ask for--all of which were extremely dry. The portion size has noticeably decreased as well. I was also very concerned to see them using spray cleaner near the food, which poses a risk of chemical contamination. On top of that, the Tequeños were extremely dark and tasted like they had been refried, nearly burnt. Adding to the poor experience, one of the girls behind the counter was playing around and massaging her coworkers while customers were being served. That level of unprofessional behavior is not something anyone wants to see while waiting for their food. I've always liked this place for its fresh rotisserie chicken, but it feels like DoDo's has started cutting corners on both food quality and cleanliness. Paying $19.52 for this meal just didn't feel worth it.
