Big Burger V

We love this place! I usually get a burger basket but I’ve tried the nuggets and they’re good too. Everything’s always hot and fresh. My favorite shakes are the cherry and butterscotch ones!!

This place is an absolute gemstone!! My dad, who is almost 60, has been coming here since he was in middle school (Patrick Henry across the hardy). My parents used to go on dates here when they were younger. The quality of the food here never goes down! I wish Guy Fieri could come here and film. As someone else said in a review, this place definitely deserves more than 5 stars. One of a kind spot💗 Also...best ice cream cones in existence 🥹

Quality of the burgers are very classic. Definitely has an old school kind of vibe. If you were thinking about choosing McDonald over this I would say you're money has been poorly spent. We got basket meals that came with fries and the fries were very crispy and nicely seasoned. Value for the amount of food is well worth it. Recommendations: don't sit on the bench that has little rocks. Your buttocks will hurt after you stand up 😢 also when you order your drink order an extra large they do not do free refills and you will have to pay for a brand new drink if you end up wanting more soda. Awesome burgers being served !

Staff was friendly. You can sit out and eat, I have not had a burger like this is years! Fries were crunchy on the out, soft inside. And the shakes 🤤 thick and rich. Delicious will definitely come back.

The food was absolutely delicious the mozzarella sticks are an absolute must get it may not look like it would be a good place due to the location it’s around but trust me when I say this place is the best and it’s worth it too with all the food provided for a good price

I don’t think 5 stars is enough for this spot. I’ve been goin here for a while now and they never fail. Everything is amazingly good. Their cheese sticks are simply the best I’ve had from a burger joint

I went on my friends recommendation, thanks Crysatl, but food is solid good price. Service was friendly and patient with all my questions, chili cheese burger mmm, fish chips on my 2nd visit for the price awesome big portion, and I may be off a bit on the price but the milkshakes for like 2.50 ish awesome!!!!

My husband and I first time eating at this place today. Omg the have the most amazing, delicious flavorable old school hamburgers, onion rings, ect. If your in Houston please check them out . We will be returning very soon.... I think we may become regular customer. Great Food Big Burger V!

Always look forward to coming to Houston and getting a banana shake! Right off of Hardy Toll Road

Truck stop joint in every way which is cool. Outdoor seating and a classic truck stop menu of burgers and fries and all that's related. I got the fish and chips dinner which is like the fish dinner but with strips I guess. Nicely battered and crispy. Those crinkle cut fries are good too. Also very crispy. Texas toast on the side. It's just toast actually. There's nothing on it. But goes with the vibe. Don't look for anything else around here this is it. Just the freeway and some neighborhoods and gas stations. Oh and dogs roaming around. Kind of a spooky area to be honest if not for the doggos.

Amazing food so delicious that I had to leave my first review, burger so juicy and fries perfect salt. Service was really good and friendly amazing just for 16.00! Worth the visit definitely will go again!

I'm a mailman and this is a go to spot on my route. Best onion rings. Burgers are classic

Located off the tollway. There were a few people ahead of us. The wait to order and get food was about 20 minutes. We ordered the chicken nugget basket which includes fries and the nuggets, chili cheese burger with fries, chili cheese fries. This is a walk up burger stand. They do have seating out on the patio. We were sitting outside eating but the flies took over and we left to eat at home. I also ordered a hamburger. The burger patty was thin and it lacked flavor. Everything else was just ok. Not sure if I'd ever visit again.

I've seen a few negative reviews on this burger joint but I'm not sure why. This place was fantastic! The burger had flavor and the portion size was great. Nice staff as well.

The service was good it took a little for them to attend me and the burger was delicious good size its like if it was made at home love this place!!!

This is def a mom and pop place , Food was amazing and sooooooo crispy! The fries , the shrimp , the onion rings. I got the shrimp basket dinner This plate was $14 and some change , it was sooo good! You go to papas seafood and they charge you over $30 and not even a good quality compared to here. This is my go to spot from now on, so happy I gave them a try. Their burgers are amazing as well.

The burger was just ok, to me it taste very much like a whataburger but had way too much lettuce and the 1 and only tomato on the burger was sliced so thick! The tomato was actually thicker than the burger pattie itself. I didn't like the crinkle cut fries at all they tasted like they were fried twice or something. Doubt if I'll try Big V Burger a second time.

