The meat taste fresh and juicy. I like the way it's wrapped so that you can hold it while eating it. The fries however are okay. They are not my favorite fries but I do want some fries with my order. The menu is very limited but if you've never been here they have a secret menu. The inside is like old fashion diner style, which gives you a nostalgic feel. You order at the counter and they call your number.

My friend and I were originally headed to Pluckers Wing Bar, one of our favorites, but the wait was…read more45 minutes to an hour. He suggested Portillo's instead. I asked what they had, and he said burgers... which doesn't help me since I don't eat beef. I told him if they had chicken sandwiches, we could go. Not only did they have chicken sandwiches... they had SPICY chicken sandwiches. And whatever that sauce is? Delicious. This is one of those places where you can order at the kiosk or with the staff behind the counter... we went with the staff. Customer service from everyone was top tier. I loved how the whole team was engaged and actually providing real customer service. The vibe gives classic bar-and-grill energy, and the food? Really good. I didn't expect it to hit like that, but it did. I ordered the spicy chicken sandwich with fries and a Dr. Pepper... and yes, the Dr. Pepper was on point too. Overall, the experience was great. I told my friend if I ended up liking this place, I was going to resent him... Well... resentment felt. P.S. The bathrooms could've used a little attention. They weren't the cleanest, but that was my only issue.

You walk to the front of the house where Angie immediately greets you with all the southern hospitality on the planet. Teams are smashing whole potatoes into fries and the place is BUZZING with activity. Clean including bathrooms. Food was ready faster than you can expect and steaming hot. First bite and you're like likely one of the best cheesesteaks I've had and I'm a fan of them. I did not get spicey but will be back to try it and possibly tomorrow. Toasted Kaiser roll crunched at first bite. Just an awesome sandwhich. So glad I found this hidden Houston gem. Now I have to work out an extra thirty minutes at the gym because this will be a once a week stop. Well done to this team. VERY IMPRESSED.

This was my second or third time visiting Tornado Burger, and unfortunately this particular visit…read morewas disappointing. At the drive-thru, the interaction felt rushed and somewhat dismissive. There was no greeting at the window, and when I requested an extra honey mustard for my 5-count chicken tenders (since only one is typically provided), I was told there would be an additional charge. I didn't mind paying because I wanted enough sauce for my meal, but the tone felt a bit irritated. After placing my order, I pulled forward to wait. A different employee brought my food and was very pleasant and courteous, which I appreciated. However, when I checked my order, the extra sauce I paid for was not included. I had to go back through the line to address it. The original employee did provide the missing sauce at that point, and her demeanor was more positive during that interaction. The main issue came at the end of my meal, when I found a hair in the bottom of my fry basket. That completely ruined my experience. Overall, I've had better visits in the past, but based on this experience, I'm hesitant about returning.

First time here, prices are decent - got 2 burgers and 1 chicken sandwich, shared regular fries and a chili cheese fry. The burger my mom had was a bit salty - it was basically the double patty cheeseburger. The CHICKEN SANDWICH.... i would solely go back just for that sandwich!!!!! it was delicious. It's way better than chick fil a sandwich - the batter of the chicken and the crunch was amazing - tender too. The restaurant probably seats no more than 20 people and parking is tough - probably no more than 6 spots in the parking lot. You can probably park on the side of the road or across the street and walk over though. Restaurant was clean! Service was quick and the people were nice.

I believe this building was a former Coney Island. As mentioned earlier, I have driven right by this place everyday as it's tucked beneath the 59 S bridge, and it happens to be RIGHT before my exit to get home along the feeder. I can't say I've ever heard of Cabo Bob's, but it feels like Chipotle with more options and variety. The option for different flavored tortillas is a nice touch. They also have different types of sauces out of squeeze bottles when you dine in which adds to the already flavorful food, if you want to go the flavor town route. Price is comparable to its competitors. Another plus is the fountain drinks they offer are not your typical Coco Cola vs. Pepsi. They use drinks from the Baja Bottling Co, which uses cane sugar. All in all, we had a great experience here. Will be returning whenever we are in the mood for the burritos and tacos!

Got the original burger and it's definitely wider than the In N Out burger, which means more sliced tomatoes, lettuce and onions, but it is more flat.

This is a remarkable compliment as she likes very few sandwiches outside a narrow selection of Italian subs with a specific set of modifications and instructions. She's from New York... need I say more? As part of a promotional I received a complimentary hamburger. I had it for lunch the following day and dressed it up with fresh veggies, a slice of American cheese and a bit of mayo. I didn't expect much, but was pleasantly surprised.
