    Cheeseburger Combo
    Alex W.

    I've had their cheese burger and their bacon burger, and both are amazing. The bread is surprisingly light, although at first sight looks like a huge bun, and has a very buttery taste. The hamburger patty itself is juicy and very flavorful without tasting like seasoning, so I assume that it is just very tasty beef. The fries are super crunchy, which is my favorite style for fries. When we've eaten there, there's always a crowd dinning in as well as people pick up takeout, but still you'll get your order in about 20 mins on a busy day

    I really wanted to love this place, people seem to like it, but I probably won't go back. They have various locations and this one was just a bit dowdy and depressing. In terms of the food, it was flavorful and they served nice crispy french fries. The burger was very juicy, but it desperately needed to be wrapped in grease paper before being given to a client because it was a good size and trying to hold that soft bun with a double patty resulted in a total mess, with much of it just falling apart and dropping into the plastic basket it was served in. There are no napkins on the table, you have to go to the counter to get them--with a really juicy burger, which it is, you have no idea how many napkins you're going to need and we kept having to go back for more. I needed a proper knife to cut my burger in half to manage it, but realized that the plastic stuff upfront wouldn't do the job. Irritating. The double cheeseburger tasted good, but it was a total mess to eat, a hassle and I'm not sure it's worth it. Desperately needed is a tight wrap so that it can be managed more easily. Fix that and I might go back.

    Half-pound burgers with homemade buns!!
    Angela L.

    The burgers are gigantic! Love the well-seasoned burgers and homemade buns that had to be created to cover the half-pound beef burger!. The fries are yummy, too! We had to come back here a second time before we fly back home, but this time I ordered the kids burger and it was still a big burger! The service was pretty fast. It's a little hole-in-the -wall, but it's clean and most importantly the restrooms are clean. I had the fish n chips the first time I came here a few days ago and they were delicious!! We'll Be back!! Could you pls come to Orlando, FL?

    Every location is a hit ! This is our third JLB we've been to and they all match in quality Big soft buns , plenty of veggie to cut through & delicious patties Always have and will go back !!

    Buffalo chicken sandwich
    Luna Q.

    I ordered the Buffalo chicken sandwich(meal). It has bacon, ranch, tarot tots. There's no way anyone can finish this. No way!!! As I'm eating this halfway my yoga pants started to roll down. Bun is a bit overpowering but don't think chicken and other ingredients are not enough. For $18 I would definitely share this big sandwich.

    Fish Sandwich (Cajun style) with side of tator tots
    Katrina M.

    I originally came for the burgers, but unexpectedly stayed for the fish sandwiches! The burgers are tasty, but the fish sandwiches are incredible. You choose between London style (flour-battered) or Cajun style (cornmeal, which is my preference), and get an enormous portion of perfectly fried fish on a well buttered bun with a side of tartar sauce. They do not skimp on size or flavor here. There's a good variety of sides and dessert options, but the entrees still shine. I've noticed the service is kind of inconsistent, but ranges from just okay to excellent. Ambiance is fine - typical diner vibes, generally clean, nothing special. Plenty of parking since it shares the vicinity with a Walmart. The menu is large, which can be a bit daunting. I tend to be wary of quality when restaurants offer large menus, but I've come here on several occasions with different people and everything I've tried so far has been delicious. - Ambiance: 3/5 - Food: 5/5 - Service: 4.5/5

    Really a very good Double Hamburger Combo
    Yalai R.

    Really a delicious hamburger, the attention and the place are good. The ditas oreo cookies are delicious!!!

