Flip 'n Patties - Downtown

So I'm working downtown now in the BoA tower and Understory below our building in the tunnels has some pretty great lunch options. I decided to try Flip'n Patties as I remember from when they were just a food truck, but never had the chance to try them out. I'm a burger fanatic and have very high expectations. I do try to limit my carbs, but was craving fries this day, so I opted for the burger as a salad and I'm happy this was an option for any burger. I got the Pogimelt salad and my fries of course. The fries were perfectly crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, salty and just what I needed! My enjoyed the Pogimelt salad although I couldn't finish it. The patties were a bit larger than I usually like, and could have been a bit better with a little more caramelization, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. The service was friendly (I ate at the counter), and I will definitely be back! If you happen to be downtown, I'd definitely stop by Understory to give them a try.

I was introduced to this place during a tunnel tour and they said it was some of the best Filipino food in Houston and has been named that for years so I knew I had to try it. The pictures were beautiful and the idea of lechon kawali had me firm in this decision for this place for lunch! I got a lechon kawali plate which included garlic rice.I thought it was good but very salty. Too salty for me to finish tbh. But portions and prices were excellent. I hear the burgers there are delicious so I'd come back to try them.

Came to Understory with my friends for Tuesday night free lotteria and $1 tacos from La Taquiza. Parking can be validated for 2 hours if you make a purchase after 4 pm! The lumpia were small but crunchy on the outside. Hard to describe the flavor of the filling. The vampries have a garlic salt coverings that was so yummy! If you don't like extra seasoned fries I would not recommend it. I wish they were a bit more crispy but I think the amount and size were worth the price. The workers were nice and let me know my food was ready when I was walking around.

For one it's in the tunnels. That was super cool. The burgers were cooked to order, juicy, messy, and huge. Amazing. We chatted with the owner while we weee there, very good people. They have another location further west of downtown that I'll probably try. Definitely recommend!

I made the walk today to Understory to check out this spot. I took a few moments to look over the menu they had posted before deciding whether or not to get in line. One of the entrances to the Downtown Tunnel was nearby, a couple of folks walked out and the dude goes "oh this place is good" and they immediately got in line. After hearing that statement and observing the line grow, I decided to join it before it got too long.I ordered the Chicken Pupu with Garlic Rice and Fliprolls. Lady taking the order asked if I wanted it regular or spicy. I requested spicy. Order was ready in 15 minutes, which I felt was a nice response time. Ate some there and took the remainder back to the office. Meal was good and had some flavor to it, but it was nowhere near spicy. Fliprolls were awesome and I'd definitely order those on my next visit. My meal was nice and filling, at some point I'll make the walk again and try more items from their menu. Also wanted to note (and I may do this next time) that they accept online orders so that your lunch can be ready soon as you walk up. They'll put the order in a bag labeled with your name so that you can just walk up, grab it and go. Quite useful for those who don't have much time on their hands and need to keep it moving.

Made the trek downtown for a burger.the bun was very soft and tasty but the burger was just ok - not setting me up for a have to return visit-- fries were good prolly the best thing imho...

Located in the food court at Understory in downtown Houston, my friend and I decided to eat here since we had passed it on the way to and away from the restroom (lol) and my god, the smell was hard to pass on. I never usually eat Filipino food but always knew they made food with great flavors. My friend and I settled on the mini kamayan, and like everyone else said, it definitely feeds 3-4 people instead of the 2 people stated on their menu. What a great value! The rice had a buttery/garlicky taste that was oh so good. The different meats within the kamayan all had their own flavors and textures. I was extremely impressed that I liked all of them. My favorite would probably be the grounded patties. The kamayan also comes with a sweet and sour sauce and gravy that compliments the meats. Shoutout to the workers there that night who really took care of me and my friend! They were the sweetest and had great energy.

This place markets itself as a Filipino-style burger joint, but the burgers themselves suggest otherwise. I had a feeling of deja vu while I was eating my Jeepney, that it tastes just like every other burger restaurant I've since tried. I don't get enough "Filipino" from my burger. Still a good burger joint, just don't expect these burgers to taste "authentically Filipino".

The food was absolutely amazing and reminded my husband of the food he ate growing up in Hawaii. The mini Kamayan was the BEST shareable platter! The service was great and we will definitely be back to try more!

Amazing delicious food. For some reason these Filipinos really know how to make fries. They are the this crispiest thickest fries I've tried in a long time... so delicious another highlight in the menu is the chicken pupu. Burgers are also top-notch and very generous with the patty size. A hidden gem for burgers & fries
