The mushroom Swiss burger with grilled onions is my favorite. One of the messiest burgers I've ever had so maybe skip it if your on the way to court or an interview. The sweet potato fries are also great, they are thin, crispy and complement the savory burgers well. read more

Ordered 7:17p got food at 7:36p. Took a little while to get food but worth it. You can call ahead and order! Cheeseburger and fries and soda: $12.44. My cousin ordered a double cheeseburger and added jalapeños, with fries and drink for $14. I asked for extra pickle and they totally delivered. All the veggies (lettuce, jalapeños, pickles, onions) were crunchy and fresh. Definitely need two hands to eat these! Ambience: Cool pictures all over the walls. It's a hole in the wall, biker bar type feel, dim lighting (unless you're by the windows). Once we ordered, you could hear a fresh burger sizzling on the grill. 70s and 80s rock and roll playing on the speakers, at a decent volume. You can see the grill, the freezer, everything "kitchen." One cook was cutting fresh onions. The guacamole is in a bag... (I'll have to check that out someday and let you know). Onion rings and fries were frozen, however, it had no negative affect on the flavor. The fries were delicious. Overall nice place to stop in for burger and fries. read more

I've been to the one that's in the tunnels downtown and thought they had a very good burger, but the prices were just a tad too high for just a good burger. My wife and I had some business in the area and needed to kill some time a few weeks ago and happened upon this place. I figured it was the same business since the logo was the same so I asked the person behind the counter, and she confirmed that they were....to my amazement, she went on to say that this particular place is the first one that opened in Houston as they've been there for around 38 years. It's in a very old building and you can tell right away when you enter the place that it has a very old-town homey kind of feel to it which is definitely not a bad thing. We just had a couple regular burgers and fries for an early dinner on that first visit, and they definitely did not disappoint. FYI=their onion rings are very crispy and very good to say the least! as soon as you enter, don't forget to notice the huge tubs of ice to the right that hold some great adult beverages for your enjoyment while you wait for your food! read more

Miller's Cafe - Ice Cold Beer here!!! - Burgers Near Me - Houston, Texas

Millers is a Garden Oaks/Oak Forest Area legend and staple. My parents and in-laws ate here back in the day and I eat here too. Order before, pick up, then you skip the line by going straight to counter on right hand side. I love them esp during non peak hours (after lunch or after dinner rush). Burgers w avocado are yummy and love ALL their fries. Support local business and eat here! read more

OMG! The burgers here are by far amongst the best in Houston..... Even the BEYOND BURGER!!!! And don't forget to try the ONION RINGS!!!! And I am a onion ring connoisseur! read more

i havent been to your cafe but i can GUARANTEE i will be orderING from you VERY soon. I just read about your mask stance and i applaud you. I'm very glad the Mayor Turner and other high profile people, as well as every day customers have come to your defence. GREAT JOB read more

A long standing burger join that I have been to many times over the years. Order at the counter and find a seat. When not busy they can find you but otherwise they will yell out your number/order. Everyone working here is great, they will try to accommodate you in any way they can. At peak times they can get a little backed up, but no bother for me. Love the nostalgic vibe with just enough kitsch. Some tables up front, long diner counter past that, and more tables in the back. Burgers are huge and flavorful, love the poppy seed buns. I always get the bacon cheese burger, and leave stuffed. Fries are fine, if not my favorite. They are hot, crispy, and thats about all that is needed. Everything is really well priced (I mean in this day, its a wonder to not spend more than $15 for lunch). Thats it, just go check out this 30+ year old establishment if you haven't already. read more

Great burgers cooked on a flat-top grill! Always tasty and made to order. This is my favorite burger place!

