Underbelly Burger was the perfect dinner after some sand volleyball next door at the Decoy. The place was empty at 730pm on a Wednesday, and I honestly don't know why, this burger spot was great! I wish I got the name of the lady working at the counter, but she was so friendly! She made some great recommendations that were really tasty. I ended up going with the Fuego Burger, added grilled serrano peppers, sidewinder fries, and a side of their ranch. 10/10 would get this burger combo again! Their ranch with those seasoned fries were top tier for sure. Ambiance wise, this place is very casual and fun. It has a little bit of a retro burger vibe while still being clean and inviting. I also really appreciate that they do 15% off for all students, teachers, medical personnel, military, and first responders everyday. Thank you for supporting the community! I'll be back again for sure, enjoy! read more

Yeah.... It's a resounding NO for me. I should have trusted the majority of the reviews but I wanted to give them a shot and try a new burger spot. The location is nice and looks new-ish. There's a ton of parking, outdoor seating and what appears to be volleyball courts connected to the business next-door. I'm sure this could be a vibe when the Houston weather is right. When I arrived around 1 PM there was no one there except the employees. I was promptly greeted by a young man, he took my order and began cooking it immediately. I ordered a kid cheeseburger combo with lettuce, pickles, fries, and a drink for my son. I ordered a mushroom swiss double wagyu combo, added grilled onions with onion rings and a drink for myself. The total was $38.93! Pretty darn pricey. After ordering, I got my little ones seated, then proceeded to get our drinks and ketchup. The only other condiments they provided was pepper and Valencia hot sauce. I thought the selection was minimal. No special sauces, no bbq, and no salt. We waited about 10 minutes for our burgers and went to the restroom right before the order was completed. When we returned from the restroom, I noticed our order was in a bag on the table, as if we were taking it to go. There were no plates, dine in trays or placemats provided. I thought that was interesting. I opened my son's burger and placed his fries on top of the wrapper with his burger. First impression was that his burger looked basic, small and sloppy. I began to open my burger and was immediately disappointed and confused. My mushroom swiss double wagyu burger combo did not come with their famous sesame bun, and I have no clue why.. I saw those buns sitting out on the counter, and the three people that came in after me all got the sesame bun. The size of my burger felt small and looked like a child's combo compared to theirs. I scanned the menu several times and did not see a bun selection or an up charge for sesame buns. I proceeded to eat the burger and my immediate first thought was "damn this is bland". I took a sip of my drink then a second bite. I carefully examined my second bite and concluded that the burger totally lacked any flavor other than the unseasoned ingredients. What a let down!! I also didn't notice anything special about the wagyu beef.. like it just tasted like 80/20 ground beef to me. I don't get the hype. The fries are like curly wedges vs a traditional french fries and the ranch seasoning or whatever that is was yummy. The onion rings were fresh and bite size which I did like with ketchup. I ate half of my burger and was relieved when my son asked for the rest of mine so I didn't feel like I wasted money. I have no intentions of ever coming here again and would not recommend to anyone. If you appreciate flavor please consider going elsewhere. If you like basic, plain, unseasoned meat this is for you. My recommendation to this business would be to invest in some Kinders seasoning or make your own low sodium blend. Additionally , have staff check their restroom during downtime, actually flush the toilets and wipe off the seats. read more

From the moment my partner and I walked in the staff was friendly. When we were debating whether to get the classic burger or the fuego burger, staff make a good suggestion for fuego burger. When I saw they had a 15% off discount for healthcare personnel, the lady asked for my ID which I did not have with me, so I showed my workplace email. I said I could a picture of myself and coworkers in our scrubs, and the lady was like "Anyone can wear a halloween costume as a nurse." I want to express how deeply offensive and disheartening that comment was. In a time when nursing and other healthcare professions are already fighting for recognition and respect in this political climate, reducing our work to a "Halloween costume" is incredibly hurtful. Nurses are not costumes -- we are trained professionals who care for patients who are sick, vulnerable, and often fighting for their lives. Comments like this diminish the seriousness of what we do and contribute to a culture where nursing is undervalued. I understand the need to verify eligibility for a discount, but it could have been handled with professionalism and respect. I hope this feedback encourages awareness and more thoughtful communication in the future. $7.50 Onion rings were 6/10, sysco $14.75 Fuego burger were 6/10, a bit too limey Would not come back unfortunately. read more

