Hadn't been here in 27 years and the food is still as tasty as I remember.
I believe the place was also featured in the TV series "Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives" with Guy Fieri.
The place still reminds me of an old country cafe... but no more groceries lol.
The staff is amazing, helpful & friendly!

Outstanding greasy food, featured on DD&D! It's within a stone's throw of downtown Houston. In fact if you're in midtown you can easily walk there. We had no idea this place existed and just happened to be driving by. Go check it out!

The food was delicious.... We arrived late on a Sunday, closed at 3pm and we arrived at 1:30ish. Staff was kind and the location is kind of hidden in a neighborhood near mid town . We ate outside and the atmosphere was great. Though it was in the 90s there was plenty of shade . I had a Cheeseburger and fries on the side The size is decent but the taste of the meat was flavored and seasoned very well. Fries were crispy and fried just right. Not oily nor soggy. Also my wife had onion rings , buffalo chicken sandwich , and my daughter a kids meal chicken tenders. Kids meals are like lunch special size . The chicken was also fried very well , The food was served hot so we had to wait a bit to eat. Restaurant style not fast food so keep that in mind , priced fair and a little on the high side . My family , wife , and I enjoyed this place and food.

This is an update to accompany my first review. We loved Lankford's SO much that we went back again about two weeks later when traveling back through Houston, Texas on our way home to Florida from a trip out to Arizona. Again, it was incredible!!! This time I had the Thursday special which was a huge portion of Chicken Fried Steak covered in white country gravy!! It came with equally delicious sides of loaded mashed potatoes, a side salad with their homemade Bleu cheese dressing and some Texas toast. My husband opted for the buffalo chicken sandwich and a side of onion rings on this visit. He said it was very, very good!! I also enjoyed the fresh lemonade and topped everything off after sitting a spell (to make some room!!) with a dish of their out of this world peach cobbler!! ALL was delicious!! We'll be visiting Lankford's again, you can count on that!! Thank you Jessica for keeping this fantastic restaurant going in your family and thank you to Tessa who waited on us both times!!! Everyone that works at Lankford's was helpful and kind!! God bless you all.
Incredible! I'm flat out serious, the burger was THAT good!!!
I had the Grimm burger with bacon and Mac n' cheese on the bottom of the burger, then the hamburger patty which was topped with jalapenos, tomato and an over easy fried egg topped it all off before being covered with the top bun. It was Ahhhhmazing!!!!
My husband had The Texan which had a big juicy burger with a cut in half sausage link, barbecue sauce, an onion ring plus his choice of cheese. He said that was the best burger he's had in years!!! Mine was too!!!

Saturday afternoon outing to Lankford Grocery. Prompt and polite service. Menus and drinks were taken care of quickly. Order was handled quickly, food was delicious.
My boy is a patty melt world champion 4x over and he declared his Lankford Grocery patty melt the G.O.A.T.
I have been eating various burgers for almost half a century and my Cuban Burger made my taste buds sing.
Mac and Cheese bites were top notch.
Good atmosphere and good food. Highly recommend.

First time eating here and it quickly became one of my favorite burger joints. I ordered the Grim Burger Burger and WOW!!! It was delicious. The onion rings were a win too!! One small set back, it took forever to get our ticket. I wouldike to say they were extremely busy or the server was just overwhelmed. We will definitely visit again and I'm sure we will get better service.

Top notch burgers and sandwiches. Tried the firehouse burger - oh yes it's spicy ???????????? but oh so good. It's one huge burger. Curly fries were seasoned just right and didn't need any sauce help. Fish sandwich breading had oats and stuff and was substantial! Service was very good, doggo even had a water bowl brought to her.

I had the firehouse burger and it was hands down the juiciest most amazing burger I have ever had. The habanero mustard was amazing!!! If you like a little heat this is a must try. The staff are next level friendly and helpful. If you’re ever in Houston and want to try the most amazing burgers on the planet I highly recommend you try this place.

Everything we ordered was fantastic! Fresh, and very tasty. The dining area was clean, and decorated for Christmas. All of the staff was helpful and courteous. We ordered the Frito Pie Burger, Patty Melt, Pimento Cheese Burger, Grilled Cheese and the BLT. The onion rings were so good! Great dining experience, I highly recommend!
