Hopdoddy Burger Bar

Sat outside on an unusually balmy night to avoid the overly loud restaurant. We all ordered burgers, one bowl, one Gluten Free bun, two sides of flaccid skinny fries and one 100% excellent sweet potato fries. All these came out first. I upgraded my Double Bacon Jam to grass-fed beef. Absolutely fantastic, the combination totally worked especially with the sweet grilled onions. Greater than the sum of its parts. The scratch made gluten free bun was really tasty but a bit thick and just too crumbly to hold its own on a juicy burger like the Goodnight/Goodcause. Next time she said she’d have it in a bowl like our Magic Shroom. All in all a good experience even with tired bathroom. BUT asking for 18% to 25% tip on counter service is a bloody cheek. Especially as no condiments were offered when fries were delivered so we had to get our own. That’ll teach us for being kind.

Andrew , our delicate flowered waiter was most friendly! He delivered our food in super fast manner with a soft friendly smile! Our brussels & fries were most excellent! There could be less salt used in my opinion but otherwise super delicious!!! Hubby had a tasty bacon jam burger and my chicken sandwich was super tasty too!! that meal was $61!!! so be ready to fork out some money!!! Oh, and restrooms were clean!

We ordered two burgers, small fry, an adult beverage, and a milkshake for $55 with tip. The food is great, the portions are a bit on the small size and fairly expensive.

I love ordering pasture raised beef, and everything we've ordered here is delicious. We tip the wait staff because they're helpful and friendly despite being a counter service restaurant. However, we were disappointed this trip to have a tiny serving of sweet potatoes, this cost about $9 (pictured) and was supposed to be a side for 4. Nope. The loaded burgers are filling, but it seems like the sides are skimpy and not worth the expense. Clean place and nice patio.

Good, not the best. A good meal for the price though. We were there for a weekday lunch, not crowded, but well staffed. Ordered 2 burgers, drinks, large fries. The fries, positive and negative. The positive, they try to get them to you quickly almost like an appetizer before your burgers arrive - much appreciated. HOWEVER, as a result the fries were a little under done and a bit flaccid. I would be happier if they fried longer, got a little body and crisp before serving (-0.5 stars) That said, they were still tasty. Burgers were great, with a few small issues. The bottom of each bun was very oily though. The more upsetting part was the fried egg on the farmhouse burger was broken and completely cooked - if there is an egg on my burger, it should be runny and messy, not the case here unfortunately (-0.5 stars). I'd also note, the double bacon jam burger we had was a little over season - quite salty. The farmhouse burger was seasoned perfectly. Bathrooms cleanliness - 5/10 Overall, a good experience, but if I'm going to pick an upscale chain burger place to go to, I'd probably head to The Stand. Or if I'm looking for a local joint, Every Bellies in Tomball.

I ordered a burger and sweet potato fries. The burger was great! The fries, on the other hand, were not. I bit into one that tasted odd, smelled like cleaning supplies, and did not look very good. The fry ruined my whole appetite for the rest.

Great gourmet burgers and fries as well as customer service. The burger bowl is a nice alternative to the bun and the dressing was excellent.

Was excited to eat here because they advertise a gluten free bun but what a huge disappointment that was today :( I have celiac so it was my only bread option for me but wow that was the worst bun I’ve ever had. I went to pick up my burger to eat it and the whole thing just fell completely apart. I paid extra money for something I couldn’t eat even if I’d have wanted to. Fries were way overdone today too, the bison burger was okay but for almost $20 a person I would not recommend if you have celiac… maybe the bowl would have been better but for a salad we wouldn’t have chosen a burger place.

I went back last night as management contacted me. Hamburgers were cooked to perfection this time! We will be back!

This is not your typical burger joint. They got specialty burgers, fries and shakes. The service was welcoming. I got the Double Jam burger, Green Chile Queso Fries, and Mochaccino Shake. The fries were cooked to perfection with the right amount of crisp with every bite. The queso was delicious, creamy and cheesy. Not spicy at all. The shake was thick and creamy. They also give you a fat straw and not the typical skinny straw for your drink. The burger was delicious with the jam, cheese, pickles, and the double patties that are not dried. I'd come back here with friends and family.

