The burger was good for a lunch meal! Fries were a bit bland but they were crinkle cut and cooked great. Reason for the 4 stars is I had cooked onions on it that were just over powering and I'm picky with my fries. I would go back though if I wanted to change up my lunch choices as it was a decent burger. I definitely want to try the onion rings overall I would give the place a 4

Very good place for a burger. I will have to go back and try their other items. Owner was extremely conscious of my experience which was awesome. Old style restaurant with lots of local history. It was a little pricey, but then again I haven't had a good burger like this for a while so you get what you pay for. Definitely recommend.

I enjoyed the hickory burger and fries! I added jalapeños to my burgerand the mix of sweet and spicy was perfection. The burger was a nice size and I could only finish half. My first time here and I will definitely be back.

The other day I was at the bank and was hungry and wanted to get lunch so I looked at the Googles to see what was close. I spotted Lunch at Sam's. I thought of my brother, J. - Man, I haven't eaten there in forever. J really loves their burger. I should go have lunch there. Because I'm a stupid man it took me a minute to realize that I should call my brother and ask him to join me. Not because I needed help eating a burger, but because sharing a meal with someone is bonding and intimate and can allow for connection. He was busy. But we agreed to do it this week. Hello this week! I messaged J and we met at Lunch at Sam's on North Gessner. He stepped out of his Lexus looking like a Russian Gangster - velour tracksuit stretched over his belly and tennis shoes so white they hurt your eyes if you looked at them directly. I love my brother. I didn't take a picture of him cuz you could tell he DEFINITELY works from home on Fridays and wasn't looking his most telegenic. Although he works in IT, he is the least online person I know. I coulda prolly posted a pic and he'd never see it. But it's also why I can express how much I love him without embarrassment. (None of y'all tell him). I told ya - siblings beez weird like dat sometimes. Enough of the Family Matters (did I do that?!) We entered the restaurant and stepped back into 1954. The Americana just punches you right in the mouf! And a lot of it is tagged for sale so you can buy you a painting of a sunset or a stuffed goose or deer antlers or whatnot while you eat your burger. I ordered me a Mushroom Bacon Burger and had them add onions and jalapenos. Got a side of fried okra. Went over to the fixins bar and got some raw onion, tomaters and some "secret sauce". Some kinda mayo/ketchup/mystery spice/thousand island thingy. It's good. Me and the brother did some catching up and reminiscing and all in all had a very nice lunch. I gangster-strolled him back to his vehicle and we hugged and agreed to do lunch again soon. I'll be honest, y'all. The burger was just pretty good, but lunch today was one of the greatest meals I've had in a long while. Meals aren't always about the food. (Seriously, nobody tell him about this.)

My wife and I both had Sam’s burgers and they were good. 1/3lb angus I believe. Nothing spectacular. Pretty much similar pricing to a Whataburger and doesn’t taste a whole lot different. The fries suck, though. Upgrade to curly fries for an extra $2. They were better than the regular fries. Probably worth it. The atmosphere and vibe is really nice. Very homey. Small parking lot, but good enough. This place has stood the test of time. I imagine they’re consistent with their food.

Cozy, longtime Houston lunch spot with classic American fare and juicy burgers that many locals rave about. Generous portions and a friendly, nostalgic vibe make it worth a stop, though some fries and sides are hit‑or‑miss and prices feel slightly high. Great comfort food for lunch fans.

Came in hungry, and left full and satisfied! I’ve past by this burger spot many times, but never stopped before. I’m sure glad I did! I had the 1/2lb black angus burger, all the fixings. Now this thing is a burger! I could barely finish this beast! So fresh, so flavorful! The beef was magnificent! A bit pricey, I paid $19.64 for burger, fries, and drink. You get what you pay for though! Worth it. Cozy little restaurant. Will definitely need to come back to try a bit of everything. Looks like some good comfort foods on the menu as well.

First time being here and I gotta tell you it’s better than McDonalds and any other fast food place. Very generous also you can’t wait to come back and bring more people to try it out.
