Little Bitty Burger Barn, Houston TX

Update: I posted this 4 years ago. I haven't been in a long time because we are trying not to eat out as much. Today we went and the burger and chicken patties are definitely smaller and the prices have gone up. The lettuce wrap is just two pieces of lettuce on both sides of the burger making the whole thing very messy. Quality has definitely gone down. I miss the little red barn they used to be in, when quality was good.

This place is amazing. Small, quick, fresh, homely. I will be back often. I got the Phoenix with tater tots.

I tried the 1/2 pound stuffed with jalapeños and pepper jack. I left stuffed. They know how to make big juicy burgers, that are delicious. Thanks for not wasting my time and money.

Meat tasty, buns pretty ordinary. My friend loves it here and insisted we go together. I would go back only with her, not on my own.

I’m not sure who rated this the “best burger in Houston” but they were insane.

This burger was disgusting. It was completely over-cooked to the point it was crunchy. It tasted like if someone who was inexperienced at grilling made you a burger at your family reunion. Like you could taste the grill in it and it wasn’t pleasant. Having bacon on it? Couldn’t even tell. A few crunched up tiny pieces of bacon on there… Might as well have left it off.

The fries were inedible and gross. You could tell they were old.
The only redeeming factor is that the root beer here is really good.

Now for the grand finale, as I was checking out (I mean LITERALLY as I finished typing in my pin number) a ROACH CRAWLED ACROSS THE COUNTER. I should’ve asked for a refund right then and there, but no I wanted to give “the best burger” a chance. The roach probably had more flavor and deliciousness than the burger did.

$30 down the drain. I DO NOT RECOMMEND.

Eat there three times last week. It's DAMN GOOD FOOD! It's probably the best burger in houston. Prices are perfect.

I can take hot. I’m known for being able to eat anything spicy but I was not able to finish the 5 minute hottest burger in Texas competition. Wow! Just wow! That burger is next level hot!

I ordered the Greek Burger with Truffle Fries. I loved it! The truffle fries could have been a little less salty but that's my personal taste.

I'll definitely be back again to try their other burgers sometime!

My only complaint - I think when I went, their AC was broken. They had a lot of fans up to keep the inside cool. It was a little warm dining in but not intolerable. Other than that, this place gets a perfect rating from me.

Food was amazing! 1/2 lb. Patty on point- juicy and charbroiled. Fresh lettuce, tomatoes and onions. Crispy bacon. Jalapeño bun soft and sweet. Fries are homemade, saw the delivery guy dropping off boxes of whole Idaho potatoes.
I would definitely come back except We are from San Antonio visiting. Have not experienced a burger place like this back home:/
This place did not disappoint. ;)

Surprised that the burger was so flavorful and tasty. Strong candidate for best burger I've had in Houston.

Honorable mention: they have stubborn pineapple cream soda which I never had before but was an immediate winner

Fantastic burgers! Reminds me so much of my all-time favorite burger place in KCMO. These were a gift to me tonight!
Thumbs up for the sweet potato fries, jalapeño-stuffed burger, kid burgers, and the Cowboy burger!

Ordered hamburgers for me and my dad for pickup from here the other day after checking out the good reviews. And they did not lie. We both enjoyed our dinner. The onion rings were the best I have had in a long time. It was busy when I arrived but the line moved quickly. We will be back to try other items.

Wow! Can't believe I waited so long to try this place. If you want a real homestyle burger this is your spot. I had the ultimate jalapeno burger and was extremely satisfied. They make their own fries also. Definitely a must try spot on the north west side

I thought the food was good. But I found a long, black, curly hair inside the burger meat.
I won’t go and I won’t recommend this place again

Great burger at a really great price! The meat was tasty and the toppings were fresh. The fries were just ok but certainly not bad. I wanted to try a classic the first time but the more specialty burgers did look good too.

This 10 million Scoville burger is the ultimate challenge for spice lovers

If you want a spicy challenge this is it.
They give you gloves so the spice wont burn your hands. You have 7 minutes to eat the entire burger. Any sauce that drops off you have to eat as well. No liquids allowed at all. Even if you finish early you have to sit and suffer for the full 7 minutes.

I took on this burger.
Let me tell you spice is no joke. By the 3rd bite my body was already hiccupping and burping from the spice. By the time I was 4-5 bites in my face was already sweating. By half way through I was in a fair amount of pain. I got down to the last few bites and I was shaking in pain. As I finished the burger I could feel the spice coming out via my tears. I had finished the burger with 2 minutes to spare. However an amount of the juicy spice had dripped out. I was told I had to eat what fell out to be a winner. I threw in the towel at that point. The pain only grew from then. I chugged 5 glasses of ice water. Holding the ice in my mouth as long as I could stand to numb the pain. The pain was so great I could not speak. After some time I was able to walk only to go outside and vomit. I spent the next 12 hours in agony. Every time the sauce hit a new part of my GI track the pain, sweat would return. If I dare move it would slosh around and burn some more. I spent at least 6 hours on the toilet fearing the 2nd wrath of the burger. It took my stomach over 48 hours to recover. I failed this challenge. 10/10 do not recommend.