Okay but not great. Got beef Swiss mushroom and mayo on rye bread. Patties were very dry and sorta salty. Whataburger is better and cheaper.

Hopdoddys Burger Bar has become my weekly place for a great gourmet burger, fries, and drinks! Just recently they started a new happy hour where food and drinks are half off Sun-Thursday when at the bar! If you ask me that's a steal! Cody at the bar has been there nearly every time I've gone and is able to provide the best of service and makes a great hand shaken upgraded Double Fino Margarita with Lalo silver....... Perfection! If you're in the area make sure to give this place a try and see Cody at the bar!

Absolutely amazing!! Came here for dinner after a long work day and this is exactly what my husband and I needed. Although they were busy, they had a great amount of seating and the service was quick. I had the el Diablo (which actually had a great amount of spice), and he had the doddy melt (also super cheesy and packed with flavor). We had the nacho sharable fries which were delicious. We also had some drinks which were MUCH needed after work. I had a frozen strawberry margarita and my husband had the sling. They definitely don't hold back on the alcohol like other places do. We loved the margarita so much that we took some to go! Hopdoddy definitely gives the typical burger bar ambiance with the warm dim lighting, lively and casual conversation and relaxed atmosphere. Enjoyed our experience and can't wait to try more.

This is quite clearly a chain now. From the poor, lackluster service to the "regulated" prices. They tried to give it a traditional sit down restaurant feel but it screams fast food chain from the minute you walk in. I'll come back to the service. Let's start with the food, the most important part. This is only my second time at a Hopdoddy (first time was at the one in the Woodlands mall several months ago) and I don't really remember my experience which to me means it's was just "average". So let's just do the review for this location. Came here today on a rainy Monday. Had quite the stressful day & since all steakhouses are closed on Mondays, I was stuck coming here as an alternative to my favorite steakhouse as a burger is a second close for me. I grabbed the Buffalo Bill. The burger itself was pretty good. Good flavors, buffalo sauce was good but not over bearing, blue cheese complemented it well. The bison patty itself could've been a bit more fatty, it was a tad dry to me. And the Burger itself asa whole was kind of small for what it cost to me. Satisfying but not something I gotta run & tell my momma about. Ok so service. When I walked in, I asked about the happy hour. The first girl at the bar was confused about what all the happy hour included. Went to the register and the cashier seemed confused as well. Placing my order just felt weird & cold, like a typical chain restaurant. Then I notice that there's nothing working here but kids and they were all on their phones. Whatever, it is what it is. I guess I'm just old fashioned and like good service at restaurants. The shake was good. I got the candy bar shake. It actually was pretty good. The shake and the decent flavors of the burger earns this a 3-star review, minus the deductions for poor service.

Mother nature burger on a lettuce wrap. Nice presentation. Burger isn't was nothing special. Thin patties like in and out except in and out tastes better. Maybe it's because I expected better for the list of toppings and price vs in and out is a simple cheese patty for the price. Sweet potato fries - crispy and generous portion for price. Loved it. This was exactly what I came for. Only downside was the uneven salt distribution that was clumped into a few fries. Truffle Brussel sprouts - generous portion and crispy but extremely salty. I felt lot I was just eating a chip with salt. I asked if they salt it afterwards or prior and the waitress said after so she gave me another batch without salt. I was extremely grateful that she gave me another batch without salt. But then I tasted a pound of oil. Every bite was immersed with oil. I'm assuming this was deep fried to get this oily and crispy. I didn't want to waste it so I ended up squeezing the oil out of it with napkins. This is a great example of more is not better. I suggest baking or air fry to capture the vegetable otherwise like other yelpers said, you'll be eating a bowl of grease. Food speed was surprisingly fast. Facility was clean. You order at the front and pay. they then tell you which table by assigning a number. Overall, disappointed by my cheat meal. We downed green juices shortly after as a cleanse. Does it work like that? Hopefully my body won't be upset with my poor food decisions.