Came here with family and this was the WORST service EVER.. the lady taking the orders was RUDE ass hell.. we had to wait on them to be ready instead of the other way around NO CUSTOMER SERVICE at all. Then when we would order more they gave us attitude like if we were bothering them. This is the last time we will ever go there.. oh yeah NO HOTDOG BUNS either this was GARBAGE a waste of my $$$.. read more

Not bad overall. They have a "fast casual" approach to dining, a la Shake Shack, Bernie's, Hopdaddy, etc.; where you pay for the burger, but sides, such as fries are extra. The burger itself was really good. With a bag of chips it came to about $10.50 with tax total for the burger and bag of chips. The staff was okay, but a bit aloof. I was standing in front of the cash register to pay for something and an employee looked at me, then went back to prepping food on the line. I stood there, then finally had to literally say, "I would like to pay for this", before someone finally came over. Also, when we requested more napkins, an employee came by and dropped a stack of napkins on the table like they were a roll of $20s, then casually sauntered off. Staff may need some customer service training, but overall the food is good here. read more

Best Burger Ever!!! When I'm hungry for a really good burger, there's only one place to go, and that's Miller's Cafe. I love the Mushroom Swiss burger with "Frings" combo. It's soooooo good!!! Meat juice and all just getting all over my hands and mouth, truly a work of art. I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! read more

The best burger in town. I love the atmosphere and the awesome food. Crispy onion rings are my favorite!

Stopped by here for the first time today & was pleasantly surprised! I tried the Clicker with fries- I don't eat beef or else I would have tried one of their MANY yummy looking burgers. Next time I'm going to have to try their Beyond Burger (for the vegetarians out there they have a few options). Would definitely stop in again, especially for their f read more

Very friendly but food was not very good. Got the double bacon cheeseburger. The buns were burnt and the meat was dry and had no flavor. Also got the onion rings. The batter was not tasty at all. The onion rings were not tender and we're actually hard and overcooked. For the price, I was expecting a lot more based on some friends who had eaten there but was very disappointed. I've had much better burgers and onion rings elsewhere and for the $15.00 i paid it should have been much better so will not be going back. read more

I've been going to Miller's for a number of years. Their hamburgers and chickenburgers are really, really good - different enough to give them a try. A no frills comfortable place. Many tables. Four stars because they are pricey. read more

Just love there food ,I go by there 2 or 3 times a month. I remember my mother, grandmother, cousins, and aunt introduced me to Miller's.

Always a great place to grab a delicious burger. The poppy seed bun is a bonus. I've suggested Miller's to many friends and they all love it! A good go to in the neighborhood. read more

At first glance, this place seems old and a simple dive but it doesn't take long to find out that may be right but for the right reasons. The menu is simple and the food is delicious, or maybe that's the poppy seeds talking. I've eaten here several times and the burgers are just the right size and never greasy. The sides are the same. Even though I can see they start off frozen, the onion rings are the right way to go. The only downside to this place is the "old" smell of the restaurant however reminds me of going to a grandparents house and quickly can disregard the moment I get a burger. So if you want a good burger and fries, these are your guys, for true! read more

Miller's Cafe - Burgers Near Me - Houston, Texas

First time here, burger (just plain) is rock solid; fresh ingredients, solid bun, great flavor. Fries cooked crisp and firm o-rings. We hear the tuna sandwich and the turkey sandwich are great also. I have no doubt that's true. Nice folks and great surroundings. I'll be back. read more

Great place to get a classic old school burger fries and drinks. The location is in a strip center on Shepherd drive and very busy at lunch time. The staff is cordial and accommodating but at times they get overrun and cannot give the proper time to each customer.All I say is try it if you are into burgers you might like it!! read more

I love me some good tasting burgers and I'm not talking about no Burger King !! Miller's has a dope menu even if it is a burger joint, they still have a veggie option so nobody is left out. The place gives off 90s classic rock vibes and the staff is pretty social. Don't expect a fine dining place it's a cafe man enjoy it !!!!! read more

Miller's Cafe - So yummy as always. - Burgers Near Me - Houston, Texas

I eat here occasionally when I am working in the area. I like the Mushroom Burger and the grilled chicken sandwich. Staff have always been really nice. My only gripe is that the prices are on the high side. You also have to pay extra for any side you want on your sandwich. I do like the food and so do my co workers its just expensive for what you get. read more

The taste of this delicious burger is one of the best that I have had in the whole texas area. I always get the Double Bacon Cheese burger in the Miller's Killer's and I get Blue Cheese instead of cheddar, I tell you it is a great burger. read more