This restaurant was located in a moderately accessible location near Katy Fwy and Gessner in Houston. The menu board was not easy to follow, but the cashier was very helpful. The total price of my meal was right under $20. It included a waygu burger with cheese, a generous portion of fries, and a fountain drink. I needed to use the restroom when I arrived. It was clean and well stocked. The restaurant is tastefully decorated with an old school nostalgia touch. My burger was just ok. I probably did not need their special sauce. It would have been just ok to taste the meat and cheese rather than have the flavor over powered by the toppings. The fries were unique, fresh, hot, and very good. I got lemonade from the fountain and it tasted like water. I alerted the staff to change the bag in the box, and the issue was resolved immediately. My overall impression was overpriced and just average. The service, cleanliness, quality, and willingness to serve was awesome. read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Now on my top burgers list in Houston. Wagyu Burger is amazing. Juicy and full of flavor with their house sauce. I added bacon and jalapeños. The fries are huge so share with a friend. Staff is very nice and helpful. Restaurant is attached to 2 other places with a bar and a sand volleyball court. Great experience and will be back many times. read more

Underbelly Burger - Wagyu burger = AWESOME! - Burgers Near Me - Houston, Texas

Wowzerssss!!! What a dope place. There's a little bit for everyone. This place is ducked off of Westview and Witte Road. There are several tables with umbrellas, corn hole, volleyball, a playground for kids and some swing chairs. The Decoy, which is a bar, is also in the same building. You can dine in or sit outside and eat on the green or the patio. Lets get to my order. I got the veggie burger, onion rings and fountain drink. My food was very good. It wasnt piping hot but it was room temperature. Perfect. I love the sesame bun, the avocado and one of the employees let me try the jalapeño mayo. Chef's kiss and Im not even a mayo person. My meal was $17.85 I didn't look at the ingredients but could've gone without the corn. But 4.8/5 Restaurant and latrine is super clean. Customer service was awesome and inviting. read more

Really enjoyed the food from Underbelly the burger was delicious Not really a fan of the soggy bun I would probably go back read more

Chose to eat here as it's attached to the volleyball bar I was at (The Decoy). I ordered the angus burger with a side of fries. The entire meal was just standard and nothing memorable. Definitely good for a quick and convenient fix, but nothing to go out of the way for. read more

My husband got the fuego wagyu burger and I got the wagyu burger and both were great!! The bun was soft but didn't quite fall apart which I really appreciate. We got the fries - which were interesting/different in their shape but they had nice seasoning and good flavor. We got a cookies and cream shake- it was good it wasn't too sweet, tasted more milky. We sat outside it was super nice. They have a small indoor area. read more

It wasn't bad but it also didn't leave a wow factor. Pretty pricey for what it was. Fries were not included (additional $5). Honestly I think it was the bun that I hated. Food came out quickly (maybe 3 min after we ordered. Service was alright. They offer 15% for students, first responders, healthcare and military which is nice. read more

