This place has slowly evolved from a grocery store that sold burgers in the corner to a full fledged burger joint . And yes it's that good. It's locally owned with a great selection of unique combos.

Had the Cowboy Brunch and I love everything about it except the Texas toast ???? The toast was just too big so if you can replace it with a bun it would be perfect! The Cajun fries was incredibly tasty????

Mike Bradshaw

I get 2 double burgers . That's 2 lbs of protein. Think you got what it takes to beat my time? Ask John what my latest time is and beat it for your picture on the wall. My last time was 12min 38sec.

Luisger Lopez

The Chipotle Burger is my go-to at Stanton’s. Side of regular fries and an ice cold beer . Tip: tell cashier how you want it cooked, or well-cooked will be the default. Bon appetit!

Rachel Peterson

I go the Luke Skyburger . The burger was very juicy. 4.6/5 Cajun fries were the perfect texture and the right amount of seasoning. Quick service ! Interesting ambiance. Would go back.

Kassidy Menace

Best burgers in houston ! Ask for the off-menu Luke Skyburger ! Comes with sauteed shrooms and spinach , provolone and chicken fried bacon ! Drooooool.

Jermal Sanders

The friendly service from multiple people started my 1st visit here off great and finished up with one of the best burger and fries combos I've ever had! Awesome place. Will definitely be back soon!

Courtney ????

Soo delicious! The people are so friendly , could def see this being a neighborhood favorite, I love that it's been here so long and watched houston change yet it's remained the same!

Mike Bradshaw

Everything. The people are exceptional. The double chipotle. Standby for greatness competitive eaters. Your picture could be on the wall.

Allen Arcade

Like the other tips read, try the Luke Skyburger . It's fried bacon with provolone cheese , mushrooms and sautéed spinach . A little greasy but worth the experience.

Lawrence Chang

The cowboy brunch burger is served between two buttery pieces of Texas toast . Italian fries were flavorful and fried perfectly.

Abel Sanchez

"GET CHUMMY WITH RUMMY" I've never heard of it. But the grapefruit soda is so good! Oh yeah, so is the "Spicy Chipotle" burger of course...

Eric Hochberg

This is a good place. Parking is an issue. The chili cheeseburger is HOT! Made me tear! And it drowned the taste of the burger . Good energy

Goliath Lives

Had the Luke Skyburger . Easily the best burger I've ever had hands down. Coming back tomorrow to try the Mrs. Piggie.

Ricky A

Very good burger . I came here for lunch on a work day. The rush was not too intense. Recieved my food within10 minutes. Pretty solid burger joint .

Alex Alam

Miss Piggy burger is the bomb, but you can't get it rare because of the bacon mixed into the patty. Garlic parm fries are excellent

Stephen Montellano

Despite the neighborhood and appearance this place is fantastic. Friendly staff , juicy burgers , and crisp fries . A true gem in the city .

The BigB

Worth every dime. Great food, great staff . The location has something of a parking-garage though. Please park outside and come in just for the food.

Yaser

Prob one of the best burgers and sweet potatoes fries I ever had and this is coming from a New Yorker! Must try

ali llewellyn

Burgers are unbelievably good - but ask for it to be cooked less than you want - no pink in the middle of our two medium burgers . But delicious enough we pretty much didn't care.

Michael Calderone

The Luke sky burger is pretty good, but I would go with cowboy brunch burger !

Bacon cheeseburger with the jalapeño bun ask for it

Candice Simpson

Burgers and fries are delicious! Avocado cheeseburger is the best!

Nicole

Such great cheeseburgers and soda options. Ask the owner to tell you about the history of the place. Fascinating!

Allen Arcade

Bacon + melted cheese + tots . You're welcome.

Fernando Covas

Stanton's is so good, I only wish they were open later in the evening and not close at 8pm.

Yang Wang

Hands down best burger in town . Come get your own to turn that frown upside down.

Allan John

The holy cow and the Cajun fries is a combo you've got to try

Bradley

Order one of the unique burgers . Go with tots .

Fernando Covas

Great selection of sodas . If you like root beer , try the Texas Dublin.

Andrew Alvarez

The Shroom (mushroom , bacon , and Swiss) is pretty dang good. Buns are very tasty too. Skip the fries , very mediocre.

Michelle Riley

Had the regular chili cheeseburger especially delicious!!( the owner used a spicier chili )
