What People Are Saying About Fuddruckers

Featured Review

Contributor

In Short – Red-shirted, black-bibbed attendants serve grilled burgers made from freshly ground beef, turkey, salmon, and even ostrich sandwiched by buns that are baked in-house daily. Hungry patrons gussy up the meat at a condiment bar stocked with lettuce, tomatoes, jalapenos and a variety of sauces, then take a seat at tables topped with a black-and-white checkered tablecloths. Sides of cole slaw, baked beans and wedge-shaped fries complete the picture.

Great Burgers, Poor Management!

by londie1

I love Fuddruckers, I think they are one of the best burger places in Houston..outside of Beck's Prime. The toppings at this location are always fresh and well stocked...this is the most exciting part. The fries are great too. Be sure to visit the Fuddruckers website and sign up for their specials, this will allow you to catch a deal here and there since their meals are a little on the pricey side. The only thing really bad about this location is the management in my opinion, not friendly or fair. If you have a problem, forget it, you will have better luck working out your issues with the staff than the management. If you go to the staff and they have to clear something by the manager, consider yourself doomed. It's rare I have ever needed the manager, I normally have a problem free dining experience; however, the manager at this location can sure ruin a good meal. Other than that, everything is great.

  • Pros: Burgers have flavor, Unlimited toppings, Clean Restaurant
  • Cons: Management, Prices

So So Burger and Not a Good Value

by cougaboutown

You know the drill by now. You go to the counter and order your burger. They let you know when it's done and you pick it up. Then you hit the condiments and add what you like. For this you pay 3x McDonalds or Burger King? There are only so many ways to make a burger. If I'm essentially in a self service situation I really don't think it's compelling that I can add all the pickles I want.

  • Pros: fresh meat, can add your own toppings
  • Cons: not a good value

Average Burger

by JCCJR

I've eaten at Fuddruckers in various locations roughly 15 times. The restaurants are always meticulously clean. The ordering approach is quick and the Burger fixings are above average. You essentially dress your own burger after it is cooked. Those are the good points. On the negative side we have the following:

1. You can't order a rare burger. Medium is the limit.

2. The meat is average, although the portions are large.

3. The exotic burgers including Buffalo and Ostrich are poor. Multiple times the meat has had a tainted taste.

So for a burger - Fuddruckers is way overrated. It is at best upscale average.

Fix the Locks on the Restroom Doors!

by susanne2

Fuddrucker's use to make their own buns, but no longer! The worst part is that the restrooms are not clean and the doors do not lock! I have reported this several times but nothing is done about it. Guess the City of Houston needs to hear about the conditions of the rest rooms. The prices are out of sight. Sometimes they give you a senior discount and sometimes they don't.

  • Pros: Parking fine
  • Cons: Rest rooms do not have locks on doors.
