    We were in the Galleria and craving a burger, so we decided to try Pappa's Burger-best decision we made today. Wife and I both got the cheeseburger, and it was one of the best we have had in Houston. Service was great! Glad we got there when we did. When we left there was a line waiting to be sat. If you are in the area craving a burger, it's worth the wait.

    This is my first time visiting this restaurant, and I was quite impressed with the quality of the Food, the service in the overall quickness from ordering to receiving my food. The ambience is more of a casual diner setting. It was packed in there for a Sunday evening. Al burgers will cook me well and I ordered a burger and added an egg and bacon with some grilled onions. Also ordered onion rings and a sweet tea. The sweet tea is not overly sweet. You can actually taste the tea. The onion rings were really crispy and flavorful. They're the shoestring size on your ring so you got a good crisp and onion and every bite. The burger was better than what I expected in the size of it was so huge. I could not finish my food. I highly recommend to try this place if you have not tried it before you will not be disappointed with items.

    Came here after our cruise, my partner has been here but not me and the kids. Get here early, because it gets really packed in there. You order at the front and they sit you and they drop off the food. My burger was delicious. I got buffalo sauce on the side and omg so good with fries. The kids got strawberry and vanilla milkshake and both said it was tasty. The service was amazing and you pay at the end after your done eating. Overall, this place is great. I would recommend this place.

    This has been our go to spot for premium burgers for years! I can't believe it's been seven years since I've done a review but nothing's changed. The service is still top-notch and they're serving some of the best burgers in town. These are the best burgers in town bottom line.! I did the review today because our waitress Zan and the new manager Yvanna did an outstanding job today! The place was extremely packed but damn doing such a great job we were able to get sat down and our food came out quickly. I've never seen this pack. They did such an amazing job, the entire staff. This is what prompted me to write the review. Everyone knows Pappas burger has the best burgers in town. Bottom line. But I wanted to highlight the customer service today. Zan and the manger Yvanna are simply top notch! Great food and great customer service!

    We love Pappas Burgers! This is by far one of the best burgers you will find in Houston! (And that's saying ALOT!) It's my husbands favorite food, and this is his favorite place for a burger. We went for his birthday recently and they did not disappoint. It's a cool Diner type vibe with a relaxed feel! It is counter service, but they are at your beck and call every minute. A server is in charge of your table when you are seated. The chips and queso are so delicious as well as the fried pickles too! If you're in the mood for this type of food, don't look any further! Excellent place!

    Always great burgers. I hadn't been there in years but no complaints. Service was a bit slow but the burgers and sweet potato fries were tasty. It was very busy for lunch. Now you order in front, grab Seat and they confirm your order at the table, kind of felt like double ordering, but I was there for the food! It was very loud and had TVs playing sports, kind of a very easy going vibe.

    DELICIOUS. IF YOU WANT A QUALITY BURGER PLEASE GO HERE!!! Now the cheeseburger was $17.95 but it was huge and very good. The fries were cooked perfectly and we had a good time here

    Came here with my family while my brother was home honestly the food was amazing and so filling. The huge portions was amazing and the Oreo milkshake was to die for. With the atmosphere being very old school diner which was really nice. The only thing bad I can really say is they messed up my brothers order but they fixed it immediately and we're super sweet about it.

    I love the Burgers from Pappas BBQ so I had to finally check out the Pappas Burgers restaurant. I went simple with the Cheeseburger but let me tell you this burger packed a punch with flavor, you can't go wrong with steak based burgers, apparently they source their beef from next door at Pappas bros steak house. Our server Valentine was excellent he explained everything about the restaurant and the menu and had our drink refills on par. We will definitely be back.

    I have finally come and eat here, it was definitely one of the best burger I had in a while. You order at the counter and then you bring you slip to your table and then your server will confirm your orders and they will bring your food out to your table. It still have the old school burger diner feel but lots of TVs on the wall, it feel a bit chaotic in a good way. The burger may seem expensive. You do get a pretty big burger with high quality meat for the patty. It is worth it here and you can see why they are busy for a reason.

    Has been some time since we visited Pappa's for burgers and they won on a Sunday night from a list of great choices. The place was hopping around 7:30. Has a Diner feel and decor with a smaller Bar. You order first and then wait for seating- if there aren't any open tables, they come over and find you to take you to your table. We had about a 15 minute wait. Most of us ordered burgers from the Guacamole burger to the Peppercorn Burger and there was a shrimp basket, Buffalo Wings as well mozzarella bites. Fried Shrimp and Wings were good/standard with the mozzarella bites as the crowd favorite. My guacamole burger was tasty with a few toppings coming together and playing nicely. I remember from previous visits thinking if they have house ground prime beef why is the only choice for temperature medium well?-it doesn't really add up and although I do like the taste of the burger, I think it would be much better if they offered it medium or to your temperature liking. Service was fun and attentive and our server took great care of us. They managed the peak quite well. Good one for the atmosphere and could be a top contender in the H-town Burger scene if they changed the meat temperature options.

    Stopped in for a nice lunch with some of my team from culinary school. The ambience and vibes were amazing along with everything being made fresh to order. Service was great and they did an amazing job making sure that our entire group was served with great professionalism and in a timely manner. Definitely will be visiting again.

    Is there a drive thru?

    No, there is not a drive thru, you must go inside to pickup or curbside.

    Why are the prices so high?

    Considering it is a Pappas restaurant, they use top quality and fresh ingredients. The same reason 5 guys is expensive. They deliver large portions with unlimited sauces/ingredients. Want extra blue cheese crumbles? Free. Want a large side of ranch… 

    Are the burgers grilled on a flat top or over a flame/charcoal grill?

To start off with a positive, I thought the falafel patty had a really great taste and was absolutely the highlight of the burger. But outside of that the burger and the toppings I ordered just didn't work as well as I would've liked. I ordered my burger with mushrooms and sauteed onions, both toppings I know I absolutely love from making burgers at home and from other spots, but neither added much. At first I was worried that the falafel was overpowering them both but upon eating them by themselves they just lacked taste. We also got the scallion aioli on the burger and I never got a hint of it at any point. All in all, the burger was very much mediocre outside of the patty. We also got fries with the burger and while they absolutely had some potential they were extremely over seasoned. Any appreciation for the seasonings in a vacuum was immediately overshadowed by how salty they were. We also ordered the Sambal Mayo as a dipping sauce and while it did help subdue the insane salt level and overall tasted quite good, upon writing this review I found out by looking at their online menu that it contained some amount of shrimp. This information is nowhere to be seen on the ordering slip and wasn't mentioned when I handed it over to the person working at the cash register. And while I definitely accept some level of responsibility for not doing my due diligence and asking or letting them know of my dietary restrictions, it's still an extremely frustrating thing to have happen as both a vegetarian and someone with a mild shellfish allergy. If for whatever reason the online menu is out of date or I missed an obvious indication of it containing shrimp somewhere I am more than happy to edit my review.

I went with the Double Good Burger at Johnny Good Burger, and honestly... it was surprisingly good. Perfectly smashed patties with those crispy edges, juicy inside, and well-balanced flavors that didn't feel overcomplicated. Sometimes simple just works--and this definitely did. The fries deserve their own shoutout: extra crispy, hot, and downright addictive. No soggy sadness here. I kept telling myself "just one more" until the tray was mysteriously empty. All in all, a very satisfying burger experience. If you're in the mood for a legit smash burger and happen to be wandering POST Houston, this one's absolutely worth stopping for.

The burgers are big enough to share if you are doing a burger & fries because as you can see in the photos, it is so much food, definitely paying for quantity over quality here.
