Upon entering the establishment for a brief meal, I opted for the cheeseburger and fries. The initial impression of the cheeseburger was its exceptional freshness, with well-served vegetables and a delectable meat flavor. The fries were freshly cut and appropriately seasoned. If you seek a quick and quality meal, I highly recommend this establishment. While the prices are slightly above average, I would not consider it a daily dining choice but rather a suitable option for a weekend meal.

Do you remember the old times when hamburgers came out and the cheese was melted all over the bacon and the hamburger patty and the lettuce and tomato were really fresh and the right color and the buns were all steamy and warm and the same size as the burger? Well if that is what you would like to taste again, this is the place you need to go! While visiting Houston, my husband and I pulled into a parking lot to look up restaurants in the area. After looking at all sorts of familiar names, we looked up and saw Southwell’s Hamburger sign in the strip mall parking lot we were parked in. We decided to give it a try and I’m so glad we did! We also had waffle fries and onion rings and both were delicious. The burgers are big and neither of us could finish ours. The atmosphere is cute and quaint and has the greatest framed pictures on the walls of Southwell family members in probably the 1960’s. They bring back lots of memories of what families were like back then. The pictures of the house and everyone working in the kitchen were like being at my grandmothers house again. The service was great as well, we were greeted by the cashier with a big smile who was eager to take our order and made us feel welcome! I immediately looked to see if they had a location in Dallas, but unfortunately they are just in Houston. When we come back to Houston, we will definitely make sure we include Southwell’s in our visit.

Most excellent burgers, fries and onion rings. Keep makin em like this and they’ll be in business another 40 years. The onion rings are crispy enough to break when you bite them and not chew on the onion.

The food was amazing and the service was friendly! I live 3 and a half hours away but I will definitely be back as soon as I can!

A solid spot for a satisfying burger fix. Menu offers a number of different burger options, including the ability to swap out the patty for a vegetarian patty. The only complaint I have is that the burger and fries were pretty greasy compared up other burger places that I’ve been to.

Wanted to love it, but this burger is very average. The patties were cooked right and the cheese was very melty. (You’d be surprised how many burgers places can’t get that right) But the actual flavor of the burger is not good. It’s not a frozen flavor, but it also didn’t taste fresh. Apologies for not being able to be more descriptive, but there is something just “off” about the flavor. Service was friendly and the restaurant was clean.

My son swore up and down he’d taken me here before, I would have ‘membered a place this good. We fell off our keto diet today and it was worth it. We did split a double meat burger with blue cheese and an egg, yum! It was downhill after that. We enjoyed their amazing waffle fries and onion rings…..we left quite a few of each which made us feel virtuous and that was really hard to do. A couple iced teas hit the spot. This is an old school burger place and i’m guessing most people know about them ’cause there’s four locations. We’ll be back.

Great lunch spot. Despite being fairly busy the service is fast and the burger and fries are fantastic.

I was really tired otherwise I won’t be stepping in in this place. I visited one of their chain on some Felippe . I mean, I was satisfied they honored the deal they had and a coupon. Basically buy one and get the other one free buy the meal And get the burger along for free so this place on Holcombe is very horrible the staff they don’t even understand no English no Spanish they just standing there at the entrance watching the audience and talking and gossiping so I keep asking for the day they say oh no, we don’t have no days and you get no nice answers or treatment so I had to order everything single the burger bites itself does ugly french fries they be refried saggy with grease I would never step again on this place everything was cold Horrible experience and I don’t know if they really I shouldn’t be eating there because those people just with this nasty look nasty no gloves wearing and working we just get over the pandemic they should have taken that under consideration, but the health department is not going there no more I have no idea

Got the old fashion. Meat had no flavor, and it looked like it was the frozen kind. Fries not so good either. The ketchup and side of jalapeños had all the flavor. I asked for extra lettuce, and that’s all I got. Maybe I need to order something else next time. ♀️
