JLB Eatery — Restaurant in Houston

I recently tried JLB Eatery on Stella Link and I’ve got to say—I was pleasantly surprised. I’ve heard about the place from friends who love a good, oversized burger, and now I totally understand the hype. This place knows how to do comfort food right.

First of all, the portions are no joke. I ordered their Crazy Burger, and wow... it was massive! It’s got two big Angus beef patties, bacon, grilled onions, cheese, and a mix of sauces—all stacked between their homemade buns (which are soft, fresh, and super tasty). Honestly, I couldn’t even finish the whole thing in one sitting. It’s definitely a “come hungry or take some home” kind of meal.

Their menu isn’t just burgers either. I noticed a solid variety—chicken sandwiches, wraps, shrimp, wings, even dessert options like funnel cake fries and chocolate mousse. You can tell they take pride in the food they serve, and a lot of it is made in-house, which I always appreciate. I also got a side of onion rings, and while they were crispy and golden, I found them a little heavy on the batter. Still good, just a bit too much for me.

The vibe inside is casual and cozy. It’s a seat-yourself kind of spot, and the décor is simple but welcoming. The chalkboard menu and kitchen-style signs give it a nice hometown diner feel. The staff was friendly and helpful when I had questions about the menu, and they made me feel comfortable even though it was my first time there.

Now, the prices. At first glance, I thought things looked a bit pricey, but after getting my food, I realized it was worth it. The portions are huge and the quality is legit. You’re definitely getting your money’s worth, especially compared to some other burger joints that charge the same for way less food.

The only reason I’m giving JLB Eatery four stars instead of five is because a few small things could be improved. The sauces on the Crazy Burger were a little too much together—maybe just pick one instead of both Thousand Island and mayo. Also, the pickup system could be more organized. They don’t always call your name clearly, so it’s easy to miss your order if you’re not paying attention.

Overall though, I really enjoyed my visit. The food is bold, flavorful, and made with care. Whether you're in the mood for a giant burger, some shrimp, or even just a sweet snack, this spot has something to satisfy. I’ll definitely be back—maybe next time I’ll try one of their wraps or chicken sandwiches instead of attempting to conquer that Crazy Burger again!

If you're in the Stella Link area and craving something hearty, homemade, and filling, JLB Eatery is definitely...

Another update (12/24/23): my group had another private party. Bigger group than the last year’s. The owner was able to pull off large orders and everyone was happy with quality and quantity of the foods. Highly recommend for big group eating out.

UPDATED (12/25/2022): Christmas private dinner with family and friends. So many variety to choose - actually it was not tough because all of us shared everything.

UPDATED (6/2/2021): what a surprise when I adventured to order a Buffalo Ranch Chicken burger. It is a pile of chicken tenders with Buffalo ranch south and potato tot. Very flavorful and delicious. Churros is a good desert to finish the meal.

UPDATE (11/8/2020): so much fatigue to wait for the election results, I didn’t feel like cooking Saturday lunch. So I decided to take out some burgers and fries from JLB. I called ahead so that I didn’t have to wait. It was a quick in-and-out. When I opened the boxes (6 of them) at home, it looked so fantastic. We sampled a quarter per different burgers. Everyone agreed these are indeed the best burgers. Burgers are more like soul foods to me and I felt way better after all. Great job! JLB. Please keep it up.

So much delicious food ! It’s both quality and quantity. My wife and I worked on a JLB burger and still could not finish at once. Next time, I will visit empty stomach 🤗 It’s indeed the best...

I recently visited JLB Eatery on Stella Link and had an amazing experience. I ordered the Double Meat Cheeseburger with Bacon, which was perfectly cooked, juicy, and packed with flavor. The burger was massive and satisfying, making it a great choice for anyone with a big appetite. I paired it with both waffle fries and regular fries, and both were crispy and delicious.

One of the standout features of JLB Eatery is its large selection of burgers. From classic Cheeseburgers to more creative options like the Bacon Avocado Double Cheeseburger and the hearty BBQ Burger, there's something for every burger lover. If you're in the mood for chicken, they also have great options like chicken tenders and Buffalo Ranch Chicken Sandwich.

What really impressed me was the variety of fries they offer. You can choose from regular fries, curly fries, waffle fries, sweet potato fries, or go all out with their indulgent Chili Cheese Fries. Whether you're craving a classic side or something more adventurous, JLB Eatery has you covered.

Overall, it's a great spot for anyone who enjoys high-quality comfort food with plenty of options. With the demise of Bellaire Broiler Burger, this is my new go-to burger in...
