Lankford Grocery & Market

Fun little burger joint in the middle of town. It's held onto its old school charm even as all the condos and apartments around it have been modernized. Burgers are pretty good with combos you normally wouldn't find. The one with Mac and cheese is surprisingly good and the brisket burger is VERY filling. Southwest burger is also good. For me the most "boring" burger was the double cheeseburger, it just tasted a little plain compared to other burgers I've had.

I've been here twice and each time the food has been to my liking. I've had a burger and a chicken sandwich a long with onion rings curly fries tatortots and I've ordered the fried pickles both times. The fried pickles are so darn good. They're always crispy and coated well. The burger I got was a normal bacon cheeseburger with and egg. They're pretty big so honestly if you're trying to eat "healthy" one is enough for two people. I got the California chicken sandwich with the cilantro dressing on the side. The dressing is very good but the chicken was heavily seasoned with mostly just black pepper and it was very overpowering. I probably would ask them for less pepper if I ordered it again. The fries have all been crispy so I really enjoy that. It's a small restaurant so seeting can be hard during peak times. They do have out door seating but during this hot weather you have to avoid it. Would probably be a better experience to sit outside during cooler weather. The three days of the year that we have some. I haven't eaten enough dishes to decide if this is a must eat spot however I would definitely come back to keep trying other dishes and that alone speaks volumes. I wanted to add they're currently not accepting cards however they have pretty much all other payment methods available like zelle venmo paypal just to mention a few so this shouldn't be an issue.

Most people know about the delicious burgers and tater tots at Lankford’s but they also have a great breakfast! When it’s good weather out, we walk over on the weekends and have breakfast on the dog friendly patio. The staff is always very friendly and the food is great! The avocado toast is tasty and I love the biscuits and gravy.

I love this place! I love that the building and atmosphere isn’t updated but it’s well maintained. It feels cozy and comfortable and we’re not even talking about the food yet. Everything I’ve eaten there is delicious. I feel like you can’t go wrong there. The employees are so nice, too. Always look forward to going here.

Established in 1937, Lankford grocery is a family owned Houston staple that has been featured on Diners, drive-ins, and dives with Guy Fieri. While there is a vast selection of burgers, you can also come for breakfast to try out dishes ranging from huevos rancheros to biscuits and gravy. While this place was formerly cash only, I can report that they are now accepting cards. Food: There are several favorites, but I came for the firehouse burger. With their house made habanero sauce, patties drizzled in cayenne butter, and ample sliced jalapeños this burger brings the heat! If that's what you enjoy, then this burger is for you. This burger is discussed on the guy fieri episode. People have described the heat bringing tears of joy🥲 🔥 Service: Top notch and friendly. Very personal. Atmosphere: The building is charming with its slanted walls and sagging beams. I would consider this fitting the dive category. It's an old structure for sure, but there is also decent outdoor seating. It's clean and well kept with nice comfy decor.

This place is a must when in downtown! The dining area is small so there may be a wait but the burgers make up for it big time! The s waitresses were very attentive and friendly. I had the Grim Burger. Loved it! There was just so much flavor going on there, every bite was amazing! I will definently be going back soon! One more thing, they now take cash!!!
