The "Origional "with cheese -Delicious!!!
by katyantill

Yum!! Yum!! The '"Origional" with cheese is the way to go....so different than a regular burger....My parents had the same exact burger 50 years ago at the old location on Main street. The onion rings are the best! Service on Southwest Freeway location is VERY fast and is very kid friendly. Love it! Refreshing to have an origional icon still here in Houston!

I stopped in here when visiting Houston recently. I was actually looking for the Burger Shack, but I found this place on the way. They have excellent malts and really good food overall. I can't say that the burger was the best ever, but it was thick and juicy, just the way it should be.
- Pros: Malts
- Cons: None
Decent food for the price

I went here for a quick weekday lunch. I ordered the Smitty with the fries and onion rings. The burger was pretty dry and the fries and rings were a bit soggy. But I will say that the food came out very quickly and is pretty decent for the price. I'd come here again if I was in the mood for some good ol' greasy food.
- Pros: fast service
- Cons: not the best burger I've had
Original Fish Sandwich
by digita6875clcn

I used to eat at Prince's when I was a child. I always ate an Open Trout Sandwich. This was Texas toast, trout, tarter sauce and fries. So when it said original fish sandwich I had to try it. It was very good, but it was on a bun, not an open face sandwich and no Texas toast. A small amount of tarter sauce on sandwich. I do not think the fish was trout. Again the food was very good, the fish was excellent, the price was right, but the original sandwich it was not.
I did not even realize they still had Prince's in Houston. It was a fun evening for my son and I . I guess I could not have expected the same sandwich as in the 50's, but I did love it so. I wish it could be the same.

I was reading up about this place, and found that it was also ranked number 3 for hotdogs.It also had raved reviews with how delicious the burgers were. Me and my girlfriend ordered two original burgers with there famous sauce. They messed up the order terribly, neither had the sauce, and I had ordered a double, and they screwed that up too. Not a big deal until i bit into my burger and realized it tasted like completely cheap meat. The fries that came with it were a limited amount, and soft. I also ordered a hot dog, and I think Ive eaten better hot dogs at movie theatres. Im surprised it has so many praised reviews.

A friend dragged my here, against my better judgement. Well, I'm glad she did. Our kids had lots of fun, the food was great and the service was good too. I have no complaints!
Try the Alamo Burger!!!
- Pros: Yummy & Fun
- Cons: No waiters
Best Value Hands Down
by burgerlover777

I have eaten at several burger joints here around Houston and honestly have not met a match to Prince's.
They are the only TRUE old fashioned burger still around. I took my grandmother to the Katy Frwy location and she told me the Original and the hand-breaded onion rings still taste exactly like they did 50 years ago.
Thank you Prince's for continuing to serve the best burgers in Houston. If you are straving you won't be after a visit to Prince's.
- Pros: Best Value in town
- Cons: not enough locations
tough and tasteless
by burgersandfries

prince's claims they use fresh ground Certified Angus Beef. that's a lie, straight up. i ate at their katy freeway location yesterday in the mid afternoon. i had the third pound Old Timer w/cheese. the meat patty was small for a "third pound", was your typical processed, frozen meat patty (how they find the nerve to pass this off as fresh ground is beyond me), and was tough. it was flavorless and generally unappetizing. and if this wasn't bad enough; they have what appears to be repeatedly washed (or maybe not washed at all) heinz ketchup bottles at the booths that are filled with something that is CERTAINLY NOT heinz ketchup. sixteen plus dollars for two burger, fry, and drink meals...go to burger king.
can't get enough

I can eat here everyday and not get tired of the fabulous hamburgers. They are consistantly fresh, well seasoned, well cooked and perfect. The mixture of all the ingredients is in perfect proportion to make an awesome burger. the fries are crispy and tasty and the onion rings are to rave about. Great job Stiles for managing the place so well.
- Pros: the best burger in town
- Cons: sometimes too many kids
great late nite quick bite to eat
by missorenishii

great place to go if you're really hungry and want a late nite quick bite to eat. the ambience has a nostalgic 50s fast-food joint decor - somewhat laid-back and "come as you are" feel. the food is decent, nothing really spectacular, but like i said, it'll satisfy your palette when you're really hungry.*
- Pros: decent food when you're really hungry
- Cons: ambience
