JLB Eatery - Royal Oaks - Combo plate fish and shrimps with fries, onion rings and hush puppies. - Burgers Near Me - Houston, Texas

I've been here a few times and this has become my favorite burger spot. When I asked some friends what is the best burger spot in Houston, they said Joy Love Burger so of course I had to investigate. I assumed this was an offshoot of that based on the initials and I don't think I'm wrong. The burgers are always good here! They season the meat, which gives it that extra flavor. To me though, the star of the show is the croissant like bun. It's always so soft and delicious! It's also nice that the kids meal is a decent size burger with fries and a regular drink. Can't beat that for a small person like me! The staff is always friendly and I've never had a bad experience here. Can't wait to go back for my next burger. read more

JLB Eatery - Royal Oaks - Kids Cheeseburger Combo - Burgers Near Me - Houston, Texas

Why didn't I discover this place earlier? I was surprised how close I was from my location so decided to stop by for lunch. The staff were super sweet and nice. There was lots of seating and a self serving style. I also noticed they had color pencil and paper bags for the kids to do. I order 2 of the comb of 2 piece fish and 6 piece shrimp (Cajun style). Which came with 3 pieces of onion rings, a piece of toast, 1 hush puppy, and some fries as sides. Everything was fried to a perfect crisp but wasn't oily and didn't become soggy. Though I wished the fish and shrimp had a little bit more flavor but it did come with your choice of tartar sauce or cocktail sauce which helped. I also ordered the fried Oreo which had a super nice crispy outside and soft inside. Overall, I highly recommend coming and trying their food. I have to come back and try the rest of the menu. read more

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. read more

JLB Eatery - Royal Oaks - Burgers Near Me - Houston, Texas

Been here a few times with my office and we've also done food to go- every time is awesome! Staff is super friendly always - they honestly look like they are happy and having fun and know good hospitality and that's amazing to see. Even with our big group the food has always been hot, fresh, and fast. Great for lunch breaks, takeout, and dinner. read more

I was quite satisfied with my experience at this location. The food was decent, the restaurant was clean & the service was awesome. Expect to wait about 10-15 minutes for your food to come out which isn't bad since it's cook to order. JLB prides themselves on making your meal fresh & hot. My friend and I arrived around noon for lunch & it wasn't busy. I decided to order their fried catfish sandwich with chili cheese fries & a 6 piece Cajun wings (flats). My friend got the spicy chicken sandwich with French fries. My sandwich was solid, the batter had good cornmeal seasoning. The fish was a little thin which I wasn't a fan of. The tartar sauce was delicious. My chili cheese fries came out piping hot & it tasted like your standard ball park food. I requested all flats for my wings and they were able to make it with no problem. The wings were fried hard & the batter was good; I just wish the chicken was marinated a little longer. My friend chicken sandwich was very good with a little kick to it but not too spicy. The food was good enough so I decided to come back today to try their angus burger. I ordered the avocado cheeseburger with French fries. I'm not a fan of well done burgers & I'm not sure if they can cook it at medium but they were still good. It still held its moisture & it didn't missed out on any seasoning. The fries came out blazing hot and it tasted alright. Overall, this will be my spot whenever I want some fresh food. Whoever is cooking in the kitchen definitely does it with love and care. The cashier is another reason why I'll come back. She's extremely nice & very accommodating. Till next time. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I've been there twice now. The first time I ordered the double cheeseburger with bacon and avacado and the small sweet potato fries. Luckily my wife was just down the street as it was definitely too much for me to eat by myself. Everything tasted great. My wife doesn't normally like sweet potato fries but she loved these. The 2 young ladies working there were both very friendly, helpfull, and attentive. Came back in today just to get an order of sweet potato fries for a snack.Think I'll have to try the fried oreos next. read more

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! read more

This place is an amazing gem. We are from out of town and were looking for to a local place to eat and JLB's didn't disappoint. This location's owner was so friendly and just a joy to visit with. The burgers are a strong competitor to our local burger favorite. They are 1/2 pound, well seasoned and served on an in house homemade bun. The Cajun fish and shrimp were not salty and cooked just right served with in house homemade tarter and cocktail sauce and ranch. Definitely a must stop when we travel to H town read more

The service at this place is always great. There's never been a time where I wasn't greeted with a good attitude and patience. Now in regards to the food, my family and I love their wings. We've tried almost every flavor and to be honest they're all good so whatever flavor of wings you know you like, it won't be any different if you get them from here. The wings are a kind of big, and everything tastes fresh. Haven't had anything that tastes like it was fried in old grease from this place. The burgers are excellent too as well as the fried Oreos omg. read more

Awesome place to grab lunch! First of all our server Clementine was extremely friendly and helpful. She asked if we'd been there before and when we said no, she explained the menu including portion sizes which was very helpful. Our group had burgers and tenders with a side of fries! Everything was cooked to perfection and was very tasty! We will definitely come back next time we're in the area. read more

Well, we did it again! We were in the area tonight and couldn't pass up another opportunity to eat here. The third time was just as good as the first two! My hubby intended to try something new but after talking up the burger to a first-timer in line behind us, his mouth was watering for one. He went with the bacon cheeseburger and it did not disappoint! I stuck to my intent to work my way through the menu and decided to go with the bacon avocado chicken sandwich combo. Even with all my "hold the" modifications, the kitchen got it right and it was delicious... and huge! I'll be having the rest of my sandwich and fries for lunch tomorrow. Can't wait! Everything we've had has been fantastic and the customer service is top-notch too! There's no question we'll be back. The only question is when and what we'll order! read more

The FOOD was great. We had cheese burger, fish, quesadilla, and the wings. First of all, the bread was so fresh, soft and buttery almost like brioche bread. The toast that accompanies the fish was also like French bakery quality. The Angus beef patty was juicy and seasoned just perfect! The portions are so generous that I thought we wouldn't be able to finish everything, but they were all so delicious that we ate everything down to the last fries. The service is top notch. It was easy to order. The staff explained the menu in detail. The ambiance of the place is fun, chic, clean and perfect for a casual outing with friends, watching a game with friends on big screen tv on every wall. Definitely coming back for more! read more

A damn good burger. The bun is exceptional. The lettuce, tomato, onions, and jalapeños are fresh and crisp. The burger had a nice char, similar to a smashburger without the caramelized onions. Service was great, playlist was enjoyable, and the Oreo cookie desert was positively sinful. read more

You can tell the steak was cooked on a greasy grill that should be cleaned more often. Tasted of rotten char. Whatever oil they are using is nasty as well. And since almost everything is fried here, I'd avoid it. read more
