No one that actually was airport staff helped me. Going to San Antonio. Literally 10 mins away from my gate passed 3 empty carts no help. All disabilities are not visible. I'm leaving now from Houston to San Antonio 8pm. Shame. Thank God for kind people that are not just doing a job to do it but to help people... We are not here to catch a plane, not to inconvenience you Sir!!! read more

The Local IAH - a man walking through an airport - Burgers Near Me - Houston, Texas

TSA is rude and airport employees act like this is a playground. I wonder where class and decency have gone these days. The restaurants in the airport need more healthy options and they need to update the furniture at each gate. read more

The Local IAH - Burgers Near Me - Houston, Texas

Airport food... I feel like you can never win. Stick with the basics and chains in airports. I will learn my lesson one day. I ordered the brisket sandwich (which was a popular item, according to their menu) - it had a few thin slices, with 2 pieces of cheese melted on the top and bottom (kudos to 2 slices vs 1). The fries had a cajun kick, which was a bonus to the usual. The sauce is another name, but its a BBQ sauce - its good though. It wasn't the worst, but I think I'll stick to a $6-8 subway sandwich. read more

This place was okay. I haven't tried anything else in the airport but we were craving some form of Texas BBQ. The prices were pretty standard for airport food but we had vouchers for free meals so it was worth it. Don't go here if you are trying to eat healthy. There is nothing but fried food, cheese, and fatty meats on the menu. I ordered the 'healthiest' plate that wasn't a side salad and it was still pretty unhealthy. It was the open face bbq chicken sandwich smothered in cheese. The chili was pretty good. Tasted very hearty. We were quite fill after that. Both plates we ordered came with a ton of fries and I couldn't even finish all of them. The atmosphere was okay. There were some nice tables by the window that overlooked the airport but for some reason that entire section was blocked off. But since we were getting a free meal that didn't bother us much. Had we needed to pay for our meals we would have just gone a couple terminals over to the food court. That also had a bbq platter for a little less plus you didn't have to pay for counter service. Probably will try another restaurant next time we travel through this airport. read more

Wow!!! I will start with. I have been flying out terminal C for many years but I guess missed this section of C. I flew out of gate 12 in terminal C and I tell you I was shocked! It was very nice. Nice new stores, nice new look and a new touch of being modern. I-pads everywhere you can order from. New trendy restaurant. It has a very open and easy to navigate, From what I'm seeing so far with the improvements that are being made to the airport, I like them and they are welcomed improvements. read more

This place looks fancy but the food tastes like college cafeteria food, and not the good kind either. It's also not cheap. No bueno. read more

The Local IAH - Brisket plate. Not very exciting for 15 bucks. - Burgers Near Me - Houston, Texas

As I was walking to my gate, all I could think about were two things: what I was going to do to fill the 2-hour layover I had and... HOW FEROCIOUSLY HUNGRY I was... And then I saw an Oasis. This restaurant caught my eye, and caught stud muffin's (lol) eye for he saw a huge juicy cheeseburger photo on the wall of the restaurant. Before even asking me if there was anything on the menu I could eat, he was already sitting down at a vacant table, ordering the cheeseburger, without tomato and extra avocado! I wound up ordering the 1/2 BBQ chicken, and hot damn it was good. Super juicy, yes the skin and bones were super crispy, I could basically eat the bones because they were crunchy like chips after how long it had been roasting... Maybe it was thrown in the fryer as well? So good and a hefty portion that wasn't too big, the perfect amount to keep my full on my flight without making me feel uncomfortably bloated while my seatbelt securely fastened. If I weren't flying right after this meal, I totally could have ordered another... However the thought of feeling sick on the plane motivated me to calm my tastebuds! The burger, I was told, was tasty as well. Over all, we had zero problems, except I really don't like places where it's a "seat yourself" situation because I don't feel like the waitstaff realize you even walked in, and initially I don't think they did... But we ordered, ate, paid and left with a little time to spare, so it was perfect! I'd fly back to Houston just for that chicken again, I have to say, for the crappy ratings this restaurant has gotten, the chicken I devoured may well be the best chicken I've ever eaten in my life! read more

