Burger House

The burger was tasty. The bacon was overlooked. Quite chewy. The cheese was just America. Standard yellow slice. The fries were okay– sure tasted like frozen crinkle cut. I ordered the ½… May have been slightly light; but not like I need the extra. The toppings were on a buffet style table. It was clean; and with multiple pincers. The toppings were actually kept cool enough that the trays had condensation. Very happy to see that. The coke machine has seen better days. A cardboard kid covers the aged ice chute; not sure why that isn’t covered by the integrated ice machine. The restaurant was maybe a ⁷⁄₁₀ for cleanliness. I think it could greatly improve with little effort if someone in charge just stepped in wearing a first time visitors shoes. I’d come back, maybe not as frequent as some of the other lunch spots tho.

Just an update: I take back what I said about the fries. They cook to order, and if you want super crispy dark mahogany-​colored fries like I do they will do that upon request. Once I learned that they quickly became the best fries around. Which I never thought could be the case with crinkle cut, but it works.

I love love loooove their burgers! They’re fresh and made when ordered. They have an area where you can add your own veggies/​toppings on your burger, which is super awesome, and you can choose how you want your burger made. You can tell that the meat is not pre made or frozen and honestly it tastes very homey and real which is all I need at times! Always a great pick for burgers.

I recently have visited The Burger House for lunch twice in about 8 days. Let just say that their burgers are really good. I loved the fresh baked hamburger buns, and the condiments bar was certainly nice to have around.
The last I visited I had the Bulgogi Burger and boy was that a treat. Very tasty!
As for the friendliness of the staff, I don’t know what people expect from small business workers. They were pretty friendly to me and my team that piled into the restaurant.

My bday and stopped in here for a late lunch on a Saturday. The guy working the register did not speak to us… not very welcoming. I places the order, but the menu board had so much listed that I missed a couple of things. I ordered the turkey burger, but cheese was .32 cents extra. Bf ordered the bulgoki burger, which is sirloin meat marinated in teriyaki and soy sauce. We paid for the food and waited for him to call her number. After I ordered I realized I could have added mushrooms and onions all after the fact. I looked for the cashier and found him dropping fries. I asked if I could add something to my order. He walked out, wiped his hand on a towel and took my money. He then went back in the kitchen and went back to prepping food. Did he wash his hands after he took my money. I would rather not know at this point. The turkey burger was ok… not anything special. Bf was not crazy about his burger, but he consumed it. I posted a picture for your viewing pleasure. Will I go back? Probably not, but I’m glad I knocked it off the list.

I loved the scene, the atmosphere, the vibe and the fact that you build your own burger practically. Definitely recommend to everyone. New favorite burger place.

Another Unilocal win! I give it a 4+.
Tasty veggie burger run by nice Korean folks. Service was warm and friendly. Food was freshly prepared, especially the buns.
Fixin’s station was sweet. Everything tastes home made. If they would have made their own cheese sticks, I would have given 5 stars. Everything was tasty. Thanks Unilocal

The food is good BUT MAKE SURE YOU COME EARLY!!!
Even though the sign on the door says open until 8pm, they close earlier.
I drove 10 miles tonight (gps eta 7:48pm) to get my son a burger only to find the door locked-​at 7:48pm!!!
They really need to honor the hours of operation or change the sign!!!

Let’s go to Sam’s, buy an industrial size bag of OreIda crinkle cuts and some frozen Bubba Burgers and open a restaurant! Now I didn’t say Sam’s Choice burgers so it’s not totally disgusting. I was able to eat half of the burger and a fourth of the fries.
The owners’ friend must be writing these reviews. There is one review that just stuck out…“if you like frozen burgers that taste like rubber this is your place” but nooooo I didn’t listen.
The service was great if that counts for anything.

Holy cow this place is great. I came here with a friend because we were on Galveston Road 3 and we were hungry for lunch. This place is in a cruddy little strip mall, and it would be super easy to miss it.
Inside, you order at the counter, and then when your order is placed up in the window, you go get it yourself.
You can get ¹⁄₃ lb or ½ lb burgers, turkey burger, vegetarian burger. And your choice of a zillion toppings. I got sauteed onions and mushrooms. This thing was so much more delicious than I would have expected. Pretty sure the buns were house-​made. The tater tots were also really good — I can’t wait to come back again and try onion rings or fries next time.
If you’re in Clear Lake /​Webster and in the mood for a burger, don’t go to any of the fast food places, make your way here instead. You’ll be super happy that you did.

Alright, after reading many glorifying reviews of Burger House I had to give it a try. I had been there twice before but both times they were closed. They close early on Saturday and closed all day Sunday. I am guessing the majority of their business is the lunch time crowd. I went in for dinner. They were not very busy.
Price is great considering it is a homemade burger joint. The buns are homemade and the foot is cooked for each order, including the seasoned fries which were great and numerous. It was about 8 – 10 minutes wait for the food and everything was delicious. I had the ¹⁄₃ lb Bacon Burger Combo.
Next time I will go for the ½ lb and have Swiss cheese instead of American. I am also looking forward to trying their rib-​eye sandwich. I also liked their condiment bar. Overall it was a good experience. They come in at 4 stars because 4 ½ is saved for Buddy’s in Beecher, IL and 5 stars is only for the Awful Awful Burger at the Little Nugget in Reno.

I love coming here for lunch when I’m craving a burger. So much better than wasting your money at McDonalds or Burger King. I like that they have a bar where you can dress your burger the way you like it. They’re fast. Buns are yummy and fries are so so. Give them a try if you haven’t already.

