While service continues to get slower and slower, and burger doneness is a toss-up, there’s no doubt these are amazing burgers. Wednesday slider happy hour is worth it- they’re great!
Annette WilliamsSeptember 6, 2014Went to Bernie's Burger Bus for the first time today & they did not disappoint! The food was delicious! I had The Principal with bacon and the truffle fries it was delicious! I can't wait to go back!
EaterApril 18, 2013These burgers are served out of an old school bus, and accordingly have names like "The Principal" and "The Bully." All patties are made with a custom Black Angus grind and homemade condiments.
Natalie DiazMarch 17, 2019Ask for their secret menu! They have keto friendly meals and also creative burgers such as the Mac N Cheetos and the popusas burger. I already want to come back
Daniel OrozcoDecember 1, 2015Easily my favorite burger place in Houston. "Truffle" parm fries are dope. Burger was amazing. Looking forward to going back. Up there with Hopdoddys!
Andy GastauerDecember 24, 2016Great paleo and gluten free options. It can get a bit pricey as you pay separate for fries. But a great option to entertain your non paleo friends too.
B. LewisFebruary 14, 2015The "Show & Tell" Fries- hand cut fries layered with goat cheese, crispy pecan smoked bacon, chipotle blackberry bbq sauce, pickled red onions, & scallions. Only the secret menu.
Kara BrookeSeptember 21, 2012I had been wanting to grab lunch here; after all, who can resist the allure of a food truck! Their fries are pure magic! And the ketchup? Otherworldly! A small is enough for two people, too.
NicoleJune 30, 2015Everything here is great, but it is even more special when it's lobster season and their menu is expanded. Their lobster roll is to die for!
CDGAugust 4, 2015The place stays true to its theme. However, the fact that the burgers are good and an order of fries comes with more than you could ask for, it is a little on the pricey side.
Quick service (once you're seated), same delicious burgers as the bus, awesome truffle fries and solid booze selection. Great concept, good execution.
Vlad DavidiukJune 11, 2016One of the best - Top 5 - burgers in Houston. The "drunk onions" on the burger are heavenly.
Hubert LawMay 3, 2014Try the Homeroom Burger (bacon, fried egg, tipsy onions, chili aioli) and add some truffle fries with green onions & parmesan on the side!
Michael BellAugust 26, 2017One of Houston's better burgers, provided you keep it simple. Very pricy, kinda overhyped. Service can be spotty. Definitely try the various smothered fries!
Divya MulanjurDecember 20, 2014So good!! The substitute was excellent. You should probably add mayo to it when you order. And the fries are to die for !- Mandi BMay 29, 2020Lunch Lady Fries, Burgers and Shakes! So sad that they will no longer be open after this Sunday 😢 gonna have to swing by and grab some lunch lady fries, for old times sake.
Aaron DavisAugust 18, 2016The burgers are good. But, it's on the pricy side. I ordered "the Principal" and an ice tea. $16 after the tip. I would have tipped over $20 for lunch, if I had ordered fries. Not worth it.
oliviaMarch 22, 2015The exchange student is really good if you want to try a unique burger!!!! I also love the surrounding so edgy!!!!
Robin JonesJune 18, 2015My burger was excellent (The Cheerleader), but the ketchup was weird... almost like marinara. The truffle fries were good, but I'd probably try something else next time.
Megan ImperoAugust 10, 2011I have yet to be disappointed with anything on the menu! Add tipsy onions to your burger! SO good! And the truffle fries are unbelievable!
Paola 😄😊😁😱December 6, 2015Lobster Roll and Lobster Poutine--both market price--are available only on first Friday of every month.

Reed StewartJuly 7, 2014Once you get a table the service is quick and friendly. Try the truffle Parmesan fries
Jay VOctober 13, 2011Amazing burgers and truffle fries, shame that the Lizzard is such a lame place to eat it at (ants all over the outside tables for a start).
Like the food truck, but with air conditioning and chairs! The burgers are less greasy because they don't come wrapped up in their own juices.- Houston PressNovember 20, 2014The chilli cheese fries are made with housemade chili, melted cheddar, and fiery chipotle aioli. Delicious.
Elizabeth PhamMarch 26, 2011The truffle fries are a must have with every meal!! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu :) haven't been disappointed yet
Best burgers in Houston!!!!!!!! Try the bison burger with goat cheese
Luis CastanedaJuly 12, 2014Honor roll fries are a great alternative if you can't decide on a burger.
Jeff SyptakNovember 20, 2012Enjoying the Honor Roll Fries. Brisket, fries, cheese, and green onions. They are very tasty and fulfilling.- Allen ArcadeJune 30, 2012This sloppy burger may not look like much but the egg buns holds it together. Eat it!
- Allen ArcadeJuly 13, 2014The burgers are less messy and greasy served on a plate than from wrapped paper in a greasy bag from the bus.
Taufiq HeliosMay 7, 2014i'm from malaysia. my friend here brought me to try the burger. it was AWESOME!- Kara BrookeDecember 7, 2012May sound silly, but I do not like the bus without the chalkboard menu. Otherwise, you can't go wrong with Bernie's.
Jackie LuoMarch 30, 2015Not bad! I got the lamb burger, which was sweeter than I expected, but I'd be willing to return and try again.
T.s. WilliamsApril 14, 2016Had a principal no cheese as all burgers have cheese. Burger was loosely packed and too thin making for dry burger. The fries were ok but catsup was disgusting like a tomato candy. Total over $17+tip
Kyle GalbraithSeptember 22, 2011The amount of fries they give you is a ton, so split the fries. And get the substitute.
Craig CJuly 4, 2014Visited there today and waited 45 minutes. My wife is 8 months pregnant and it was a long time to stand. We had to leave before trying out the food. Will try again. Be ready to wait.
Ashley EDecember 13, 2012Loveeeeeeeeeeee there Burgers & those fries w/the green onions and cheese.......... # THE BEST
Be sure to ask for your burger to be cooked to a certain temperature. They tend to be well done if you don't specify otherwise.