Haven't been here in a while, Nice to see that they've kept the tradition of an unfriendly person working the front. Honestly to not say anything or smile, maybe this is not the right job for you? $50 for 3 burgers, a single burrito and 2 drinks. I might as well go to Burger Spot @ least they are friendly. I like to support small business, but I appreciate being appreciated. Maybe it's me

Good food. Good customer service. Old school walk up fast food joint. Outside dining area only.

Heard so many things about this place from my husband who grew up going here. It didn't disappoint. The burgers was fresh and hot. Soft buns. French Fries were hot and crispy. Service was quick. Classic old school outside tables. Wouldn't change a thing.

I've seen this place many times when I play ball on that side of town. Decided to give them a try and was cool with the burger and fries that I got from there. I will be stopping by again.

delicious fresh food, friendly staff the fish and chips and catfish plate were great, also ordered a corndog all freshly made

I used to live in the area 26 years ago. The food is just as good as it was back then. The prices are amazing for the quality. Cheaper and better than any fast food place. Definitely glad I ended up in the area driving UBER as it's 40 miles from where I live now. It's definitely going to be my go to place for lunch or dinner if I'm within 10 miles of it.

Best burgers on town classic love that the taste is like home style highly recommend it as the chili cheese fries and can't leave without tasting the strawberry shake !!! That's my favorite for sure the best I ever tasted

I have only had a couple of the burgers. The burgers are amazing here. They are better priced than many fast food burgers joints. They are super friendly and professional and prompt with their service. It's an old school style restaurant where you walk up to the window to order and they have outdoor tables. Overall it's a great spot to order to go or just sit down on a cool day to eat their great food.

Good food good service everything good cheeseburger real real good chili fries excellent

Excellent food & prices!!! I see why they have a continuous flow of people . Can't wait to come back. Mom had their fish sandwich w some perfectly cooked fries. I got their BLT.

Old school burger joint. The food is always fresh and the shakes are top notch. Service is always excellent and the old drive inn feel is cool.

Food is pleasant The shakes good as fuck tho, wouldn't be bad to stop by on your way home from work or lunch

Burgers are excellent & great prices ! Can't go wrong with this spot at all 10/10 satisfied every time

Food is awesome! Service is great! Call in your order because they tend to get a bit busy.

love this place i used to come all the time when i was younger and started coming again not so long ago and it taste even better than i remember. their shakes are to die for!!!

This is a north side landmark. If you grew up in north Houston you should know this spot. It's down the street from Sam Houston High School and it's a great place for a homemade burger! Prices are very reasonable as you can get a burger and fries for under $6. These are the crinkle fries and they are cooked to perfection! Crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. All burgers come with the option of single meat or double and you are able to request your burger which ever way you like. I would also Recommend you try one of their shakes while you're there. I love the Chocolate banana shake. Not sure what they use for chocolate but it such a great taste and not too sweet. They use real bananas in the shake which gives you the perfect flavor!

I found this jewel back in 2020 based on a previous review. I was shocked how great it was for a Northside establishment. Don't get me wrong there are jewels all over this city. You just have to find them. As a result of my job I've had to find other jewels. Tonight I had a chance to visit again and ordered the shrimp dinner. Yeah it's fried but once in a while... I don't know where they source or how they do it... but they put restaurants charging 3x to shame! So next theme your trying to set a land speed record on the HTR... and are a little hungry... check them out! Peace!

The bomb !! Employees are super nice and amazing , I came literally right now at 6:55 . It's my first time here , super excited to try everything . I paid 20 dollars and I got two meals , hot chocolate and a shake :) keep up the amazing work

YES YES YES . If your looking for a good ol homemade burger your at the right place . Family owned and family ran . I've never had a bad burger , chili cheese burrito , malt / shake and always fresh fries . Very busy during lunch time but they make your food fast and always fresh . Try um out

My dad loved this place growing up and i see why. The chicken sandwich was amazing. I love a good meal that doesn't have all the grossness of fast food. The service was fast food. Very good!!

Great position sizes and the price is unmatched. 10/10 do recommend to everyone to visit and eat here. It's a local spot and they do burgers the best

Great prices and decent food.. onion rings were hand battered monsters but very greasy.. and catfish filets were great..

Not a very good burger. If you eat outside the birds won't leave you alone. I won't be back.

