Excellent food, delicious burgers and potatoes chips, but the best part was the attentive service offered by Janelle. She was so caring and friendly and such a delight to interact with. read more

This place is located right off of I10. I stopped here on a work trip with some friends. The restaurant wasn't too fancy looking but it had great reviews. The place is the home of the biggest burger I've ever ordered and eaten. This was even after I asked for 3 topping to be removed. This mountain of a burger was called the Alamo Burger. Would I get it again, absolutely! The uniquely shaped fries were an excellent side for this monster burger. The staff were great and friendly, so I would definitely come back. read more

Texas Forever Bar & Grill - The Alamo Burger - Bars Near Me - Channelview, Texas

I love the concept of Texas-sized burgers and the large variety of substitutions available. I can say the owner is a real burger king when it comes to creativity and the burgers are definitely picture worthy. Prices were reasonable based on the portion sizes and the menu is full of savory items but unfortunately the burgers lacked flavor and was a big disappointment. Upon my second visit, the service I received was subpar. Staff were lounging around, inattentive and had no sense of urgency. Everything including my drink tasted completed different than the first visit. The waiter wasn't very knowledgeable of the menu and my cocktail and entrée were sent back because they were wrong. I'm not a fan of their location - sharing the same building with a gas station. It's an ick for me and seems a bit uncleanly, even the parking lot is a bit shady. In my opinion, this business would thrive if they had their own brick and mortar opposed to a gas station. It's a no for me at this time but I want so badly to like this place. I'd like to give them another try in the future. read more

What a little gem! Clean little spot off the freeway and next to gas station. Friendly staff and they serve alcohol too. Lol. Sad I was not able to partake. The portions are huge. Hubby and I could have shared. Ended up taking half our food to go. The chicken fried chicken was cooked perfectly. The sides were good too. The pork chops, ohhhh mmmm geeee were sooo good. read more

Don't let the location next to the gas station fool you!!!! The food is fantastic! Tastes homemade and absolutely fresh. We prefer chicken fried chicken, chicken fried steak, and pork chops with sides of corn, mashed potatoes, green beans, and okra. The corn was so crisp and fresh, not mushy. The okra was fried just right. Service was great. Restaurant was clean and tidy. Highly recommend this restaurant. read more

The place is really nice and Tammy is a really nice severe. The prices are teally good. Also the food is absolutely amazing.

Disappointing. We stop here every year on our annual Thanksgiving trip. While the website largely appears to be intact the actual restaurant only serves about 20% of the listed menu. Things that they still do they do fine and the staff is very very pleasant. But I wouldn't come out of my way to eat here anymore. read more

This is actually a pretty nice place inside and you certainly wouldnt expect it from the outside, considering the area. I was working in the area and saw them on yelp and figured I'd give them a shot. I sat at the bar since I was dining alone and most other people seemed to be in groups and sat at tables. They have a decent size menu with the usual American items, like apps, salads, burgers and entrees. This place seems to specialize in burgers, namely extreme burgers, so I decided to order one. I kept mine fairly simple. But others ordered very tall burgers with lots of toppings. You can get as many patties as you like and being this is a truck stop. I can imagine some people are going to come in hungry and order several patties at once. They have a 2nd customizable burger menu, a paper menu you have to ask for, since they only give you their main menu upon being seated. There are several burgers on the main menu already, but with no indication on how large they are. Nobody seemed to know either, so they handed me the burger only menu. Be aware its a la carte and when you start adding toppings, it's gets pricy quickly. If I ever make it back here, I'd love to try the chopped ribeye burger....sounds delish! I ordered their largest single patty burger, a 12oz burger on brioche, with cheddar and bacon jam. I also added garlic fries. This is kind of where they started going downhill. When the burger came out, there were several problems with it, also with the fries. The fries were seasoned like cajun seasoning, so I knew right away they weren't garlic. They gave me the wrong cheese, gave me American instead of cheddar also gave me a standard bun instead of brioche. I can understand 1 mistake, but thats like 3 on a simple hamburger. The good news is that the patty was tasty and well seasoned. It almost tasted like a charcoal burger. It was cooked perfectly as well which is not easy on a 12oz patty. They obviously need to make some improvements on their process. Since there is no point in having a customized burger menu if you can't even bring out the one the customer orders. Also, they had quite a bit of staff working the prep area, bar area, and kitchen the day I visited. This definitely caused some confusion between staff. The girls at the counter were very friendly and let me try their tornado fries. Which are basically twisted fries made with a machine. They did correct my fries since I cause that right away. It took a few mins to catch the wrong cheese and bun. And I didn't have them correct those....I just kept eating, even though they offered. read more

