Lake Houston Bbq Grill

Homestyle burger extra tomatoes. Food was good. Huge portions. Only ate half my burger and tops. Tots are seasoned, a little heavy for me but that's personal preference. Very rustic atmosphere which was vey relaxed. Only issue was the amount of flies in the dining room. Took off one star for that. Service was excellent. Assuming family-owned business. Definitely not a chain.

So every day on the way to my farmstead I see a sign touting "Best burgers in town!" Then a few miles down the street there is a gas station that says "Best burgers in town." I figured there can't be two so I tried this one. Its fairly new, and I try not to judge a place in the early days before they get their footing. Its hard to start up a business and then some jerk comes along and kills your dreams before you even start getting your groove. That's not me. So I will focus on the good with a few points they can improve on. The ambience is super casual. Its a converted Conex with a closed in porch. Already my kind of place. They have your typical burger joint food with some sandwiches (club, chicken, cheesesteak etc). When you walk in there is a window saying "Order" and another saying "Pick-up." I waited at the closed order window for over five mins. There is a sign saying ring the bell but the bell has been removed. Then I noticed waitresses where actually taking orders at tables. Wouldve been nice to see us standing there and advising there was table service. So we sat down, waited another ten mins and finally a waitress came over. Caveat: there were only two and one was pregnant, and the place was pretty busy. And I mentioned it's new. So we both got burgers. I mean, let's see if they can put their money where their mouth is, right?? I got a bacon cheeseburger which was on their special lunch list (they have a special each day I think from 11a-2p. Nice touch!). Well it took awhile again, but then it came out and was epic. Just huge. She asked if I needed a knife. I declined. I don't eat burgers or pizza with a knife. You really shouldn't be allowed on the Yelp Elite squad if you do. That's my opinion. Fight me. But I found a way. And it was...worth the wait! Damn good...no, great burger. Seasoned just right, not over mixed but still mainly holding together, nice sear, bacon crispy, fresh veggies including avocado that I added. And the fries were awesome too. Boardwalk style fries that must've been cut from fresh potatoes. Not some frozen store bought crap. So all in all, I would say definitely give this a try. I tried on a Saturday and it was definitely slower than it should've been but not sure about a weekday. They have a drive thru also. I don't know if it's open. And I can't imagine you would receive food in a timely drive thru kinda way. Wouldn't suggest that at this point. Staff was friendly. Got my drink filled. And they apologized for the wait, so I'm guessing they are aware of that issue. But I'd rather have good food after a wait than bad food quick. I'd go back. And ai will keep going if they fix their timing issues.

I liked this place a lot! Theres a few things they need to fix but the food was not one of them. This place is pretty small but they do have a drive through a available. It seems like they are short staffed but for only one waitress helping 6 tables we got our food fairly fast. A big shout out to her because she was fast and super friendly! The one issue they did have was a few flies because the customers do have the doors don't close by themselves. If they add a few fly traps by doors on the outside and inside they would minimize this issue but I believe this is not a deal breaker due to them having a drive through. If the flies are and issue for you then definitely take it to go. Now the food. I had the brisket baked potato and I tore it up to fast to even take a picture! The amount of meat that they put on the potato is very generous and SUPER tender. My husband had the bacon cheeseburger and added grilled onions to it which was a game changer and really good. As an app we had the bottle cap jalapeño which are served with ranch and those were spicy but really good. Overall this is a must try place. I highly recommend this place.

This is our first time trying this place and sadly, I am kind of disappointed.I had the philly cheese steak and my husband had the bacon cheeseburger.The amount of food was decent for the price.The Philly cheese steak was so bland, zero flavor and tasted like it was cooked in old grease. The best thing was the bread, sadly. I'm hoping it was just a one time bad day.The tator tots were really good though.The burger was full of flavor and the sourdough bun was a nice touch. He also got the bottle caps and said they were really good as well.I'll try something different next time, hopefully it will be better.

The Lake Houston, barbecue Grill in Huffman Texas just a few miles north of FM 1960 off of FM 2100 was a pleasant surprise. Outside, while whizzing by at 50 mph, the building looks somewhat not like a restaurant. It was an odd structure located in a large fairly industrial looking location. However I never hold the casualness of a barbecue joint against them. Great barbecue joints, often reside in rather informal and casual locations. Lake Houston barbecue was no exception. So naturally when eating at a barbecue facility for the first time, I personally look for the spare ribs. Unfortunately, they don't sell ribs or any on the bone protein. But they do offer brisket and pulled sandwiches Since brisket is one of my favorites I ordered a pound of it so that my family and I could all sample sone. It was seasoned wonderfully, tender, and had a nice, pleasant but intense smoke flavor. Unfortunately it was leaner than I prefer but of course that's just personal preference. Then I've violated one of my standing orders which is never order seafood at a barbecue/ steak restaurant and vice versa. But I did it anyway and I ordered their seafood sampler. This selection was a pleasant surprise. the shrimp was crispy and flavorful. The fried catfish was crispy on the outside, moist in the middle and very delicious and their fries just like all the other food was seasoned to perfection. It was hard to believe a barbecue pitmaster could produce such great tasting seafood at the same time. But this facility managed to pull it off. So whenever I have a taste for something other than spareribs I'll definitely hold this restaurant in mind.

If you want a homemade hamburger or club sandwich (this is what we ordered) I can recommend this place. All the food is homemade, including the French fries! Big plus!!! Very casual dining and not busyIf you are looking for a place to grab a burger or sandwich, I recommend this place. Much better than the chain restaurants

The burgers are great! I got the Hangover Burger and I also had a side of onion rings that I wasn't such a fan of but overall service was good, I would definitely go again.

Great food and customer service.Baked potatoes and burgers are delicious. Ordered and picked up with no issues.

Good food, Recommend for anyone looking for a good bite with family . Best burgers around .
