We tried the new location on Gessner. We were sadly disappointed in the food. We got classic smash burgers and they had very small patties. The bun to meat ratio was definitely wrong, especially for an $11 burger. In fact the kids meal hamburger was significantly bigger than smash burger and it came with a side. I’m not sure if this is a new restaurant working through their issues or if this is the final product. The staff seemed disinterested to help and when my wife asked where the restroom was a staff member just said “over there and” scurried off. They failed to mention that “over there” is actually outside. Over all the food tasted good. Hope they can figure out the food because the patio is great. Also- the parking lot is going to be a problem once taco stand opens. The spots are striped incredibly narrow.

If you’re a fan of the Montrose original, you can breathe a sigh of relief. The new Memorial City location captures that same magic without missing a beat.
The Highlights
The Classic Burger: We added bacon, and it was perfection—perfectly seared, juicy, and exactly the quality we’ve come to expect.
Onion Rings: These are a must-order. They’re crispy, structural, and paired with their chipotle mayo, they are easily the best side on the menu.
The Verdict
The vibe is a bit more polished than the Montrose patio, but the soul of the food is identical. It’s officially our new favorite neighborhood spot.

Overall had a great experience and friendly staff welcomed me and my dog out in the patio area. Parking can be tricky depending on the time, I assume once the taco stands opens it’s going to be extremely hard to park during peak hours. Food was very good, and the sweet potato fries were yummy! The portion of the fries could be split between 2-3 people.
It is on the louder side since it’s on a busy intersection and the music is loud indoors.

Hands down the BEST burger spot in all of Houston / H-Town
If you’re looking for a juicy, flavorful, perfectly cooked burger, this is the place. Every bite hits — fresh ingredients, seasoned right, and cooked exactly how a real burger should be. You can tell they don’t cut corners.
The atmosphere is next level too — the outdoor seating gives you those perfect patio vibes, and with the heaters on during this nippy weather, it’s the ideal spot to kick back, relax, and enjoy your meal comfortably. Whether you’re with family, friends, or just grabbing a quick bite, the vibe is on point.
Top-tier burgers, great service, awesome outdoor setup — 10/10 experience.
If you’re in Houston and craving a burger, don’t even think twice — this is THE spot.

I went there on the first day and it was amazing. The beer selection is legit and the staff is very friendly. I sat at the bar and had a great time. Highly recommended.

Thumbs up !
I called ahead of time and talked to a manager. I asked them if the burgers were hot and juicy and full of flavor and he said yes I guarantee it. Most of the time this is not the case.
I like this location best. I was surprised the hamburger was good with really just being an open a few days. I got the Mexi burger with ranch, grilled onions, pepper jack cheese, egg, mushrooms, etc. The burger came out hot and juicy and full of flavor. The bun was good as well.

I rarely, if ever, leave reviews but I feel compelled to leave one now. I’ve been to the Heights and Montrose locations before and have been waiting for this location to open since the sign has been up since it is down the street from my house. I think most of the negative reviews are from people that either: have never worked in the service industry in their life, or have little to no patience and no understanding of what it takes to run and open a brand new business/location. There are going to be kinks that need smoothing over with a new business; with that being said, my experience was lovely and positive and I did not experience many issues listed in other reviews.
The layout of the location is really nice and I actually prefer it to the other locations I’ve been to. They have a nice entryway, menus accesible on both sides, bathrooms outside. They have more inside seating compared to the other locations I mentioned, which I like, while still having ample patio space with different kinds of seating.
The staff was kind in a way that felt authentic without being performative. There was one employee that went out of her way to make sure that I got my card that would get punched for every purchased after I didn’t receive it. The aforementioned employee, as well as one other, must have heard my mother and I conversing in Spanish because they also spoke to us in Spanish, which made me feel comfortable and at home. I wish I had caught their names!
The food, as I expected, was great, I ordered the Opa burger and it arrived hot and flavorful; I highly recommend getting it. I got sweet potato fries and they’re obviously high quality; you get a large amount and the sweet potato really shines through, along with a more savory taste. My only complaint about my entire experience is that my mother ordered her patty well done and it was quite pink in the middle. However, neither her nor I considered it a big deal and didn’t bring it up to staff and it is forgivable and something I am definitely willing to look past considering the recent opening. I ordered my patty medium and the one I got was pretty well cooked, so it’s possible the patties were switched by accident or some other mistake.
Overall, I really recommend coming here and really want to see this location grow and succeed as my family and I will be coming here monthly.

Food: 4/5
Service: 5/5
Cleanliness/Atmosphere: 5/5
Safety: 1/5
The food was good, and the service and atmosphere were excellent. The staff was friendly, and the restaurant itself was clean and welcoming.
Unfortunately, my car was broken into in the parking lot. The lot is well lit, but lighting alone clearly isn’t enough. There was a car with three boys sitting inside that had been parked there for a while before we arrived. They saw us walk into the restaurant and broke into our car about 10 minutes later.
If you want guests to feel safe and relaxed, I strongly recommend monitoring the parking lot and installing additional cameras. Safety should match the quality of the dining experience.

First time to try The Burger Joint, and it think the Gessner location opened not long ago. REALLY enjoyed the burger; tasty and good size. Two minor suggestions, non food related. First, it looks like your parking lot is a shared lot with the Taco Stand next door (I assume Taco Stand and Burger Joint are affiliated? Both names were on my drink cup). Well, i think it needs better signage as everyone was cramming into the parking spaces behind your side. Second, the music inside was so loud that we (and other customers) had trouble hearing what the staff members taking our order were saying. That’s not good if you have a long waiting line. But, overall, a great place for a burger.

Positives: Food, atmosphere, and service was fantastic!
Negatives: Fresh food comes with a decent wait time so don’t come in a rush! The milk shakes are picture perfect but terrible! They look so good but they taste like you’re drinking straight up semi-cold foam! Not worth the price at all!