Service: it's an order at the counter and they bring it to your table deal, but everyone was nice and professional. Food: we had ordered a few different types of burgers and the truffle fries, and they were absolutely amazing. We really loved that you could order a small shake for a reasonable price. It was a perfect ending to a really nice evening. I honestly am excited to go back, because that was a really yummy meal.

Absolutely delicious burgers. Paired with a shake, you can't go wrong. Warning, you will leave stuffed. Come hungry! I had the classic burger with fries. Loved everything, and i have no complaints whatsoever. There is plenty of seating inside, and everyone was friendly.

Hopdoddy Burger was definitely an experience. It reminded me of Grub Burger so much. I'm not sure if it's because they didn't change the restaurant at all or what. The food. The Parmesan truffle fries and that sauce that comes with it is something that every customer should get. I could most definitely survive in a room with just these fries. Lol. The burger I had wasn't too bad. Llano poblano. Although I don't remember it having the poblano on there. I could have missed it. It seemed bigger than a Grub Burger, yet for the price of it, I was expecting a little more than what I got. The Nashville hot chicken sandwich, lacks the heat you expect to get when you see the name. They can definitely kicked this up a few notches. Maybe a lot of notches. Kudos to it being fresh. A few things to note, the everything is priced individually. The fries will easily feed two people. Unless they are both super hungry. There are more than just burger options to choose from. You will get counter service only for the most part. And yes they have a bar. The seltzer I got was $8

The people leaving negative reviews are very entitled people. This is not a sit down, order from your waitress and be babied the whole time service and you can tell from the moment you walk in. It is quite literally like any other chain burger joint (in-n-out, shake shack, five guys, etc). They feel the exact same, how can yall not understand? The burger was very good. Probably the best traditional style burger in Houston. Infinitely better than champ burger or anything else. The patty was full of flavor. The bun was toasted perfectly and the sauce was phenomenal. Their sweet potato fries are hands down the best in Houston, regular or the hot honey sage. The dipping sauces are very very good as well, I had the honey mustard and chipotle and I couldn't get enough.

Sweet and Spicy sweet potato fries delivered piping hot were Amazing! The line out the door was justified and moved fairly quickly. Very reasonable prices for heapin' healthy portions of Any Hamburger in a salad. We saladized the mushroom burger and a double candy bacon burger. Delicious at a very fair price. We'll be back!

We just Grubhubbed some burgers from here to eat at an all day soccer tournament and we're very pleased. All three burgers were perfectly seasoned and cooked just right. I had the Primetime and I have to say it was probably the best burger I've had in a while. My wife got the Llano Poblano with a gluten free bun and according to her it was the best gf bun she has ever had. Would definitely eat here again.

My sister and I went for lunch today from around 11:30 to 12:30, we sat at the bar and our bartender/waitress was exceptionally professional and nice. She had a lot to deal with us because we are very high maintenance lol, but we are kind at the same time and we tip well. Because of her superior service, we will definitely go back. Thank you for making us feel very welcome today. I'm sorry I did not catch her name. I'm not finding it on the receipt. I only see a call name number of 202, if that means anything. Looking forward to our next visit.

We went for lunch on a Tuesday and it wasn't busy. We ordered the Diablo burger, Good Night/Good Cause, hot honey and sage sweet potato fries and hot honey sage brussel sprouts. The Diablo was really good, I thought the Good Night could have been more flavorful but it was still a good burger. I found myself munching on the fries after my burger so they're definitely a win. The brussel sprouts were good but it's kind of hard to eat brussel sprout leaves with a fork...

1st time in Houston - swung by on a recommendation. Afterwards, I know two things: 1. This place has a unique outlook on a table "sharing some fries." 2. If you're reading this, it's a good bet you're an adult; if you're an adult, you mess with 'cados. This place has you, and everything, literally covered, in avocado. Put this together - we dug the place - it's simple math.

Love this place! I grew up with one in Scottsdale AZ and got so happy when they opened here. It's freaking incredible every time I go. The burgers are incredibly juicy and great portions.

