    I've been going to Millers as a kid (their former location on Wilcrest and Westheimer) and always make a stop here when I'm on this side of town. A nostalgic, old fashioned Mushroom Swiss with all their fixings is the only way to get it. Made fresh to order with basic but high-quality ingredients, even 30+ years later, still takes me back every single time. Don't let the looks fool you as it's no ordinary, stale biker bar. This place is rich in history and if you take a closer look at the pictures, you'll see three generations of hard working Americans making a beautiful and delicious living.

    High cost for low quality

    I should have turned away just from the smell. Unfortunately we opted for some burgers instead of Subway. Should have just asked for a refund! The cashier was super rude and kept cutting us off when we told her what we wanted on our burger. Also why is it so dark inside? I mean I get saving money on your lights, but not like this. Should have just wait for happy hour anywhere else and I mean anywhere! First and last time here!

    When I walked in I honestly did not like the way the restaurant smelled but I decided to go ahead and order. The interior gave old roadside vibes.The lady was pleasant at the register though and it was a simple ordering process. The burger was pretty good. Standard home style burger. I was full when I left so no complaints. The burger was pretty big and the onion rings were also good. I had a single bacon cheeseburger with mustard, lettuce, tomato, I think mayo, and I onion. I wish I would have asked for extra mayo or mustard but I just used the ketchup from the table. There are no frills but like I said I was satisfied. I will say it was a little pricey for what you get. I might come back and try another menu item.

    Everything is crafted to your liking and incredibly fresh. They offer Pepsi products, served from the fountain, which is pretty good, and you can also find Dr Pepper. Alongside their burgers, there's a wide range of other choices, including vegetarian selections. Local beer and wine are always on hand for those looking to indulge. It's a relaxed spot where you order at the counter and then find a seat. I absolutely adore this place; it's a true Houston classic.

    Great decor. Great atmosphere. Hamburger was good, onion rings were good. Staff was amiable. Cool hang. This would be a great place to make a movie. Menu choices were plentiful. 3830 N Shepherd Dr, Houston, TX 77018 Old style. Cool You can order a triple cheeseburger here. Healthy stuff too. Chili. Located in: Garden Oaks Shopping Cente

    Sweet Potato fries $3.75 - yum! Very crispy. Not greasy. We shared.

    Bacon cheeseburger $13 - our preferred burger (cashier recommended this). Bacon was very crispy. Patties are actually flavorful. (I don't like the places where they make it about the toppings.) Soft bun, although I wish it was toasted a bit. Fresh veggies. Mushroom Swiss burger $13 - also very good. Burgers are huge BTW. I may have eaten a little more than half. They're not cheap, but they don't ask for tip. (They only have a cash tip jar.) So I guess the burgers are about $11. Sweet Potato fries $3.75 - we shared this. They were hot and very crispy, not oily at all. We were the only customers dining in. It has a bar atmosphere, and it's dark and a little dingy tbh, but the workers are friendly, and the food is good. We saw a handful of people who ordered pick-up. We only stopped by bc we live down the street and i saw good reviews, but from the outside, I would never just walk in.

    Been told to come try their burgers. Keep in mind I'm not a burger fan so my review might not be as accurate. Location: shopping strip Parking: lots Staff: great, very friendly and honest Wait time: none Price: a bit on high end with add ons Taste: my son said they were tasty, I did try a small kids burger and it was decent. Location definitely has a vintage old diner look. I would try again. Seating: both indoor and outdoor (also has a bar seating area)

    Burger, onion rings and sweet potato fries.

    About a week ago...I placed an order over the phone from the parking lot... they said 10-15 mins. I waited 10mins and went to pickup my order 2 burgers, sweet potato fries and onion rings. I had heard good things about this place so of course I had a few expectations. The burger was cold (I at least expected it to be warm) and the fries were limp... the onion rings were nice and crispy. The service was very friendly and I was happy to see staff wearing masks and they had hand sanitizer available. There is plenty of parking in the shared lot. Unfortunately, the food was lack luster.

    No food left behind.

    If Peter is not cooking, don't bother eating. BUT!!! If he is, sit yo big back ass down and enjoy everything he put in front of you.

I had opted for a beef burger with a side of chili cheese tater tots to share. The burger is quite large and filled generously with whatever add-ins you check off so it was very filling for me. I went with two 2oz patties, but considering the size, I'd opt for a single 2 oz patty if I go back. For my burger I also added scallion aioli which didn't have a strong green onion flavor but was still nice and added creaminess to the burger overall. The tater tots were super crispy, and the chili cheese topping was nice. I had gone shortly after they opened and it wasn't super busy but it started to quickly fill up around 11:30-12.

The basic burger is $12, and anything you want to add or replace is extra. Now that's including the basic sauce, which I thought would be an additional homemade sauce if I needed. Again, I am learning. I ordered grilled chicken, but at the counter, a very nice person, Eric, told me they were out of grilled chicken and had fried chicken available. I guess so, since I spend some time. I don't want to wait any longer. I also ordered homemade lemonade, which came with lots of ice. I requested that some ice be removed. I also added chard jalapenos, which were tasteless and slightly burned, so they lost their flavor. The food pick-up area was separate, and the guy who gave you a food tray could have been friendlier and said thank you. Oh well, my burger was a piece of chicken with lettuce and onion. It was ok but very dry inside. So make sure you order sauce or anything for your burger, and pay for it. When I got there, the dining hall was empty. I like this place, but plz if you're going there for the first time, read the menu carefully and place your order. Service could be friendlier, and the dining hall was clean.

Patty- juicy and full of flavor, Bun- toasted and soft at the same time, fries were crispy and salted to perfection and everything in between. Puts its local competitors to shame.

A standard smashed Double cheeseburger and generous extra crispy impressively seasoned waffle fries as you want it cost $16 which is fair since adding the fries vs standalone burger is only $1 price differential. Clutch City Grill sits next to Burger Chan (the most recent title holder of best burger for my son) but this Sunday, they were not open so we tried the one we didn't try last time--CCG. And let me just say that this place tucked away inside a collective indoor food concession aka The Conservatory Galleria, has every right to boldly don the clutch city burger title. Inside this perfectly grilled almost Hawaiian role type hint of sweet homemade bun is a masterclass of burger perfection, made right in front of you and to your liking based on your selections from the order tap screens. While, waiting, I looked at everything I didn't order as it was being served and I'm almost certain that anything you order at CCG is delicious. Presentation is superb because others were sitting with large selections in front of them that caused me a bit of buyers remorse--I couldn't decide. The vibe is chill enough to talk to the grill master while my son was figuring out his massive burger order--he randomly had a hash brown added to a patty melt. And ordered something to take home or in case one order wasn't enough for the teen appetite. But the food is massive. I cannot stress that enough. Portions of everything there are beyond generous from what we saw and this is the kind of place where there's delivery guys picking up, people working on their laptops and the average joe grabbing takeout after work as well as families having dinner but not crowded. We sat and reflected on a great shopping day in a chill environment and reminisced on the old days of Galleria area last minute back to school night before/we should do this more type of memories in the making. The take something to go plus my own leftover (cutting the burger in half is an open from the order touch screen) and it passed the ultimate test of being really good cold the next day. This place begs the question--where is everybody? I can't be the only one who knows about it. But also was inviting enough to silently confirm that I think we've found our place. One that even has a cool bathroom with a mirror that says "you look amazing." Exactly how you're going to feel about the food that looks even better than it does in its promo photos
