    Old fashioned hamburger
    C B.

    This location is one of many in the Houston area. It's small with no frills, delicious meal orders are brought to your table by friendly staff, and a definite neighborhood favorite. Parking in front of restaurant located in the shopping strip. You'll feel right at home here. Clean one person women's restroom.

    Chili Cheese Burger
    Brian J. R.

    What a burger! (Nope, can't say that.) For real, this is one of my top burgers. I always get the chilli cheeseburger and it's never let me down. My daughter got a standard cheeseburger and rated it 86/10. Do not ask me to make sense of that rating. She loved it though. The food is made fresh to order fast and the dark wood and kitsch of the decor reminds me of an old tavern mixed with an uncle's den. Always awesome.

    a bacon and lettuce sandwich

    Yes, I'm giving this kinda divey burger joint 5 stars... only because I can! So close to my house I'm not sure why I've never been here, but now I know and I'll be back... I ordered a bacon burger with guacamole. First, the burger patty is pressed on the flat top to give in a nice crust, but it's not overcooked. Still had some Pink, as it should. The bacon was generous, and cooked perfectly and crispy.. and the guacamole was just how I'd make mine. The bun was fresh, and grilled, both sides.... came wrapped in paper. Franch fries came out hot and generous, and ready for salt. My only negative is the ketchup definitely isn't Heinz, but it's fine. I did get food envy when I saw an order of onion rings come out... , I guess next time.

    Small mom & pop burger shop. Owners and employees are friendly. The atmosphere is quaint and homey with signs and memorabilia on every wall. The food is fantastic. I've been here many times and never been disappointed. The burgers are big, messy and absolutely delicious. The fries are perfectly done, thick straight cut. I personally like to add a bit more salt on top as they tend to be slightly under salted for my taste. If you stop by Miller's be sure to grab plenty of napkins, and come with a big appetite. You're gonna need 'em. Four star, not five because of cleanliness. The place is by no means filthy, but the tables at times can feel a little grimy.

    7-12-2014 We've eaten a burger here once a week for years.  In our opinion Stomps and then this place have the best burgers in the area, but Stomps is too far away for routine eating. Tastes are all different but I don't like their chili, so I don't get their Frito Pie which I love or their hotdog.   7-8-17 Update:  When you eat at the same place week-after-week year-after-year you burn out.  So we've been getting our weekly burger at Burger Nation for more than a year.  Burger Nation's burger is good but we decided to come back and try one here again.  These are better.  As a result, we've returned here for our burger. 5-28-18 Update: Pop Top burgers is their competitor.  We now alternate between Miller's and Pop Top. 2-29-2021 Update: We no longer go to Burger Nation. And, we don't go often to Pop Top anymore, mostly because they moved and are too far. Our new competitor to Miller's is Mia's Table. They make a good burger and we've been going there more than here lately. ___ We've Eaten Out Every Meal for 30+ years

    Millers is my go to place for burgers in the area. Food is great and consistent. The place is quiet and has plenty of room for the amount of people I bring, typically four to eight.

    Bacon Cheeseburger and onion rings
    Bella R.

    Delicious burger and onion rings. Chili cheese fries too. You can't go wrong with this combo.

    Fantastic Cheeseburger, Onion Rings and Diet Pepsi!!!
    Michael C.

    Great delicious burgers and onion rings with great friendly service. The Houston Med Center location is also great like the Bay Area one. The burgers and onion rings have been here since the 70s n always made with love n skills. Delicious burger place. I also love the fact that they sell Pepsi and have great prices for highly great food.

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. Decent amount of tables and good parking situation outside

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. The ambiance is fast casual, lots of seating, people socializing, and a vibe that makes you ask yourself why you haven't visited earlier. Service was quick and friendly, they made great recommendations for first time customers. I actually ordered the wrong shake on accident and they gave me a second one for free. Glad to see that even in this economy the staff doesn't nickel and dime you. Great people Whether you're in the mood for a quick bite or a casual date, I'd honestly use any excuse to stop by again!

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