First time visit.. very busy but seats were available.. fast service... broad menu and everything tastes great! My Pablano (sp) burger was full of flavor and spot on! Surprised that the over all burger was smaller in diameter vs. others but the size was perfect. The "pime time" burger was also great but pricey. The fries were also spot on. The Salmon Kale Bowl was just a little on the salty side but good too. As for drinks, tea,, fountain, spiked shakes and beer are also served. Everything here is upper scale in costs vs. the others but I believe HopDoddy to be considered gourmet. Worth a visit if in the area. Just my opinion.

Been here a few times. Burgers are pretty good, but honestly not heads and shoulders above local competition. The restaurant is self serve (get your own drinks, cutlery, sauces), but even then, the service is pretty poor. Overall disinterested and no customer service/interaction - no asking if everything had come out okay, if we needed anything, if we were missing anything. More of a drop the food and run vibe. Ambiance is nice, 2000s rock music. If you get two burgers plus fries and a drink you're going to be in the ~$50 range, which I think doesn't line up with what you get.

This place was great. I have never been a person who randomly throws out 5 stars. And I am not going to with this review either. However, I would have to say this is as close as it gets to 5 stars for an awesome burger joint. Fries and amazing and the classic burger I had was killer. The fries with the green chili cheese dip was absolutely fantastic. I bought the to share size. And I didn't share one of them. I ate them all. The burger was spot on. I was really disappointed it was gone. The video shows what it looked like before I devoured it.

We've been hoping and hoping that the Grub Burger would convert to Hopdoddy and yay! It finally did! The Woodlands needed one! GREAT burgers! I usually order one that's off the menu: the Lil Guy. Killer fries...even the "small" portion is big enough for two people to share. Nice-sized bar with lots of beers on tap. Order at the counter. They'll give you a table number and bring the food out fairly quickly. Parking can get limited when the place next door is having brunch. We just park across the street.

Came here with the family on my birthday and we barely made it in time for their Hoppy Hour ! This place used to be Grub Burger Bar so we were looking forward to trying this newish addition to The Woodlands. I am a little spoiled because I've tried the original Hopdoddy's in Austin - I expected they would've changed the interior of the space to fit more of the Hopdoddy vibe - but it didn't look too much different. Womp womp. The service was fast and we got our food quickly. The bowl of fries was humongous and more than accommodated our hungry family of four. The Hoppy hour drinks were a nice treat as well - the Moscow Mule was pretty tasty! We got the chicken tenders for the kids and the Buffalo Bill and the Bacon Jam Double burgers. The chicken tenders were amazing - super moist, very flavorful - impressive for a burger place. The burgers were also true to the Hopdoddy menus I've experienced in the past. I enjoyed being able to have our lively bunch and not feeling like we were drawing too much attention to ourselves. We will definitely be back for dinner again - knowing this place has a decent happy hour is a plus!

First visit was last night and boy was I impressed, the meat quality was fantastic and cooked perfectly, the bacon is thick sliced and there was a perfect meat/bun ratio. I got the prime time burger and damn it was good, best burger in the area hands down. On top of that the service was outstanding and the design of the restaurant is perfect for date night. I'll be back for sure. It was so good I ordered another burger to go just so I could eat another one later on.

Service extraordinaire Shoom burger had 2 slices of mushroom Lettuce was a minimal We were so disappointed our first visit

We stopped Hopdoddy Burger Bar after a meeting in The Woodlands. We had the: "Classic Burger & Goodnight/Good Cause burger. Also, a chocolate shake & Iced Tea! We didn't order the fries this time, because they are so big! Usually, we order the sharable Truffle Fries! When they say sharable, it's really sharable! The burgers were cooked to perfection, fresh & were very tasty! The service & atmosphere is great. Be sure to bring a big appetite when you order the sharable fries! Definitely one of our favorite restaurants to eat out at. Hopefully, when the temperature gets cooler, we can use their patio with our pooches! Y'all keep up the Great Food & Service!

Not worth the money. The burger was dry, hard and flavorless. Way too much sauce and I'm a sauce fiend. There were two tiny slivers of mushrooms. This was a mushroom burger. I ordered the truffle fries and they came cold and disgusting. However I asked for fresh ones and they brought them hot and fresh. Then they were delicious. But beware if you go by yourself you can only order a jumbo order of fries which will cost you $9 plus. So, let's review, for almost $20 I ate a few bites of an awful hamburger and a handful of delicious fries.

