We LOVE Lankford's for the amazing food and kid friendly atmosphere! The staff is always so polite and willing to help with whatever we need. They have a huge variety of meals on their menu and a super cool beer bar as well. Definitely worth trying and supporting! read more

Excellent service and tasty burgers and tots as per usual. A go to spot for comfort food.

My dentist is in the area and we wanted a lowkey breakfast spot. Found they opened at 9am so we can right over. We were starving so we both ordered a plate. I got the biscuits and gravy with sausage which was excellent. However the star of the show turned out to be the omelette. My husband throughly enjoyed it and they were NOT stingy with the filling. Service was fast. We ordered fast and the food arrived even faster. It was hot, fresh and plentiful. I happened to use their restroom which I don't do often as I prefer to wait. To my surprise the restroom was clean and well maintained. Overall I'd definitely be returning. read more

Lankford's - Bellaire - Not the best picture but some of the best potatoes I've ever eaten outside of my house! - Burgers Near Me - Bellaire, Texas

It isn't as good as the original location. They were out of a few items that we wanted to try. I was really disappointed in our appetizers. I don't know if they have changed the recipe or what. The biggest disappointment was the peach cobbler. Not at all like the picture ( where were the peaches) and there was nothing flaky about the crust. I'll go back to the original eatery before I cross Lankford's off as one of my favorite places to eat in Houston . read more

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. read more

I had a spicy burger that was done well (even the Mac and cheese was decent) but i was disappointed that they didn't have the GOAT burger at this location. The fried Oreos are ok - mines were too greasy for my taste and soaked in chocolate syrup. I doubt i would order it again. My kiddo liked the chicken and waffles and it's half priced when we went (in the afternoon on a Sunday). If i ever want a burger i would return :) the service was great! read more

Best burger in houston. All staff are on their game Again excellent hamburger that's almost as good as mine read more

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! read more

If you want a good old fashioned hamburger, you need to visit this restaurant . Good onion rings, though I wasn't impressed with the fries. Service was friendly. Plenty of parking. read more

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. read more

We walked in at approximately 1:15pm. We've went to a different location previously and wanted to enjoy their food. I ordered the 3B and my wife ordered the Houston . Our food arrived. My label said "3B", and to our appaul, my wife's burger said "hoe", not "hou" like they tried to initially pass off. The cashier admitted that thw letter looked like an "e". I told her that was the word hoe and the lady at the counter also agree it looked like hoe. It was at the Bissonnet location. This is completely unacceptable read more

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. read more

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. read more

Everything was good! I was recommended the jalapeño sourdough bread and it did not disappoint!

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!!! read more

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.

I have visited the original Lankford's several times over the years. Ever since they hit their TV fame. Their newest location, in Bellaire, has the same food but it's a little different. We'll talk about that soon. I stopped by on a Monday evening for dinner and parked in their complimentary lot without any issues. Ambiance (3.5/5): Unlike the original location, which is a little cramped, this one is more spacious. There's table seating and booth seating. And they have TVs showing sports games including Monday Night Football while I was there. The downside? They close at 9 p.m. which is way too early, especially when Monday Night Football isn't even over when you close down. We sat at a table with a good view of one of the TVs. Service (3.5/5): Pretty non-existent. You order your food at the counter and they bring your food out to you. Drinks (4/5): One of the few places in town that I know that has a self-service beer wall. Pick up a bracelet with the cashier, and then pour whatever beers you want to your heart's content. Most of the beers are local craft brews. While it's a cool concept, it does tend to get a bit pricey. Food (3/5): While there's more on the menu, they're known for their burgers so that's what I would recommend. I went with the pimento cheese burger with queso fries. You know a burger joint is undelivering when their fries shine more than their burgers do. That's what happened here. While the burger wasn't bad, it was a little lackluster. The burger patty was missing the ooze or char you want to see. The pimento cheese was a nice touch and not something you find often in this part of the country. The bread, while fresh, was a little too big for the patty. The fries, on the other hand, chef's kiss. Crisp, fresh-cut, well-seasoned. Exactly what I was looking for. And these cheese on top is always a good idea because throw cheese on anything and it's better. If you're looking for a casual spot to grab some burgers and brews, Lankford's is a good spot. Just make sure to get their early enough! read more

