    During a conference my coworkers and I walked here. When we walked up we were a bit confused as to where to go because the hostess station is in the far back of the restaurant. We had a great time here as the weather was perfect to sit outside. Our waiter was great even though he disappeared after we got our food. I loved the different options of burgers and I chose the one with the blueberry compote. The bun was toasted and soft and meat was cooked to perfection. The fries came hot and crispy in some places. If I was back downtown I would come back hands down.

    The burgers are on the smaller side here but I love the selection! It was my first time here but the friends I came with all generally agreed that the burgers were smaller than they remembered (not sure if there's been a downsizing over time or if they had larger portions from other locations). I went for The Luv Ya Blue, which had great flavor and texture from the bleu cheese slaw. The waiter recommended it cooked Medium Well. I also ordered the Salted Caramel Pretzel milkshake and saw stars with how good it was- I would come back for the milkshakes alone. The pairing was also suprisingly good. There's decent street parking and a paid lot across from the restaurant. Sit outside during the cooler nights, the patio is spacious and they have a few games like Ring Swing and Connect Four. I do wish the portion sizes were a little bigger but this is a great place for a fun date night or a casual outing with friends. I'm already looking forward to my next visit! - Ambiance: 5/5 - Food: 4/5 - Service: 5/5

    NEW FAVORITE BURGER PLACE!!!!! First time visiting and we were blown away. Loved that it was inside & outside. There were fun games for everyone to play with such as Hook & Ring and giant Connect 4. DOG FRIENDLY!!!! Our server Morgan was awesome and gave great recommendations. We got the Bodacious burger, Billy F Gibbons burger, & Homemade Goat Chips. Morgan gave us a sample of the goat chips before we decided to order them. Highly recommend this place!!

    Service was amazing. We sat at the bar, the employee of the month is exactly that and for a reason. Both ladies behind bar were working so hard and doing it well. Our bartender was amazing and attentive. We got the loaded fries with brisket chili, I'm not sure we would get these again. We expected a BED of chili to where we could scoop it up and eat it, I ordered this as my meal so I was a little sad when there was not enough chili to actually eat, it's a thin layer of chili, a ton of fries (which were so good) and then all the fixins. I think it's good it tasted great, it just wasn't exactly what we expected on the chili side of things. My husband got the Hot Bastard burger and loved it. It looked gooooood too! I ended up getting a mini slider for some protein and that burger was . Come for the burgers & maybe stay for the fries too We watched sports, watched the people outside too haha. Outdoor seating and games available. Cute spot. Will be back!

    Walked in at lunch time as part of the ACHE convention that has 7,000 attendees and they were busy but had things under control. Nice outside patio and large welcoming indoor area too. I sat at the inside bar. My order was taken in quickly and came out in just under 15 minutes. The burger was very good, know that when you order a burger that's all you get. I ordered the sweet potato fries and they were cooked perfectly but were over salted to me. I knocked some of it off and they were fine. The burger was juicy, the bun was soft, and the egg was cooked just enough to not create a total mess but enough to add the creaminess.

    BODACIOUS

    Tried Rodeo Goat and got the Bodacious Burger -- really tasty and a great value at $13. The burger was flavorful, satisfying, and definitely worth the price. It was extremely busy when I went, especially inside, with people waiting for tables and a pretty hectic atmosphere. I ordered pickup, and it was ready right away, which made things much easier. One thing to keep in mind: parking was full during that time, so I had to use the paid parking lot across the street. If you're going on a Saturday, expect crowds and plan ahead. Great burger, but be ready for the rush.

    Rodeo Goat is one of my go-tos for burgers in Houston. It has a wide range of all incredible burgers with a high variety of flavor profiles all with super fresh and high quality ingredients. I think I could close my eyes point to a random burger and be genuinely impressed and satisfied. The fries are also delicious! Great drink specials and a really nice vibe to go and chill after work or enjoy a weekend day. The service has always been super friendly and high quality. My constructive feedback would be to have a person walk you to a table as it can take a little bit to get service as you seat yourself. It's a communication opportunity more than a complaint here. Do come to Rodeo Goat!!

