My husband & I have been to Bubba's so many times & really like the buffalo burgers & cold beer. We are always hearing about their brunch & decided to try it this past Sunday (8/...

Best Burgers in Houston Period 3/12/2008

If you gave this less than 5 stars your a moron and know nothing of what a good burger consist of. This place is a diamond in the rough. I highly recomend the buffalo burgers. They also have a great assortment of drinks you won't find at most places. So what if there are no fries they give you some better options and the place does not have that commercialized burger and fries factory feel that dooms most burger joints. The staff is polite and friendly. A true Texas landmark. Pros: Buffalo as a choice of meat more

Great burger 9/12/2005

I had passed by this place a million times and never stopped. A friend moved in nearby and told me the Buffalo burgers were great. So we went there. I was a little surprised at just how unconventional the place looked. I was more surprised by them nto having a deep fryer to make fries. The burger was great. The potato salad was great. The best thing about the place is the service. The guys behind the counter treat you so nicely. You can tell they are just overall nice people. Someone earlier said it was not worth the money. That is not true. A burger costs a bit more than 3 bucks. A buffalo burger is 4. S you spend 50 cents more than you would at Jack in the Box, big deal. The place is worth it. Pros: Buffalo Meat, Service, Potato Salad Cons: Cleanliness is suspec, no fries more

good but not for the price 6/24/2005

it was a good hamburger, very greasy and meat a little over cooked but not bad, also NOT great, especially for the price you would think it was gourmet by how much they charge, and how the hell can you have burgers with out fries!!!??? the one thing i did love was their jalapeno potato salad, excellent Pros: potato salad Cons: no fries, price more

yum 5/25/2005

Okay, I will admit we were a little freaked out when Grandpa pulled up to this place that got such a wonderful review in the newspaper, oh the greatest burger in town, to find pretty much- a shack. Once inside and the food coming we were all eased and the food was wonderful... no fries though! Grandpa takes up for them ""There's not room in there to cook fries!!"". Either way, the burger makes up for it, I didn't have a buffalo burger, but Grandpa and Grandma said they were excellent. A very great place with quite a personal atmosphere more

Great burgers and atmosphere. 5/24/2005

Yes this is a romantic location for those that appreciate life to it's fullest. You gotta have a good love of life to see the romance of the place. I had one of my best dates ever at Bubba's. No I would not say it's good for children. People don't watch their kids and it's close to dangerous traffic. At any moment someone could run off the road. And the building is cramped...ok for kids if the food is take out. more

The Ultimate Hole-in-the-Wall 5/11/2005

No doubt the best burgers in town. It may look a little scary when you drive by it but that is the draw for this Westpark landmark. The service is friendly, the food is made when you order it and the beer is cheap. The Double Buffalo Cheeseburger is to die for. more

Bubba's Buffalo Burgers are Best ! 5/6/2005

Bubba's has been serving ""Buffalo"" (100% American Bison) longer than anywhere else in Houston... and it shows by the top quality of their buffalo burgers, chili, etc. Bubba's history defines it as a true ""Texas-Icehouse"" and it's friendly, down-home atmosphere reflects that. Despite it's small size, Bubba's has a vast selection of soft-drink refreshments and the list of beers they offer include most of those brewed by a local Houston micro-brewery named after a 6th-century patron Saint of brewers, named Arnold (but I can't tell you the name ... hint, hint). In fact, Bubba's sells more of this brewery's beer by the bottle than anywhere else (according to the brewer)... and they sell it at the lowest price you'll find anywhere. Only a customer ... I live about 40 minutes away ... but I eat at Bubba's regularly... and help keep their bushes sculpted to look like buffalo! Totally cosmic! Pros: Delicious food, Good selections, Friendly atmosphere more

Makes you feel at home 6/15/2003

These are definitely some of the best burgers in Houston, in a no frills, come as you are, have a beer and kick back type atmosphere. As far as ambience goes, it's not very romantic, but it's perfect for a burger place, because burgers are meant to be enjoyed in a relaxed atmosphere. And yes the buffalo burgers are very tasty. Pros: Inexpensive, Friendly Staff Cons: Gravel Parking Lot more

Bacon Cheese Buffalo Burger! 3/14/2003

Throw on those tattered jeans, your favorite t-shirt and flip-flops, and head down to Bubbas on a sunny afternoon. Nothing can top an ice-cold beer, their bacon cheese buffalo burger and jalapeno potato salad, while sitting on their patio. This rickety, converted ice-house, and Bubbas crusty but friendly demeanor only adds to the experience. The current 610/59 construction makes getting into Bubbas parking lot difficult, but the smile on your face when you leave makes the effort worth while. Pros: casual atmosphere, juicy buffalo burgers, cheap Cons: highway construction more

American Institution 12/30/2002

I don't know how much longer this institution and mainstay of the American landscape will escape the onslaught of Houston expansion and freeway construction. However, while it lasts enjoy a burger done right on the front porch. more

Buffalo is on the menu! 9/9/2002

Buffalo is on the menu! Fries are not an option. Bubba Melt and the Buffalo cheese burger are a must!! Buffalo chili is also very tasty. I preferred the Bubba Melt on white or wheat, no jalapenos. Also a must are the hot -n- sweet homemade pickles...delicious alone - even better on a burger. Also serve buffalo steaks Bubba's gets my vote for the best burger shack in Houston. Pros: Oustanding food, Great prices, Relaxed atmosphere Cons: construction more
