The Burger Palace & Smokehouse

After meeting the Owner at a local networking event, I decided to stop in and check out the hamburgers she was telling me were the best in Houston. 100% Kobe Beef hamburgers was advertised on the menu and they were absolutely to die for! Moist and flavorful with just the right garnishments made this the best burger I have ever eaten, bar none! You have to check this place out! more

They have the best burgers and fries in the city! Their fries are completely addictive. And their burgers are just cooked right. Their burgers are made of American kobe beef, which is the best meat in the market. The taste is just amazing! I’ve been coming to this place at least 3 times a month. I highly recommend it. more

I live within walking distance, tonight I decided to check this place out and get a burger and fries takeout Well, the swiss bleu burger was great ($10.95) I ordered a side of fries, they cost $4.95...!!!!!!!!!!!! When I asked the dude why they were so much his reply was because they had spinkled parmesan on them? I mean c'mon they gotta be the most expensive fries I ever ate, and there was only a handful and they really werent that good These guys need to fix that before they lose more customers!!! TIP: dont get the fries, go to wattaburger if you want fries :-) more

My wife and I sat down for a nice dinner. We started out with falafel and it was the first time either one of us had ever had it. It was great and now we're a falafel fan. The burgers were juicy and the fries were crunchy like crinkle fries. The chef came out and introduced himself to us. I asked how did they get the fries so crunchy and he said they fry them in peanut oil. Very friendly staff and great service. The food was awesome and we will be back! more

I tried this place the other day and was questioning the place after I read some reviews but my friend told me about and he said i just had to try it despite some of the bad reviews. So I decided to come in during lunch. As soon as I walked in the first thing I noticed was the warm inviting decor. And then I was greeted by an enthusiastic server. I ordered the Down Under just because it seemed like an explosion of flavor with the pineapple, fried egg, and beets. I also got the french fries tossed with rosemary and parmesan. It took about 10 min to get my order so not too long at all. When I got my burger all I could think was this burger is HUGE. The french fries came with this roasted red pepper aioli and I could never get enough of the aioli it was delish. The burger was OUTSTANDING it just blew my mind with the explosion of flavor. The service was always prompt and on the ball. Big Kudos to this place. The American Kobe beef makes a huge difference and lets just say that I will be back again. Big Kudos to this place. more

i went in to the Burger Palace on the 17 on September the place was spotless. I don't know about you but that is the first thing I look at in a new place I eat is the floor and the decor. Everything looked really nice. Plus they this new tech-o type of music that quit pleasant not to load. I had the Kabob chicken wrap It was superb. It came with hummus and Pita. Fabulous the severs were right on time with every thing. I could not have asked for better service. My waiter was very attentive and there to answer any question. All in all A very good experience. more

YUM YUUUUUM!!!! This burger was huge and cooked just the way we wanted it. I shared it with a friend; there's no way I could eat a whole one myself. The flavors were awesome; the staff is friendly and welcoming. What a great dining experience!! We also had the parmesan/rosemary french fries. Talk about addictive! Next time you are in the Galleria area, definitely check out the Burger Palace. And if you don't care for burgers they have some gorgeous salads and sides to suit other tastes. more

OMG!!! There were 2 other tables occupied when our party of 4 walked in for lunch. We received water and shakes rather quickly. After 35 minutes of waiting, we finally received our fries -- who wants to eat the fries w/o the burger. By the way, we ordered the parmesan & rose mary fries. These were regular orida fries w/grated parmesan and 2 shakes of rosemary for $5! After 45 minutes of waiting, the waiter dropped one order on the floor, and delivered 2 of 4 -- so two of us have no food. the guy at the table next to us returned his meal b/c the chicken was not DONE! as i looked around, about half of the people who arrived after us were EATING! HELLO!!!!! I still had not received my burger. we asked for ketchup, and finally after 10 minutes, I just went and retrieved the ketchup from the back. After we spoke w/the manager, she offered the remaining 2 meals to go. No thanks, you still have to COOK THEM!!!!! I have to get back to work! They were not even ready to be boxed up to go. Needless to say, they gave us coupons for the free shakes we ordered and she still tried to give us a bill for $40 -- GTFOHWTBS! So we ended up paying for the 2 burgers they did deliver and 1 order of fries that was eaten -- and that was far too much!!! then she had the audacity to ask me what building did we work in -- ""WHY?? WE WON'T BE BACK!!!"" I had to stop at Whataburger on the way back to work! more

We went for dinner last night - there were only 3-4 other tables occupied, with a manager and waitstaff. We had to ask for the drinks and menu. I was noticing how painfully slow it was for the other customers to get service. The waiter was nice, but could not focus on getting out items timely. The manager did not do anything to help with the slow service. Burgers were ok, nothing outstanding. Would eat there again but for take out and build in at least a 1/2 hour cushion for pick up. more

We arrived for lunch and were seated immediately. We placed our order, and then . . . . . . nothing. After 20 minutes we flagged down the waiter and begged for our drinks. 3 of 4 finally arrived. We flagged him down again for the 4th drink. No refills. Glasses empty. The burgers finally arrived, but without the coleslaw which came as part of the lunch special. The cook had not been informed to make it. In addition, the fries showed up long after the burgers were gone and one of our party had left because he had to go to work. The place stayed relatively full but there was no line. I asked if some of the waitstaff was missing that day, but it seems that the one waiter and the manager is all there is. The food was relatively good (not outstanding, but good). The staff, although very friendly, was completely overwhelmed. They seemed so harried that we were shy to ask for anything, even water and drink refills that were never offered. We'll go back in a month to see if the service improves. more
