    One of the top burgers in the city. Fresh ground beef, hand-formed thick patties, seasoned and seared to perfect crispiness on a hot flattop. Hand-cut fries, fried twice as they should be. 🍔

    Hangover is in the name.. The big and juicy beef burger comes topped with a hunk of grilled ham, blackened bacon, hand-cut fries, and cream gravy. Read more

    Burgers you should try: the sticky burger with peanut butter, the Philly cheesesteak burger and the hand cut fries. Beware of the small space, though, it's tiny in there. [Eater 38 Member]

    The owner was pleasant and provided excellent customer. I ordered the Greek burger it was one of the best burgers I've had. If I was from Houston I would eat there frequently!

    Try Owner Ricky Craig's famous fusion burgers (Philly cheesesteaks and muffulettas are just two sandwiches he's transformed into fantastic burgers).

    Found this place online; read a lot of good reviews. The food exceeded our high expectations. We got here after lunch rush, so it wasn't crowded; it's small so I see how it could easily be crowded.

    Ask whether there are any "off-menu" specials. If they have the green hatch chile burger, get it!! Perfect amount of heat.

    Only thing that sucks is that it's so far from me and it's only open from 11am - 3pm. But man it's delicious!

    Inside had limited seating at a diner bar. The seat by the window its reserved for 3 people. But there are covered seats outdoors, so come even if it is raining.

    The fries and Greek burger were good. The sticky burger was interesting, but had a fairly long hair hanging off one end so I didn't finish it. Man at counter gave me $5 back.

    Owner is a prick was rude to a handicap customer when asked why he didn't have a ramp, there's signs all over the place telling customers were to or not sit, limited space. Never going back for sure.