Underbelly Burger - Single Angus Patty - Burgers Near Me - Houston, Texas

My friend and I tried Underbelly Burger for the first time. What a disappointment. First the good: Our order taker was friendly, immediately greeted us, and she was helpful with suggestions plus answering questions. Now for the rest: the place was completely empty. To be fair, it was a cold and rainy day. The inside is very small with limited seating. There is only one booth seating spot to fit 2 people. They have a decent size outdoor patio, but again, the weather was not good to be outside. Our goal was to order a couple items to share so we could both try a couple items. We settled on the Wagyu burger with a side of onion rings and the Chicken Bit Box with fries. When our order was ready, the girl called our names from the counter. First of all, she saw where we were sitting, the place had no one in there except us, so why wouldn't she bring the food to the table for us? Secondly, we explained we were going to split the meal, and we were ordering to eat at the restaurant. With this information, you would think the order would be placed on a tray. The order was handed to me in a bag with a boat type sleeve of the burger topping on the side. We asked for them on the side, so that was fine, but why no tray to carry all this stuff to the table. Not a huge deal, and we made it work. It's just strange for her not to have paid attention to those details. She did seem rattled when we placed our order, so maybe she was having an off day. The best thing about the burger was the bun. They use Martin's Potato Rolls. They are awesome. These are the buns I buy when making burgers at home. They are loaded with sesame seeds, and they are perfectly fluffy. I do not recall them being so much on the small size. The burger looked exceptionally small. The onion rings are thicker than I prefer. They tasted okay. The Chicken Bit Box. BIT is the optimum word and very tiny pieces of chicken that I am not sure should even be called chicken. My friend cut one open and the meat was brown. Definitely not white meat chicken. The fries that come with the bit box are those thick semi curled fries. Some were so thick they didn't get fried well. All in all, it was so poor, I would not even consider giving this place another try. That's one of the reasons I like getting a couple items to split. If one thing is bad, you can give grace, but if everything is bad, that's a problem. The portions are small, the indoor seating selection is small, the drink selection is small, the customer service is small, but the bill was large. $38.83 and that's with a 15% tip which really peeves me. I tipped! Smaller than I would for full service, but more than I normally do for counter service. So tired of that at the screen tip shaming situation. What in the heck did the tip go toward because it certainly wasn't service or quality. Maybe this place was good at first. Seems to be a trend these days to get it right at the beginning, then sluff off as the time goes on. For those who follow me, as I always say with anything less than 4 stars, it pains me to score a place so low. What a shame! read more

$19.40 after tax and tip for a burger combo (as of June 2024). Holy smokes! Everything is self serve, so not sure why I tipped $1. Burger was ok. A bit bland in my opinion but it put food in my stomach. Reminded me of Five Guys, but more expensive. Not worth the cost in my opinion. The fries are cut thick and shaped with a curl to it. Outside is a bit crispy and inside is mushy. Not a huge fan of it because I prefer thinner fries, but ok. If you order a soda, it's not from a fountain but a can. Thought that was interesting. Interior is small and clean, suitable for a casual lunch. Just a few tables. Plenty of parking. read more

Underbelly Burger - This one expensive burger combo. Almost $20 (as of June 2024). Not that great in my opinion - Burgers Near Me - Houston, Texas

Underbelly Burgers absolutely nailed it! From the moment I walked in, the energy was amazing -- the staff was super friendly and had everyone laughing like we were all part of one big inside joke. It's rare to find a place that serves up great food and great vibes like that. Now, the food... wow. The burgers were juicy and full of flavor, but the real stars for me were the Sidewinder fries -- perfectly crispy on the outside, soft inside, and seasoned just right. And don't even get me started on the milkshakes -- thick, creamy, and the perfect sweet finish to the meal. Underbelly Burgers isn't just a burger spot -- it's a full-on good time with amazing food to match. Can't wait to go back! read more

Underbelly Burger - Chocolate milkshake $2.00 off for national chocolate day! - Burgers Near Me - Houston, Texas

The front facing business at this new development in Spring Branch. I'm hoping it elevates, and helps the area begin to turn around a bit quicker. The parking situation here is a bit of an issue when it gets busy on the weekends. There's valet only and you're almost forced to park on the side streets, many people are probably familar with the drill for some of the trendier areas of town. I visited during a Texans watch party at the joining bar The Decoy, which doesn't serve food. Service was relatively quick, which I was expecting as the menu is limited. I like streamlined menus, as you can tend to anticipate extremely well executed food when the selection is small. Went with the Wagyu Burger with everything on it. It s a very traditional double cheeseburger that didn't miss in anyway. Plenty of beef and cheese with condiments that are fresh and cut through the richness. Nice looking seasame seed bun and not too greasy or messy while staying juicy. It didn't stand out too much though, and if you're gonna charge $13 for just the burger it's gotta be in your face good. Good not great. I liked the throwback 60's diner feel and the concept as a whole feels very cohesive. Not a ton of seating inside, but there is a patio and the bar next door if you want to sit and hang out a bit read more