I like big buns and I cannot lie! Butterytoasted, with poppy seeds, oh my! Stuffed with lettuce, pickles, tomatoes... Oooh, me so hungry... Okay, enough of my Sir-Mix-Alot tribute/foray. I had a dinner date with some of my favorite "special folk" here recently and boy, did I leave stuffed and satisfied. I'll admit, I ate too much, but so what? Here's what I had: -Tuna Salad sandwich: just the right mixture of mayo, onions, tuna, and celery (was there celery in there?), anyhoo, I liked it. It was like homemade, with love, and served on Miller's trademark big toasted, buttery poppyseed bun, with all of that other stuff I mentioned in my rap. My first choice was actually a black bean burger, which I would've ordered with guacamole, continuing the Southwestern theme and all, but alas, they were out. This little detail indicates to me the black bean burgers there actually get ordered, so it's not some century old stock, typical of places where the majority of their customers are carnivores. Next time. -Sweet Potato Fries: Thank you Melissa! These thin, crispy, yet somehow mealy fries were like dessert. Throw a marshmallow on them when they're fresh out of the fryer and we've got Thanksgiving memories. -Onion Rings: Yes. I ordered sweet potato fries AND onion rings. I wanted to try them both. I shared with my table mates. These taste like 1016 sweet yellow variety. Unevenly cut and dredged through cornmeal. I usually prefer beer or tempura battered, but these were just fine. Miller's Cafe is a quaint, neighborhood joint. Not fancy, decorated with cool old concert posters and signs. The staff is very friendly and amenable. Pay them a visit when you're in the 'hood. You'll probably become a fan, like me. read more

No frills family owned burger joint. Great place to take the kids after a soccer game or to grab a beer (they support local craft breweries) and burger after a long week. They grill up the burgers fresh after you order, so it takes a little time but boy, are they worth the wait! One of GOOF's best neighbor gems! read more

I've been a loyal Miller's Cafe patron for years. I live just a few blocks away. Until recently, it's been the best burger for the money in my opinion. However, they've recently changed their meat supplier. (I always sit at the counter and they use - or did use - preformed patties from a local distributor. Now, the patties come from another supplier (different box and logo) and the patties are about 1/2 the thickness of the old ones. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the meat, just WAY too little of it. The new patties make Whataburger's look thick and juicy! The price didn't go down, but the bun to meat to vegetable ratio is way off now. Instead, it seems like extra iceberg lettuce is used to fluff up the burger's size. I'm very disappointed with the new burgers. I wish they'd change back. The burger isn't worth the money now. I must also say, they should put a contact number for the company on their website rather than having to write a less than great review. read more

Had my first Beyond Burger from here and it was amazing!! I told my husband, he had a Turkey burger, since he was refusing to try a Beyond Burger. I waited until he ate the whole thing and bragged about how the "Turkey" burger was actually great to tell him it was actually a Beyond Burger. He was shocked but pleased! I haven't eaten red meat in a couple of months and this was soooo satisfying. It's a shame fast food restaurants dont offer this burger because this place closes at 3pm...on a Sunday at least. read more

I wish I could give this a five star rating based on my earlier childhood days!! My family and I ordered the turkey burgers! From what I remembered they use to be homemade and so delicious! There is a saying that things gets better as they age... in that case that is false! The turkey burger patty was thin and it was premise! I could have went to the store and purchased the pre-made patties if I wanted that! I was so disappointed, I went to the store the next day and made my own turkey burgers! Millers cafe please fix this!! I enjoyed the turkey burgers of the past! read more

One day my coworkers came in with hamburgers and some fries, and i was thinking, "where did they get that?" I have to admit that I love the smell of burgers and fries, and yes there are those days where I just want to bite into a juicy bacon cheeseburger, but since I don't really know my way around yet and my lunch breaks are only 30 minutes long, I didn't know where to go. Luckily, my coworkers told me about Miller's Cafe. I didn't even recognize it in the shopping strip next to the school because it's just in between stores and I hardly ever go past the subway. Since they were saying they have the best burgers in town, I decided to give it a try after work, so I would actually have more time to enjoy it rather than trying to chomp it all in 15 minutes or so. Well, I placed my order of bacon cheeseburger and fries. I couldn't wait! The people were very friendly and the food came out pretty fast. I took my food back to work because I had some extra work to do that day. All I can say is YUMMY! The burger was juicy and the bacon was crisp. The burger held together as I ate it because I hate it when all the fillings just squirt out of the burger and then you end up with a hamburger salad versus an actual hamburger. The fries were pretty good, but I like my fries a bit more crispy and a little bit more salty. I think next time I'll ask them to make them crispy. I'm definitely going to go back when I have the time after work, I mean it is only about a 2 minute walk away. read more

