Patio seating
Sayde R.

This is my regular go to spot !!! I come here regularly to pick up their grilled chicken sandwich when I don't feel like cooking or need a quick meal . I always try to eat healthier whenever I can, and this grilled chicken sandwich is usually my go-to option. I also ask for the sauce on the side because sauces can make anything unhealthy really fast . This is by far my favorite grilled chicken sandwich! Usually when I go to other places, the grilled chicken doesn't always taste very authentic or fresh but this one consistently stands out. That's one of the reasons I keep coming back. Not only do I enjoy the food, but I also really like the atmosphere. The staff is always super nice ! & The outdoor seating feels relaxing, almost like you're sitting in a family member's backyard, very casual . I usually like coming later in the evening once the sun starts going down. Of course, you still get the Houston heat and humidity, but the fans help keep things comfortable enough to enjoy being outside. Another thing I like is that they have several different sauce options. When you order you can always swap out your sauce if you want to try something different, but I usually stick with the original aioli Their sweet potato fries are really good as well, and whenever I'm in the mood to treat myself, I love getting an Oreo milkshake. Overall, this has become one of those dependable places that I can always count on. The food is consistent, the atmosphere is relaxing, and it's a spot I find myself coming back to again and again. BONUS : If you come here often , I recommend getting the app so you can earn points . Points = $

Overcooked, dry and greasy Nashville Hot 3 Piece Chicken Tenders  (soaking in grease) Tenders 1/5 Onion rings 3/5
Cheryl G.

The Burger Joint is usually our go to for a late night dinner once in awhile. It's not my fave, but our boys seem to enjoy it. I got the Nashville hot chicken tenders this time rather than a burger. I will never order it again. The chicken tenders were so greasy and over fried and so dried that the ranch dip didn't help. I prefer their onion rings over their fries. The onion rings aren't greasy, but they are on the crispier side if you prefer that. I prefer my onion rings lightly beer battered and not so crispy.

Always busy and adorable patio where lots of folks walk and meet up for a quick casual bite. Dogs allowed on patio. Food is super greasy, even for a burger and fries place. Good, but not for us maybe! Recommend the Mexican burger. Small warning, been there a few times and there's dogs off leash getting into other tables and spaces and no team members correcting it.

Great location, decent parking in the private lot but limited. Friendly welcoming staff. I tried the BBQ burger. It was OK I asked for a medium cook and it was more on the well side. Many ingredients on the burger but not much flavor in the patty. Fries were cooked well with good flavor. Food came out hot and quick. Elvis boozy milkshake was good. If you like chocolate peanut butter and cognac you'll enjoy this shake. Be ready for the pretzel bites throughout. Plenty of seating, nice full bar, tvs and fans throughout. The wings recently added to the menu looked good from afar. Willing to give them another try and try a different burger on the menu. I do appreciate their reward point system.

Cooked to perfection.
Mike H.

Was looking for BBQ but all the lines were crazy long. At the stop light made a spontaneous burger decision. The Burger joint was a great choice. I had a bacon burger with pepper jack, arugula, jalapeños, and special sauce. It was fantastic. The onion rings and the sweet potato fries were also great and cooked a perfect perfection. The beer selection was spot on. couldn't ask for a better burger joint.

Mushroom burger

Took the boys here to watch them inhale burgers. Cute set up. Large well dressed burgers. All outdoor seating which was dry even in torrential rain. Walk up and order.

Queso Fries

I love that between both Burger Joint's there is consistency in taste, so I can go to the Montrose Location or the Heights Location and know I'll have my craving fulfilled. I also love that I can recommend them to friends and I'll know that due to the consistent taste- they'll be in for a good time. This location has plenty of parking- woohoo- and really nice servers/order takers! Seriously the guy taking our order was so incredibly helpful and ensured that even though I was making a lot of substitutions, he got them right and even reassured me that he himself is that picky, haha! It's just nice to be seen and not get an eye roll, but I like what I like! Also the service is quick but never at the expense of fresh food. Plenty of seating indoors and out, and great food and folks! What more could one want.

Out of all the Burger Joints in Houston, I can say without a shadow of a doubt that this place is the best both in terms of consistency and atmosphere. Workers there are always exceptionally nice, I have yet to have any issues with any of my orders, and in always left content with my food. My only gripe is the same gripe I have with other locations though, and it's that the vegetarian patty leaves a lot to be desired. I do think their impossible party is solid, but at a $5 surcharge it's hard for me to rationalize paying for it.

Nashville chicken sandwich
Kelly W.

I really enjoy Burger Joint, but I was super disappointed with my recent Nashville chicken sandwich. While I absolutely loved the crunch, it was overly salty. So much so, that I just tasted salt & no heat. If you have a salt sensitivity, I definitely would avoid. I probably should have asked a manager if all of that salt was in the seasoning or if perhaps they salt afterwards & someone went overboard. Had it been the latter, they probably would have made me another one. They have excellent customer service. I'm sure that my sandwich had more than a day's suggested sodium intake if that's an issue for you.

BBQ Burger
Michelle B.

Stopped in for a quick burger this evening since it was cool evening in Houston. Sat at the bar. Quick and attentive service. The bartender actually was polite and told his opinion which I great appreciated. I got the Opa burger medium which was great. The feel was causal and simple. Just like a burger joint should be. Overall honestly the kids cheeseburger and fries is plenty for even an adult.

Veggie Burger
Lou C.

