This is the kinda Mel's diner where you don't know if you love the food, the feelings or the people…read moreyou meet here. I happened upon this after a late night concert and had a great time. I have gone back for nostalgia a few times during the day and the food was still made to order, prices were still reasonably low and the wait staff reminded me of a safe place to get rid of my day and my safe diet. Kinda feels like home, missing your childhood and humble beginnings. Somebody's intoxicated, somebody's on a first date, somebody's passing through, somebody's lost, somebody's on their third meal of the day (motel parking lot adjacent) and the server loves everything about your fancy bracelet or handbag. Sometimes you just need that definitely one of my places for old Times sake. It's humbling. I've yet to try the hot biscuit, but the burger and fries is good anytime.

Hippo Burgers was a a pleasant surprise to find! Knowing that I would be in the area for training,…read moreI decided to look for a lunch option the day before. Hippo Burgers popped up on my Yelp search and was not too far away, so I bookmarked it. Could have went to the Popeyes near by, but I really had a taste for a burger. Reviews were solid, so I figured why not?! Drive was bumpy to HB, but that is typical for the Aldine area, so drive carefully! Parking lot was plentiful even during lunchtime, but I did arrive just before 11:30 so I may have missed the lunch break traffic. Still about half of the restaurant was filled up. The menu is straightforward and outlines the ingredients on the burger. Desiring a burger with bacon, I ordered the BLT Burger- without mayo added mustard. You will find that the burgers are not too overly inclusive with a bunch of toppings but include one ingredient that makes it unique enough to make a statement (i.e. bacon, mushrooms jalepanos...This gives HB time and focus to make an oustanding meaty and flavorful patty to showcase their burgers which gives it that homemade burger vibe. Plus the order came out quick! Portion size was generous and worth the price. Very tasty burger that will keep you full the rest of the day. I cannot forget the fries, which came out fresh and hot. A pinch of salt- just how I like them, which was the deciding factor for me to eat at HB versus driving back to training and risk my fries getting cold! I gladly indulged in every single bite of my burger and fries. Plus, I love that they have Pepsi versus Coke beverages. They sell one cup size for fountain drinks. Dining in? free refills! I also liked that the tables are spaced out and give people room to eat. Tables provided plenty of paper towels as well as you sink your teeth into your burger and possibly get a little undignified. No one will blame you. Good food deserves to be devoured and I most certainly will be back again to indulge accordingly.

Maybe the drinks are solid - but I would not feed the so-called "chicken fried steak" to my dog…read more It was a frozen "meat product" that was supposedly breaded and then frozen at some factory - who knows where. It was shipped frozen and I can only guess they tried to warm it up in a microwave. Honestly, after a few bites I wrapped the remainder of the mystery meat in a napkin so I could avoid direct contact with it. Originally, I was thinking I could give it to my dog. However as a I looked at it inder a better light, I was concerned feeding it to my dog might be the basis for a felony animal abuse case against me.

The second time, I had bread, shrimp, cheese...no lettuce and one little tiny diced cube of tomato.

The gravy over the catfish was good and did improve the overall dish as well. The gumbo was a little more watery than expected. I did think it would have been a bit thicker on the consistency. The gumbo was good though overall.

Texas Roadhouse is addressing online assertions that employees are tampering with Black diners'…read morefood, calling the allegations a hoax and saying it is hiring a third-party firm to investigate them. In a now-deleted social media post, allegedly shared in a Facebook group called "White and proud," a user named Nancy Smith said they worked at an unidentified Texas Roadhouse location and was in a pact with other White servers at the restaurant. While it's unclear whether the page that posted the message is a real or a parody account, the user said in the post that some servers at both Texas Roadhouse and Logan's Roadhouse planned to lick their fingers and touch food before serving it to Black diners. The user also purported in the post that this has been going on for a while, or at least since the April 2025 killing of 17-year-old White teenager Austin Metcalf. Karmelo Anthony, a Black teenager, was charged with murder and sentenced to 35 years in prison for the fatal stabbing in a case that drew national attention. Texas Roadhouse is addressing a viral social media rumor alleging that its employees racially targeted and tampered with Black customers' food. The company strongly denies the claims, declaring them a 100% fabricated online hoax. The beef behemoth is facing growing boycott calls after a TikTok went viral alleging a Facebook group called "White and Proud" was targeting black customers. The TikTok, posted by user Sannie Yeanay, read aloud that white servers were deliberately contaminating food. The user said that the Facebook group had over 400,000 members where white servers discussed heading back to the kitchen's "blind spot," licking their fingers, touching food and spitting on rolls ordered by black diners, according to the claim.