I'm lucky to have a place like Miller's Cafe 1/4 mile from my house. They cook-up a great burger. Too good for me to have even wavered from the same burger the last two visits. The double bacon cheeseburger. You may have won today burger, but I'm still .500. That is a fat-ass burger. They must be minimum 1/3 lb patties. And I get it all the way with the classic fixins. It amounts to an elbow-drippin mess; not proud but damn happy. There looks to be a few good choices on the menu. Maybe someday I'll try, but I vouch for the burgers. Plus great fries. Thick, crispy fries that are way above average. And while there are cold beers on hand, today the Dr Pepper was like crack. It sounds weird, but every now and then the syrup and soda mixture is perfect. I couldn't get enough. Which was awkward because I was getting it to go. Luckily there was a tip jar as I hovered by the coke machine like a mosquito. Apparently there are 4 of these cafes. The dark, early eighties saloon vibe @ the N. Shepherd location almost cries out to have a beer. It's the only one I've been to, but I'd highly recommend it. I love Christian's, Southwell's, Lankford...they're all good. Give it a shot. read more

Great place to eat ! Food is awesome, and staff is courteous. I especially like the Covid-19 safety practices. Will definitely return.

Ok, how I've never been here before is beyond me, but I finally got to see for myself what Miller's has to offer and I'm definitely hooked! The bf had been before but this was a first for me. We visited Miller's Cafe this past Saturday around 2 while out doing errands, the "hangryness" was kicking in and this place hit the spot. Looking over their menu, I was torn between the "Gobbler" and the "Clucker" but I ultimately chose the "Gobbler," the bf ordered the chicken finger basket and we both got an order of onion rings and then we ordered some chili cheese fries on impulse lol EVERYTHING was delicious!!!! My sandwich, which was literally LAYERS of turkey was so fresh and juicy, I was kinda sad that I didn't have the room to finish it all lol The chili cheese fries were by far the BEST chili cheese fries that I've had in a long time. The bf made a believer out of me by taking me here lol It's located in the Garden Oaks area, in the shopping strip off W. 38th & Shepherd. I can see that it can be easy to miss if you don't know where it's at. The interior is dark but not off-putting and they have old timey decor on the walls but I liked it! To me, it added to the character of the place. The ladies at the front were very nice as well! They got our order out to us pretty fast and they were happy to give us to-go boxes for the leftovers that defeated us. lol ALSO, they close at 3pm on Saturdays (which we didn't know). I was actually shocked to see how accommodating the ladies at the front were, a father and son walked in a few mins after 3 and they still took their order and everything! :) The dad asked what time they closed and the lady told him 3, he looked at his watch and apologized for coming after hours but that lady told him it was ok and still asked what they would like, no grumbling or attitude at all. Most places would not do that but I thought that was very nice. Overall, Miller's Cafe made a very good first impression with me and it's easy to see how so many reviewers here have been long time customers. They gained another with me! :) read more

Called in to see what time they close....first the lady on the other end said 8:30....hesitated....then said 9. I said ok....8:30 or 9? Can i place an order for pick up? "Sure," she says. Food: 6/10 Service: 7/10 Atmosphere: 5/10 Creativity: N/A I ordered a cheese burger "all-the-way" and a side of fries for pick up. I have never been here before and cautiously approached 38th street. I saw Miller's Hamburger's tucked away in a strip center. I saw the "hours" sign next to the door. They close at 9pm. I walk into a dark restaurant with the aroma of burgers adhered to the wall. I was quickly greeted and paid for my order. Waited another 3 minutes and had my little white bag containing my cheeseburger and fries. Here are my remarks: -fries are thick but slightly soggy. -whimpy bottom bun -spread of mayo (not too much, just the right amount) -fresh veggies -patty was not dry...started dripping on my second bite - you'll need at least three napkins read more

