I lived in neighboring briargrove for 8 years and ate at Southwells so many times I couldn't put a number on it. One thing pointed out by some posters is that the chicken sandwich (peppercorn)is GREAT! I started with burgers, but soon after only ordered the chicken sandwich once I tasted it. The burgers are fine, but on the other hand, nothing to write home about either. Way better than fast

I have no idea what you all are talking about. Southwells produces one of houstons finest hamburgers. cliffs hamburgers make me laugh. go into there kitchen and see if you would eat there again. millers is even worse and talk about a frozen patty! And smash burger nothing is fresh in that resturaunt.

Seems that you went to the one on San Felipe, which is not nearly as good as the one on Katy Fwy was, and not quite as good as the place Katy Fwy relocated to on Gaylord. As far as the meat being frozen, well, Brian isn't lying. I worked there for a year back in high school and the meat was never frozen, only fresh. Whether they changed their practices or not, I don't know for sure, but I

No worries man, Cliff's won't let you down and it's nearby. I would be interested to see your review of the place because their burgers are awesome.

Southwell's is OK - sounds like you might be in the Med Center, you should try Miller's just up the street, or my new favorite in the area, SmashBurger.

Wow, i live in England and we hardly have any good burger places apart from chain resturaunts, i'd like to visit texas and try some.

The meat at Southwell's is not frozen...ever. Never. Not one time since 1986. It was likely overcooked. Frozen meat has a flavor that is unmistakeable. You should have asked for another. Email me and I will buy your next meal there.<BR/><BR/>Brian@southwells.com

Two things I have to agree with the other posters on. <I>One</I>...Cliff's does have some great burgers.<BR/><I>Two</I>...The chicken sandwich at Southwell's if <B>FANTASTIC</B>, try that next time and you won't be disappointed. By the way, I would agree that the burgers are not the best I've ever had.

Although the burgers are only ok, Southwells actually has one of the best Grilled Chicken sandwiches in town. Next time try that.

For a real treat visit Robert Smokehouse BBQ on Southmore in Pasadena, Texas. The burgers are absolutely great and the home cut fries have no equal.

You went to Southwell's, but an awesome burger joint is right around the corner! Cliff's on Fountainview is a stone's throw away, and consistently serves up just about the best burger in Houston. Try it, and post a review please!<BR/>alan in H-town

Wow! Great that you are back. My number one source for no nonsense burger talk and review. Your rating system should be the standard for all burger reviewers everywhere. Bummer on Southwell's. Ah but they all can't be Chris Madrid.
