Texas Hamburger Palace

This is one of the Best hidden burger joints in Houston. I would give them 10 stars if possible. Fresh food at affordable prices.

This place looks a little shady on the outside in an outdated building, but don’t let that fool you. When you walk inside its a completely different experience. It has an ice house type of vibe for a mom pop shoppe. The employees are super friendly and the food comes out fairly quickly.
I got the Texas combo with grilled onions, bacon, and cheese. The burger is huge. I had a hard time figuring out how I was going to take my first bite. The burger was well seasoned and juicy. The components of the burger are real simple, but the flavor and the cook is just perfection. The fries don’t taste like they’re frozen/​out of a bag. They tasted like the real deal. I asked for them to be extra crispy and they delivered. This is one of the best places to get a burger and an order of fries in Houston. I’ll be back!

Ah yes, the Texas Hamburger Palace. Where do I begin? A co-​worker has been telling me and telling me that I need to try this place. I said, sure lets go. I went last Friday. The place looks like it’s in a really bad shopping center and makes you question if you even want to go in. But please look beyond that and do yourself a favor and go in! Order that Texas Combo (or any burger on the menu), get those fries extra crispy, and enjoy it! Because guess what? That’s what you will do!
The internal atmosphere is very Icehouse style. The smell of delicious grilled burgers filled the air! Totally was not expecting that. You order at the bar and then they bring the food to you. Burgers came out quick and the place had a steady amount of people coming and going.
The staff was very friendly and for the area, this was the best burger I have had to date!
Great little Mom/​Pop joint, I will be back!

The Burger was huge and tasted great!!!
No problem with the burger… I had a problem with the fries… An order almost cost 4 $ really expensive for fries. He tells me they are curly fries… I get my order and see he gave me Texas fries… I’m like wtf… I’ll go again prob in a year or so…

After hearing everyone at work rave about it I decided to try it. All the great reviews I heard at work could barely describe how great this burger was. I got the super combo with everything. The best grilled onions I’ve ever had! Perfect amount of veggies. When I couldn’t finish the burger I figured I’d just eat the remaining bacon. What I didn’t realize was that they put at least half a lb of bacon on there! The fries were good too. Wish I had more room to eat more.

Loved it. Made to order burgers and Fries. Not for vegetarians or people on a diet. Come early, the line gets long…

I love the fact that they have a variety of food and they stay open late so I can enjoy the great burgers and fries!!!

I used to work a block away from THP, and I still think about it to this day even though I live up in Dallas now.
The place just screams «dive bar», but the staff was always polite, remembers you if you’re a repeat customer and the service was always ridiculously fast at lunch time.
This place was doing bacon cheeseburgers right before anyone else. Thick slices of well marbled bacon and nice thick slices of American. If there was any place where I’d accept a burger that wasn’t cooked to order it’s from here.
It is VERY out of the way and you could just as easily miss it if you’re not looking for the entrance, but if you make it here, you’ll want to come back.

This place is a little out of the way and in a seemingly odd location, but it’s one of the best burgers I’ve had in Houston. It is always teeming with a large lunch crowd and everything is cooked fresh. Relatively quick and has a handful of menu items for the non-​hamburger eater including chicken strips, grilled chicken sandwich, fish sandwich, etc.
They have big burgers and combos for just $ 8. It’s a nice chummy/​bar atmosphere without actually being an old rundown, routy bar. If you want a burger, come here

Great atmosphere. Friendly staff and melt in your mouth burgers. Excited to try the spicy fries
Love the decorations and wooden feel. I’m a visitor and now I know I’m in Texas.

If u want a tasty burger, this is your spot! I visited ⁰⁷⁄₃₀. I got the super combo and that thing was huge, but I mean everything is BIGGER in TEXAS. My friend and I came in around lunch time and the service was fast. I just wanna throw in we were the only ladies in the building. It seems kinda man cavey but I’ll be back for the burgers for sure.

Get ready to hit the gym after a visit here! This is definitely the place I visit when I’m craving a HUGE juicy burger. When I say juicy, I’m telling you the juice is sliding down my hands even after cutting the burger in half. The portions are huge for the price and they are not shy on the side ingredients. Those grilled onions and mushrooms were just amazing. I almost guarantee you that with the burger and sides being so plentiful, get ready to grab that to-​go box! Be prepared for a large crowd during lunch time because a lot of company workers near by just take over the restaurant. The restaurant also has this sport baseball theme going on that definitely suites to the tasty burgers!