This is the kind of place where you never put the burger down once you take a bite. Partly because its just so good that you would never think of such a thing, but also because the burgers can be pretty messy and making the mistake of putting one down could ruin what's left of the burger. Its the type of place where grease spots show up on the table where you're elbows were because the burgers are so juicy. Where anyone in the know rolls up sleeves and takes off watches before getting started because they don't want the grease to run over everything, leaving a nice shirt or watch to smell of beef and fries forever. Trapped in an unassuming strip center, once you walk in this place has the feel of a dive. Whether you dig it because it makes you feel comfortable or for the novelty of it all, this place is worth at least a visit from any Houstonian that likes their burgers. They may not be the best burgers in town, but certainly in the top five. I like the cheeseburger with avocado, fries and a shake if i decide to throw caution to the wind. If you're watching your waistline this just isn't the place for you. If the ample burgers don't push you into the depths of a food coma there's always pinball in the back if thats your thing. For unpretentious, delicious burgers in a low key setting without the crowds, this place just can't be beat. read more

Today was my first time trying, I came with my boyfriend after we left planet fitness next door. At first I didn't know what to expect, I call stores that I drive past everyday but never walk into "NPC" (non-playable character) stores. We decided to try this NPC restaurant and did not regret it. I had the chicken tender basket and my boyfriend had the Double Bacon Cheeseburger. The chicken tender basket was really good, 4 good size tenders with a good amount of fries and your choice of dipping sauce. Variety of condiments to choose from and just general goodiness. My boyfriend's burger was GIANT. I had to help him finish (I really only took 4 bites) but still a good and big burger. He also ordered fries (which come separately from the burger unlike the tender basket) and they were delicious nonetheless. The bar has a cool little country type theme, reminded me of like a hungry farmer restaurant aesthetic. They had cool little "retro" games around the business like Pac-Man and an arcade game, and they had the simpsons playing on the tv. The workers were very nice and kind, which I graciously appreciated. Overall I would give this place a 9/10. Would come again. read more

I love Millers Cafe! The BEST FATTEST JUICIEST YUMMIEST MOST UNHEALTHIEST HAMBURGERS EVER! Well I'm just assuming they are unhealthy because its a huge hamburger and tastes oh so good, but who knows, maybe they found a way to make hamburgers healthy and I didn't know about it lol. Anyways, they are simply awesome, nice and big and a great price for what you get. Sweet potato fries are awesome too. I use to go to school at St. Pius X High School on Shepherd and Donovan and we had a teacher who would go every week and bring back food for students if you gave him money lol. Miller's was very popular at our school. We also used to go for off campus lunch every now and then. If you live in that area you get coupons in the mail too. Its located in a strip center and is a fairly small place so its easy to miss, but if you see it don't pass it up! You won't be disappointed! read more

From the outside, Miller's looks like a divey joint in a sketchy strip mall. But when you walk inside.... well, it still looks like a divey joint in a sketchy strip mall, but that's just how I like my burger joints. I was in town for training at the Houston Emergency Center down the street, and one of my classmates who knows the area well recommended Miller's for burgers, so three of us went. I ordered the guac burger, as did one of the others, and the 3rd had the chili cheese burger. We decided to split an order of fries, which turned out to be a great idea. Not just because the fries weren't near as good as the burger, but also because the burger was plenty. It was just big enough, and smeared with plenty of guac plus lettuce, tomatoes and pickles (it comes with onions and mayo too, but I passed on those). I had to cut in half to eat it without making a HUGE mess, but I still made a bit of a mess. The menu itself is just big enough - several burger options, a few alternative lunch selections (chicken, frito pie, etc), fries, onion rings, and sweet potato fries, and probably a few other things, and its all printed on blackboards above the register. You order, get a number, and sit and wait for your food to come out. It was semi busy at lunch time on a Thursday, and we got our food in less than 10 minutes. If I have the opportunity to be in this part of Houston again, I'll definitely try to hit up Miller's. It was well worth sacrificing my Whataburger Chicken Basket fix! read more

Best Burger Joint in Houston!!! Bar None! Get the clucker ( turkey with bacon) or Double Bacon. Nothing healthy about any sandwiches or burgers in this place but you will keep coming back. Family Run and Owned. They had many locations and now they are down to three or four. All of them are run by the original owners many daughters and are very nice to their patrons. I love it here! read more
