Good cook...slight pink in middle
Charlene H.

They now do counter service versus table service. They had decent music on and TVs playing. The burgers were cooked to a nice slightly pink middle but could be moister Good seasoning. The fries were either old or just meh. The consistency was off. There was a hint of spicy to them which wasn't necessarily bad but not expected. The sweet potato fries were better. An underwhelming visit this time around.

Onion Rings
Dan A.

Has been some time since visiting the original Lankford so good to see their Bellaire location. On a Monday night, too quiet around 7:30. I suspect it was due to the Texans playoff game. Ample indoor with mixed seating including booths as well outdoor seating. Newer so different from the rustic feel of the original location. They had a Monday combo special (hamburger/cheeseburger) which included fries and drink but we were interested in the Specialty Burgers. We ordered the Firehouse Burger (with habanero mayo on the side), Bellaire and Midtown Burger. I remember having the Firehouse Burger and how spicy it was with the Habanero mayo, so good to get it on the side. We ordered the Burgers medium and they came out as ordered. The patties were tasty and a good size. Also, have the option to order the Burger flame grilled which is a nice touch. The Midtown with the crunchy onion ring didn't disappoint and the grilled jalapeños and Bacon jam took the Bellaire Burger over the top! Service was friendly and engaged. They have a self pour Beer Wall which is a nice addition, breakfast menu also looked really good-next time. A different vibe from the original location while matching the Burger deliciousness!

Apple pie Milkshake
Ryen W.

If you're craving a burger that seriously delivers, the Grim Reaper is a must-try. This burger was loaded and flavorful -- mac & cheese, jalapeños, bacon, cheddar cheese, comes with a sunny-side-up egg (i substituted it for a fried egg), all topped with habanero mustard and cayenne butter. Spicy, rich, and absolutely worth it. I started with the fried pickle appetizer, which came out hot, crispy, and perfectly seasoned a great way to kick things off. For something sweet, the apple pie milkshake was chef's kiss. Creamy, nostalgic, and tasted just like dessert in a cup. Can't forget the side of fries golden, crispy, and the perfect companion to an already indulgent meal. Great food, solid portions, and a fun, casual vibe with great customer service. Definitely a spot I'll be back to.

Wings 6pc
Limairy C.

First time coming here & honestly I don't know if it was because they were about to close or what but our food portions weren't all that for what we paid for. I could tell that my wings were the frozen ones. We ordered curly fries & although they were good, the portion size of them wasn't. For $4 each basket too! I do say, the restrooms were very nice & clean! The restaurant does have a nice oldies touch, it was nice too. I would say to better on the portion sizes if they're going to up their charge.

South Of The Border
Yasser H.

Our hunger pangs for burgers drove us to Lankford's. What an awesome decision that we made. We were greeted upon arrival and we proceeded to order the following items: South of the border 5/5. The burger was absolutely delicious. Half pound juicy patty in a brioche bun with all the fixings. There was a slice of avocado in it too. Mushroom Swiss 5/5. Another juicy half pound patty with the sautéed onions and mushrooms. Absolutely delicious. Also ordered some fries. Golden, crisp. Ambiance was chill. Good music playing. Plenty of seating. Service was very good also. Order at counter . Food is brought to the table. The employees working were very friendly and courteous. Ashley n Trace. Thanks again. We will be back soon.

Waffle Platter

Went to enjoy the 50% off breakfast offer. We were there at 9am when they opened. There were 7 of us. I ordered the Waffle Platter with 2 eggs. I asked for an extra crispy waffle with over easy eggs. The waffle was anything but crispy! It was mushy and sunken in the middle as if they didn't add enough batter. The butter was so cold, it never melted and the waffle was cold to boot. When I cut a bite out of it, it would separate when I forked it....bottom would fall to the plate! The eggs were SO bad that I sent them back and asked for soft scrambled instead....and, you guessed it, again hard cooked! The over easy eggs came out overcooked sunny side up. The edges were dark brown and like rubber, as I tried to trim them before I decided to send them back. We were the only customers there, so it wasn't like they were slammed. Only two employees visible. Even though it was a half price breakfast, it wasn't even worth the half price we paid. We are a breakfast group who go to different places every Sunday. This place is definitely off our breakfast rotation!!!

Lettuce wrap cheeseburger was so delicious! You don't need a bun when the flavor of the meat is so good!
Maria E.

