JLB Eatery

Not impressed. Had the bacon cheeseburger. As many have mentioned, they have fresh made buns, but with a smash style burger, they are way too much bread. Couldn't taste any of the toppings. Also patty needed seasoning. Onion rings were pretty good.

The food and service were equally great, and I plan to return and try more menu items. The interior is small, but it is clean and has adequate seating. The service was excellent. The cashier/manager was very welcoming and offered recommendations for food. Additionally, she offered several different types of salad dressing and sauces for the fish. I ordered the cajun-style fish. It was excellent. The fish n' chips I eat are hit or miss, and this is definitely a hit! The batter was crispy and seasoned. The fish was soft and flaky. Paired with the tartar sauce, I was a happy camper. The fries/chips are equally excellent. They were the perfect level of crispy, had good flavor, and were a great complement to the fish. The same can be said for the hush puppy, which I wish I had more of. The slice of bread was fluffy and light, and you can tell they're not lying when they say it is made fresh. Overall, I recommend you try JLB Eatery. The prices are fair, so it's not a huge investment to enjoy the food.

JLB Eatery is what you want a local restaurant to be. It has phenomenal customer service and the food is even better. I had the chance to eat a burger from here during a work luncheon that won me over instantly. The fresh baked hamburger buns are to die for. They are so soft and delectable. On to the food. JLB Cheese Burger. 9/101 Certified Angus Beef patty, mayonnaise, cheese, lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, and onions on a fresh baked bun. The burger was great, the veggies were crisp and fresh. The bun was like wow. So good. Crazy Burger. 9/102 Certigied Angus Beef patties, 2 Slices Cheese, Mayo, Lettuce, Pickles, Bacon. Tomatoes, Grilled Onions, and Thousand Island Dressing.Ok, the burger was better than the first burger I had but the first one was still great. With the two patties it was quite monstrous. Loved the crispy char on the edges of the burger. Way to big to eat and go back to work comfortably but I did and paid the price. Oh well it was worth it. Go give them a try if you haven't, it's a really great place that will give you awesome food and service.

Great service and the burgers are absolutely delicious This place did not disappoint. We will be back soon!

The food here is amazing! I really enjoyed my burger and fries. The bf had tots that were also so yummy. The menu has a ton of choices if you aren't in the mood for a burger. I will be coming back.

Great greasy burger!! I had no idea the burgers were this big! Well worth the price. I was barely able to eat half. The meat is greasy good, complete with a happy mild stomach ache. The bun was fantastic. The bun wasn't mooshy, it had good structure to stand up to this huge burger, but also an enriched airy dough. I didn't order the sweet potato fries. I was full. They aren't my favorite. I'll definitely be back to try the fish and chicken.

yes, the food was very good and fresh and "homemade". You got a decent amount for your money and everything tasted great! It's sort of a mom and pop type place and we really enjoyed it!

When this was first put in next to Kroger, I had really high hopes as I had heard the quality of meat would be better than your average burger joint. The prices also seemed lower. But unfortunately I wasn't blown away with the quality of food . Their food is just a grease trap and although maybe a little cheaper there are just so many better options literally around the corner . " Locals " and " 1895" just to name a few . Service was ok if not a little slow . It's somewhat small on the inside so when it gets crowded it can be loud . This place was a one and done for me .

**Tip Shaming Alert**Though this place felt like a mom and pop operation -- perhaps because of its location in a strip mall, lack of branding on cups and the kitschy laminated menu at the counter -- but there appears to be numerous locations throughout the greater Houston area. The atmosphere and service here also made it feel like a homegrown business. Laminate counter- and tabletops, a variety of Magnolia-esque decor and nine tables fill this clean, small spot. Ordering happens at the register here and the customer service was good. The young lady taking our order was new, and she was assisted by someone whom I assume was the manager and/or owner. We let them know that we were first-timers, and they let us know what was popular (and why). Very nice. Without a doubt, the best thing about the burgers here is the bread. The restaurant makes claim that it is baked fresh daily in-house, and the fluffy consistency and rich flavor confirms that. This might be the best bread that I've had with a burger in quite a while! The burger itself though... While it appeared to be course ground, there was really no juiciness. This place advertises that it uses Black Angus to make the burgers. Either they use an 11 percent fat ratio (or lower), or someone left mine on the grill a little too long. The flavor was good, albeit over-salted.The London-style catfish fillet was superbly prepared. Crisp batter. Very clean and flaky fish. I initially believed that they really should be using cod or pollock, as did another patron that I overheard. But, I was wrong. This is good stuff. Fries here are served hot and crisp. Beverages here come from the self-serve fountain and are of the PepsiCo brand. Overall, a good experience with freshly prepared food.**Tip Shaming Alert**The practice of tip shaming has become more prevalent over the past few years. It essentially involves an option at the point-of-sale to tip or not tip -- while the employee is right there looking at you. First, gratuities have traditionally been offered *after* the meal. Further, gratuities are traditionally intended for servers whose hourly wage is much less than other restaurant employees. I am hardly 'Mr. Pink' (Google "Reservoir Dogs") when it comes to tipping. But it is quite presumptuous to *ask* for a tip.

First time to order from JLB Eatery thru DoorDash. My neighbor highly recommended your restaurant. WOW !! DOUBLE WOW!! The hamburger is HUGE and so tasty!! I love the fresh made bun, the grilled smoked hamburger made just like I like it! I ordered the combo with fries and the fries were crispy and just right! I will definitely be recommending your restaurant to all my friends!