I’m rating the burger since that’s what this place is about. It’s has a smoked/​grilled flavor that’s pleasing. The burger comes naked and they have a fixins bar with the standard burger fixins. All in all the burger’s good, better than most fast food burgers, but it isn’t grand. We only had the burger so I can’t say about fries and such. I later saw a customer with tater tots and would have ordered them had I realized they had them when we ordered.
I didn’t count off for these, but the A/​C can’t keep up, it was too warm in the restaurant. We were there at noon and parking in front was jammed. We got the last spot when we arrived and it was the only open spot when we left. They have a sign saying there’s parking in the rear. I don’t know how convenient it is.
We had to drive about 6 miles. The burger wasn’t good enough to repeat that, so we probably won’t be back.

Burgers were good, sides just average. If I lived close to it I’d probably go back but it’s not something that you make a drive for.

For a burger joint it’s def. 5 stars… Was told to try the place by a friend. Expectations exceeded. Had the standard burger and it was great can’t wait to try other options

I have become a bit of a burger snob (my wife’s description). I’m looking for fresh beef and fresh buns, plus fresh cut fries after being spoiled by other places that do. This place (despite one other claim) does use fresh beef — I watched it go on the grill. They put a season mixture on the patties that I liked but my wife and teen daughter did not. The buns are fluffy and large, which means even a ¹⁄₃ pound patty has to be thin to cover most of it, leading to a drier, fully well done burger. Despite this, there was some juice coming off the burger. Decent burger, complimented by the topping station, which looks generic but has what is needed — shredded and leaf lettuce, pickles, onions, pickle relish, jalapeños, plus ketchup, mustard, mayo and my favorite, A-​1 sauce.
Sides are all frozen, a drawback. Nice that they have tater tots and onion rings, which were decent but nothing special. Fries are crinkle cut — generous portion but still frozen fries. Place isn’t much for interior decoration. Local owned and fresh beef means i would give 3.5 stars if I could, but I would still lean toward Five Guys for the fresh cut fries. I miss Mooyah and wish for someplace closer to this end of Clear Lake.
They do have chicken strips, fried shrimp and some other options, but I would bet they are all frozen products as well, so that might help for those not wanting a burger but I can’t recommend them.

SO DELICIOUS! Burgers are amazing and fries are great! Food is ALWAYS fresh and made once you order. Definitely recommend this burger joint!!!
Only thing that is bad is there store hours. But other than that it’s great.

Thanks for coming through for me again, Unilocal!
I needed to find a place to grab a quick bite to eat with my family in Clear Lake, and this place came up on my Unilocal app with 5 stars, so I thought what the heck — I happened to be craving a burger anyways and didn’t want to spend some serious coin and the reviews looked good.
This place is a burger joint right across the street from Ellington field. As other reviewers have mentioned, it’s run by some very nice Korean folks. The set-​up is Fuddrucker-​ish, where there is a topping and condiment station. I recommend the bulgogi burger — it was unique and delicious! The buns are baked fresh in store, and when you taste them you’ll realize what a difference it makes (I’m not the type of person who usually pays attention to the burger buns, but these were darned good). Their lunch specials are ridiculously cheap too — you can get a burger combo with fries and drink for less than 7 bux! A little tip — you can make yourself a nice little fry sauce by mixing the ketchup, mayo, and Sriracha at the condiment station :)
I want to come back and try the rest of the menu as well. They seemed to sell other stuff like steak, chicken fried chicken, and fried fish… all for dirt cheap prices. Definitely going to drop by again when I’m craving some cheap eats!

Oh yeah I’m a fan! I was so sad when Burger Tex on Bay Area Blvd. closed because while I’m not a huge lover of burgers, I do enjoy one every now and then. And not a McDonald’s burger either. It doesn’t have to be fancy, but it has to be good.
And Burger House burgers are good! I got the ¹⁄₃ lb burger combo with fries and a medium pop and I was full! For $ 6.24 that was a LOT of food. And it was hot and fresh too; I’m not really crazy about fries either but I think I’m crazy about these little crispy-​on-​the-​outside-​soft-​on-​the-​inside crinkle cut fries! (Yeah yeah I know… not a fan of burgers or fries… don’t judge me. lol)
As Bo said, you get your burgers plain and then go to the condiment bar to dress it up. They have lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles, jalapenos, pico de gallo and relish, plus a nice assortment of sauces; the usual mayo, mustard, and ketchup, plus sriracha sauce, Tabasco, and A-​1!
I also liked all the different choices on the menu… they had Garden Burgers, grilled chicken, grilled chicken salad plus shrimp and chicken strips/​nuggets baskets.
And the buns! Oh my gosh yummy carbs! *cough* Sorry I really like carbs. lol They advertise them as «fresh baked» everyday and I can believe it! They were toasted and had just a little toasty crunch but nice and soft inside. Oh yeah. I like these buns! They need just a bun burger… as in a bun sans the meat! Hey I’d order that!
I know we will be back; the husband loves burger and fries and I definitely like the different healthier options like the salads and veggie burger!
Thank you Burger House for being good and hot and fresh and for NOT being McDonalds!

New local burger joint right across from Ellington Field on Hwy3. It’s owned by a Korean family and seems to be pretty vacant most of the time. That’s surprising considering it’s one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. It’s flame grilled patties are marinated to perfection and their wavy fries are crispy and fresh. It’s similar to Fuddrucker’s in the sense you add on your own toppings. I actually love this since I love condiments and veggies. For a low price of about $ 8, you can get a ½lb juicy burger with grilled mushrooms, fries, and a drink! It’s the best!
