Lankford's - Bellaire

The second location of Lankford's, formerly known as Lankford Grocery & Market, the well-known Montrose staple icehouse, is nestled in Bellaire, just outside of Houston, and includes a grill that offers hamburgers — greasy real-beef patties and all the fixings. Good ol' boys, professionals and other types merge here for lunch, while the regulars prefer the evenings. While the first location boasts a hole-in-the-wall ambiance with uneven floors and a small-town, homey feel, this Bellaire location took the aesthetic up a notch with a modern farmhouse-type ambiance and interior. Try the Red, White and Blue Burger, the Firehouse if you like spicy, or the Grim burger, acclaimed for being loaded with jalapenos, bacon, a fried egg and macaroni and cheese. Because of its widespread popularity, Lankford's gets incredibly busy.
