Took my wife here for her first time. I've had a number of visits. She said it was one of the best burgers she's had in Houston. I have to agree. That's why I wanted to bring her. Staff is super friendly, and the prices are reasonable.

The burgers here are super fresh, classic, and just really delicious. The fries are crispy and tasty—a perfect side. The customer service is awesome. Everyone’s genuinely so nice and welcoming, which makes the experience even better.

Let me just start off by saying that the owners seem like genuinely great people and their customer service is terrific. The burgers were a classic burger. Nothing fancy or unusual. They were amazingly done and great taste. Unsweetened tea was great. Definitely will be back.

We found this restaurant randomly on Google and came because of the reviews. We were warmly greeted by Sam, the owner. We ended up getting a Mushroom Burger, Chili Burger and a BaconCheeseburger with Onions. Sam suggested that we get a single order of fries for the three of us to share and he said that he would give us half fries and half onion rings so we could try both. The rings were big and crispy and the burgers were huge! The fries were made in house from fresh potatoes so they weren’t as crispy as fast food fries. The dining room was decorated with vintage signs and it was exactly what I would expect from an old school texas burger joint. We will definitely be back!

I found this place by a search of burger spots near my work (off the Beltway) and this one had the best ratings and rightly so. The service was great, friendly people. Burger was very good, reminded me of a burger from DQ or Whataburger before they went corporate; bun was toasted and fixings were plentiful. Fries were very good too. Soda machine was a little wonky but it tasted okay. I highly recommend this spot for a good burger in a laidback atmosphere.

My boyfriend loves this place, he ordered the bacon burger with grilled onions and cleared his plate. I had the delicious blue cheese crumble burger. Enormous portion of fries when I got the combo. This spot is unassuming from the outside but the environment is friendly. It is counter service and the gentleman that took our order made sure that our adjustments were correct. Food came out in a timely manner. Highly recommend this place for a good burger, they also had some sandwich options that are a lighter choice.

The only time you see their signboard is when you're about to go under the Westpark driveway. Therefore, this place is almost impossible to stop by if you don't plan ahead of time. The outside doesn't seem like a burger place if the signboard didn't say so. However, the inside atmosphere is pretty good. The decorations make you feel like you are in 60s. The price is good for a meal and should cost you around $12 if you didn't order extra salad or onion rings. We ordered a Texas combo and a super combo. The burger is pretty large in size with lots of tomato and pickle slices. The combo meal is pretty satisfying and filled us up along with a big portion of fries. I would say this place is a little better than whataburger, the burger place I usually go to. Their onion rings look crunchy and tasty. I'll try it out next time.

Okay official ol'skool hamburger spot. The burgers were good, cheaper than most places. The only thing is, it's in a old building and not sure what the smell is or was that day but can be overwhelming if you are sensitive to not so fresh smell.

I stumbled upon this place as I was super hungry and really wanted a burger, and it was a pretty good one! The burger patty itself could use more seasoning, but the burger was soft and well cooked. Overall a pretty solid meal!

A decent hamburger place near my office. Nothing Fancy. Just good food. I got the double meat and think single meat would be sufficient for me. Definitely a good go to place for a burger.

I am betting I will get to come back and change this to a 5* review. There are MANY things I like about this place. It's been here since 1983. I ate here once in 1987. I have eaten a LOT of places, but few I remember after over 40 years. It's a low key, casual atmosphere. Prices are very reasonable. Some combos are less expensive than I have seen on fast food menu's, and i guarantee the food here is MUCH higher quality. I would rather support a long run local family establishment than a fast food chain any day. What I did not like. The hamburger buns were very sweet. Sweet enough I wonder if they are Hawaiian Sweet ones. Which a LOT of people love, I'm just not overly fond of. Next time I will ask if they have any bread alternatives, perhaps they have Texas Toast they could put it on for me, or I can stand to intake less carbs, I can always do a burger open faced or as a patty melt...but now the thought of it on Texas Toast is really appealing! I also did not like the fries. They were very greasy and floppy and flaccid. I rarely eat in and I often take fries home and reheat them in my air fryer. That gets grease off and can make them crispy. However, they were closing when I got here, so maybe the fries are not normally served this way. I chatted with a couple who came in after me. They told me the fish sandwich here is amazing, and it is on different bread so I may try that next time. They also said this place has the best onion rings. I don't eat onions, but that may be useful for someone. Overall I am happy and will return...in less than 40 years! Will update when I do. I am uploading a couple pictures. I am sure my burger looks boring to most, but they DO come with the veggies...I just don't like my salad ON my burger.

This place was nice. A little run down, but clean and peaceful. Food was pretty quick, took about 10 min to come out. Everything was cooked fresh to order. The meat patty left a little to be desired, but it was hot and fresh. The crispy bacon on my burger was excellent. Real Bacon, not microwaved. The hand cut fries were good, just add a little salt while they are hot. I will definitely go again.

Burger was very good but the fries are horrible. Seems to be more grease than potatoes

As soon as we walked in, the smell of old oil was overwhelming. We were not greeted. The service was bland. There was nobody else dining there, but we chose to order anyway. We had a basic cheeseburger meal and a double bacon jalapeño cheeseburger meal. The burger patties were juicy but completely flavorless. The fries were an absolute disgrace. They were obviously fried in old oil and they were not seasoned or salted at all. Majority of them were soggy and dark brown. The atmosphere is interesting. The place used to be a bar, which is obvious, as the deco and lighting are that of a bar. This establishment could definitely use a good deep cleaning. I'd hate to see what the food preparation and cooking area look like. In summary, I'm really disappointed that a place called The Burger Palace had such disappointing burgers and fries. For the almost $40 we spent, we could've gone to McDonald's and got better food.
