good but not #1 3/13/2006

There are so many more better hamburger places. I don't understand why this was voted the best. it's good but not great. It should be #5 or #6. more

OVER RATED 1/24/2006

I have had tons of burgers and quite frankly this one does not make the top 50. I have tried 3 different burgers here on different visists only to find each bland and uninspiring. For the moeny most restaurants can compete and offer more flavorful meat and vegetables choices. please spend your money elsewhere! more

TRULY WONDERFUL! 8/24/2005

Princes is not only famous for their food but also their generosity. Princes was kind enough to donated 40 of their famous milkshakes to the MDA/ALS Clinic. I can't express how much this meant to all the patients seen at clinic that day. So if you are reading this please go to Prince's because they really care about people and their community. Besides the food and shakes are GREAT! more

The BEST, it beats all hamburger places 8/19/2005

I think it's just the best. I went to this restaurant according to all the good reviews I read here, and all I have to say is that is the best when it comes to burgers. The price is very affordable, good service, orders are fast, and food is so good. I definately recommend the shakes...mmm they are good. In a week I have been there twice. Great stuff! Pros: Excellent Food, Cheap Price , Excellent Service Cons: NO CONS!!!, Very clean area more

As good as I remember 7/21/2005

As a kid my mother used to take us to Princess drive in to eat these burgers. This was and still the standard to meet for burgers in my family. All the others are copycat. There is a place in El Paso called Roscoe's but it is still a step or two below this restaurant. The popy seed buns are the etched in my memory. This is not just nostalgia, the burgers here are the best and can hold a candle to any in the country. Enjoy. more

Stop wasting time and money looking for a good burger. At Princes you get the real McCoy. The best of the best, the most authentic. I used to own the best burger joint in town, I sold it, and now for an awesome burger I come to Princes. The manager, Stiles, really knows his business, and thanks to him this palce is rocking. Best burger in town. Meaty, fresh, tasty, juicy, I'm drewling as I write. A+++ Cynthia. Pros: fun atmosphere, cheap food, friendly staff Cons: , large & spacious, free parking more

A classic 4/20/2004

Princes on the 59 Fwy. is truly an icon. I used to own a burger joint and made my burgers exactly the way Princes make theirs. I bought my restaurant from the now manager of Princes. No wonder is it so great. Styles is excellent at what he does; because of him the place is a success. The burgers are the real old fashioned mccoy. The best, the juiciest and the tastiest. the onion rings are a sure winner and the atmosphere is A+++. I refuse to eat a burger anywhere else. Pros: fantastic food, great atmosphere, good management more

Prince's 7/21/2003

I have visited Prince's on I-10 and the SW Freeway each time I visit Houston. The Hamburgers are one of the best for the money. The Shrimp is not matched anywhere. The setting brings back memories and the service is tops. Great place for the family Pros: Ambience, Tasty food, Economic more

not a bad burger 5/25/2003

To me Prince's burgers taste like burgers from other chains like Fuddruckers or Houstons. I like their root beer alot though! more

Flawless 2/11/2003

Price's Hamburgers is probably the best burgers I have ever tasted in my life! The Original is unbeattable and the hand-made onion rings are the best in the country, without a doubt. The service is good and the atmosphere is family friendly. There is a deep Houston history & tradition. Fudruckers and Beck's Prime don't stand a chance. Their homemade rootbeer is even better then it sounds. Thanks Prince's for a meal worth a 1000 words, the only restaurant worth going to. Pros: Worth the $, Best Hamburger, Best Fries/Onion Ring more

hmm, hmm, good 2/3/2003

Just get the Original, some onion rings, a chocolate shake, and take the rest of the day off - b/c after that lunch you'll be feeling so good you won't want to go back to work. I went with a group last week and everyone really enjoyed it. It was our first time - we used to go to this other burger place - but we'll be coming back often now. This is a real ""Houston"" place - and we got that feeling from the moment we walked in the door. Pros: great food, served fresh and hot, terrific value Cons: crowded for lunch more

don't get the hype 12/30/2002

Went to Prince's based on 8+ rating on citysearch. Food was not bad, but not good either. A 5, or average, at best. Had burgers, onion rings and fries - nothing special about any of these items. Burger not cooked to order. Not worth special trip. Pros: none - just average more
