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!

Chili cheese waffle fries

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.

Walking in, the decor reminded me of the pub in our hotel in Dublin. It was clean, and nothing very worn or damaged. Very clean, cleaner than I expected a tavern to be. The menu didn't have everything that we had seen when viewing online (here), but it had the things hubby was wanting to try so that's all that mattered, and not the first restaurant to switch up menus. Less options for my vegetarian needs than I expected but I got a couple of sides which were very good and a wedge salad which was tasty. It may sound weird but I often judge restaurants based upon their salad ... I mean if they serve me wilted lettuce and questionable toppings, why would I want anything else from them? This was great, super fresh ingredients without the lettuce being watery which is another said pet peeve. Husband tried both the fish and chips and shepherds pie (which he took to go). Fish was fried to perfection, crisp and he said very tasty. He said the pie was great as well. Our server was working the entire front of house, waiting and bartending, and several other tables filled up as we were eating and she handled it flawlessly, and said it was only her third day. She's a keeper (but please get her some help lol). I think likely only one person in the kitchen as well, but didn't impact the food quality or how quickly it was delivered, so overall I was very impressed with the team. Darts, pool, music and trivia rounded everything out. I highly recommend this spot, I think you'll like the food, the drinks, the team and the vibe.

Nothing really has changed over the years except the prices are higher. However they are still reasonable.

It came with 2 sides. One was cole slaw and I asked for hush puppies rather than fries for the other. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that my iced tea was included. Yes, this is an affordable place to dine. My 2 Swai fillets and shrimp were well battered and tasty. You can also get catfish and redfish for an up charge. The hush puppies were large and hot and made this a satisfying and filling meal. Fountain View Fish Market serves very good tasting seafood from a simple menu and at low prices. It's a winning formula!

I wandered in not expecting much, but my experience here ended up much better than I thought…read more I went with their August prix fixe and went with their Truffle Deviled Eggs, Crispy Sweet & Sour Shrimp, and Key Lime Tart. The deviled eggs make good comfort food and was satisfying. This version doesn't have much of a kick, but it's very creamy and you can definitely taste the truffle oil. The homemade potato chips also add to the texture and salt between bites. The shrimp dish was fun with a light and crispy batter, well-seasoned and drizzled with sweet chili sauce. The cool ranch surprisingly added to the shrimp and enhanced the chili sauce rather than overwhelming it. The made-in-house fries were far better than expected. I was somewhat expecting dense, oily, boring fries, but these were very crisp and somehow didn't feel too greasy as far as fries goes. Almost seemed like an injustice for it to be served with ketchup as it was too good for it. Lastly, the tart was a great way to end the meal without it being too much. Loved the crust. The tart shell tasted really good and went well with the filling, which had a lighter consistency than pudding. Fruits tasted like they were on season, even though it should be a bit too late for strawberries. I'm also a sucker for meringue. I'll have to come back to see if it wasn't a fluke, but there were a lot of dishes here that looked good. Maybe even swing by for happy hour, we'll see. Definitely a nice spot to visit in this neighborhood.

The meatballs and tomato sauce were both solid and I loved the toasted bread on the side. As for the truffle deviled eggs, that's something you don't see often on the menu! The truffle flavor/aroma was solid and the fresh chips on top were nice. The cheeseburger was pretty good and I enjoyed all the veggies that came with! Aside from that, the restaurant had a neat interior/decorations and good service!
