NYC bodega-themed spot serving smash burgers & chopped cheese
"A locally owned spot led by Houston rapper Bun B that specializes in smash burgers and elevated chopped cheeses, staying open late (often until 3 a.m. on Saturdays) for concert-night crowds." - Jesse Sparks
"With its unique decor modeled after a New York bodega, this Heights burger joint has become a go-to for many Houstonians’ burger cravings. Order the classic smash burger with grilled onions and the creamy Bodega sauce, or the show-stopping chopped cheese: diced beef patties, cheese, peppers, and onions on a hoagie roll. Other options, like fries piled high with beef and cheese sauce, are also available. Don’t forget the milkshake, which comes in vanilla, chocolate, mango lassi, and Vietnamese coffee flavors. Pro-tip: Kick up the flavor of any burger or fries with the Burger Bodega’s spicy mayo." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Among the top smash burger restaurants in Houston, Burger Bodega’s whimsical outpost on Washington Avenue mimics a New York City-style bodega and features an airy rooftop patio. Pair a double-patty smash burger or chopped cheese with a mango or Vietnamese coffee milkshake, and then head upstairs to enjoy the quaint outdoor space overlooking the bustling street below. Beware — there’s little shade on this patio, so it’s best enjoyed when it’s not too sunny out." - Marcy de Luna

"This New York bodega-themed joint has made a name for itself in the vast Houston burger scene. Its signature smash burger rings in at just under $10 and features a double smashed patty with gooey American cheese, grilled onions, house-made pickles, and Bodega sauce loaded inside a potato bun. The substantial $11 chopped cheese, an ode to the NYC classic, pairs well with the signature milkshakes, including the mango lassi — a nod to the owner’s Pakistani heritage." - Brianna Griff
