    Not impressed at all. The parking lot is very small. Almost full, went inside and at least 8 empty tables. Around 4pm on a Saturday. Ordered food, sat down, took over 10 minutes for someone to come to our table and check our ticket. Took a while just to get our drinks. Food came out before appetizer, which was at least another 10 minutes. A gentleman came over to let us know since food came out first he would comp appetizer, which was nice because we had not even said anything to anyone. Only 1 refill of drinks the entire time, sat empty for a while. The burger was not special, the fries were not that good. We will continue to try new burger places & continue to go to Fuddruckers when we just want a burger as well. Better quality, better service. No reason to return to Pappa’s Burger.

    Went with a group of 5 on Sunday Dec 28 between 3-4p. It was crowded but not slammed. We were seated right away after ordering. We all had burgers(of course!) and various drinks (tea, soda, & yummy Butterfinger shakes). Our waiter was Excellent. He kept checking on us without being pesky. The food and drinks came out correctly cooked and served. Several of us asked for ToGo containers and they were brought promptly. Even though it was busy, we were not hurried out. We sat and talked for a bit after eating. Always good food and service!

    Papa’s Burgers on Westerner Street is a solid Houston classic that delivers exactly what you expect from a neighborhood burger joint. The burgers are juicy, flavorful, and cooked fresh, with that old-school grill taste that keeps people coming back. The menu keeps things simple and satisfying, focusing on doing the basics really well. Service is friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere feels casual and local—no frills, just good food and a comfortable vibe. It’s the kind of place you can rely on when you’re in the mood for a straightforward, well-made burger.

    Es la típica hamburguesería americana que te imaginas cuando viajas a Estados Unidos. Recomendados todos los restaurantes de la cadena PAPAS. El ambiente es muy bueno y el estilo del local, tal y como se espera, muy americano. La comida está muy buena y el precio, bastante bien. Recomiendo al 100 % ir a comer aquí. Mientras estuve en Houston fui varias veces y en una de ellas tuve un percance: un camarero me derramó la bebida encima (un error lo puede tener cualquiera) y nos invitaron a la cena.

    I used to frequent Pappas Burgers 15-20 years ago and somehow lost touch with them, but after having lunch there earlier this week, I can confidently say it's just as good as I remembered. Big, juicy burgers paired with fresh cut fries and crispy onion rings. Simple, classic, and done right. This visit was a great reminder of why they were a favorite back then. I'll definitely be adding Pappas Burgers back until the rotation the next time I'm craving a really good burger.
