The Burger Palace & Smokehouse

Went here right after getting my hair done at the salon next door (which I also recommend you go to). I got the Bella burger. It had mozarella, spinach, garlic aioli, and something else... you should definitely check out the menu. But anyway, every bite was juicy and savory. I also had the truffle fries and they were pretty awesome as well. And not only was my order delicous, it was cute too, haha. The burger looks JUST like its silhouetted logo. I recommend you go and try one. They've got some creative food items on their menu. more

The burgers here, made with Akashi beef, are delicious. It's not counter service, it's table Svc so expect to pay about $11-12/ burger more

I found this place via a Groupon a while ago when I lived near the Galleria. Was totally thrilled with how good the Kobe beef burger was! And the sweet potato fries, and the Parmesan fries... WOW!! I have since moved to Spring, but still drive to the Galleria area specifically for this burger because it is better than anything I have had anywhere. Have tried several different ones... every one good!! more

The best burger in Houston. I work nearby, so we go a lot! Kobe beef, cooked to order, and sweet potatoe fries. What more could you ask for? The only suggestion I have is to order it well done. It will be more like medium. They tend to cook on the rare side of things. I love their burgers tho, and I would eat one everyday if I could! more

This burger place was just around the corner from the hotel we were staying at, and we just happened to walk by it, as the signage wasn't all that noticeable (due to city regulations we found out). My husband and I both agree these were the best burgers we have had. Before I leave Houston, we'll be back again. And I know this will be a must place to back to on return visits to the fine state of Texas, and the even finer city of Houston. more

First of all, before the reviewer who claims fries are five bucks, theyre $2.95, and I think they're the best in houston and more than one normal person can eat. there is a version with rosemary and parmesan cheese that might be $4.95. Great burger with great sauces, and an amazing selection of beers. The place is tough to find, the last space in the strip center where Sage Sushi is located, on the side of the Subzero/Wolf store. more

WOW!! I live near this place but never went in and tried it. I discovered it using an app on my phone and I am now kicking myself for not trying it a long time ago. I had never tried a kobe beef burger before now. This was BY FAR the best burger I have ever eaten. The beef was cooked perfectly and, unlike alot of other places, the bun was soft and yet still sturdy enough to hold everything together without making a mess. The price was a little more than I expected, but the quality made me quickly forget about that. I had the Texas cheesburger (9.95) and a side of fries (2.95). The fries were mediocre when compared to the burger, but they were still good. Next time I think I will try the sweet potato fries. The atmosphere is very trendy and the decor was modern and kinda reminded me of a nice little lounge, but without the sofa's and plush seating. The service was spectacular and after I finished my meal, I honestly wanted to hug it out with the "artist" that made it. Stop looking for another burger joint and try this place!!!! more

We went to the Burger Palace based on a recommendation from the concierge from our hotel (Homewood Suites). Despite the poor signage on the outside, the inside is trendy and comfortable. Our server was very friendly and we were seated in minutes upon arrival. We were eating at 2:00, the restaurant was about half full and the service was perfect. I saw where other posters had slow service... It appears that was addressed. We ordered the Texas Cheeseburger and the Napa Valley burgers with Sweet Potato fries. The food arrived on nice plates, nice presentation and fresh. OH MY GOSH.... the first bite of this burger was absolutely amazing! The bread was incredible and the meat literally melted in my mouth (ordered medium). The fries were ""to die for"" and served in a separate dish... crispy, sea salt... YUM!!! I consider myself pretty well experienced in burgers having had burgers all the way from East Texas to San Diego with plenty in between. This burger was the best I have ever tasted... I was surprised and did not expect it based on the Asian influence. I figured only good ole Texas joints would have the best burgers... I am wrong. This burger was the best. They use Akaushi beef (which I had never heard of) and it was amazing!!! We came up with a more descriptive name -- ButterMeat. Named for the fact that it melts in your mouth like butter. Funny thing, the meat is actually VERY healthy and lacks the bad fat of butter. If you enjoy burgers.. I highly recommend giving Burger Palace a try. You will walk away amazed at how good the burgers are. I live 3 hours away and can't wait to eat here again on my next visit to Houston. more

My husband and I have eaten burgers from Anchorage, Alaska all the way down to Crystal Beach, Texas. We both agreed...these are the best burgers we've had so far! ANYWHERE! The burgers are huge and after I got about halfway through mine (Napa Valley) I started feeling a little stuffed. The meat is so fresh and flavorful I found myself pulling the meat out of the burger to finish it off before I got too full. My husband had no trouble finishing his (Swiss Bacon Blue) as he is a true burger professional; he moaned all the way through the burger and I could tell he was hoping he'd never reach that last bite. We also shared sweet potato fries and opted to try two of the more unique shakes, roasted pineapple and toasted almond. The shakes were absolute heaven!! We both agreed as we walked out the door that we couldn't wait to come back. more

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