    First, I purposely waited until the lunch crowd was gone to stop in. This place is crowded most of the time and I wanted to take pictures, so I waited... Lol. Little by little I'm going to work my way through the menu. It's so many burgers, pita sandwiches, fish and chips, cajun wings, desserts and more. There's a burger with beef and chicken together on one patty. The BBQ burger looks tasty! But I had the cajun wings back in June and loved love. The wings were very crispy and it came with two slices of Texas toast and fries. While having the wings, I saw this oversized burger at the next table and I said that would be next on my list. So, today I got the JLB Burger, it too was good and tasty, but I needed a little more cheese which was added once I came home. I'll be back for the Fish and Chips, that's next on my list. But, little me tell you about this cute place, it's very relaxed, the people who eat here for lunch or the crowd that takes up the space the whole weekend are so friendly, neighborhood people shooting the breeze as well as the people who work behind the counter are just as friendly. I like it here!

    Bacon avocado cheeseburger

    The sweet potato fries and burger were pretty great, but the steak fries were inedible. They were wayyyy too salty and even trying to prevent the wasting of food and $, I tried to eat more but couldn't

    Crazy Burger with tots
    Brett N.

    Why 5 stars? Because this was pretty much everything I hoped it would be. --- --- --- I came across JLB recently and couldn't get the photos of the burgers out of my mind. They looked incredibly appealing, with the buns glistening in such a way that I could hear them chanting my name as I laid my head down on the pillow at night. I shared the Yelp listing with my wife and she did not need much convincing. Off we went. I had hyped these burgers up in my mind pretty substantially, so it's remarkable that they ended up exceeding expectations. The buns were among the best I've ever had -- they looked just like they tasted (buttery), but without being heavy. They did fall apart a bit on my wife's burger, which was cut in half for sharing, but they held up pretty good on mine. The size of these burgers was crazy, but they went down a lot easier than the initial glance led us to believe. The patties were really wide, but not necessarily thick, which made them easier to house. I ordered the BBQ burger and my wife went with the Crazy burger. I loved both, but thought the BBQ was a tad better. If you're interested in the Crazy, but not a big fan of Thousand Island dressing, don't let that deter you, because it's barely detectable. Next time, I will try the Joy Love Burger itself, but wasn't feeling the idea of a burger mixed with chicken. I think the ideal order here might be a BBQ burger with double meat. The fries were also great, and the kids grilled cheese was ideal for our 4-year old. The only knock I would say on this experience is that the girl taking our order definitely did not seem to be in a great mood. Sometimes life sucks, but there's something to be said for even offering half a smile when in a customer service position. The only thing that will hold us back from being regulars here is that we don't live super close, but I definitely would like to keep this on the shortlist when we are in Tomball!

    Double cheeseburger with fries.
    Ron F.

    Well another local win. Had a double cheeseburger combo. Don't came with fries and a drink. WOW. The burger was huge and hand pressed! The fries were hot and crisp. The bun had the texture of a croissant and very fresh. Loved the whole meal. I honestly couldn't finish the burger or fries. Just too much food for $18. Come hungry if you get the double! I usually get a double burger but the next time only a single will be plenty! I would get extra cheese next time as well. I just love a lot of cheese on my burgers. Service was quick and very friendly. Nice little place with about 12 tables. I really enjoyed the meal. I'll be back.

    Picture next to soda cans for size comparison... The burgers are huge!!!
    Marie B.

    Ordered to-go on a midweek evening after work... Just had a random hankering for a good burger and fries. And, JLB did not disappoint!!! They customized our orders perfectly, and everything tasted fresh & delicious! Pictures don't do their burgers justice. Each one is enormous, loaded with toppings, and the patties are juicy and packed with flavor without being greasy. It's the perfect old-fashioned style burger.... Ready to try their other variations! Definitely found a new favorite burger joint!

    Ask the Community - JLB Eatery

    Do they deliver?

    You can get some menu items delivered via Uber Eats and Postmates.

    Is this place BYOB?

    No.

    Do they have gluten-free options? How extensive are they?

    I'm not sure about the Gluten free but they definitely give you MORE than what you pay for which is why I am a repeat customer!!!

    Do they have veggie burgers?

