    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.

    Single bacon cheeseburger
    Claudine L.

    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.

    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!

    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

    Jalapeño cheddar cheeseburger with everything on it, onion rings, and fries.

    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.

    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.

    Mini burger

    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.
    Candy C.

    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.

    It's Miller's time
    Fox E.

    I come here sometimes. Basically whenever it's Miller time. This is a good burger place and an underrated one that flies under the radar. Houston doesn't have a huge amount of great burgers, but this is one of the better ones for sure. Sure, Lankford is the gold standard, and there are several other excellent ones, but this is a place I'll definitely return to, and somewhere that I'll come back in future.

    Burger, fries, frito pie
    Chris M.

    Hidden strip mall gem! Order at a counter and find your own seat. It's mostly a burger place, but a few other options. I had a double burger with jalapeños and cheddar. Open kitchen, fried patties, good sides. I tried the fries, onion rings, sweet potato fries and frito pie. Toppings were falling off the burger and was pretty tasty. Trivia Pursuit cards on the table were a fun distraction while we waited for food Would for sure stop in again if in the area.

    No food left behind.

    Super popular burger spot in Houston - but is it worth the hype?…read more It is a build your own burger concept with fast service. Food comes out quickly and you are able to modify it however you want! There are coloring sheets for children and wifi. Lots of seating to eat (both indoor and outdoor). There is a soda fountain and water that is self serve. Definitely a place to hang out with friends/family and grab a quick bite to eat. loved the SWEET SOURDOUGH as the bun since it was slightly sweet and had a nice squishy like chew. The sourdough element really gives it that tug that I love in bread. the patties are thin, lacy, and smashed. Nicely salty and seasoned. for the sauce I would recommend the SCALLION AIOLI since it was warming and garlicy adding a really nice punch of flavor. the SWEET POTATO FRIES were a delicious side (crisp, piping hot, tasty). Overall I have not much to knock burgerchan on - besides their lack of lettuce wraps as an option haha but they do offer your burger on a bed of lettuce. they also have super fun unique milkshakes like vietnamese coffee, black sesame, etc (I'd try that next time). lots of sides and protein patty options in case you don't eat beef. they also have chicken, turkey, and falafel.

The staff, manager or owner, even takes time to stop by to tables to speak to the guests. We dropped by on Tuesday for dinner. I wish I saw the Icee machine before I ordered my fountain drink!

My husband's chicken club sandwich with regular fries was also delicious! We got the order within 10 mins, didn't take too long.

They had a good menu, with options for anyone's dietary needs. This is a 100% family centric business. I had read about their story on the website. Highly recommend you take a look. They bring in elements of this into their restaurant with theit kids names throughout the joint. Parking was easy enough, and it looks like they labeled the parking barriers with names of the family's kids. I ran into some of the owners as I waited for my order. They were decorating the back patio, and they have the kids up on the walls too. I walked in to make an order, And left 15 minutes later with everything I needed. I ordered the Montecito, a very tasty chicken sandwich. The chicken was moist, and well flavored. I also upgraded the fries. My friends also liked their orders, a different chicken sammich and a vegetarian burrito.

I'd come back if I'm craving that pretzel.
