Where to Eat At William P. Hobby Airport (HOU), May 2022 | Eater Houston

"Closed in 2023 following the Houston City Council’s decision to cut ties with Pappas Restaurants; the airport closed its locations of this Pappas-brand burger concept alongside Pappasito’s Cantina and Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen as part of a larger concession overhaul." - Brittany Britto Garley

Absolutely loved our visit to Pappas Burger in Houston! The burger and fries were top-notch — juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right. The atmosphere was fun and welcoming, and the food came out hot and fresh. Gaby was a phenomenal server — friendly, attentive, and made our experience even better with her great energy and excellent service. She made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. Can’t wait to go back! Highly recommend if you’re craving a solid burger and great service. 🍔🍟

Great place to go with friends and date, just great food. Order at counter, but service at table is still a thing. Great salads, addicting, you get your money's worth in taste. The French fries are a little salty, but you can request no salt. Yummy, no matter what you order. Any out of towners, I would definitely bring here.

We were greeted by a cheerful cashier in a very clean establishment. We ordered a couple burgers and sat down with Edwin, a very attentive server, who explained the concept of the restaurant. I had never been asked if I wanted half and half of fries onion rings. He customized our experience. The burgers were huge and fresh. 5star 🍔!!!

Here at Pappas Burger for the first time and the food was better than I expected. Ordered the campechana and that has to be one of the best shrimp cocktails I’ve ever had. Recommend ordering half and half of the fires and sweet potato fries. Shout out to our sever Marquis, very knowledgeable with the menu and super friendly!

Easily one of the best Burger 🍔 Joints in H-Town as my Go-To is the Bluecheese Burger with the Spicy Onion Straws. CHICKEN Items are great as well with an really good atmosphere with 📺 all around the joint. Shakes are very good qith some great Beer Selections yes Grown Folks Business.

The bun was one of the best buns I've ever had. The burger was huge! I would have liked a little more flavor but it was still good. Chocolate shake was good. Staff was excellent. Great customer service!

I being a Papas Burger fan and customer for over 9 years. I always appreciated their good portions, combined with great taste. However things keep going down after Covid. This last Monday I was ready to give up with this restaurant base on the parking lot issues, smaller portions for same prices ( still good flavor ) and a weird treatment from shift manager ( green shirt ) seems in a hurry to get us out. The BEST thing that happened to our family during this visit was by our server RAY; he is the best server you could ask for; attentive, fast and with a great attitude.

Las hamburguesas son enormes, el pan es muy suave y la carne jugosa. Mi favorita la Hickory Cheddar Burguer. Si eres amante de las malteadas, aquí probaras la mejor de fresa. Nuestra orden tardó más de lo esperado y Clayton tuvo un gran servicio al cliente, gracias! Un lugar al que siempre dan ganas de volver

Has been some time since we visited Pappa's for burgers and they won on a Sunday night from a list of great choices. The place was hopping around 7:30. Has a Diner feel and decor with a smaller Bar. You order first and then wait for seating- if there aren't any open tables, they come over and find you to take you to your table. We had about a 15 minute wait. Most of us ordered burgers from the Guacamole burger to the Peppercorn Burger and there was a shrimp basket, Buffalo Wings as well mozzarella bites. Fried Shrimp and Wings were good/standard with the mozzarella bites as the crowd favorite. My guacamole burger was tasty with a few toppings coming together and playing nicely. I remember from previous visits thinking if they have house ground prime beef why is the only choice for temperature medium well?-it doesn't really add up and although I do like the taste of the burger, I think it would be much better if they offered it medium or to your temperature liking. Service was fun and attentive and our server took great care of us. They managed the peak quite well. Good one for the atmosphere and could be a top contender in the H-town Burger scene if they changed the meat temperature options.