There is no service. They expect a tip for standing in line to order food . They won't take cash. It's like a place for Gen Z to hang out and get paid and that we should be so lucky to come in and to be allowed to be graced by their presence. if you like hanging out with people who have crappy attitudes and even shittier tattoos, this is your place. The food is mediocre at best.

Had the Classic burger and fries with green chile Queso. Delicious! Friendly staff with nice outdoor seating area. We always enjoy Hopdoddy!

Sadly, this particular location felt disappointing. I am a pretty big fan of this restaurant... In Austin and Oklahoma it knocked my socks off! However, my socks stayed on at the Woodlands Hopdoddy. My burger was pretty delicious, but the fries were burned and over salted, but... not near as salty as the employee that took our order! A young girl, full of attitude, was the first impression I got and it unfortunately set the tone for my experience here. If you absolutely loathe customer service, don't work in that industry. ***If anyone in management from this location is reading this: The short girl with dark curly hair that takes orders needs to check herself and leave her attitude at home.

I was excited to see a Hopdoddy in The Woodlands but disappointed to see that it was exactly the same as Grub Burger bar except for a new name. They have changed the menu to match other Hopdoddy locations but the food was sub par at best. There are already too many burger joints in this area. We need more of a standout.

Super duper love this place. They have such a delicious selection. I had the three mini burgers. So freaking good. The staff is really nice and the vibe is always great. This is a nice place to enjoy some juicy burgers, watch the game and have a few drinks.

My husband and I were so happy when we heard Hopdoddy was replacing Grub. We've been to the Austin, Dallas and Houston location and it's so much better than Grub. Austin is the best location though. I've read so many negative reviews on this location specifically and was surprised because we had a great experience. I will say it did take longer than usual just to order our food. Burgers were great, not the best but definitely better than Grub. My favorite will always be the Magic Shroom Burger. We also got the Parmesan truffle fries and it was a tad too salty, but it was still so delicious. I do wish they went back to the shoe string fries or at least have longer length fries because the fries we got today were all short, like bottom of the bag leftover fries.

Always great food, love the truffle fries, I eat gluten free & they have the best gluten free buns

I'm glad the restaurant next door was too busy because then we would have never walked over here to experience our delicious lunch! I had the thunderbird with loaded Brussels sprouts. Delicious. Their milkshakes are yummy. I really dislike how all the tables are super tall, but the food is great.

I really like the food at Hopdoddy, but it's insanely overpriced for a burger joint. The fact that you have to order everything a la carte is insane. There should be a combo option for 15 bucks or so. Paying 20+ dollars for a burger, fries, and a drink is crazy.

Overpriced. The burgers were short on toppings. The drinks are only Pepsi products - that should always make it suspect. The sweet potato fries were too spicy and greasy. The hype for this place is not valid. But I will probably try it again. Great atmosphere.

I heard great things. I've been wanting to go for a while now, so I made it there a few nights ago..... Way over priced.... burger was ok.... fries w Queso was disgusting, the reg fries ok.... not worth the money.... Sorry

Great food good service clean restaurant would recommend to everyone usually not to crowded

This is my second trip to a Hopdoddy. First one in College Station, now The Woodlands, and it's just as good. And, just like College Station, my only complaint at all is the bun. The buns get really soggy halfway through the burger. I'd recommend toasting before assembly. Otherwise, it's a darned good burger. Service on the really busy World Series Night was great, and they had a good selection of beers on tap. The Llano Poblano remains my favorite, burger, but the Classic and the mushroom are both really nice as well.

