50 Best Burger Restaurants in Austin

“We are normal customers and love getting our Saturday ribs . Today we went For their steak night and it was beyond amazing. My husband and I shared a beautiful 2.4 lbs ribeye cooked to absolute perfection! We paired it with the best onion rings and miso glazed carrots . One of the owners also got us a burger , when I say it was the best one I have ever had it is not an exaggeration. It was the most juicy & tender burger ever . To end our night we got the cheddar cheesecake with apple butter which was a perfect combo of a savory sweet treat. We will definitely be back again and we highly recommend trying it out .“

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

“It was wonderful and fresh!!! Best customer service I've ever had.“

“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“

“A Local Classic That Always Delivers

Sandy’s is a true staple in the city—simple, nostalgic, and always hits the spot. I usually go for a cheeseburger, fries, and a cone, and it never disappoints. Great food, quick service, and that consistency keeps me coming back“

“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!“

“This place absolutely slaps! I just got the Gimme Burger (double cheeseburger), so I didn’t try the fries.

It’s smash burger style with a great sauce. Perfect amount of grease - I was able to eat in my car while driving (sorry 😅) in my nice outfit and I didn’t mess it up at all. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Best smash burger in Austin! Hands down. Holy hell, I've been dreaming about it every day since I went last week. They just absolutely nailed it. The cheese thr crispy patties the perfect blend of pickles and sauses. And the fries were crazy good too. A smoky ketchup and the creaminess ice cream were the icing on the cake. Go here for sure!!“

“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!!“

“Great food, atmosphere, tradition, family, UT football, fun times!“

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

“Fun, vibrant atmosphere. Great service and a menu with lots of variety and flavor. Wonderful addition to Circle C! 😊“

“We loved the food here! The burgers were so flavorful and juicy. The corn dog on the kids menu was a nice big size my niece took half of hers home in her cool car carrier that the kids meals arrive in. The service was fast and friendly. The atmosphere was awesome. We played oversized Jenga outside on the patio and had a blast!! Kids can run around in the open area out back. Loved everything about this place! Will definitely return and for sure recommend.“

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

“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!“

She was so welcoming, kind, and thoughtful. Made me this amazing shot I had never heard of and I loved it! Will definitely be back to for more recommendations.“

“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 :)“

“The employees there, especially Caroline, one of the front workers, are always kind and swift help and provide excellent service. The restaurant appears to be cleaned thoroughly throughout the day. Kudos for all that they do!“

“Wanted to experience something fun prior to heading to the airport. Great variety, great prices, great time!“

“PS Best place for dogs and alcoholics lmao! But love everything about this place literally from the story to where it's at now!

PS. If it's between get the fries over pickles but pickles are great but I'm a price guy value is price lmao but all good balue for what you pay but bang for ya buck!“

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

“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.“

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

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

“This establishment is a must visit. The food and atmosphere is wonderful. The food is great and the service is top notch. Review by Gabriel A Culiat“

“The food was amazing!! 5* The burgers are where is at!! We sampled different options from the menu but the OG Cheeseburger was absolutely the BEST!! I've ever had!! 💜🤩“

“Bella Donna Subs is a true hidden gem in Austin, and it’s my go to sandwich place. They’ve got a big menu with all types of hot and cold sandwiches and burgers. Prices are reasonable and food is always great. Robert, the owner is awesome and always provides great customer service!“

“To go 👍🏻 Austin tradition Have eaten there since before high school on South Congress when it was owned by Dan and Fran I know the kids Austin’s tradition everyone it’s Austin’s has eaten there I have my own line cook his name is Cheyenne don’t be asking for him because he’s mine just kidding“

“I’ve passed through there many times and have always wanted to stop. I had the opportunity tonight and this place at this late hour didn’t disappoint me!!! Will be back to the friendly service, outdoor atmosphere and awesome wagyu burger and fries.“

“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“

“Best wings ever. My girlfriend and I literally take everyone to Wingzup who has never been and they all always love it. Been going for years now! Nothing else hits the spot like this. Best frozen margs too“

“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.“

“My husbands favorite spot.“

“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.“

“The only bad thing about this place is that I can only eat two double cheeseburgers at a time. Otherwise my heart would explode. Hands-down the best hamburger I’ve ever had better than shake shack better than In-N-Out. It’s better than just about any other place I’ve ever had. To the hotdogs, they are definitely the top three I’ve ever had.

If you’re in the Austin area, this is absolutely a place you need to try. I wish I was getting paid for this, but I’m not.“