Came to this spot for dinner and it was delicious. I ordered the southwest chicken dinner with Mac and cheese and red beans and rice. Every thing was delicious and they served a lot . read more

The food and service are always great! Reasonable prices and large portions. Chicken fried chicken and sides are always good. I ordered a la carte to create a breakfast plate and my partner ordered the fried pork chop with eggs, hashbrowns, and toast. All of it was fresh and delicious. Free coffee with a purchase of a breakfast plate! Come on, you cannot beat that (That saves you $5 for two coffees)! I believe the menu changes at times. My mom used to order the grilled cheese and tomato soup. It is no longer on the menu; however, we were told if they have the ingredients on hand they don't mind making that for her! Yes, it is a truck stop diner. It is off the freeway and the location/time caters to the people working in that area. If you aren't put off by that and just want some great homemade food you should stop by and give it a try read more

Good fresh homemade food in filling portions and great customer service. Clean restaurant.

Ordered the following items: Cheeseburger 4/5 Diablo burger 4/5 Tornado fries 5/5 Chicken with mushroom sauce on top 1/5 This was really dry and wasnt seasoned well. No salt and pepper packets available Green beans side 5/5 Mustard greens side 3/5 Fried pickles 3/5 Fried jalapeños 5/5 Grilled cheese and mac and cheese 2/5 Overall, the place has potential but we likely ordered the wrong items. We will stick to rhe burgers next time! We will be back! The waiter was very nice and he did his best to accommodate a large group. The kitchen failed him by letting cold food come out (my grilled chicken was very cold with hot sides). The drink specials are also a plus! Though the blue drink i pictured isn't too tasty, for the price, was good enough! We will come back for the burgers, seafood platter (my sister had it before) and fries! Beware of plated food. read more

Taking a star off because they charged an inflation fee on top of our check. It was weird and I would've taken it better via higher prices than a flat upcharge..idk why it really bothered us. Foods always good and portions are decent. read more

Everything about this place is awesome. Our waitress Larissa was amazing and the food was spectacular. The portions are truly texas sized!!! A great little gem at a gas station if all places. Will definitely return even though it's like an hour from where we live. read more

I stopped here while on the road about a year ago and ordered the Texas Forever burger and fries and it was excellent. The staff are really friendly and the restaurant is clean and cared for, which is something you don't really find that often on the road. We live down the road and had no idea this place existed, now we go here all the time. Their burgers are excellent and my wife highly recommends the fried fish and tornado fries. read more

The food came out hot and at a very reasonable time. I had a sweet tea to drink and the drink was nice. The chicken fried chicken was fried to perfection and seasoned gracefully. The Mac and cheese was creamy and delicious as well as the mashed potatoes and gravy. The dining area was clean and I didn't have to wait long to be seated. I ended my meal with a peace cobbler dessert topped with vanilla ice cream. And oh I was well satisfied. The service overall was pleasant and very friendly. My server Ms.Nadiya was the sweetest! read more

In my opinion it's an "ok" burger, the place was highly recommended from a friend but when we met for lunch they commented the menu was much smaller than their previous experience. Burger size is good, but the flavor was deprived of seasoning. In my opinion the price demands better. Is Texas 4-ever a miss ....maybe. read more

Workers don't want to work closed early everyday. I've been wanting to try this place. I get off at 7 and they close at 9. Got there at 8:09 and the guy said we closed. I asked I thought it was at 9 and he said it's already almost 9 Waste of time driving out there read more

This is an island of goodness in Channelview. And, it's one of the best truck stop restaurants you'll find. Texas Forever is also an idea close to my heart, so I was hoping for the best when I tried it. Larissa greeted me at the door and I found a spot close by in one of thos two-person tables. I have to admit, being a bit chunky all of my life, that is was snug at the table. The special today was Big Fish, which is two nice pieces of fish and Cole slaw. I had mine blackened Cajun style and added a side of red beans and rice. All was delicious. Service was fast and friendly and she checked on me from time to time. It's clean and nice there with a Texas Independence vibe, another subject dear to me. They have a covered patio and advertise live music. And if you need fuel or something from the convenience store, it's all next-door. I loved it! I will go back. read more