I have finally come and eat here, it was definitely one of the best burger I had in a while. You order at the counter and then you bring you slip to your table and then your server will confirm your orders and they will bring your food out to your table. It still have the old school burger diner feel but lots of TVs on the wall, it feel a bit chaotic in a good way. The burger may seem expensive. You do get a pretty big burger with high quality meat for the patty. It is worth it here and you can see why they are busy for a reason.

Such a confusing place to me. It's a self order, self seating, server having, burger restaurant. Ordered two burger combos with a soda. Was given the receipt and told I would check out with my server. Found a table and sat down. Server came and checked the receipt and reviewed our order. Another person brought our burgers, but with cheese. Walked off so fast I couldn't tell him about no cheese. Finally got our server's attention to tell him no cheese. He took the burgers back and later came back with the correct order. So when we received our receipt, they had charged us for all burgers. Had to remind him to take off the remade burgers. He said that's how he had to let the kitchen know to make a new order, but he forgot to remove. No biggie to fix for him. The bill was about $50. I'm not too impressed with this burger restaurant. Nothing too special about the meat's taste or atmosphere. I don't see myself returning, but I am glad to have experienced the location because I pass by frequently.

Walked with my bro been here years back and just about walked right out almost 20 bucks a burger! Regardless gave it a chance and ordered a papa's cheese burger and sweet tater fries. Buger came out fairly quickly. Presentation was good and the burger was big. It had a good helping of fries. Cheese Burger 7 outa 10 solid number Sweet potato fries 7 iuta 10 Flavors were good but don't know about that price tag pretty steep but I guess it's a gourmet burger.

I only write a review if the place I visit moves me to do so. Thank you Randy Tumlison for suggesting Pappas Burger on Westheimer in Houston, Texas. It was quite a drive from Kingwood but well worth it. Thank you Morgan (manager) and Edwin (our server) for treating us like honored guests. Quality meat flavor! The fries you can mix with onion rings or sweet potato in style. The shake was theeeeee best. Staff was friendly but Morgan made sure to ask if all was well and that mattered to me. Im just happy of how they treated us! WORTH THE VISIT!

They use to have a really good burger. I was surprised by the ordering process. First step order at cash register. Second step waitress reviews your order. Somehow between the two steps they messed up the order, so thanks for second step. The burger was ok and versus the price way better other places. Burgers are an art and many places around Houston treat them such. Just not Pappa's.

Down home vibes. Casual dining. Service was very attentive and cheery! I had a great meal here and definitely recommend. It IS on the pricier side for a burger but the burgers are massive. I got the mushroom Swiss burger and it was incredible. So yummy and delicious. My boyfriend got the Lucy juicy burger and he added an egg - it was insanely delicious. Very oily but wow just so good. I highly recommend both burgers just totally different vibes. I personally upgraded my fries to be sweet potato fries while my boyfriend d kept the traditional fries. Both were good but the sweet potato fries were much crispier and just overall better so if you're considering upgrading the fries, do it!!

When you go inside the restaurant you order ahead of time and they give you a number. Its decor is like a diner. I ordered the Pappas burger and mozzarella bites. Everything was very solid. I would rate the burger a 8.5. The burger was juicy and delicious. The way they cook their fries and my absolute favorite, like shoe string, very thin. I would rate the fries 9/10. The mozzarella bites were my favorite thing I ate, 10/10. They were served hot and probably the best I have ever had.

The burger was very large and a good deal if you are hungry! The french fries came out extremely fresh, hot and crispy, however, they were just a tad salty. The place had traditional style papas restaurant seating and offered margaritas as well. The location was great right off the busy road and easy parking access. Service was straightforward and prompt with our order.

So fun!!! had a great time with my son. Has all the teams from texas ( except Rangers because there bad). I hope Ryan Trahan reads this review for a video. It would be a dream come true!!! By the way I'm only 9 years old so that's why you see all the spelling and errors in this message. And why I'm writing to you and Papa's burgers is amazing and the food is the best. I don't know what ambience is so don't blame me bye.

