Don't judge a book by the cover, is probably the best way to describe this place. When I first got here I thought I was in the wrong place but I was in the right place. Boom Baam is now one of my favorite hole-in-the-wall places in the Houston area! Ebun made me and my tio a delicious meal. My burger was so good! And my tio's chicken sandwich looked amazing! We both enjoyed our food so much that we had to get some to go. If you go here you will not be disappointed. I'm glad I made the trip from Pearland to try this fantastic food.

OMG, it was so good! Perfect meal after a long day. My boyfriend and I were looking for a spot nearby to grab a bite. We saw the pics and were sold. It's in a gas station, but there's a place to sit and eat. I got the Fried Chicken Sandwich with fries, we got 4 wings with sweet and spicy sauce and Jerk Chicken Kabobs with Jollof rice. The gentleman running the place was super nice, paid attention to us, and you can tell he loves what he does. We're definitely coming back, and I'm telling all my friends since it's Halal!

Seen this on TikTok had to try it! Food was more flavorful than I could have imagined. The burger, chicken sandwich, & Beef Philly was amazing. We also had the jollof rice and Boom Baam Fries! Chef Robert’s is one of the most humble guys you could ever meet. Definitely worth the drive.

Don’t let the location fool you—this gas station restaurant is a true culinary surprise. We found it online and decided to trust the reviews, and we’re glad we did. The chef brings his Nigerian roots straight to the plate with rich, flavorful jolof rice and boldly seasoned chicken skewers. While the chicken was slightly overcooked (just a bit dry), the flavor more than made up for it. The jerk chicken packs a spicy punch, but it's balanced and very tolerable. You can tell the chef is passionate about his craft. This spot proves that exceptional food and talent aren’t limited to fancy storefronts—sometimes they’re tucked right next to a gas pump.

I got the spicy chicken burgers.
Great burgers loved the sweet and spicy flavors, the sauce on the fries were also very good had a sweet and salty flavor made it taste great with burger. Overall great service and great food, would definitely come again.

Tried the Jerk Chicken plate and it was bursting with flavor! The spice level was just right!
The owner provided exceptional service and made the experience even better. Can’t wait to come back and try their popular burger next!

Omg. So good. Don't worry about it being inside the store as we sometimes do. The owner was there and was super nice. Food was so yummy for real. Sauce was the bomb and loved the didf twist of the sausage. If they go to their own restaurant, it's gonna be packed. Enjoy

Don’t be put off by the fact that they’re located in a gas station. The food is on point! They have the best chicken wings I have ever had anywhere. They are crispy, spicy, flavorful. Pro tip drizzle honey on them when you get home. I have never eaten a bad meal here. Jerk chicken, spicy kebabs, joloff rice, burgers. Hell even the cole slaw is good and I don’t even like cole slaw. The owner is so nice too. Call your order ahead or you will have to wait bc the food is prepared fresh.

The food was so good I went 2 days in a row. First night, 1/9, I ordered the Spicy Kabob Plate which came with Boneless Chicken Breasts and Rice. I didn't want the Slaw so I opted for the Fries. Everything was so tasty and made to order. My fries were not hot though. That sauce though...I kept eating even though I was full. The Boom Baam sauce is Da BOMB!! on the 10th I decided to order the Spicy Double Cheese burger and Fries. The meat was seasoned well and the sauce just makes it all HIT!! I will tell him to cook my fries last though because I like piping hot fries. I will be going back soon!! Maybe even this week! Lol!
I don't have a picture of the Kabob plate, because I left my phone in the garage and it was too cold to go and get it. There are pictures online though.

Boom! Baam! That's the explosion your taste buds feel when you chomp down on this delicious food. The Burger Tower has to be one of the best burgers in the city. It was loaded, perfectly cooked, and perfectly seasoned. The Safari Dust and Screaming Fire wings were just as delicious. Very unique and flavorful. The Screaming Fire definitely brings the heat! The owner is friendly and attentive and provides excellent customer service. Would highly recommend this hidden gem off Westheimer!

I've been hearing good things about this place so I decided to stop by and get some stuff for my family. Omg y'all. The food is so good. The dishes I ordered were a hamburger for myself and a chicken kebob plate and jerk chicken plate. Everything was top notch. The burger I got with just cheese and sauce. Sooo good. The sauce is a little sweet and reminds me of the sauce on the hot and spicy burger that Whataburger has sometimes.
While I waited the owner gave me some rice and jerk chicken to taste. I wish I had gotten an order for myself! The chicken was perfectly spicy and juicy. The rice was great too. Whew I'm definitely coming back here to try the wings and Philly cheesesteak. This is strictly a takeout place as it's in the gas station. You may have to wait a little bit for the food to be prepared, but trust, it's worth the wait. The owner is vey nice and friendly and best of all the meat is halal. Run, don't walk.

All I can say is Hot Damn! The food is amazing! The owner greeted us at the window and helped us figure out what we wanted to try. We went with the Bulid a Tower which is a double cheese burger with a beef link and a jerk chicken kabob plate. All I can say is we will Definitely be back again! Yes it is in a gas station but that's no excuse not to eat here. You won't be disappointed!

This place is GAS. All the food here tastes amazing, I got the tower burger and it was juicy and delicious. Only problem I have is that there is only 1 person cooking, so if you go in a big group, be expected to wait a long time, I went with a group of 5, and we waited 30+ min. If the cook had a little more help, I'm sure things would go by a bit quicker. Nonetheless, amazing food, 100% Recommend.

I went to Boom Baam Food with my daughter on 12/24/24. We didn't realize it was located in the gas station. All the review was great. The best part the meat was halal. The chief and owner greeted us in a beautiful way and explained the menu and made some suggestions to our order. The food was fabulous. We will be coming back again. Halal foods reported that the restaurant was in the top 10 halal restaurant to visit in 2024.

The owner is very good at making you feel welcome, the only thing better is the food. Whether you're trying the burger, kabob plate, or the jollof, it's all a hit and it's made fresh . Sincerely a hidden gem