Excellent service! The food is always hot and fresh! We both had cheeseburgers and onion rings! I got the lettuce wrap instead of bun. They are always very accommodating. Great music is always playing! Come on in and give them a try today!

Fried Green Tomatoes 4pc and Queso Fries
Tera B.

This was my first visit and it was awesome! Customer service is unmatched, drinks are delicious, and food was fresh and flavorful. There are also a host of options for dessert as well. I captured a picture of our appetizers (fried green tomatoes and queso fries), but we also ordered the sweet chili wings, veggie quesadillas, fish sandwich, and curly fries. We indulged in the self-pour beer wall, the cherry limeade, and old-fashioned as well! Robert, Dakota, and Kasey were wonderful. They definitely made our experience enjoyable. We will definitely be back soon!

I asked for no tomatoes due to allergies to them ! The store manger told staff not to remake it!! I hope he likes the lawsuit!! And my receipt that I have showing no tomatoes on a burger!!

Clearly the glass had not been properly cleaned. I brought it to the bartender's attention and while she offered to remake the drink, there was no apology beyond that, no refund offer, and honestly no sense of urgency or concern about serving a dirty glass. By that point, I was completely put off and declined the replacement. I understand mistakes happen, but cleanliness at a bar should be the bare minimum, especially when it comes to drinkware. Unfortunately, this experience ruined the visit for me and I won't be returning.

I tried to get the man behind the counter to understand that I wanted half a muffaletta, with no mayo. I expressed this in several different ways, because the confused expression on his face indicated that none of it was registering. In the end I gave up and accepted the whole, giant sandwich wheel. It wasn't till I got home that I realized he'd misunderstood more than just the size I was asking for. I can't tell you how much I despise mayonnaise (unless I'm having a BLT, and am thoroughly in charge of the application of the condiment). Why would it even be an option, mayo on a muffaletta? It would be just as ridiculous to have to specify "no ketchup" on one. I don't mean to come off as overly dramatic, here, but that bite was more harmful to me than anything that has ever happened to anyone in the history of humankind. You're probably thinking, "He-LLO . . . Have you seen Schindler's List?" And you may have a point. I sat through that whole film just letting valuable hours pass me right by. But this sandwich thing was even worse. So, after all that bitching, why the five stars, Mike? Because I know it would have been good without the mayonnaise. And because I remember the old Antone's. Not gonna let one assassination attempt ruin that history. I can't go back until I'm completely fluent in Spanish, though. Como se dice "mayo" in espanol?

I received 1 baklava, 2 pasta salads (not ordered), and one macaroni salad. The lack of attention to the order was disappointing. The food: The mufalata is excellent, great flavor and value for the price. The 4 oz salads are too small and all of the pasta salads are bland, so I doubt recommend them. The fruit salad was great and very fresh and tasty. The hummus is lemony, but also gritty, so it depends on your preference on whether you'll enjoy it. The pasta salad is smooth, but tasted great. The cheesecake is meh, and tastes like it is just a basic store bought dessert. The baklava is super sweet, but good value compared to other restaurants. The Greek salad was very fresh and comes with plenty of shredded feta. I'd recommend Paulie's for the sandwiches, potato salad, and fresh salads. The desserts and pasta salads are not worth trying.

The muffuletta was made to order and took less than 5 minutes. It was served warm and was SO GOOD! Layers of meaty, salty goodness accented by the brininess of the pickles and olives. I easily finished half the sandwich for lunch and will likely have the other half for dinner haha. Their whole muffuletta is the priciest sandwich on the menu, but could probably reasonably feed 2. Angelo'z also offers rotating daily sandwich combos-- order the sandwich of the day and get chips and a drink for $10. Chip selection includes Lay's, Zapp's, and Kettle. If you're in a rush, many of their popular sandwiches it seems, are available to be grabbed from the case. Also in the case are a variety of sides, like deviled eggs or pasta salad... cookies and cake for dessert, too! COVID safety: all employees wearing masks and hand sanitizer available. Some seating inside available. Next time I'm craving a sub sandwich, I'll be sure to be back!

In addition, a Black family was seated next to another kitchen exit. A woman in that group asked to be moved to a different table. The food itself was very good, and the server who took care of us was pleasant and kind. My concern was specifically with the way the host assigned tables.

Of course, it is up to the restaurant to decide how it will assign tables in the future. I would be glad if this experience prompted the restaurant to recognize the issue and make changes.