This was my first visit to Pappas Burger. When we walked in you see the menus on the wall. Then you place your order at the register and then get seated. After your meal you'll pay. There were plenty of seats filled with folks and plenty of parking on a Sunday afternoon. I ordered their fried catfish sandwich with sweet potato fries and mac & cheese. The mac & cheese was an average kids mac. The fish sandwich was pretty good. I like my sweet potato fries with a glaze or powder sugar or atleast fried crispy. So when they are plain they're just ok to me. I don't have to have them or the mac again. But I will try a burger and maybe a shake.

This Houston favorite never ceases to deliver from a perfect medium rare burger, amazing fries, and onion rings, and even a chocolate shake to top it off. The only thing better than the food was the service. Although Pappas burger maybe a bit more expensive than others it definitely delivers every time.

Wonderful burger and shake options off the Grand Boulevard Westheimer. Pappas is known for their service and staff here has it together. Straight up modern Americana-type diner.

I enjoyed my visit here! The burger was good quality. Lots of parking available too. My burger was a bit too decadent for me (very cheesy and eggy) so I might not get the same one again but it was really tasty. The fries were great too and the service was really attentive. Three different waiters came to check on us while we dined here!

Service was quick, you order at the counter but you have a server that brings you your food and gets you anything else you need. My boys and I ate here and we got some fried pickles, buffalo bites with Asian sauce and their homemade blue cheese (which is to die for) and some mozzarella bites. So yummy. The fried pickles are one of my favorites and they give you some fried jalapeños too! We all got shakes too, Oreo, chocolate and my favorite, peanut butter. They come in cute diner style shake glasses! We all got a different burger and sweet potato fries, regular fries and onion rings. You can get half and half of whatever you'd like. Everything was so fresh and delicious! Cute dinner style restaurant with stools to sit up front and plenty of parking . I highly recommend this place!

Don't really get the hype behind this burger place. The burgers were huge, some of the biggest I've seen, came with fries too. However the patty itself was pretty bland and not very juicy. Even with the toppings, the burger was lacking flavor. Ended up paying $23 for the meal and taking half of it home.

It was a casual burger & fries kinda place Food was good but not outstanding Service- now the server Nick that we had was great. Very personable and friendly. The front counter girl needs some re-training. Spoke the the manager about that situation. We love Pappas restaurants but this was not at the top of their lists.

Service was great, along with the hamburger. But I was very disappointed. The Greek salad had changed to a Mediterranean salad that added falafel.(that I don't like.) along with sprouts(that I care less about) along with Shrinkflation of the portion. Wow, would you mess with one of the best Greek salads around?

Large meals, a little pricey, but worthwhile given the size. They no longer serve chicken fried steaks. Burgers of course are premium and excellent! Tried their fried chicken on a salad most recently - was better than expected. Higher quality chicken, lightly battered and friend, did not feel greasy. May be they use a higher quality frying oil, change it more often. Tables seem placed a little too closely together. I don't understand waiting in line to place the order, then once seated having someone come to the table to double check it - slightly annoying quirk.

Good: Portion Size and taste of food was great. I had the fish and shrimp. Super filling! Bad: The service. I was cool until my waiter brought out the food. When he sat the plate down, it knocked my shrimp onto the table.... I asked him could I get a replacement, he told me to eat it off the table. At the end of the day, it's something I'm paying for.

Woooooooow!!! 5's. Thanks to Marquis and Gage who assisted with me ordering, they asked all the right questions. Doris (the burger architect) orchestrated the monument. Austin (KM) ensured all points of service was on the exceeded. In my Arnold Schwarzenegger voice "I'll Be Bach"

You can tell they source their beef from the steakhouse. Incredibly juicy and flavorful patty cooked perfectly to requested temperature. No need for heavy seasoning or toppings with the beef is this good. Onion rings are obviously not frozen. Excellent as well. Sat at the counter and got great service from Avery who was very friendly. Shake was good too. I'll be back whenever I'm in Houston.

