Spicy cheese burger
Kelley B.

Tornado buger never disappoints, the burger and fries were really good. The service was fast and friendly.

Garfield N.

I had not been to tornado burger in many years, although I have frequently passed by I went there today to get a spicy cheeseburger with tomato, onion, lettuce, pickles, and order fries and I tried their Margarita, which I think is more of a daiquiri. I got my order to go, so I was trying to fries on the way home and they were hot and fresh. I believe they prepare their own potatoes for fry while they weren't the crispy fries I've ever had. They did have that Home made look and feel with just the right amount of salt. My first bite of the cheeseburger took me back to the 1970s. There is a taste that reminds me of the way burgers tasted in the 70s when you went to a neighborhood burger stand placed your order. They then begin cooking. It was super fresh and yes, it wasn't available immediately because the meat had to cook. The lettuce is fresh and crisp so is the tomato so if you're in a hurry for your food, this is not the place to go! However, if you want a hot tasty made to order burger for you personally, you should check this place out. I got my order to go, I wanted to eat it at home. The service was good. It takes time when you're cooking every order after it's taken by the counter person. The inside of the restaurant can seat quite a few people in addition they have an outside seating area for those few days a year when it's actually nice enough to sit outside and eat. I recommend this restaurant. GN3

Spicy burger (a must have), and fresh cut fries.
Walter R.

Yes, when you want a break from the usual "fast food", this is the place to go. The service is quick and friendly, the food is made to order, fresh, and tasty. The decor is old school diner (in a good way). It's simple, and no frills, but I love that they season everything. The meat, the fries, all have a distinct flavor, and it's all good. I am told that they make their own ranch dressing in house, but I did not try it, so I will have to add that to my order next visit.

Dbl patty spicy burger

Their burgers are legit! Burger price is wallet friendly. Burgers are on the smaller side so get two (haha). Their fries were bit soft but it's fresh cut potatoes you you can tell, without too much salt or seasoning. Though I tend to prefer crispy fires, I really enjoyed them. Show strong onions were ok, you can actually taste onions but it was bit too greasy for me. I loved their burgers and definite will try again

Chicken Philly Cheesesteak
Charneice B.

Passed this spot and decided to try it. It reminds of of a place back home. The food is amazing. Not gonna hold ya. The food is really good. I got a chicken Philly combo. The fries are somewhat Cajun and they are delicious. Like any fries, hurry and eat them as they go bad quick. The customer service can use some work, but, overall, I'll give it a 4 star rating. I only went through the drive thru and I got a picture of the menu being the menu they have on the Yelp app doesn't have a the full menu. If you're thinking about trying it, go for it, it's pretty good.

Finally got to try this spot - my boyfriend has been raving about it and it did live up to all the hype! The double double burger spicy was sooo good. The spicy wasn't overwhelmingly spicy but just enough spice and the burgers came out fresh along side with the fries. One thing you can't beat is the price! Such a good price for a good amount of food

Cheese with green pepper onions and jalepenos
Valencia H.

Can't ever go wrong with a spicy Philly cheesesteak and lemon pepper chicken strips Wait was longer than usual today but food was fresh as always so no complaints..

Leticia V.

My husband grew up in the area and always raves about this place. Since we were in the area I suggested let's go. He was so happy!! I ordered a double cheeseburger with fries. It was a great old fashioned burger. My husband loves spice so he got everything spicy which he always suggests. They also have to-go if you are in a hurry. Great burger place

Garlic Parmesan fries!

The Philly was amazing even thou it wasn't spicy it was amazing this is my second time ever coming here and it was great the service is nice and quick! And there's plenty of tables for ppl coming in and out!

Susan P.

Huge parking area, super convenient and easy to get in and out. Service was smooth, food came out delicious, and I got exactly what I wanted. Went through the drive-through so I couldn't check out the inside, but the place looked inviting and well-kept from the outside. Overall, a solid experience.

Garlic Parmesan Fresh Cut Fries
Emily S.

Food was delicious and made fresh, my only regret is that I should have got double meat and should have gotten a side of ranch. It all tasted home made which I love. The service was great and the guy the brings the food to your car is so sweet! I will be going back!

AJ H.

This place is awesome for the fact that their spicy burgers are actually spicy into the patty level of the burger (and not some other places that just add jalapeños). Probably the best value that you can get for burger and fries nowadays (less than $10 and they dont shove a tip screen in your face)

Grumpy onion hater
Sissy A.

I love the food here so much! My only complaint is that they don't make the fries to order. If it's not busy, your fries are gonna be chewy and lukewarm from sitting under the heat lamp.