    Rodeo Goat is tucked behind the George R Brown Convention Center, on what some people might call the wrong side of downtown, but it's well worth making the effort. I walked there, but there looked to be ample parking. It was reasonably busy, but I found a seat at the bar and was quickly served. I ordered the Chaca Oaxaca burger with sweet potato fries, and I ordered well. These folks are doing good work.

    CHEESE FRIES NO SURPRISE
    Ashley E.

    $4 Moontangs ALL DAY when the Astros are playing (normally $9). Great drink that is not overly sweet. Super smooth consistency. 1/2 price fries ALL DAY every Wednesday. They have 1/2 or full orders of fries btw. The food and service were both phenomenal. Fries are fully loaded and covered is gooey cheese. Absolute guilty pleasure! The bun holds up to the burger and all its toppings. Everything tastes fresh and homemade. My only complaint is they forgot the jalapeños on my fries and my salad was also missing the hard boiled eggs.

    This place is a go-to for a solid burger in the EaDo area! I've been here about 2 times already and both times I was super pleased with what I got (I don't quite remember what I got in the picture). As someone who doesn't typically pick burgers as their meal of choice, especially when going out to eat, I'd always agree to come back here because of how good the food is. Service is usually pretty quick to take your order, but when it's busy it is a bit harder to feel attended to and flag down a waiter (which is completely understandable). This is an extremely casual spot and is great for pre-game meals. Parking is a bit tricky because of the location. You can get lucky with street parking or park in the metered lot across the street. I'd highly recommend this place as a must-try for burgers in Houston though especially if you find yourself in the area.

    This place lives up to the hype so much that I had no issue going again when a different friend asked to go!!! Both nights I came it was easy to seat ourselves at a table and get served. Inside is great but they have great outdoor space with that ring game a lot of bars have. All the servers were super nice. The first time I got the river oaks cc and the second time I got the royals with cheese which I loved more than the river oaks!!! The beef was delicious and I loved the jalapeño spice. We got the cheese fries both nights which is a massive platter with plenty to share!!! Overall loved my experience and would highly recommend.

    Rip wheeler . Sugar burger in a bowl
    Suelynn N.

    My husband and I came here for dinner. When you come in, you sit yourself down to where you want to sit and a waiter wait will come to you to take your order. There's an indoor and outdoor area. We order the rip wheeler and sugar burger in a bowl because I'm trying to keep a low carb diet. I actually like the rip wheeler more. It's very savory with a nice texture and ratio of ingredients with a slight coffee after taste. the burger in the bowl was decent. The leaves were not soggy or oily. The onion rings were amazing. They were huge and crispy! Our waiter was very nice and quick. This is a good place for like a casual date or a casual family meal especially if you want to have burgers for dinner. There is meter street parking and a paid parking lot across the street.

    Sweet Potato Fries (Ask for Ranchero sauce)
    Jc G.

    In town for Hyrox and we were super hungry after competing. Police officers suggested this place when I asked for a good burger spot close to the convention center. It was a quick/easy 10 minute walk. Server was amazing! She answered all questions and went above and beyond. Her suggestions were on point, everything we had was top notch! Place is spacious with good vibes. Food was fire! Sweet potato fries with their ranchero sauce was the perfect side to the burger. I can't remember the name of it but it was the double smash burger with THICK slices of bacon and fried onion strings. I will be back and I definitely suggest you try it!

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.

The basic burger is $12, and anything you want to add or replace is extra. Now that's including the basic sauce, which I thought would be an additional homemade sauce if I needed. Again, I am learning. I ordered grilled chicken, but at the counter, a very nice person, Eric, told me they were out of grilled chicken and had fried chicken available. I guess so, since I spend some time. I don't want to wait any longer. I also ordered homemade lemonade, which came with lots of ice. I requested that some ice be removed. I also added chard jalapenos, which were tasteless and slightly burned, so they lost their flavor. The food pick-up area was separate, and the guy who gave you a food tray could have been friendlier and said thank you. Oh well, my burger was a piece of chicken with lettuce and onion. It was ok but very dry inside. So make sure you order sauce or anything for your burger, and pay for it. When I got there, the dining hall was empty. I like this place, but plz if you're going there for the first time, read the menu carefully and place your order. Service could be friendlier, and the dining hall was clean.

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