The Local IAH - 1/2 BBQ CHICKEN W/ side salad - Burgers Near Me - Houston, Texas

See all

This is THEE worst place I have eaten in my entire life. Both my husband and I's drink glasses had lipstick on them and were dirty. I'm convinced that neither glass was washed at all, period. I also told the server and she blamed it on the water hardness.. The food was horrible and not worth a penny. There was no manager on duty otherwise I would have spoken to them. Avoid this restaurant at all cost! If I could rate it zero stars I would. Fries came out of soggy and the burger was way over done (Well, WELL done). Extremely disappointed. I wish I could get my money back because it was a complete waste of money and time. read more

Food was good and presentation was very nice on all of our plates. Service on the other hand was a bit lacking. I'm sure the long holiday weekend took its toll on the serving staff. However, a smile and a kind word can carry any situation and neither were present this evening...ready to get home... read more

The Local IAH - The Bacon Cheeseburger... - Burgers Near Me - Houston, Texas

Looking at the website this restaurant is suppose to be opened from 6 AM - 9 PM. We got there at 6 PM on a Saturday night and they were closing (see attached picture). I guess they are not interested in having business. We went to the Subway right next door instead. read more

The Local IAH - the local iah restaurant - Burgers Near Me - Houston, Texas

We were the only ones in the Restaurant at 10:00 We were greeted terribly. My wife ordered an omelette at 10:00am sharp and the attendant in a very rude manner told us there were no more breakfasts being served. Got up and walked out. read more

The Local at IAH is not *that* bad. I was annoyed at how no one was guiding my group to an open table, especially when the section at the back of the restaurant was supposedly "closed off" (there were people eating in that area and there were many open tables). However, when we decided to just sit at the round table near the bar, service was better. Given that we had just under an hour until our flight, the service was actually quick even with a relatively full house. Smoked Beef Brisket ($12): Lengthy sandwich with multiples slices of sliced brisket, gastro sauce, and melted cheddar on a toasted baguette (it was actually soft-ish/borderline chewy) with a side of cole slaw. The brisket looks and tastes a bit dry, but it was actually pretty good when I doused it in gastro barbecue sauce. I could barely taste the cheese, but it was there. The cole slaw is not that great. It was creamy, but the vegetables were sliced too thick and it wasn't that flavorful; I did not like it at all. The fries were okay. My table also ordered the Steakburger ($11) and the Pulled Pork Sandwich ($11). I did not try either one, but they were said to be just "okay." The pulled pork sandwich was on the same type of bread as my brisket sandwich, while the angus patty on the Steakburger was much larger than we expected. Note: The bottle of water on your table is not complementary. read more

The bar service was so nice. This review is not for the bar tender. They deserve a 5. I came in to get a drink and food, sat at an unbussed table. Didn't see a waitresses so got a drink from the bar intending to order food. Waitress comes back after I get my drink and asks if I've already paid at the bar. Tells me that I'm in her section. Then says,"you're taking potential money away from my pocket" because I was one person at a table that could potentially seat 4. As someone who has worked in the industry, I get it. As a customer, I was really put off. Will not be coming back, and now I don't want to spend any money on food for here. read more

The service is indeed horrible Whole section empty but no tables they insisted turning hungry pass angers away read more

Not worth a try. If you're looking for microwaved food and not fresh- this is your spot. My Steakburger and French fries were delivered to me in the matter of seconds. Fries were cold and so was the burger. I asked for new fries and they tried "refrying" them when I requested new fries. They were soggy and rubbery. When I gave my discontent to the bar tender he mentioned he would get me some chips. (If I wanted chips I would have ordered chips) So I would not recommend this place to anyone else. They just opened and already headed in the wrong direction. If they're taking these shortcuts and jeopardizing food quality, then they clearly don't have processes down to offer fresh food. They're cooking in bulk and not to order. Therefore- I don't recommend it. read more

The Local IAH - Menu - Burgers Near Me - Houston, Texas

Worst airport food ever! The fish and chips was pre made fish cutlets from Walmart and the cheesy fries were wet and covered in nacho cheese. My wife had the mac and cheese and rated it worse than Kraft dinner The only thing good was the wine and beer. That's only because they came out of a reputable company's bottle. We were not the only ones to leave our plates half full and leave. If your really Hungary, go to the Subway next door read more

