Joy Love Burgers — Restaurant in Houston

I ordered the Cheeseburger and the 6-piece hotwings with a drink. I paid $25. This was my first time. Positive notes first. This place is about quality. The burger patty was well-seasoned, had a nice crispy skin with a great char flavor. It had plenty of shredded lettuce with the right amount of mayonase, nice, ripe tomatoes sliced just the right thinness. And the bun was well suited to both the size and relative wetness of the burger. As far as taste, it is somewhere between a Whataburger and something you might grill at home. Given the size of the burger, I very much enjoyed it. The wings were hot and well-done, perfectly coated in hot sauce (probably Franks). They tasted great, were very crispy, and pretty large comparatively speaking. I was very full when done and it was more food than what I needed. On the negative side, the beef was just a bit too salty for my taste and although the bun held up very well, the last two or three bites got a bit messy. The wings are heavily battered, which makes for a really nice crunchy texture, but it can be a lot. I found myself picking a lot of it off. Finally, at $10+ for each order, it is just too expensive for what you get. It is definitely a good quality burger and wings, but it's an $8 burger and wings, not $10. Otherwise, it would be a four star rating. I will definitely be going back for the double-cheese and to explore the rest...

First off I'd like to say the bbq burger was VERY good, fries and sweet potato fries were good. Fried catfish was pretty good. But I didn't leave completely satisfied. First, I had a hard time ordering my fish and chips. I asked for Cajun fish and chips 3 piece. And they cashier looked at me like she had no idea what I was saying. I repeated a couple more times and eventually she had me point to a picture on the menu. I specified multiple times I wanted Cajun. I even said spicy.

30 minutes go by and people who have ordered before us have gotten their food long ago and almost finished their meal. I go up to the counter to ask, and the cashier says that our order was never sent to the kitchen. Idk how it's possible to be charged for food and I saw her type it in the system, yet it was never sent to the kitchen. The food was ready 5 minutes after that. However, the salad that came with my fish was just iceberg lettuce and a tomato, no salad dressing. There was also no sauce for the fish, and the fish weren't Cajun, just regular.

I've heard great things about this place and I just hope it was a fluke day. I think I would just stick to the burgers from now on. Our burger...

The ambiance and customer service were amazing! It was very clean and I really appreciate how the drink station was organized and wasn’t a sticky mess. I also think they are a Christian restaurant, because they had some pictures of Jesus on the wall, which I loved!! I’ve been twice and I ordered two different things on the menu. The portions were good too, I think I got my money’s worth in terms of quantity.

I had their regular cheeseburger and their Cajun wings. They were honestly ok. I feel the only thing that’s missing from both is more seasoning. I really like how crunchy the wings were, but the flavor wasn’t there in the meat nor in the batter they coat it with. The curly fries were good though!

As for the burger, they didn’t skimp on the meat, but it also wasn’t too much meat, which I personally like. It was a good balance between bun, meat, and other toppings. Their regular fries aren’t anything special. I would say that they could add maybe some season salt to jazz them up a bit.

All in all, I think they definitely have potential...