We've only been to this place twice. But both times the food has been excellent. Hot, fresh, and appetizing. Wait staff is efficient and always checking back to make sure you're "ok". While the food is fantastic, the drinks are a little weak. I'd rather taste a little more alcohol and less sugar. Otherwise, I feel I'm getting ripped off and won't buy another. The more the value, the more the purchase. Just an honest opinion. Either way, we'll keep going, .. for the food anyway. Fried Jalapenos w/ cheese, Texas 4Ever Burger and the Chicken Fried Steak were our choices. We'll have to explore the rest in the near future! read more

The atmosphere was good and the staff friendly, food took a little long to get and it was cold but still ok at the taste. I order a "Hamburger Stake" thinking it was a burger with stake meat but it wasn't anything close to that, they might want to do the effort to make it know that its not a burger. I know we are in a rough economy but i have never seen such thing as a "inflation charge of 8%" in any place i have ever eat thats a little funny but it is what it is. read more

Place is great!! Huge portions with good prices!! Only 4 stars cause location is kind of sketch. But the food and service was outstanding. Had the fried pickles for an app they were hot and had good breading. The wife had chicken and waffles with sweet potato fries good stuff. The chicken fried chicken was huge, probably the size of a chicken... lol tasted great. And the Brunch burger was delightful and cooked the way I wanted it. Good place will definitely come back. read more

Pretty good, we are here for lunch. So happy to finally sit down somewhere and eat out and have a sit down experience. Burger was huge and very filling. I made a mess on the table because there was so much food and the burger was that sloppy yummy goodness. I will be back and for a gas station restaurant, it reminds me of the classic diners that America lost over the years. Great wait staff - now remember after coming out of this stupid panic pandemic - they are trying to figure out the wait staff hours. My friend said they make great adult beverages - so drink a few of those and enjoy being out for the dining experience. read more

I got the pork chops, mashed potatoes, and green beans this evening for lunch. It was amazing. 5 stars. Thanks.

I personally do not recommend but I can see the appeal though. Huge portions and comfort food with modest prices. It's located in a gas station/truck stop so I think that sort of crowd fits what their doing but the food taste and quality IMO was missing. We tried the chips and queso, chili, tornado fries and loaded baked potato. The queso was fine, just bland. I enjoyed the tortilla chips but overall just ok. Chili was very greasy with hunks of ground beef. I was told, "my cook makes the best chili hands down", sale tactic I know but he in fact does not. Gave me a stomach ache because it was so greasy. Tornado fries might have been the best thing we ate but those were chunks of twisted potatoes lightly fried with the bland queso and their chili. Like I mentioned best item we ate but still meh. And the loaded baked potato comes with your choice of meat, ground beef was chosen and again it was ok. This place does have a specific crowd that will enjoy it, we're just not in that crowd. read more

We arrived in Houston to evacuate from Hurricane Ida and came across this gem of a restaurant. Driving up, you will notice that it is attached to a gas station; however, fear not, the staff and food are fantastic! Upon entering the restaurant, we noticed it was clean and inviting. We were immediately greeted warmly and told we could sit anywhere we pleased. Once we chose a booth and settled in, our waitress came over and handed us the menu. She was super friendly, professional, and attentive to details. We ordered the bacon-wrapped cheese sticks from the "secret menu," a Texas Forever Burger, a Brunch Burger, and a Western Omelette. Everything was delicious! Our waitress never once made us feel rushed and brought everything promptly. She checked periodically to see if we were happy with our food or needed anything else. At one point, the owner came over to our table to ask us how we were doing and whether we were enjoying our meal. We ended up having a good conversation with him as he, like his staff, made us feel right at home. read more

I like eating here. I've tried different things and this time I tried a hamburger. It was ok but not nothing to make me order it again. The patty taste like it came from a box not made homemade. The buns are not that good either, whatever type of bun they use they need to change that also it taste kind of cheap. For what you pay here for a burger they should up their game. Most of the other food I have tried here is good. I would of given 5 stars but this burger only deserves 3 stars and 1 star for the service. Service is always great here. I'll be back again soon but I will not order a burger again till they change it up and use homemade patty's. On e last thing the tornado dries are ok but they really need to give a Choice and not just tater tots but add regular fries to that menu also. read more

Don't waste your time at all the other chain steakhouses.. this place is great. Steaks burgers whatever. Will come here again !
