50 Best Burger Restaurants in Austin

“Good people and good food!“

“My first time. I loved the atmosphere, relaxed vibe and fast service. At first l, I thought the burger was small (Deep End). Ðon't let it fool you. Turns out it took me 3 days to finish it 😅 it was more and became more and more delicious as leftovers. And you can walk off your meal down at the park or read 📚 😏. Even though there super busy, staff were fast total professionals and tended to me asking if I needed a drink. That was nice to get that attention - as busy as they were. The ambience had an old school vibe - real oldies I freaked out it such a young crowd. Very cool n hip place and everybody had manners as busy as it was. I loved it. Y. SATx“

“Amazing!!! Great atmosphere, amazing food, and down to earth owner!!!“

“Amazing food and service! My new favorite burger place. Everything is delicious and fresh. Had the double classic that was a perfect amount of crispy edges and flavor. Don’t miss the vanilla shake— 10/10!“

“I know everyone is putting how amazing the burgers were but even for an old-fashioned hamburger, and I've rated many, these were quite dry and flavorless. I had the bacon cheeseburger with everything on it. Kids did love the fries. Just being honest, because what else is a review for, right?. However, the service was very quick, especially given how busy it seemed to constantly be. They had great sweet tea and the butterscotch shake hit the spot on a hot day. As for the atmosphere? I like how it hasn't changed much in 80 years so nostalgia is always a win for me and the prices weren't bad if compared to Whataburger up the way.“

“Awesome food & cold beer. Great atmosphere!! Highly recommended!!“

“Great drinks with low key atmosphere“

“Visited Austin for a few days and looked up a brunch spot to hit up… the name caught my attention and it did not disappoint! The kimchi hash was phenomenal! And you can never go wrong w a smoked salmon bagel! We will definitely be back when in the area! Staff was attentive, nice and the atmosphere was great! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Friendly atmosphere and staff. Delicious hamburgers and the sriracha Cole slaw was very flavorful. Good music too!“

“Best Mom and Pop's burger joint I've visited since moving here to Austin. highly recommended, great prices and great food!“

“Excellent burger and fries. The burger was sooooo juicy and bun was perfect. The battered fries were to die for. It was a hot day but most tables were in shade and there were fans around so the heat wasn’t really a big deal. Really a perfect way to spend a quiet afternoon by walking along the river and coming to get a tasty meal!“

“We went to Bar Toti to try their all night happy hour on a Monday and it made for a lovely night! It is a small space, very intimate and cute. We sat outside at first before moving inside because of weather and both areas had a lovely ambiance. About the food - I’ll go into detail about each dish we got and why I gave it 3 stars. The hongos a la plancha comes highly recommended from both reviews and staff, however I wished I had gotten something else after trying it. The mushrooms that we were served were not the meaty, scored ones shown in other photos, ours looked and tasted overcooked and were swimming in oil. I don’t think this dish fit my personal tastes as it was mostly just very oily and rich, so if you also dislike those flavors, I don’t recommend it. Also, the burger didn’t live up to the hype for me, as I had heard it was one of the best smash burgers in town and it unfortunately was not a standout to me. I appreciate its uniqueness and the happy hour deal, but it was not exactly well executed - the bun took up most of my bites, it had an overpowering mustard flavor, and I could barely taste the ham. I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt because many other reviews rave about these dishes, so they could’ve just had an off night! We ordered the fries and the focaccia as well, both were good and the focaccia was beautiful but over-salted. The overall flavors of the menu are along the lines of these dishes, quite salty & oily with not much freshness or bright flavors. I’m hoping I’m the exception, but the food wasn’t amazing to me. The service was wonderful, all the staff are very accommodating and friendly! Special thank you to Steven, he was a great server.“

“So glad we made the stop here! Upon entry, we were warmly greeted by staff, and the person behind the counter even gave each of us a cookie — just because. He was kind and patient while we navigated the menu. Portion sizes are generous — I ordered the junior size burger and it was still as big as a regular burger. This spot is a unique mix of burger joint, café, and bar, with bottled spirits for sale and other to-go snacks. It seems they share the space with other vendors that aren’t fully vegan, but their own menu is 100% vegan. My partner isn’t vegan, but he said it was the best vegan Reuben sandwich he’s ever had! There’s plenty of parking, and you can tell the team here is passionate and knowledgeable about what they serve.“

“Visited on a Saturday night around 10p. It’s in a really popular busy area so I didn’t feel unsafe at all. I loved the simple menu and ease of ordering. The guys working in the truck were really nice too. The sliders were delicious: Juicy & well seasoned with just the perfect bite to it. You can choose latkes, fries, or chips and queso as a side. We did the latkes which were remarkably crisp and well seasoned. Next time, I’m going to order the sliders with an extra patty and chips and queso as the side. My mouth is literally watering just thinking about it!!“

“Been steady customer but last couple visits it's very obvious burger patty has become noticeably thinner and dry--- going back to Dan's!“

“I have passed by a few times. Today I decided to give it a shot. Its an old drive in that still functions! The menu is packed with items I wanted to try. I got the #4 Combo, Longhorn special. I am a sucker for Vanilla Malt shakes so I had to get one when I saw it on the menu. Absolutely not disappointed! From the service to the food everything was exceptional! Now Top Notch is on my burger joint rotation in Austin.“

“This place is a true hidden gem! The selection is amazing, and every flavor perfectly compliments the other. I literally dreamed about these burgers after my first visit. Highly suggest the "I can't decide" so you can try 2 at once, and the truffle fries. the staff are fantastic and always helpful. I can't wait to go back and try even more of their menu!!!“

