I've lived in HTown for over 40 years and I have driven by Poppa Burger thousands of times without ever stopping. I even went to UH-Downtown in the 1980s and never ate here. Back then there was a lot of riff raff hanging around, especially at night. But after hearing so many people tell me the burgers there are great, I finally decided to see for myself. And I'm only offering my opinion of their burgers only. They have an expansive menu, but burgers are my thing. The hamburger patty is trash. They use soy as a filler in their ground beef. This is used as a cost saving technique since they are not using 100% ground beef. Soy gives the patty a distinct flavor that does not taste good IMO. Now this establishment is open 24 hours so if you have been partying late at night and you need to put something in your belly, then maybe eating this burger is for you. But if you are sober, I would stay away from this trash. But if they use soy fillers in the hamburger meat, then I'm sure their beef tacos have the same trashy meat.

Wow talk about a classic burger joint!! This small little old fashioned burger joint did not disappoint. I got off my travel path and went across town to fry this place out. I came for the cheese fries, which were amazing!!! BUUUUT THE BURGER OH MY GOOOD IT WAS SO GOOD IT TRULY IS AN OLD FASHIONED HIT YOU RIGHT IN THE SPOT BURGER!!!! AND the prices are super good. Bacon cheese burger with cheese fries and a Mexican glass coke for under $9.00 you can't beat that!!! Cash Only BTW.

The food is basic done well. I went for breakfast. Everything was made to order and priced very well. There are no frills at all but the ham breakfast taco and bacon breakfast sandwich were tasty. I like the salsa as well since it have flavor and just the right amount of heat. I don’t think the flour tortillas are fresh made, but they cooked them well enough to not really notice. The staff was super friendly and they have a nice little spot to sit outside and enjoy your food.

visited poppa burger today food is always good but this time I cannot let an incident that happened just slip. let me metion that my husbands family has been going there for over 40 years my husband was a kid when he started going he is 30 now, I mention so you know that we are regulars. today my husband placed order and like always he asked for my burger without pickels. I dislike pickles very much I dont even like any pickle juice to even touch my bread or meat so when I went back to the window because my burger had pickles she said my husband never told her we didnt want pickles so she started arguing with my husband about it she turned around and told cook to REMOVE the pickles from burger she said this in spanish thinking I didnt understand what she was saying I turned around and said No I want another burger I hate pickels in spanish! she closed the window in my face when I told her I could have removed the pickles myself! once burger was ready she called me to window as I was walking she was being very loud and said "and next time I am not going to change it because he didnt tell me that! how does this lady feel so confident when she doesnt write any of the order down my order was big for 5 people. I told her you dont write anything down how are u so sure her response " I dont need to" which my reply was abviously you do at this point I waa upset! she yelled at my husband which was sitting down eating "well obviously he forgot to metion he didnt want pickles! really lady? your going to start going at it with your customers?! you dont even own the place!! she was extremely rude I hate that we had such a bad experience since we enjoy...

Poppa Burger: A Downtown Houston Gem for Generations

Nestled in the heart of Downtown Houston, Poppa Burger isn't just a burger joint, it's a staple for the Latino community. This family-owned and operated gem has been serving up delicious American classics and tasty tacos for years, becoming a beloved spot for generations.

Heads up, cash is king at Poppa Burger! But trust me, the food is worth the ATM run.

On my recent visit, I dove into their signature Double Daddy Bacon Burger. Two juicy, perfectly seasoned patties were layered with crispy bacon, melty cheese, and all the fresh fixings. The taste was pure nostalgia, reminding me of simpler times.

To complete the experience, I grabbed a side of their onion rings. These crispy gems were spot on – similar in flavor and texture to Whataburger's, and absolutely addictive.

But Poppa Burger's charm goes beyond the food. The staff is as friendly as they come, and with their bilingual (English/Spanish) service, everyone feels welcome. Whether you're a local catching a quick bite or a visitor seeking a taste of Houston's Latino heritage, Poppa Burger is sure to leave you satisfied.

So next time you're downtown, skip the chain and head to Poppa Burger. You won't be disappointed!

The only reason I gave a 4 star rating instead of 5 on Atmosphere, is that due to the location near the Harris County jail and 24/7 service, sometimes you get some shady characters, drunks, and panhandlers. This is infrequent but keep your head...

My daughter and I was next in line We waited on line for about 10 minutes before someone came to the window We ordered the bacon cheeseburger w/ cheese fries I checked the burger I didn’t see the bacon Since my daughter ordered the food I sent her back to let the works know that there was no bacon on the burger My daughter said that the ladies started to speak aggressively over the burger in their dialect My daughter said that the lady aggressively opened the burger showed the other worker the bacon on the burger The bacon was so thin I missed it My daughter felt so uncomfortable with these two ladies and she feels like they were talking about while inspecting the burger for the bacon My daughter said that the lady handed her back the bag aggressively While continuing to talk aggressively in their dialect My daughter came back to the car and said “Mommy their so rude”My daughter is very traumatized by this experience because she’s never had anything like this happened to her she told me”mommy I wish I could understand what they were saying because I know that they was talking about me” What a horrible way to treat someone if an honest mistake was made about bacon being on a sandwich I really do wish that in the future they don’t handle people in this manner The way that they made my daughter feel I hope that no one has to ever experience that They were so...
