Bacon Cheeseburger (added lettuce and onions); Cheese Fries
Anastacia S.

Let me say, I have never heard of a Shake Shack before--and the group I was with was appalled. We came here for dinner, so I got the bacon burger, cheese fries, and Black & White Shake (vanilla custard with chocolate sauce). I didn't leave a morsel behind. I talked about it all night long, and I couldn't have been happier with my selection. The shake was really the standout of the night, since the custard makes for a really rich and thick shake. Now, I just have to find if they have one of these back in Cali...

Solid food chain burger. Downtown is always a pain to park but can usually find some around this location. Burger is tasty as always but this location didn't have all the items listed on the website.

I just left this place. The staff is kind and the location was nice and clean. The food was consistent with other Shake Shacks. Excellent!

Chicken Bites and Spicy Cheese Fries
John D.

This Shake Shack location is hard to find on this app so you'll have to access its page through Google. However, that little inconvenience -- for me, at least -- doesn't diminish the nice late lunch I had here yesterday before the Astros game. I found the place on a whim after I discovered that Finn Hall was closed for the Labor Day holiday. While Shake Shack is apparently well-known for its burgers, its Chicken Bites turned me into an instant fan. Fresh and hot out of the fryer, each bite released a juiciness you can't find in Chicken McNuggets. The buffalo sauce augmented their goodness. I can't forget about the Spicy Cheese Fries, either. They're a solid side to pair with the Chicken Bites. I must mention that both can be eaten with a fork.

Ordered to go (as always now due to COVID) two shake shack burgers & cheese fries. The fries come hot, and not soggy! The burgers were great as always. I personally like in and out burger more, and I think the price is much better than Shake Shack. We will get shake shack every once in awhile though and they have quick service! You can't go wrong either since shake shack is a bit closer to us than any in and out burger joint.

Missed it the last time was in San Fran. Was going for the 5 starred Filipino fusion cuisine but not open, SS was second choice. Wow. This is much better than I expected. Organic, healthy, and hormone free. This appears to be tastier than In-N-Out burgers. The dbl smoke shack shake disappeared very quickly. Someone wolfed it down before I realize it was me eating a "gourmet" burger. Lochart Burger, only available in Texas, vanished before I can even take a picture. Pretty good. The Shroom burger, for a veggie burger, was very satisfying. Chicken bites were also delicious. Will repeat.

Roll Em Up is tucked away in a strip center across from a Hope Depot, an apartment complex, a Total…read moreWine, a Kroger, and a McDonalds. So, it's easy to get overlooked. They offer a menu that really covers a lot of different cravings. Their namesake taquitos look appetizing, but my main focus was their Tuesday Taco box. You get 10 tacos, with a ground beef or potato option, as well as a large order of fries. The box included a large red sauce and a couple of green sauces. The green was my favorite. I opted to get 5 and 5. If you order online, you have to specify in the order comments/notes section. The tacos were crispy. They were stuffed with cheese and lettuce, in addition to the ground beef/ potatoes. The fries were crispy. The best part, on Tuesdays, the entire box is 25.00! It was a good experience. Pickup was fast and they were so nice. It's a family owned business and they aim to please.

My son was in town for the holidays, and where he lives now, there just aren't alot of good Mexican…read morefood spots. I wouldn't say this place is an authentic Mexican food spot, but it's close enough. Tex Mex if you will. We were trying to find something to eat in the area to meet up some fam and came across this place on Yelp. I actually had it bookmarked for awhile so I was more than happy to cross another spot of my to do list. Located in a busy shopping center in the Heights, there is alot of parking available, but at busy times, you may need to drive around a little. The restaurant itself isn't huge, but there was plenty of seating inside as well as a small patio outside. I like that they also have board games and what not so they aren't trying to rush you out, but want to make it seem like a hangout spot. Customer service was amazing from start to finish. The young lady taking our order went above and beyond explaining their concept and describing each item they had. During our meal, they checked in on us frequently and made sure we were enjoying our experience. You may or may not have guessed it by the name, but Roll Em Up Taquitos specializes in taquitos. A taquito is a rolled up tortilla filled with different toppings and then deep fried. How can you go wrong with that! They also have items like tacos, a taco burger, taco salads, bowls, nachos and loaded fries. We came for the namesake item. Between our group, we got all the different varieties of taquitos available. I got a 4 pack in which you can mix and match fillings. I went with all the options of beef, chicken and potato. You then pick your topping style. They have loaded which is a cheesy, saucy options. OG is more of a traditional preparation with lettuce, queso fresco, guac and sour cream. Enchilada style is doused with enchilada sauce and cheese. I got mine loaded. The packs also come with rice and beans. For 13 bucks, it's a pretty hearty meal. The taquitos came out freshly made and had the most wonderful crunch with every bite, even with all the sauces. I imagine getting them to go or waiting awhile might take away from how it is intended to be eaten. I tried bites of the other variations and they were all tasty. I think I like the OG way the best though. The taquitos were delicious, but the big surprise was how delicious the rice and beans were. We couldn't stop talking about how good it was. We also tried a side of the street corn in a cup. This item was not a fave of the table. It was too citrus forward and something I would skip next time. For drinks, they have fountain drinks, refreshers, Jamaica and even horchata. I went with a mango refresher which was very refreshing and tasty. To finish it all off, we had to satisfy the sweet tooth with some churro donuts. These things were so so good. They made sure to bring it out towards the end of the meal so they were hot and fresh. I recommend everyone requests it that way. I wish this spot wasn't so far from home. Well maybe it's a good thing because I would be here often. I will most definitely be back if in the area.