“great food banana bread made fresh daily and cookies off the chain! I thought oh just another burger place but I was wrong very good prices food was amazing all VERY FRESH no heat lamps no microwaved food 😋 😜“

“Great vegan burger. now we need is Vegan fries. 😁“

“Me encanto andaba de vacaciones de Miami y fuimos a cenar las hamburguesas riquísima y la atención súper“

“As always, the staff was very friendly and professional. Food was great, but I’m sure you already knew that.“

“Burger I had for lunch yesterday was so yummy. Bacon was delicious, fries were done to perfection. Highly recommend.“

“Loved the friendly staff, yummy food and drinks, and dog friendly patio! As a vegetarian I never know if there will be anything more substantial than fried snacks for me to eat at casual places like this, but the veggie sandwich was SO good and the vegan soft serve was a nice sweet finish. The meat eaters and non drinkers in the group were also pleased with the offerings. Already trying to plan our next trip back!

Vegetarian options: A+ for the veggie sandwich and fried pickles. Bonus points for the vegan soft serve.“

“Staff - especially Nikki at the front was extremely helpful! Game was also super fun!“

“Went here for drinks and the bartenders were some of the best I have experienced in Austin. Talked to me the entire time I was waiting for my friend and super friendly. Beer was filled to the brim and refills were ready before I even had to ask. Atmosphere was neat. Felt like a classic cocktail lounge and had a great experience.“

“Ate here for the first time today. food was beyond delicious. The staff was great Will be going back soon. Live in Bastrop but it is definitely worth the drive.“

“I went to the one downtown FtWorth TX and it was AMAZING and the Customer Service was 💯 👍🏾 👌🏾 thanks David!! I highly recommend 😋“

“Was able to get tickets for the “sneak peek” for my father who works at UT. He loved the atmosphere and said the food is delicious. Im still drooling over the pictures he texted lol. He also said to make sure to add that the entire staff was very friendly and inviting. I look forward to swinging by as well very soon. Welcome to the neighborhood—Hook Em :)“

“I've been here a few times and it's always a great experience. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable, the service is prompt and the food has been perfect every time. Shout out to our last server Chance for providing another pleasant and memorable evening for my partner and I at Five Four.“

“Talk about a great place to chill. Delicious patty melt and the fires. Large cut potato wedges with a great seasoning on top.
Atmosphere speaks to days of past with a chill atmosphere meant to invite cold beer, Delicious and cheap food and great company.“

“Beer is above average. Great staff. My glass never went empty.“

“First timers here and we love the atmosphere!“

“I really like this new addition to Austin Bergstrom International Airport. They have great counter service and tasty burgers and sides, breakfast too.“

“Cute vibes, and a different take on Korean food.

Food: we had the fried chicken, seasonal salad, and the wagyu. When looking around.. sooo many people had the fried chicken and our server told us they were known for their fried chicken and wagyu steak- which is why we got both. The fried chicken was a bit of a letdown for me. It was dry, wasn’t that crispy, and the flavor wasn’t out of this world- just tasted like toasted seaweed because of the nori flakes. Idk… just didn’t get the hype for $36 for a very small half bird. The wagyu was good tho, if not a bit sweet. Think bulgogi sauce marinaded. They had a great dipping sauce, but the meat wasn’t particularly tender and I wasn’t even asked what temperature I like my steak. It came out med rare. The kimchi that accompanied it was a cantaloupe kimchi.. which was ok, not my fav. The side pear salad tho was delicious, but still.. $18 for a side of pears and cucumbers.

Atmosphere was good. Very vibey and cute.

There’s a parking garage connected and they validate parking.“

“Not sure if this is the same truck I got from as we catered the truck to our neighborhood but it was amazing the cheese curds were crunchy but melty in the inside and it was perfect and they had the seasoned fries along with the double cheeseburger it was perfect“

“The food was so good. the wagyu burger is a must try. loved the bacon cheeseburger with bacon and grilled onions. nice atmosphere. we chose to sit outside. walking distance from sight seeing on the bridge.“

“Happened into Dan's on our way shopping. Fast seat yourself dining. Breakfast options were traditional. They also had breakfast tacos. Service was spectacular. Also offered hamburgers. Coffee was hot. My egg was perfectly cooked. Nice spot for locals and travelers alike.“

“Great diner, the pancake the size of your head was the perfect serving size. Their homemade sausage was good too.“

“Great food! Got the meatball and it was pretty good. Price wasn't crazy. Seating is ok depending on when you go. Line is long and busy during high traffic. They also stop to take phone orders while people are just standing waiting to order, so that's the one negative.“

“If you haven't tried this place you are missing out... We saw them on the cooking channel last night and had to have one of their sammie's... Holy crap they did not disappoint!!!! Hands down best sandwich I've ever had in my life 💯💯💯💯 go get you some ❤️❤️❤️❤️ ##EATLOCALATX“

“Burger pretty good I’d say on par with Wendy’s

Fries are mediocre at best but edible

Apple pie was absolutely fire best I ever had, seemed like they fry them there

For 9.99 burger, fries, apple pie, and drink it’s a pretty good deal, like 10.81 with tax“

“I enjoyed this "burger speakeasy" inside ZEN. The concept is pure genius, and the execution is even better.I recently tried the Swagyu Cheeseburger, Chicken Katsu, sidewinder fries, and house-made Asian slaw, and the flavors blew me away. The Asian seasonings and sauces really take these dishes to the next level. The Swagyu burger was juicy and flavorful, and the chicken katsu was crispy and tender. The sidewinder fries were a fun twist on the classic, and the Asian slaw was the perfect refreshing accompaniment.The service was also excellent, with attentive and friendly staff who clearly take pride in their work.Good stuff! Check it out.“
