    Single  SPICY JALAPEO SMASH meal

    Very good super sweet siham and Elisa very good service and food very good the atmosphere was very calm so over all a 10/10 will come again I received my food very fast and hot

    Scorching hot fries grease/ oil

    Got to the restaurant and noticed there was only 1 customer. So I decided to dine in. I go to the register and no one is there. I wait about 1 min and I get helped. I ordered the spicy jalapeño smash burger, scorching hot fries and a drink. Total: $20.21 Sooooo this is where the review starts. When ordered the scorching hot fries, I did not realize I was charged for the Large size instead of the Regular size. It's debatable if it's my fault for not saying regular (or laying attention), but I would assume they would put regular or ask about the size. The price difference is about 50 cents. I didn't appreciate that part. Next, I get to my seat and wait 12mins to get my order. It's a normal wait time, I believe because they aren't like other fast food burger places. I start to eat my food and the fries taste just like regular fries, just oily. So I ask the employee if I got the scorching hot fries and he said yes. And gave me a container with more sauce. The fries did not taste in any way shape or form spicy or hot. Maybe they should be called, "greasy hot fries". I do not recommend them. Anyways, the burger was very well made. Good amount of jalapeños and cheese. Good temperature as well. Customer Service: 7/10 Burger: 9/10 Scorching Hot Fries: 2/10 Drink: 9/10 Cleanliness: 8/10 Portion Size: 8.5/10

    Nettie and the gang are awesome. This is my favorite place to bring my mom when I come to visit, friendly staff, amazing food, and don't forget the smash tots. Thanks Nettie!

    Hair

    I used to eat here all the time but not anymore the place refused to do anything after I called them about there being disgusting hair in my food that my kid and I had ate, they didn't want to take responsibility because it was ordered through Uber, like please don't bs me my food was sealed when I got it, like do you know how disgusting it is to pull hair that's not yours out of your mouth Y'all don't ever come here, disgusting asf

    Heard the hype about this burger chain. Went on a slow Sunday afternoon and the restaurant was...pretty much empty. The cashier was nice enough, polite. Nothing came as a combo meal like in other burger joints everything had to be ordered separately driving up the cost. The restaurant was clean and neatly organized. The food? The burger in this case; Wasn't as salty as other fast food places. Still nothing to write home about. It's like a burger one can find at Shake Shack. Enjoyed the sweet potatoes fries tho. Will I go back? Most likely not, nothing really wrong but not a burger fan either.

    Literally 1/3 full

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. Decent amount of tables and good parking situation outside

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.

    I rarely get the chance (or give myself permission) to indulge in a proper smash burger, so when I…read moresaw people casually walking around POST Houston with this thing in hand, curiosity got the best of me. 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.

There were no other customers at the time, but that's to be expected for a slow Monday. The menu is quite simple with just 4 different entrees, 3 different ways to order fries, and a few soft drink options in a cold case. Everything here is a la carte but there is a combo option where you can save about $3 off the regular menu pricing. I chose the "Double Good" and added a patty for $3 more figuring the patties are most likely very thin. The burger comes with lettuce, onion tomato, pickles and special sauce. I subbed the American for Swiss, but the Swiss ended up being a Swiss-American blend, so it tasted mostly like American cheese which I hate. I keep having bad luck with Swiss lately. The patty is about 1/4 lb and tastes similar to a home cooked burger. I ended up setting the burger down and just eating the patty with a fork since I didn't like the taste of the cheese, sauce, or the entire burger as a whole after a handful of bites. Overall, I'm glad I finally tried it but this is not a burger I would come back for, especially at this price point.

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