I wish I could give them 0 stars. Upon entering, I waited over 7 mins for someone to even acknowledge me (even though April walked passed me and waited on the table next to me). Once served, the waitress never came back to the table. So I finally just but my credit card on the table for her to come back. Never once asked how I was doing or if there was anything else she could get. Horrendous service. To make it even worse the brisket sandwich was disgusting and greasy. read more

The Local IAH - Yuck - Burgers Near Me - Houston, Texas

Is there a 0 star option? This is the dirty dirty here..service leaves more than to be desired, and I couldn't tell you whats going on the line. The food is "eh" but you have to understand that its at an airport so no harm no foul. Ordered a Wedgie...( wedge salad, tomato, grilled red onion, blue cheese crumble, bacon, and blue cheese fondue) but asked if there were any mayonnaise products in the salad as I am highly allergic. The server said that she wasn't sure because she did not eat blue cheese. At which point I had to point out that she ask for me in the kitchen because it was due to a food allergy. When she returned she exclaimed that it in fact did, when I asked what did she did not know. I am pretty aware at this point that A..it is most likely the blue cheese fondue, and B...she is not really a great server. That said I ordered the salad and asked for no fondue dressing, blue cheese on the side (not taking a chance if it is actually dressing), and to 86 (NO) red onion. Clarified the 86 because she might not know what exactly that was. my salad arrived alongside my girlfriends chili with bacon, blue cheese crumbles, and cucumber....scroll up and read the salad again, cucumber isn't even on the lineup. Aside from the salad missing the tomato, there were no utensils served with the salad or on the table for that matter and when I realized it she had retreated before I could say anything. Girlfriend was so sweet, she said she'd wait to eat her chili until I was situated. Finally when I got her attention, she asked if I'd like a dressing...perhaps a vinigrette. I asked for her to check for the mayonnaise situation, and as she began to retreat I had to ask what happened to the tomato and...a fork. I am not joking when I say that 5 minutes later I had to inquire about the dressing and a utensil. She came back fairly instantly with both of our entrées, nothing for the salad. The entrées were exactly the same with the exception of the girlfriend who ordered a fried egg on her bacon cheeseburger. Entrées state that they include pickle and homemade chips....hers arrives with 2 fried eggs and fries..?? After the weirdness of the order in front of us, I then was given a side of tomato, side of dressing and then utensils. After I annihilated the salad, the burger was half cold by the time I got to eating it. Now the quality of the food..."eh", its airport digs and trying to be a local using quality ingredients whenever possible blah blah blah. I can appreciate that when its being done, its not being done here. The service and the communication in the kitchen earn this place 1 because 0 is not an option. read more

Edit: This would've been a 1 star review, but my waitress saved it. So far only opened for 3 weeks, so they've got some issues to work out. My server was actually quite attentive, so no quibbles over the service here even though I did witness one table walk out angrily due to "lack of service". It was unusually busy due to a passing rain storm (meant flight delays), and they weren't seating people as they entered. They let us seat ourselves, so people are bound to be overlooked in a crowd. What drew me to this establishment was their advertisement of the use of local and fresh ingredients. Unfortunately, the only thing that seemed to be fresh and local here were the selection of beers on tap (mostly Houston-based). I ordered the Fish and Chips, which I figured would be hard to mess up, but I was quickly proven wrong. Corn-bread battered catfish, deep-fried with french fries what could go wrong?! Hard to say if the fried fish was fresh or frozen, but regardless the bread to fish ratio was very high. Fried fish is hard to enjoy when you're mainly chewing on fried breading. The french fries were obviously from a bag, but that's ok. BUT they were over-cooked, hard, and hollow. What happened to their pillowy potato filling? Not sure if the cheese sauce was necessary on the fries. The sauce is the same sauce you get with the movie theater nachos, Rico's or Cheez-wiz? Ah I really wish it was better than this, so I hope the executive chef will take the hint and make the necessary corrections to save this place. read more

I am surprised of the bad reviews. My mom and I had 8 hours to hang around and found this place by wondering the airport. The server at first was kinda blah but we talked and were friendly with her and she warmed up. But the food was so good. We ordered the Bavarian pretzels and cheese fondue appetizer and OMG it was awesome. The pretzels were hot and soft and the cheese was smooth and creamy and not overpowering. I had the Dirty Mac-n-Cheese it was good and the brisket on top was tasty but as a whole kinda too rich for me. But that's not the restaurants fault. My mom had the BBQ chicken and wow a must try! It was so moist and tasty that she didn't even use the BBQ sauce too much even though she said it was really good. I helped her finish the chicken since it was a big huge portion. She loved the fries and the coleslaw. Give this place a try don't be too quick to judge the service and enjoy! read more