Pretty good location for a quick meeting with my friend. He recommended The Burger Joint in the Heights neighborhood. This was my first time here. There were many good things about this place. It shares a parking lot with The Taco Stand and The Pizza Place (coming soon). Today was a rainy day. There were many puddles in the lot, including the ramp to get here. The ordering counter is located deep in the restaurant and outdoor seating area is wrapped around the indoor space. Because of rain, the actual outdoor seating became limited. But we still found a comfortable seat. The service was decent. Since I don't eat meat and cheese, my choice is limited to veggie burger. My friend had a fire burger. The cashier recommended fire with plant-based patty. I was against that idea because that would send me to the emergency room with the heat. Hahaha I also ordered an order of Queso Fries with cheese sauce on the side. I love the freshly cut fries taste. Overall, we had a good experience.

Burger with sweet potato fries
Chelsea B.

Came here for lunch and had a great meal. The staff was super friendly and were able to tell me about modifications they can make to burgers for dietary needs. I was excited to find out that they had gluten free buns! I ordered the Kimchi burger with sweet potato fries and got a beef patty for my little one. We did wait a little for our food but it was worth the wait. The kimchi burger was the best mix of savory, sweet, sour and umami flavors. They have fantastic sweet potato fries and we enjoyed their different ketchups. They have great options for indoor and outdoor seating and lots of TVs around so you can catch the game. They do have a full bar and specialty drinks so I cant wait to come try more of the menus. Parking may be a little tricky but you can park in the lot across the street.

I really wanted to give this place 4 or 5 stars but after eating there I just couldn't. First of all the vibes are perfect. I love the atmosphere of this place. The music was on point and created a nice, enjoyable, and fun background for our dinner. The staff was very nice, helpful and attentive. The food... the burger was cooked a perfect medium. The burger was constructed nicely, buns were good, nice ratio of meat to bun to toppings etc BUT they had ZERO seasoning. It was the most boring and bland burger I've ever had. The only flavor was from the onions. It was disappointing because I really like the vibes and would absolutely come back. I'm hoping it was an off night. I would be open to coming back again though.

Ask the Community - The Burger Joint - Heights

Where is parking?

There is a ton of parking. They have a lot that they share with the Taco Stand, which they own. Plus, they have more parking on a vacant lot right next to their lot.

Do the ask for ID to eat something?

No they don't

Saw a picture of a dog on ig at the burger joint I'm guessing it's pets allowed!?

Yes pets are allowed on the outside patio.

I'm glad we have Ike's Love & Sandwiches all the from San Francisco in Houston and wouldn't mind…read morehaving more locations in town. This is the one and only location here and a great stop for all kinds of sandwiches. Their menu includes innovative offerings and iconic flavors, essentially the best of both worlds. If you're craving a classic or simple sandwich, you can get that. However, if you're looking for something special or out of this world, you can also get it. Ike's specializes in sandwiches with their Dutch Crunch bread and Dirty Sauce, both unique in its own way. Whether you're a meat lover, vegetarian, vegan, or on a gluten-free diet, their menu has it all. I personally am not a super fan of the Dutch Crunch bread since I find it a bit too harsh on the palate and somewhat dry, but love the Dirty Sauce (make it extra or on the side). I enjoy subbing the Dutch Crunch with either French or Sourdough. With over 300 unique sandwiches on the menu, there's a sandwich for everyone. My favorites have been the Menage A Trois (halal chicken, honey mustard, BBQ Sauce, real honey, pepper jack, swiss, cheddar), Ike's Reuben (pastrami, mack Sauce, purple slaw, gouda), Joker (all beef meatballs, fried zucchini, Ike's red pesto, ranch), and Grant Pinkerton, a Houston exclusive (Pinkerton Brisket, pastrami, BBQ aioli, provolone). All of my sandwiches have been stuffed and tasty, worth it! However, I find some menu items to be subpar in quality and flavor (chicken strips). The service is typically quick, efficient, and friendly. There are more than a handful of tables inside and some out on the patio. The shared parking lot can get very crowded as it is packed with lots of other businesses.

We found ourselves there at lunchtime and hungry this Sunday afternoon and decided to peek inside and see if it might be an option. We discovered it to be much larger than we thought and it had a beautiful ambiance. We were asked to seat ourselves and brought menus almost immediately. This wasn't just a sandwich shop; they had a surprisingly full menu. We ordered two sandwiches, chicken salad and a BLT. One came with fries and the other with "house-made chips." Everything was absolutely delicious and presented as if they'd been prepared by a gourmet chef. The service was great. The restroom was spotless. I only wish this place was located closer to home so that we could explore more of their menu. Reading some of the negative comments here, I don't think they are quite fair.

I asked our server a couple questions about some of the dishes and was met with Irritation and rudeness and comments like, "of course there is cream in the mashed potatoes, it's mashed potatoes!" I was also told that the green beans were "just fried in a little bit of olive oil", yet they came out on my plate in a brown sauce. Hmm. Our server seemed to be very nice to a couple tables around us but not so much with us. She also appeared to be the only staff person in the restaurant out on the floor. I overheard other people calling her Shandy and it turned out she was the owner! I was appalled! As a female, I'm passionate about supporting other females and women-owned businesses, especially minority women. But I do expect a certain level of professionalism and to be treated with respect. I didn't find that at Shandy's :( My mom provided feedback to the owner after our meal and the owner indicated to my mom that my mom was the only person to ever give her this type of feedback. After reading other reviews, it appears that I am not the only one who has been made to feel this way.
