About Us
From a small neighborhood grocery store in 1961 to a Houston burger favorite, this is how Stanton’s City Bites grew with the community.
From Grocery Store to Burger Spot
Stanton’s City Bites at 1420 Edwards St, Houston, TX 77007 started in 1961 as a small grocery store in Houston’s First Ward. It served the neighborhood with daily essentials, fresh items, and friendly service. Over time, the focus slowly shifted when simple burger ideas were added to the store menu. Made with the same quality ingredients used in the shop, those early burgers quickly became a local favorite and changed the direction of the business.
Family Roots and Houston Heritage
The history of Stanton’s City Bites is built on strong family roots and a deep connection to Houston. What began as a grocery store grew into a place where food became the main focus, while still keeping the same neighborhood feel. The goal has always been to serve simple American food made fresh and consistent. The casual setup reflects that history, where customers feel like part of a long-standing local tradition built over many years.
What Makes Stanton’s Stand Out
Stanton’s City Bites is now known for American-style burgers and sandwiches made fresh to order. The mission is to keep food simple, quick, and consistent while using quality ingredients. Guests visit for house burger specialties, easy ordering, and a relaxed dine-in space with communal seating. Delivery, takeout, and catering make it easy to enjoy meals anywhere in Houston. The focus stays on serving reliable food that keeps people coming back through the years.