What an absolute treat yesterday was. It's started with some errands, a friend's recommendation across town , meeting awesome new faces (Dawn & Trace) at the coziest spot and being given the opportunity to indulge in some delicious creations at Lankford's. in Bellaire. Our palettes were delighted with some yummy flavors we hadn't yet experienced on a burger. We cannot forget the pickle chips. Now I'm a pickle spears kind of gal all the way. My husband is the guy who takes the pickles off anything and sends them my way. Not this time Lankford's. Just as surprised as I was to not see the same o'l pickle chips, I was even more surprised after leaving the table for a few minutes to explore this charming place- only to sit back down to discover my husband heavily enjoying these AMAZING, perfectly coated, evenly crispy, delicious golden pickle chips. The menu selections all sounded amazing, but Dawn had some awesome recommendations. We ordered what was described to be one of my absolute favorite Chefs "Guy Fiettis" favorite there- The Grim Reaper Burger as well as the 3B Bellaire Bacon Burger. This was a lemonade day, so we didn't visit the tap wall or fill up a beer tower. We'll be back for that and some dessert. We can't wait to visit their new location when they open up at the Woodlands Waterway, but for now you'll want to not forget to check out this place on your next day in Houston at 5208 Bissonnet St. Bellaire. Thanks again Dawn, Trace and the kitchen staff for welcoming us in, filling our bellies with yummy things and treating us with such kindness. We'll see you guys again soon read more

First time here. We decided to give it a try once we saw a video that Guy from food network gave this place a try and wanted to try the spicy burger ourselves. I loved it!! The place is very nice and clean. The staff was friendly and patient with us, helped us with ordering the tab on the walls you can choose from different beers. The food was great. The spicy burger we came for tasted good but it wasn't as spicy as u thought it would be. Overall it was great and recommend. read more

Love Lankford's! Great burgers! And Dakota is super friendly and helpful! Will definitely continue coming here.

1/2 -- 3.5/5 Burger tasted good, but I requested medium (out of five doneness options!) and it definitely came back well done Burger was over $15, and a side of 5 onion rings cost more than $5 Onion rings were mostly batter -- super thin onions that got lost in the fry This was a takeout order, so can't speak to the dine-in experience or service Portion sizes didn't match the price point ‍ Would I return? Probably not -- not a bad burger, just not worth the price read more

Lankford's in Bellaire gets two stars for the beer wall. Go for the beer, not the food. EVERYTHING we ordered that was fried was overcooked. The tater tots were bundles of crunch with no potato inside. The fried pickles were so overcooked, the coating was falling off the wilted pickles. And the fries tasted like they had been fried and refried and refried a third time. I wanted to take all three orders back, but the rest of my party didn't want to make a fuss. For what they charge, we should have made a fuss. Most people go to Lankford's for the hamburgers, which are smaller than expected. (I noticed while I was paying my bill that the cook pulled three cooked hamburgers out of a container and placed them back on the grill. To reheat them? For $12, they should serve nothing but fresh burgers.) One more thing irked me: they charge extra if you use a credit card. Does anyone use cash these days? No. We won't be back to Lankford's. Next time we want a big, juicy hamburger and crispy fries that are cooked to perfection, we'll stick with Beck's Prime. They never disappoint. read more

Lankford's has quickly become a favorite! I ordered the Firehouse Burger with a black bean patty, and it was phenomenal - packed with flavor, and that house-made habanero sauce was chef's kiss! It's not easy to find a vegetarian burger that truly stands out, but this one absolutely does. The staff were so warm and welcoming - they went out of their way to help me get my kids settled and made us feel right at home. Delicious food, family-friendly vibes, and genuinely great service.

The original Lankford's has been one of Houston's heavy hitters when it comes to burgers. It's been featured on local and national television shows and always comes up as one of the best burger spots in town. My friends and I checked out their newest location in Bellaire on a Sunday afternoon. I was expecting more people, but it was very chill and relaxed when we arrived. It did pick up when it got closer to lunch time. The space itself is nice and clean and has a good amount of seating inside as well as some patio space as well. Parking doesn't seem to be an issue here. Customer service was good. They explained some of the specials they were having on breakfast items and gave us great suggestions on the burgers. I always knew them as a burger spot, but they have pretty good sized menu with an impressive breakfast menu, apps, salads, burgers, sandwiches, sides and entrees. Some of the breakfast specials were hard to pass up, but I went with a burger to really see what this place was about. They got lots of burgers to choose from and you can pick any protein you want on any of them. They have chicken, turkey, fish, and veg options as well. You can even have your burger flame grilled as opposed to flat top. Nice to know for next time. As always, I was indecisive and let the employee pick for me. She told me to go with the 3B-Bellaire Bacon Burger. It had bacon jam, grilled jalapenos, lettuce, tomato, bacon and pepper jack cheese. The burger took awhile to come out but it was nice and fresh when it did arrive. Now this burger was a big boy. I'm guessing because of the bacon jam, the buns were a little on the soggy side which made for a bit of a mess to eat. I had to fork it at some point. The angus patty itself was seasoned nicely and cooked perfectly. The bacon slices was a but chewy. I like a little more bite to mine. The jam was good. It was definitely a bacon forward. Solid burger. I got a side of tots to go with mine and it was a generous portion, perfectly crispy and seasoned. We did have fries at the table which were hand cut and seasoned just right. I thought they were better than the tots. I washed it all down with a Dr. Pepper. They have an awesome beer dispensing wall and you just pay by the pour as well as cocktails, wine, etc. Overall, Lankford's did not disappoint. I want to check out the original location just to see if I notice any difference in quality. read more