Whataburger who? Big burger V can cook up a viciously delicious burger. With a fair menu price you can order up the whole menu without breaking the bank! This gem is located on the Northside of Houston about 10 mins north of downtown. Staff is always nice I believe it is a family ran establishment. This is a delightful experience when you're looking for a quick bite in the neighborhood.

I absolutely LOVE this place. It was the first time I came here. It was referred to me by a friend & it did not disappoint. The shrimp platter was awesome!! The fish sandwich was simply delicious!! I will most definitely be back.

BBV is always great! A family favorite. The chili is the best around! Onion rings in tempura batter is a lil greasy but always good.

Great place to eat ! Great good food and good prices. The cheeseburger baskets and shakes and malts here are what keep me coming back.

Most Amazing burgers I have had at the Northside. Customer service is great. Will come again.

This is good place to get a good hamburger, hotdogs, chili cheese fries and lots of other things. The food is always fresh. I've never gotten old French fries. The service is always friendly. There is only outside tables. Most people get their food to go.

We love living close by. Very clean place, great service, friendly employees. Ample patio to wait for your food or eat with friends. Sometimes we call ahead and drive over to pick up. The wait is never long even when they are busy! We love the gyro, hamburgers, corn dogs, banana split (YUM), soft serve, diet cokes and frito pies! They also have a Caesar salad and other green stuff if you need that!

Awesome food, home style food you can't go wrong here you have to try the homemade frito pie.

Food was delicious only issue was the wait rome was like 30 min even though I called my order in 30 min prior

Pretty great little spot. Learned they were from Greece and visit every year. Love a wholesome story. The burgers are always good and bigger than you'd think. Not too bad but the fries could use some work. Overall a great little place.

Fries are bomb, really good . But the burger was not a 10/10 . It has lost its flavor over the years. I would not be going out my way to come here .

Great place for homestyle burgers! Been going here for years now. Bacon cheeseburgers are awesome! They use thick cut bacon and plenty of it. Not just two thin strips like other places. The last time I went was yesterday. They just raised their prices a bit from what they were since before the pandemic. This is understandable since everywhere is doing so. But they did not reduce their potion size or quality of their food. Still worth it!

Short review: The word I can use to describe this burger joint is 'adequate'. You will find no bells and whistles here, no gimmicks, no extra effort. Big Burger V aims to meet expectations, not to exceed them, and that's exactly what it does. It's not bad food, and it's not great food, it's just... adequate. Long review: for the many of you that have watched ABC's 'Parks and Recreation', there was an episode where Ron Swanson and Chris Traeger have a burger cook off to decide who's burger is better. Chris creates and extremely well thought out gourmet burger complete with Papaya Chutney, Truffle Aioli, and Microgreens, while Ron makes "a hamburger. Made out of meat. On a bun. With nothing. Add Ketchup if you want, I couldn't care less." Big Burger V's food is the PERFECT representation of Ron's burger. There are no bells. No whistles. No frills. No showmanship of any kind. They don't use any fancy ingredients, no new fangled cooking methods. When you order a bacon cheeseburger, you will get a burger with bacon, cheese, iceberg lettuce, tomato, onions, mayo, and onion. That's it. Romaine lettuce? Nah, too fancy. Iceberg all the way, baby. I'm by no means saying the food is bad, because it is not. It is perfectly pleasant to eat. But you won't be wowed by anything either. It really depends on what type of food you like. If you consider yourself a foodie, and enjoy the gourmet side of things with ingredients you can't pronounce, this probably won't cut it for you. On the other hand, if you find yourself identifying more with Ron Swanson, Big Burger V is exactly your type of burger joint.

I got the bacon cheeseburger with jalapeños. It was so good. This place has a big variety of food and its so cheap. Apparently they have been around since the 70s. Would highly recommend

This is an A-OK non-chain burger. It's in a location without a lot of other options. It's always good. For me, I didn't think the shakes were special. Service is slow - so expect that - things are made to order. I've found fries and onion rings to be inconsistent from day to day.

10/10 do recommend. The fries came unseasoned but they give you salt and ketchup packets. They were the crinkle cut and cooked to perfection. Soft,but not mushy. The burger was amazing. I had a bacon cheeseburger w/Jalapenos. All for $9.31. I'm happy and wished I lived in the area to go more often. Check them out

I've been coming to this place for years now and their burgers are ok. Nothing too special but I do enjoy eating the chicken strip dinner along with the salad. Service is a bit slow but it's expected. The owners are lovely!