Best burgers in Houston and by far the best value for food quality and volume in the area. The gyros are excellent too.

Do yourself a favor and ask for Alexandira to be your waitress…read more I mean wow, I was shocked at not only how good the food was, but the service as well. Alexandria was prompt, attentive, and explained special dishes to us first-timers perfectly while also allowing us to enjoy our food and not feel rushed. My fiance and I both worked in the service industry once upon a time. We will definitely be back, for the food yes, but mostly because of how incredible Alexandria was. They allow dogs and have a reasonable "puppy menu" if your bring your pet and want them to eat with you.

From the jump, the hostess greeted and seated us quickly, and our server was absolutely fantastic--attentive, friendly, and on point the entire time. We started with Hibiscus Margaritas, quickly upgraded to a pitcher (zero regrets), and jumped into appetizers. The roasted red pepper hummus with parmesan crisps surprised me in the best way--really good. The Brussels sprouts and lettuce wraps were the clear standouts, an easy 10/10 and the main reason I'll be back. Some other apps were hit-or-miss for my taste, but that happens. The vibe was relaxed and clean, with a nice buzz once the Friday after-work crowd rolled in. The manager checked on us multiple times, gifted us their house-made potato chips (Chef's Snacks--crispy and addictive), and even gave us appetizer coupons after hearing we work at a school and were scouting a spot for a happy hour social. That kind of genuine hospitality goes a long way. Solid drinks, strong food highlights, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Lazy Dog definitely earned a return visit.

We got hongry, but not hangry and wanted to try something new. We had a few options and decided to…read moretake a drive (30 minutes) to come here and see what was what. It was hopping on a Saturday night, as they have a few other businesses in the same parking lot. Finding a spot was easy for me, but that's because I was lucky. The lot was packed and I just happened to be in the right spot at the right time. I'll take the win. Walking in the restaurant has outdoor seating, and indoor. A pretty good line when we walked in leading up to the door, but it went quickly. About half of the tables on the interior in use, but it was very easy to find a place to sit. Outdoor was about maybe 1/4 capacity. They have a pretty interesting menu, it definitely fits along the gastropub line. I was very tempted to do tacos and burgers but our goal was burgers and I stuck to it. I had the Brie and candied bacon burger. Was it messy? Yes, yes it was. Was it phenomenal? Yes, yes it was. With candied jalapeno, candied bacon, arugula and a fire vinaigrette, this was my favorite burger. The jalapeno was flavored but not spicy. For those who are adverse to heat. The vinaigrette really sets off this burger, on top of the medly of flavors. Cooked to juicy perfection, would 100% get this again. The gal went with the California Burger. Also an excellent choice, but I liked mine more. This one serves up sliced avocado, bacon, tomato, arugula, Swiss, and again, a house vinaigrette. Whoever thought let's make a burger more wet, you were right. That's why we have napkins. Both the truffle fries, and the onion rings sounded good. So we ended up just getting both. The truffle fries had fantastic flavor but it felt like we had the bottom of the bag. All of the fries were very tiny. It's like when you go out for fast food, and it's all the tiny broken pieces at the bottom of your fries. They also come with a nice dipping sauce. Highly recommend. The onion rings were fantastic, I really enjoy how they are battered. I served by themselves, they are delightful. The staff were excellent! They continued to check on everybody and make sure that they had everything they needed, they were busing tables left and right. Very proactive in keeping the place clean and getting seating turned around for the next customer pretty quick. We will definitely be coming back to try more items on their menu. They also have what appears to be an upscale joint next door of the same name with wine. That will also be a place that we'd like to check out in the future. Is it a drive, yes. Is good food and good experience worth the time and effort to get there, it absolutely is. Check them out. See what you think!

Cute place with a heartwarming backstory. Nice and busy for brunch on a Saturday morning!…read more I got the scrambled eggs with chorizo and onions and it was DELISH. Also came with a biscuit and jam, which were average - the biscuit tasted like it might have been from a box or mix rather than scratch? But not sure. My friend got the Oliver's breakfast which was a large portion, and she also got a blueberry pancake, which was packed full of blueberries and had a nice crispy edge. She also ordered hot tea and got to choose her tea bag from a lovely box, which was a cute touch. The only thing I might say is that the owner was a bit brusque/gruff. I understand being businesslike and I know customers can be a pain in the food industry, but his attitude was just not very welcoming I suppose. Still a good experience overall though! Glad to see Oliver's is doing well!

I would definitely come back to order that one. I think I'm gonna have to steer clear of the other, due to inconsistency