I had a great experience a few years ago when eating at their original location in Austin. I also visited their Rice Village location in 2019, just before the pandemic. This new location in the Woodlands is definitely the most refined location of the three. Located on Research Forest drive in what felt like a more upscale location, most likely drawing a lunch crowd of business professionals from nearby large corporations. Nothing wrong with that, just initially surprised of the set-up in comparison to where the other two restaurants I've been to are located... When I think of Hopdoddy burgers, slogans by other burger franchises such as "napkins are free" or "if it doesn't get all over the place, it doesn't belong in your face" type of comparison come to mind! Not the suit and tie type of crowd for sure. Now to the food; Juicy and flavorful is an understatement! The Diablo burger is my favorite and would satisfy even the most spiced-craved burger-lover any day! The only thing I would change would be to "up" the overall plate setting. Serving burgers at this upscale Hopdoddy location on tiny, brown paper covered plain treys, kind of felt "out-of-place".

First time getting a burger from HopDoddy. Wow. The flavor was le magnifique *insert chef kiss* My husband and I were so impressed. I decided on the Bacon Jam double because, one of my favorite burgers from Whataburger is their sweet n spicy bacon burger and I figured this was close enough to it. It was phenomenal!!!! Move over Whataburger. I think this is my new favorite burger! My husband got the classic with a double meet Patty and devoured it in one bite. He couldn't get over how juicy and fresh the meat tasted. We tried the BBQ seasoned fries, good flavor, probably would have tasted better if we sat in the restaurant and had them served fresh. We had ordered to go. The only suggestion I would make is that they change their ranch. It tasted sour. If you could serve buttermilk homemade ranch, it would be the cherry on top! Definitely coming back here. You have to try the Bacon Jam Double!

Came here late on a Wednesday night- not much open after 9pm. It was our first time since Grub closed. You walk in, order at the counter, and they bring your food to the table. The employees were friendly and helpful, and the restaurant AND bathrooms were clean. I ordered the Classic with a gluten free bun- it was delicious and the bun held together until I finished, another plus for gf people. Other orders in our group- another Classic, only with no bun, a hot Nashville chicken sandwich, all the way, and the cashier recommended a large fry for us to share. The orders all came out correct, and they brought the fries first, so we ate on those until our burgers came. The only disappointment- the chicken sandwich didn't have much Cole slaw, so it was a little dry, but we will ask for double the toppings next time. And yes, there will be a next time!

i liek bruger it is bruger. and it is very good. yummy. good service i thiu=ink. i never been there but tat burger looks scrumptiously delisos. i think this burgeer is supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, and is yummy. is it 85 chars btw? also my friends think i am gay. i wangt bruger.

I was a huge fan of Grub and am sad that this restaurant has bought them out. Now onto the review. We were invited for their soft opening training weekend, I was excited to try out their offerings. That ended very quickly when our fries came out and it was just pure salt.. never in my life have I had salty ranch dressing until tonight as well. When we asked to have the fries prepared again with less salt, we were informed by management that salt is their thing. Let me tell you that is not a joke. Our entire meal was overly salted and inedible. Burgers.. over salted, kids chicken strips.. over salted, grilled cheese... yes, over salted. Also had an issue during our ordering process. I had noticed that they had entered in the incorrect order for my daughters meal, pointed this out to them, and both people behind the register assured me that no, it would be fine. Guess what happened when the food was brought to our table, it was incorrect. I don't feel that I am over sensitive to salt, as I do use it quite frequently in cooking. But this was an overwhelming use of salt, and not something that I can get past. Given that this was a training weekend, it was staffed with more people than what I'd assume a regular business day would typically be. No real issues with our remaining interactions with other staff members. Unfortunately we will not be going back.

Try their magic shroom burger! It's always my favorite thing on their menu and their fries are skinny fries just FYI. The indoor atmosphere is always nice and casual.

When I sit at the bar I always have great service. Food is good, nothing to brag about but it's good.

Good service. The Nacho fría could be better with less paprika. Nacho dressing was good.

Food is way overpriced. Don't get the chicken fingers. Not good at all. Also noticed the filters on the ice machine are clogged and nasty. Makes me wonder if there is slime in the ice machine. And if the kitchen is also unclean.

We tried the Goodnight Good Cause with no jalapeños and truffle fries. For me, it was the best truffle fries I've ever eaten for my friend the best burger ever she had eaten. Definitely we will be back.
