Best

Don't expect fast service ... that said... this is the best burger in town. Eating a Soldier Burger with an extra egg and bacon is the way I want to die.

Worst

We first tried this legendary place a few weeks after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives aired the segment filmed here, and the line was far too long to wait for a burger. So we went to...

Just like coming home 5/18/2004

I've been going to the Lankford for about five years now. Lankford is just like coming home. They have great specials, great menu items and a staff that welcomes you like family. If you want to truly experience Lankford, sit at the counter. Jimmy will take care of you and watch over you like you were one of his own. The conversation is free and the service is pretty spiffy too. Sure, the burgers are amazing - the best I've ever tasted. But do yourself a favor and come for breakfast. The Biscuits and Gravy (Saturday only) are exceptional (omelettes too!). The enchiladas & homemade soup are a real treat. Finally, end your meal with some of the homemade peach cobbler with a big scoop of ice cream. If you miss a simpler time, great food, good value, and down-home people, do yourself a favor and experience Lankford. Pros: Great food, Inexpensive, Homemade food! Cons: , Crowded during rush, Hard to find more

Thank you City Search 3/18/2004

I've lived in the 'hood near Lankford's for 20 years, but I never tasted it's fabulous cheeseburgers until I subscribed to City Search. What a fool I was...the best burger in the world just a few blocks from my house. I have one word of advice for you--if you try to keep your weight down--plan out your trip to Lankford's. You'll want to enjoy the huge burger and fries without guilt! Nothing to spoil the sheer pleasure of their food. Pros: giant burger, mouth-watering good, unpretentious more

Unique dining experience 3/10/2004

The food was mouth watering, not only my burger and the rest of the orders at our table, but everything that the excellent wait staff carried by was greeted with a ""wow that looks or smells great"" or ""that's what I'm having next time"". This is not for the froofy, no adventerous eaters, they might trip on the uneven floor, but if our want a great meal Lankford's is great!!! Pros: Great Food, Attentive Staff, Character Cons: , A bit hard to find more

Legal field 7/23/2003

My receptionist introduced me to Lankfords last year and I go back as often as possible for lunch. I absolutely crave the burgers. And the daily specials are truly special. The mac and cheese is the best. It's not the best location....but really, how convenient is it to try to drive down in the galleria area. I'll take the hood any day. The service is wonderful, the servers are charming. And Jimmie is just a darling. Wish they were open more hours---I'd drive back into town from Galveston to bring the kids. Pros: food, affordable, atmosphere Cons: crowded more

Nothing beats a greasy burger 1/17/2003

I don't eat too many burgers, but this place makes the best in town. They've got just the right amounts of condiments, grease, and griddle flavor. I especially like them after sleeping in on Sundays. Try their daily specials too--I've never been disappointed. Pros: Cheap, Friendly, Very laid back Cons: parking more

Heaven: Burger & Shiner 1/1/2003

Hot fries, juicy hamburger and ice cold shiner, that's what I'm talking about! I headed to this hole-in-the-wall after reading about it on this site and wasn't disappointed. Really quite a good hamburger and within easy access from downtown. The place is a real joint complete with garage doors so don't expect the ambiance of a fine restaurant. Great hangout for a drink and conversation. Pros: prompt service, hot food, inexpensive more

Eat where the cops and painters eat 9/3/2002

I lived in the Montrose for years and this was easily my favorite breakfast place. Just sneak over the line into the Ward and you're in for one of Houston's undiscovered treats. Breakfast is great--I've never made it for lunch--and always felt like I was sitting in mom's kitchen. Pros: Serve your own Coffee, Breakfast is $4 Cons: in the Hood more

fabulous find 8/10/2002

Try this unique find for a fun and delicious meal. Locals rub elbows with movers and shakers...all are equal here and come with a single mission: scarfing up the best burger in town. They are made to order, big and messy. Good daily specials also. Stop by and say ""Hi"" to Edie and crew. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT ever mention bowling. You're in dangerous territory! Pros: great burgers, ambiance, people watching Cons: parking more