Nice cozy place, perfect setting for fried chicken. I am sure they had other stuff, but that was the mission for this visit. Started with fried pickle spears, probably the best I have ever had, no joke. Perfect coating, taste and preparation. I like the spears vs the chips. Had the special which was to legs and two thighs for the price of the 3 pc dark. Beans and slaw. Ok, the chicken was great, moist, seasoned, very well cooked. I will go out of my way to go here for the chicken. Beans, canned with a little flavor added, nothing to brag about the slaw was pretty good. The fries on my friend's plate looked great. Perfect. We got here at about 1145, the place was busy. By 1215, it was packed, but they move people through and do a booming take out. Try it, you will like it. It satisfied my fried chicken desire and. Am set for a bit, but still want to go get more!!

I enjoyed their fried chicken, which for around $12, came with a thigh and leg, along with ample amounts of coleslaw and fried okra. Even I, as a voracious eater, could not finish all the sides. The chicken itself was beautifully fried in peanut oil, and truly one of the best, juiciest, fried chicken pieces I have ever had. This place is an example of simplicity at its finest. If you are in Houston and craving some down to earth fried chicken, Gus's is the place to go!

So our normal place to go get good fried chicken closed. So we were looking for a new place that…read morewould have very crispy. Very delicious fried chicken. We looked up family style chicken so we could have chicken and some sides and be able to sit down and eat and we stumbled upon Tumble 22. Let me tell you we were not disappointed. It's here in the Heights off of Houston Avenue and Washington. And we were greeted and seated immediately. Our server Zeid (so?!) brought our new little server in training Johan and once we went over the menu and decided what we wanted to do for appetizers we ordered the heavenly deviled eggs. Do not pass that up - they are heavenly. The devil part is so good and the bacon on top absolutely delicious. And they came out right away. So we ordered the 1/2 mix. That came with a large breast and thigh and a drumstick and a wing. You get two sides with it which we ordered the collard greens and the mac & cheese. Then it came with cute little bread and butter pickles stuck on top of it. That chicken was so crispy and so hot because it came right out of the fire. And the collard greens were very good. They had turkey in them and just all kinds of stuff. The mac & cheese was really creamy very good. And it was enough for both of us to share. And it was only $17. I could not believe it. We like to always try a little bit of everything. So there are different levels of heat you can get on your chicken and we just got the regular traditional. But next time I think we're gonna try the one up with the little jalapeño in it. So then for dessert, my husband got the chocolate pecan toffee pie. And it is Chuck full of pecans and toffee and chocolate in there. It came out cold and it was delicious. I got the peanut butter chocolate mousse pie. But I got that to go, so I'll let you know later how that is, but it looked delicious. So we had a lemonade which was freshly made and tea and that large meal of chicken and sides and two desserts and our appetizer and it was only $45. . I'll tell you what if you want to have a great meal not expensive they've got kids menus that are a lot less because kids tend to waste so they're small enough that I think my grandkids would eat them with no problem. But the chicken was really good. We will definitely be back. Check them out and tell them Miss Lou sent you

The host/person, sitting our party of 4, didn't bother to ask if we wanted a booth or table. They tried to sit us right in the front at a table for 6 while there were several booths/tables for 4 available (more to come about this later). The server took our drink order (soda/water) and they couldn't remember who ordered what. The soda machine was directly behind us so they didn't have to go very far to get them. 2 of us ordered The O. G. (1 w/o mayo), the other 2 people order the Tupelo Hot Honey, and the Dive Burger. All but 1 ordered French fries the other ordered Mac and Cheese. The food came out quickly. The issue when they brought out our food is that they had a hard time letting us know which chicken sandwich was which. The person who ordered the burger was underwhelmed. They said it was good, but not anything extraordinary. They did enjoy their Mac and Cheese. As we were eating our food the host sat a couple at that table for 6 and as they were waiting on their food a larger party came in. Had the couple not offered to move they wouldn't have been able to sit the larger party. Overall, the food was great, but the service could be better. Will be back to try their grilled version of their chicken sandwiches.

First of all, my son had his eye on a specific toy for his Happy Meal, and the staff looked through all the toys to see if they could find that specific one. Then, less than a minute after opening his chocolate milk, while pretending to fly his new toy through the air, he spilled pretty much every last drop of it on the floor. Grandma asked the staff if we could get a mop because there was now a giant chocolate puddle underneath us, mostly on my feet. (So giant I had to wipe down my sandals/feet before we left because I was leaving a trail of chocolate footprints on the floor when I got up to get more napkins.) Instead, they gave us a new chocolate milk, which we didn't ask for or expect, and told us they would clean up the spill. I wish I would have noted the names of the people who helped us because they were so accommodating in toy selection and chocolate milk replacement, which helped turn my son's tears back into a smile. The only reason this wasn't five stars for me is that I wish McDonald's had some healthier options on the menu for adults (like a salad), and their chicken nuggets can't hold a candle to Chickfila chicken nuggets. (Not that that is something an individual location can change.) However, I do think Mcdonald's has the best kids' meal toys, which is one reason we will be back. (I believe McDonald's is planning to reduce the plastic in Happy Meal toys by 2025 to reduce plastic waste - hopefully the toys stay just as good!)
