When you step into a restaurant and see a long line of people patiently waiting to be seated, you know there’s something there you don’t want to miss out on.
That’s the case with Grub Burger.
This upscale burger restaurant bakes their own bread from scratch, every hour and grinds their signature brisket and chuck blend every morning. If you’re looking for burgers with punch, your search stops here.
I’m glad this place was on our list of must-trys, during the recent #GoHouston trip organized by New Creative Writing and Social Media Marketing!
The menu can be intimidating (so many great choices, so little time, only 1 stomach to feed!) but your server should be able to give you some great recommendations.
Our family decided to order three very different burgers. Hubs ordered the loaded Texas Luau (Topped with braised pulled pork, a grilled pineapple slice, grilled jalapeños, teriyaki & BBQ sauce.) while Dottie and Little Man split a Greek To Me. (100% chicken breast, ground in house, olive crusted, topped with feta cheese, lemon caper vinaigrette with arugula, tomato, and fresh tzatziki.)
I decided to go for a Hippie Chickpea upon recommendation from the manager and one bite took me back to my childhood. With strong Mediterranean flavors, I couldn’t have made a better choice myself! (Meatless ground chickpea & eggplant burger with roasted red pepper mayo, arugula, red onions, goat cheese and tabbouleh served on a wheat bun)
I have to add here that the only way you can eat at Grub Burger is with your mouth wide open. Their burgers are stacked high (really high!) and packed with fresh ingredients. And yes, though the Grub Skinny Fries are popular, we loved the Shiner Bock, hand battered Onion Rings better.
Oh and their handspun milk shakes are a must!
My recommendation would be to be brave and try the Kitchen Sink. While all 4 milkshakes ordered were delish (and ever-so-filling!) the unique marriage of ingredients in the Kitchen Sink was my overall favorite. It has practically everything in there- Pretzels, Peanut Butter, Salt, Butterscotch Sauce, Caramel Sauce, Chocolate Chips, Coffee Grounds, and Potato Chips- and honestly that list can be a little intimidating but I promise, 1 sip is all that’s needed to have you going back from yet another sip!!
Overall, the experience was great. The ambiance was definitely welcoming to families with young kids and dependent on whether you sit outside or inside, it can make a great date night choice too.
Price-wise the burgers aren’t what I would consider expensive considering what goes into it but yes, these aren’t your regular burgers. They’re classier!

Those burgers look fantastic, and the shakes do, too! If we’re ever in Houston, I’ll be sure we stop in.
I love a good burger, and these look epic. Those shakes look pretty amazing, too. Yum!
That looks absolutely delicious. I love me a great burger.
I love a good burger and so does the rest of the family. This looks like a delicious place to eat.
Nothing beats a good burger – well except for a killer shake! My BIL & SIL live in Houston I”ll have to ask them about this place. And make it a must the next time we visit them.
The burgers and shakes look scrumptious. Thanks for the update on Grub Burger. I checked their site and they are going East (GA and PA, to name a few states), not West. I guess I’d better put Houston on my list.
These sounds like a great restaurant. I love a good burger and shake.
I think I’d have to try the chickpea burger too! This would be an awesome place for my daughter and I to check out since it has vegetarian options.
No, I have not but this looks like a place I need to be. The burgers look delicious.
That does look like a classy burger! I love your chickpea choice, something I would love to try
I like flavors of the Mediterranean so I think I would really enjoy this burger. That Salted Caramel milkshake sounds so good right now.
This restaurant sounds exquisite and looks to have an ideal option for everyone. I never turn down a good burger and those shakes have my mouth watering!
You are right about a long line! That is a good sign. The food looks amazing!
Either I need to visit Houston more often, or there’s just new places popping up. I’m sad actually I haven’t been to Houston in about a year.
Oooo, I live in Houston! I need to check this out. I am thinking this weekend is a good time
I’m a carnivore through and through but when I see chickpea or falafel burgers on menus I have to try them. That looks delicious!!
There’s a Grub Burger within walking distance of my house in Atlanta. We loved it when we went for date night. The place was packed!
I haven’t been to Grub Burger yet, but the quality that goes into them has me thinking that needs to change ASAP. I’d probably go for date night since I could desperately use one!
I haven’t but based on these pictures, I need to get there asap. That food looks amazing.
This food looks so delicious. I will have to check them out if i am ever in the area. I love trying new places to eat.
Looks like some good eating to me. I’d love to take my daughter. She’s a burger nut!
This place sounds awesome. I’d love to try the chickpea and eggplant option. Yummy!
Those burgers look amazing – that Greek to Me burger would be my choice out of those three you mentioned!
Those burgers look AMAZING! I will put this spot on my list if I’m ever in Houston.