Stopped in on my way to an elite event right behind here. I was hungry and had time before my event started. I ordered the Angus burger and it was very good. It was juicy and came with a double patty with cheese. I didn't order fries but from others there they said they were good. There are lots of burgers out there and this one can hold its own. read more

Underbelly Burger - Angus burger double patty - Burgers Near Me - Houston, Texas

Idk why people are giving this place bad reviews. Some lady gave a 2? Crazy. This is a burger shop with wagyu burgers that are top notch in my opinion. They don't bring it to your table? Who cares, I came here for a great burger and that's what you're getting. There's a volleyball place next door that me and my friends enjoy and plenty of outdoor seating. If you want fine dining go somewhere else. If you want a great burger on a beautiful day, come here. And to the people complaining about the burger - you guys are probably the same people who will go spend the same amount of money at whataburger and be happy. This burger is 10x better than a whataburger. You yelp reviewers make me sick. read more

This is a great place to enjoy a burger. I had the "Lil Wayu" for a single pattie burger and it was plenty. Their house sauce is perfect combo of ketchup, mayo & seasonings. The sidewinder fries were amazing, crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside and dusted with ranch seasoning. Perfect to dip in their peppercorn ranch dip YUM!!! read more

I was looking for a place nearby to get a good hamburger and chose this one because of the local sourcing of the beef. I asked the staff members if the beef was also hormone/antibiotic free and neither of them knew so I'm assuming it's not. It was a good burger but IMO way too much house sauce. The beef tasted good by itself and really doesn't even need sauce. I liked that it had an outdoor patio, but most of the tables were dirty. The inside garbage can was full to the top and there was trash on the floor. The staff was busy, but IMO cleanliness is most important. read more

Underbelly Burger - 44 Farms Angus Burger - Burgers Near Me - Houston, Texas

Was out on a Sunday enjoying the day on my bicycle when I saw this place. And it being lunchtime I decided to try it out. Inside was spotlessly clean and bright like it could have just opened for the first time (Big plus for me). I look over the menu and although a bit thin on options, I decide to go with the main attraction burger (no pickles please) and fries. First off, the fries were fantastic. Thick-cut (I'd never seen fries cut like this before) and fresh. Very impressed. The wagyu burger though was disappointing for me. I get it was done smash-style, however I suppose I was hoping for a burger with premium beef, that I could taste the beef. It was piled on with a sauce, shredded lettuce, onions and cheese, so much so that the beef was just an afterthought somewhere at the bottom not giving me "glad-I came-here" vibes. I knew what the price was before I ordered so I won't complain at that, and although it filled me up, it failed to make me want to return. The fries were great though, and plentiful. read more

Underwhelming! After hearing so many good things, I was completely underwhelmed with the food, partially because they like to serve their burger their way not necessarily how you want it, the staff was nice enough. The ambience was OK. The quality was good. I just didn't quite like the taste, but I'm sure that others will, give it a shot and share what you didn't didn't like as well read more

Conveniently next to The Decoy bar this was a very casual burger joint with a simple, but satisfying menu. The menu has a few options for burgers, including a chicken sandwich. The ordering process was simple and quick, but in peak hours may take a little longer as only 1 area to order from. I went with the classic Angus cheeseburger with a side of fries. Prices are reasonable with an option to even upgrade your combo to include a beer if you so wish. read more

Underbelly Burger - Angus Burger with Fries - Burgers Near Me - Houston, Texas

I was looking forward to this place because I've seen it all over TikTok but I'm sad to say that I left very disappointed. 1. My patty was pink. Not all of it, but for the most part, it was. So it was undercooked. 2. The bun was super soggy 3. The burger has nothing special. It's not seasoned enough. If you want a burger that stands out, go to Rodeo goat, burger joint, or Trill burgers. I will probably not be coming back due to the bad experience and overpriced. $12 for just the burger. If you want a combo, it's an extra $5. read more