This is clearly the place to be on a Friday night! Come early if you intend on having a weekend dinner because the parking lot fills up quickly, and the place gets packed. If you're going to dine at Pappas burgers, you must get a milkshake. The peanut butter and Oreo milkshakes were the stars of the show. The veggie burgers are of better quality here than most places. The patties are homemade, and they use almonds and cranberries. Pro tip: we switched out the mozzarella cheese with pepper jack cheese and added fresh jalapenos! Each burger comes with a side, and our waitress recommended we do half fries and half onion rings. The portions of the sides are also humongous, so plan to share or have leftovers. While we largely enjoyed our experience dining here, a big pain point was the temperature of the food. Our mozzarella bites and fried pickles/jalapenos were room temperature at best. Fried food should be served nice and hot! And beware of the salt content in the food - the fried pickles had too much, the fries and mozzarella bites had none.

This location has really went down hill- $20 a burger and lack of attention to detail and tons of extra charges with out mention of extra cost is bad business. - of the 4 burgers made- 3 were not prepared correctly - service slow - fries were way undercooked and soaked in greese... limp grease sticks - bacon cold like it was hours a head and half ass put on bun

My favorite burger in Houston. Big chunk of beef, just the right amount of pepper, lettuce, tomatoes, pickle and mustard. Epic! Perfect house cut skinny fries. Cool tap beer. Milkshakes. Next to Pappas Brothers Steakhouse, one of the best in Houston serving 100% prime, dry aged and other top steaks, not surprising this is excellent. One of my go to spots in the Galeria.

Dropped in to Pappas burger for a weekday lunch. Wasn't crowded, and didn't have to deal with a line. Parking was easy and got a spot right in the front! We ordered at the counter right when we walked in, and were given our recipe to find a table. I ordered the Mushroom swiss burger (subbed my bun for romaine wrap) and sweet potato fries. For my starter I ordered the wings (bare) with sauce on the side. When we sat down, a waiter approached to confirm our order and ask us what we wanted to drink. I don't really understand the point of this kind of service.. but our waiter was polite so I went with it. Our food took way way way too long to come out. I had to go to the counter and ask how much longer it would be, as I had a meeting I was going to miss. They apologized for the wait and the food came out shortly after. The food itself was delicious.... the price for the food was NOT. I am not sure if I will be back to pay $25+ for a burger and fries. We were taken back by going to get burgers for lunch and ending up with a $70 meal (with tip).

Busy as always. Our server was nice and attentive. Burgers were nice & juicy and fries were delish. Them onion rings are OMGEEEEE good! Spicy and perfect with ranch. Will most definitely be going back for those. I would have given it 5 stars, however I feel that management failed every single patron and employee while we were there. How and why? The why is because of a couple of what came across as self entitled customers. The first set was two adults and I believe 6 children, ranging from ages 4-12. If you have ever been to Pappa's, there's a huge sign in parking lot that says 'Entrance Only' and the exist out of the parking lot is on the other side of the building. It is not a very wide driveway. And it sports it's own 'Exit Only' sign. What do this peeps do? They park on the car exit driveway. Most cars were able to exit, however, as we were leaving ourselves, there was a Hummer(wide vehicle) trying to figure out how to leave because the big SUV was blocking the exit driveway. The manager did peaked out the door before we left and did nothing about it when he should have done something about it. The second set of customers sat at the other larger table as they were a party of 6(4 adults and 2 children). The smaller child was in a big stroller and a high chair was brought to them before their food came out. Instead of leaving the stroller where it was, where there was plenty of room, behind the high chair, the young mother moved the stroller in to the other side of the table in front of the door, one of the two doors that serve as exits. Once again management did nothing about it. If a fire Marshall would have come In, they would have most likely observed that having a stroller in front of one of the only two exits available posed a fire hazard for evacuation in case of an emergency inside the restaurant. Really not sure what these people were thinking.
