    Very solid burger, would consider a top 3 in Houston. Prices are pretty fair, no more than $13.50 for one of the more deluxe burgers, though 'monster burger' with 1 lb of meat is $21.50. I got the Holy Cow and my fiancée got the Miss Piggie. The Holy Cow had a decent size, and was pretty well balanced. Patty had a good cook to it, and was well-seasoned. My only note is the bun started to fall apart was I was eating it. It's a bit too soft. Fiancée like hers, though it had a raw look to it, which we were told was due to it being a mix of beef and pork, so heads up on that! The french fries were damn good, and quite fairly priced as well. We also got a bowl of house chili. You get a decent amount, but I wouldn't order it again, a bit salty for my taste and the beef was kind of 'crumbly', I think it needs more direct heat and more of a cook before being thrown in a pot. Inside is pretty spacious, kind retro diner look. Bathrooms are clean. Friendly staff, and manager(?) checks up on everyone. Parking is easy, though I'm not sure what the full parking situation is since we went at night.

    Hadn't been back in over 10 years, and it's like the place hasn't aged a day. Still locked in time with its old-school diner counter and antique wall decor. The burgers? Massive. Unapologetically messy, grilled to perfection, and still some of the best in town. I forgot how damn good they were. The chili cheese fries. The kind that make you question how we ever settled for canned chili anywhere else. No beans. No shortcuts. Just chunky tomato, real ground beef, and flavor that punches through. This is chili the way it's supposed to be. Washed it down with a cold sugar cane soda and walked out full, happy, and wondering why I ever waited this long to come back.

    Best burgers in Houston! I came with the family today and the place is a complete diner! I've seen so many wonderful transformations here but the food is and has always been so delicious! I always recommend Stanton's! Today I had the grilled chicken. It has been so long! If you live in Houston or are just visiting, you definitely want to come here. Order and pick up to go or stay and eat. It's so close to downtown and has great service!

    Service was great, place and ambience was what we expected for the location. We ordered the spicy chipotle which was lacking the chipotle sauce, we got a few hints of it, but not much. We also tried the cowboy brunch burger, which was a good size but also lacked flavor, the meat was not a bad quality, but had no flavor and the egg didn't have a runny yolk which in my opinion, sucked. I had the Ms. Piggies burger and it was a disappointment since it mentioned candied bacon and all I got was bacon, the meat again was flavorless, I had to add salt and ketchup to my burger to taste something. Although the burgers were big, the lack of flavor made them pointless.. I'm not mad at it, but I've had better, and would not go back. The Cajun fries were also flavorless fries, they shouldn't be called Cajun, when they are just seasoned fries. Not worth the hype. The $12 we paid for the burgers plus the $4 dollar fries and $3 for the drink was not worth it. For 3 burgers, 3 orders of fries and 3 fountain drinks we paid $64 plus the tip, we paid $73. Try it for yourself, but I don't recommend it.

    After seeing this cute spot in the heights that seemed to be an old-school no frills burger joint, we decided to stop in and get a bit to eat. Both of us were surprised shakes weren't on the menu considering the vibe but that wasn't a big deal . I ordered the equivalent of a mushroom Swiss burger (but asked for the bacon to be on the side) and then an order of waffle fries. The staff at the counter was very friendly as well. When the order came, I was impressed with the soft and fresh bun and was ready to dive in. The burger was a bit meh and thought it really needed fresh veggies like lettuce and red onion to it so it didn't taste so plain. My boyfriend also felt that his burger was good not great. While the decor and ambiance are cute and fun... it seems like it used to be an authentic burger joint with that vibe and now it's just a reminiscent feel and it wasn't kept up. All in all, we'd come back but it won't be at the top of the list and we'd both be making adjustments to our order.

    The patty ans bun may have gotten smaller since my my first visits but it's still a solid choice for a delicious and filling burger. The inside has changed an over time making it bigger and more deli/diner style vs a grocery store. Staff is always super friendly and food comes out quickly.

    This place is like stepping back in time. Great no frills place with incredibly good burgers. I recommend the Ms. Piggy (1/2 ground beef and 1/2 ground bacon) but every burger is tasty. The fries are out of this world as well. The staff are always friendly and it's kid-friendly.

    We called Shara's our order, it was ready soon after our arrival. The atmosphere is a neat vintage diner. Order at the counter and then be seated. The food was solid.

    This is one the of the OG spots that BOTM revisits pretty regularly. Many have claimed as the city's best. I have been a few times and it's a solid burger. I haven't decided on my personal favorite, but you can't go wrong here. They are fresh AF. My burger was HOT. Like burn your mouth kinda temps. Pretty good with customizing and options on the menu. We came out for a pre-game meal. We left full and ready for another win. Give it a shot. Go Coogs!

    This one has been on my radar for a while. I'm glad I finally stopped in. Solid four stars. Great burger. Food: I went with the bacon cheeseburger and it was made to order and made the perfection. A very nice size piece of meat came out that was sizzling hot. Every bite was great. The waffle fries were exceptional. I really enjoyed the crunch. I also like the decor on the inside it's like walking into an old school diner. Great customer service. The young lady that took my order was very nice and my food came out in a decent amount of time. Solid four stars I would definitely come back !

    Great customer service as you walk into a vintage style vibe location with the countertop wrapped around bar and tables on the adjacent side. Greeted us and explain the menu to us old school registers present to show vintage aesthetic vibe . Order two burgers with onion rings and fries some recommendation from the clerk to help us out and taste what is ordered and preferred customers They make their own patties and it looks like bake their own bread have plenty of add-ons and burger styles to customize your order Will definitely return to try out other options

    Bacon cheeseburger

    Very cool place just outside of downtown. The place has history and you can tell as you as you walk in (watch your step!). Vintage hardwood floors. To my surprise they sell Joe Tea. One my my favorite bottled beverages. The burger was OUTSTANDING. Loved the hand formed patty. The bun was a little much but the burger still shined. Waffle fries were nice and crispy. Staff was friendly. I look forward to going back next time I'm in Houston.

    The tots were crispy but tasted slightly of old oil.
    J W.

    Just OK. Was excited based on many reviews that I was going to find a long-hidden gem. Sorry to say it didn't live up to expectations. Got the miss piggie, which is supposed to have a 50/50 burger (beef/bacon), candied bacon, and a hash brown on it. The burger was plenty flavorful but a bit dry. There was not much bacon on it and I couldn't detect anything to 'candied' about it. The hash brown was pretty blah. The fries were OK but the tater tots had kind of an off taste, like maybe old oil or something. It really wasn't as bad as the description makes it out to be. It is pretty harmless, just won't be going back given all the amazing choices in Houston.

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

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