Underbelly Burger - Burgers Near Me - Houston, Texas

After a fun night at The Decoy HTX, my girlfriend and I wanted a quick bite before we headed home, so we decided to stop at Underbelly Burger for a quick bite. The place was empty when we got there and even though it was about 45 minutes till close the staff was nice and seemed happy to serve us, which I really appreciated! The decorations and music gave this place a cheery and uplifting vintage diner vibe which I also loved. We decided to order the R-C Ranch Wagyu Burger which came in at $13. This is an expensive price point for a burger but after reading a little more about the company's mission of sustainability, I presumed this price point came as a result of the means involved in that mission. While I can understand most people wouldn't want to pay more than double the normal price of a burger in the name of sustainability, I can appreciate their intentions and be willing to pay up in order to try it out. If I'm being completely honest the burger was underwhelming. It was an OK burger and I would say its main strengths were that the lettuce and tomato tasted extremely fresh and the bun with extra sesame seeds was very tasty. The patties and the cheese both lacked flavor which was the main source of my disappointment. I think Underbelly Burger has a lot of potential. They have an honorable mission, very friendly staff, and a cool atmosphere. I just wish that the taste of the burger matched its reputation and price point. While I wouldn't jump to recommend this place to my friends, I would be willing to give them another try in the future. read more

Solid burger and fries! The ambience was lacking and it's a small place but food was great

Well, where do I even begin? My excitement for Underbelly Burger quickly turned into disappointment and frustration. Despite being conveniently close to my house, the experience was an absolute letdown. Upon arrival, I found myself waiting around with my family to place an order. We did see two other guests finished up their meals so I know someone was working behind the counter at 2pm on a Thursday?? Despite our attempts to grab someone's attention, by saying "hello hello" not a single staff member bothered to acknowledge us or take our order. It's like we were invisible!

I ordered the wagyu burger, it was okay...I hate to say that because I was so looking forward to this place and the upcoming of the neighborhood. The saving grace here was the French fries, great crunch & very well seasoned! My husband got the bacon hotdogs and it was ONE Winnie cut in half for two hotdogs... yes. They cut a hotdog Winnie in half and placed half into the bun and there was no bacon ? Huge bummer on that. Overall the staff was friendly, the restaurant was empty but clean, the prices were a bit high for the food being underwhelming. I hope they take these comments and fix their menu a bit so they can survive the area. There was a lot of hype for the opening so a lot of us a bit disappointed in the outcome. read more

I originally passed this place by for YEARS without going in, then one day I decided, "eh, might as well. I was genuinely surprised that the place felt like it just came out of the 50s and decided to get with the times. The menu is very short, but that just means that everything is made fresh. The burgers are made classic with good quality meats and with a side of fries that I didn't know could be that shape. Their fries are some of the crunchiest and simultaneously some of the fluffiest I have ever put in my mouth. I don't know how they make them, but good God, they better patent them. Like 5 Guys, its served in the bag. No plates or tray. Just a damn good meal. Seriously, if you are ever are hungry and passing by, give this spot a try. read more

First the good: the French fries were great. And the bun was great. The not so good: the burger was bland and didn't have much flavor. Tasted like something I could've cooked at home. Not sure if it was the quality of meat or the lack of seasoning. But the burger was just okay. Definitely a let down knowing the reputation of Chris S. and Underbelly. I think they need to reevaluate the seasoning of the patties. Love the atmosphere and the staff. Easy in and out. But to get people coming back, the burger needs to improve. read more

Still traumatized from my first and last experience at underbelly. More than half way into my kale salad I discovered a maggot. I immediately felt sick to my stomach. I sent an email nearly a month ago to the restaurant to provide them feedback and I have yet to receive a response. On top of this awful experience, I found the prices to be too high for the portion and the burger was less than impressive. The burger was small, dry and lacked flavor. The cashier was friendly, but the rest of the staff did not seem customer centric. I was excited to support a new local business but I will not be a returning customer. Disappointed they did not have the decency to acknowledge my concern as a customer. Based on some of the comments below I am not convinced they are especially concerned by customer feedback. read more

In summary: really disappointed. The burger was okay. Maybe even good, but not great, and not worth $12. The fries tasted like oil and while the crunchy parts were better the thick parts were dry and bland. We were severely underwhelmed and don't plan to return. read more