I saw the 4 star rating and decided to try this place out, and I was totally dissatisfied. The burger is nothing special. It tastes no better than anything you can make at home. The cheese doesn’t come melted, the fries were not crispy, and the prices were too high. You could get a better burger at smash burger and 5 guys for less. Will not return.

Would not have expected to find this place in this shopping center, but a good find for a reasonably priced burger in our area. They’re a good size, not too greasy and would recommend the fried zucchini as a side instead of the fries. I got the buffalo burger — thought it would be a hot buffalo sauce but not. Didn’t really taste like buffalo meat so not sure what it was, but well it was delicious!

Meh.
Come on, Houston Unilocal,we can find and praise better places. It’s a small privately owned place in a hole in the wall part of town — I was really rooting for a great find. But the food isn’t very good. There is nothing special or unique or high quality.
The staff was polite and the place was kept clean.
We won’t be going back. Was really hoping for something much more remarkable.

I should so go here more often. It’s just so off the beaten path I don’t think of it until it’s too late. So let me put it in the front of your mind. Go there for lunch next week if you can. Don’t be afraid of the industrial location or the odd businesses that share the parking lot.
Nothing fancy inside. But it’s always clean. Order at the counter. They’ll bring your food to you on a little red tray. They bring lots of extra napkins because you will need them. Juicy goodness. I won’t say greasy juicy but the meat isn’t cooked dry and the grilled onions I always get are super juicy, greasy good!
Get the toppings and meat you want. All of it fresh and plentiful. Note: If you get jalapenos on your burger make sure to check under the bun before you bite in. They don’t fear the pepper! The wife loves that the buns are seedless.
Yeah, they have salads and chicken sammies and other stuff. But why? Why would you go to a place that has hamburger in its name and order a salad?
I usually get one if the combos on the small chalkboard because I’m gonna get a drink and fries anyhow. You don’t save anything with the combo but they sometimes have a specialty burger on the special board. Fountain drinks or a beer? Yep. The fries are salty good but sometimes a little soft for fries with the skin still on.
This isn’t your conveyor belt built burger. These are hand squished on the grill, made to order old fashioned burgers. They aren’t charcoaled on the backyard grill. It’s a flat top so if you want the Burger King flavor don’t come here.
Someone remind me to go here more often.

Overall the experience was fantastic. The atmosphere was great. The fries are great, the staff was just as southern hospitality is– genuine and warm. I had a combo meal with an original burger and fries with a beverage. The burger itself lives up to the phrase about everything being bigger in Texas and I could hardly finish all of it and eat fries as well. I will certainly be back!

When it comes to burgers — this is definitely the place to be — its nothing fancy nor overpriced. Just a plain good ol fashioned burger.
I have come here for years — the owners are not afraid to get their hands dirty to cook.
This place used to be very busy but since the westpark tollway was built around that area it made the place hidden.
The staff is super friendly and their burgers are to die for — I have yet to find a burger better than them that’s not overpriced.
In my opinion, this is not a place for dinner or a place to take a date but for lunch its the best.
I would definitely go back!

It had been nearly 10 years since I came here last but I wanted to try it again. This recent visit, I probably even ordered the same menu item, the double hamburger. What better way to taste the beef than having ²⁄₃ lb of been in between a bun with little extra added.
The patties here are pre-​formed, but I believe they are probably fresh beef. Regardless, I found the burgers to be just average in taste. There was no chargrilled flavor, they are not cooked above a mesquite grill or fire and they were just nothing special to me.
The fries were pretty interesting too, because they have the look of fresh cut fries, but when you bite into them, they are not fresh cut taste and texture. Immediately, I noticed a crispness to them instead of a slight sogginess with typical fresh cut fries, which indicates they were probably pre-​cut, frozen and thawed when needed.
I doubt I will be back. For my money, I’d rather go somewhere else.

Very nice place recommend by my co worker. I always pass by this area and never tho it would be a nice restaurant.
We came here for lunch. Both of us ordered turkey burger combo ($ 7.95). It’s a fair price. The burger is kinda big and delicious!
The interior is kinda special too. I will definitely come back here for lunch again!