If this eatery were a comedy, it would be one of errors! First there was one server and unbeknownst to us- one cook Our drinks came out slowly -2 beers and water- probably 20-25 minutes. Then the waitress came to apologize Which she did repeatedly and profusely but it was an organizational problem not hers- the grill had just been closed although it was 6 pm and closing was at 10 pm. She said that the cook had already sprayed the grill down with chemicals - We noticed that another couple had been Turned away at that time-if only we have been so lucky! Probably will go down as the worst dining experience we've ever had which says a lot given how old we are. And they didn't comp our drinks- guzzled out of anger and a desire to go to the next restaurant before our flight! read more

Poor service. BBQ tasted like it came from Sam's Club. Chili barely had any meat and was over-seasoned. Caesar salad was good but chicken that came with it was like jerky. Fries were soggy. Cole slaw was extremely bland. The cook needs to try the food they prepare. Go somewhere else. This is not a good representative of local food. read more

For a normal restaurant out in the real world, this place is just ok-ish. But for an airport restaurant, it was great! Our server was fast and friendly and was able to tell us about all the beers on the menu that we were unfamiliar with (and there were a lot, as we had not had Texas beers before). The food was average. I got a bacon cheeseburger with cheese fries, but I felt the $11 price tag was reasonable, especially in light of the fact we were in an airport where prices are always hyper-inflated. read more

I wasn't expecting much from airport fare but The Local was surprisingly good. We arrived in Houston early in the morning and most of the restaurant was roped off so we sat at the bar for breakfast. My wife and I both ordered the Tots and Egg Hash. The portions were plentiful, we both left full. The eggs, scrambled, we're cooked to perfection. The Tots, sausage, bacon and wheat toast were all good. Our server was friendly also. read more

Their big blind spot is the lack of healthy dining options. If you're looking for BBQ, plenty of menu items.

Good food, exceptionally slow service. It looked like there was only one or two servers working, and it was busy. Fortunately, we weren't in a rush to catch our flight, but I would definitely be afraid to go here if I were at all pressed for time. read more

We got the black bean soup and the bacon cheeseburger w/tots. The burger was a frozen patty, not very good. The soup was okay. The tots were nice and crispy but a very small portion. Wouldn't choose to eat here again or recommend it if you want a good burger. Service was good. read more

Service was nice within the sea of misery of an airport. I had the dirty nachos, which were misrepresented. Menu stated brisket ends, and what arrived was chopped beef and BBQ sauce slurry. Service = welcoming Food = disappointment read more

Worst Burger in The whole Airport! McDonalds creates a more aromatic product than this ****hole! Tasteless, frozen, grey paddy with aged onions, salad and tomatoes on the side. Asked how I wanted it cooked , medium was my choice, grey it was. Horrible! Go to Rubys diner in Terminal D, sooo much better! read more

Absolute bogus...brisket looked like dried Spam. Catfish was really a breaded white fish (not even the shape of real catfish). Took a friend and was embarrassed. Staff were in cruise mode. Jan 24 at 1:51 pm...not busy. Avoid and go somewhere else. read more

Good beer options. They even have a pretty good sipping tequila. Decent place to hang out. Nice servers. Do not come here if you are hungry. Terrible food. read more

This place is bullshit. I should have checked Yelp before eating here. The service was slow and remember: this is an airport and people have to be places at certain times. We got to the restaurant and hour before our flight was at the board, server came after we been there for about five minutes, we ordered about five minutes later, in half an hour later or drink still hadn't arrived. Then the really awful part: the food came. I guarantee that nothing about this place is "local". Kraft macaroni and cheese tastes better than the awful cheesy mess that we were served; the color, a jaundicy yellow, the consistency of snot, and the taste of bland hospital food but mixed with the taste of raw disappointment. The pulled pork was about its average as it gets, certainly not what you would expect in Texas (I know it's in an airport, but if you don't believe me, come waste your money and find out). read more

If they look busy just keep walking, took 15 minutes just to get menus. And the attitudes are less than welcoming