    No they do not. I imagine if you want all veggie they could make that happe. However the only veggies they have (judging by what's on the menu) are: lettuce, onion, tomato, avocado, jalepenos, and pico de gallo.

It came out to be about $90-$95 with the tip. Probably should t of given a large tip . Oh ... I came back and got drinks for an additional $17 for 2 lemonade and Coke Zero. The food was a 4 out of five .. the flavor was absolutely delicious but my wings were really cold and their wings were half the size of wing stop. Something about the ranch was delicious.... It could have been homemade. My wife also got sweet potatoes and they were way better than the fries. For some reason the kids meal didn't let you have a sauce , for only 2 tenders and for it being $11 ... not sure why you couldn't. Before we left we also got to see a tree roach on the ground laying on its back and freaked out my girls. I was surprised to see this place had a 4.7 on Google reviews .... I was hoping for the best wings never had and obviously very disappointed. My wife and kids said... we should have gone to wing stop ... I mean.. for the half the price we would have been very satisfied.

Fast forward to adulthood and I walk into Pizzailos small spot, cozy vibes, but the moment I saw Mike's Hot Honey on the table, I knew this place had upgraded me emotionally and financially. You can buy a whole pizza but the buffet had my feeling like a kids again and the two pasta dishes were available and the chicken in white sauce? So good it deserved its own plate and its own section. Now the pizza. Pepperoni pizza good, but criminally light on pepperoni. Don't flirt with me if you're not serious. Meat lovers pizza?

Pineapple on pizza is a cry for help. Gordon Ramsay said it, I just repeat it louder. Supreme pizza? I've never trusted anything that tries to do that much at once. And let's talk about the sauce on these pizzas. SO. MUCH. SAUCE. I wasn't eating pizzas I was fighting for my life in a marinara flood. One more scoop and I needed a whistle, a floaty, and a lifeguard named Tony. Now I'm not hating because it actually tasted good but maybe let's tone it down a bit. Let the crust breathe. Let the cheese live. Let me eat without needing a towel. They even had a salad bar, which felt like a suggestion. A polite suggestion. I ignored it once but respected its presence. Final verdict: Is this the best pizza in the world? Nay But as a buffet, it obliterates any other buffet pizza in Houston, and CiCi's has been officially retired. Childhood nostalgia has been replaced with adult joy and heartburn. Pizzailos wins. I will absolutely be back with napkins

    New location to Houston area and friends of mine wanted to try and they researched and told me…read morethere are a lot in Austin. So guess they want to expand to Houston market. Located in a HEB lot off 99 and I feel the HEB helps with traffic flow. Bldg looks nice from outside and inside is new and modern looking but sorta basic nothing fancy about it. Basic front counter and 1 small menu board and 1 small drink station. But in my opinion from a business point of view too many workers. The place was busy but not swamped to have 10+ workers. But drive-thru had many cars so maybe I'm wrong. Greeted as soon as we walked in with a worker saying "welcome in" and we placed our order and asked some questions and the cashier/order taker was friendly and helpful with explaining things to us. Prices are low ($3.50 for single and $8 for a single cheese combo) but the burgers are very small...as a comparison they are the size of a Jr burger. I ordered a single cheese without knowing this and my friends ordered doubles. $30 total. On reciept they break down the order and they number the burgers so you know who gets which burger as I added items to mine. The burger comes with lettuce and 1 tomato slice and special sauce (mayo based) I added onions and pickles but did not add ketchup or mustard as I wanted to try the special sauce and see if any good. Fries are thin and have skin on and were really crunchy, the fries were the best part of my experience, the burger was just OK and too small for adult male. My friends got the doubles and said it equaled a single normal size burger you'd get at other burger places as far as how filling the double was. I would suggest ordering a double if you're an adult who's hungry. They also have banana bread which seems odd for a burger place and really good cookies. We tried the bread and cookie and both were really good and sign states fresh made daily in store. Over all good experience but portion size to small for me to go back as I prefer a good size burger
