50 Best Burger Restaurants in Austin

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

“Wow! This place is soooo good. The first time I went I tried the Mission Burger and it was amazing. Since then I’ve tried the steak sandwich, bbq brisket, and mac & cheese and all are delicious. You would never guess everything is plant based. Keep up the great work and please open a restaurant near Grant Park!“

“Fantastic burgers and shakes!“

“I’ll give this burger joint a solid 7.0/10. If you like non greasy at all type healthy somewhat version of a burger this is the spot. Taste like Griffs but not greasy at all. Very fast in and out drive thru. Very affordable. Only complaint would be is the bun was dry for my pallet maybe some butter or toasted that’s all. Very good OG spot tho“

“My wife and I visited last Wednesday on our vacation from Minnesota. The brisket was great, the barbacoa was the best I've ever had anywhere. The onion rings were amazing and I don't personally care for onion rings. The jalapeno cheese chorizo was outstanding. As good as all those were the beef ribs were the best most perfect bite of food I've ever had... But what really stood out is the amazing staff from Evan greeting us as we walked in the door to everyone that we met so helpful kind and cheerful! Having worked in the service industry for most of my life it's always a joy to be treated so well!“

“Been eating at Dan’s since the 70’s. Best burger in United States. I eaten at all their locations and my favorite was at Barton Skyway and south Lamar (long gone). Now I go to Buda for my burger/pancake fix. Locations S Congress RIP S Lamar RIP N Lamar Airport Blvd Cameron Rd RIP Manchaca Rd Buda“

“10/10 delicious food, friendly staff!“

“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“

“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.“

“Stop at Hopdoddy's for fresh, handmade hamburgers and handcut fries. You will not be disappointed. Since the burgers do not come with fries, my family of 8 shared 2 shareable regular fry bowls and one fried sweet potatoes bowl. The service was fast, friendly and patient as my family ordered and we're served. In our experience, restaurants often make mistakes with adjustments to menu items, but everything here was perfect.“

“Best burgers I've had in Austin. I regret not living within an hour of this place. I would drive there at least once a week. Unfortunately I live 4 hours away. 😭“

“My daughter and I were able to eat gluten free and it was one of the best GF buns and the fries and milk shakes were soo good.“

“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’ve been to Top Notch before, and every time the food is fantastic. The fries are always crispy and delicious, and the shakes are absolutely incredible, easily some of my favorites around.

On my most recent visit, Owen was working the register, and his kindness genuinely made my day. When I went to pay for my drink, he unexpectedly gave it to me on the house. It was such a thoughtful gesture and speaks volumes about the level of customer service he provides.

Great food is one thing, but employees like Owen are what keep people coming back. Thank you for the wonderful experience; I’ll definitely be returning!“

“Great drinks with low key atmosphere“

“100% coming back. Hot, fresh, amazing flavors. Made with love. Their special fries are seasoned and taste light. Mango smoothie is refeshing. Chicken shwarma was the perfect texture and juicy! Wish they had a location in South Austin. Super cute sonic driveup vibes. Abdul is very friendly.“

“This place is the BEST Burger joint in Austin hands down! and not just Burgers all of their food,laid back chill atmosphere, ALL of the employees are on point no fake personalities the heck with 5 stars this place gets 10 stars!!“

“Always hits the spot. Had lunch at this location yesterday and breakfast this morning. The hamburgers are huge and super tasty. The biscuits are perfectly fluffy and they apply tons of gravy which is essential. Don't skip the hash browns either.

Also the prices are the best in town, can't beat it.“

“Great BBQ and amazing burgers!“

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

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

“Brought a friend in for the smash burger hour hour and thoroughly enjoyed it. Loved our server! She was so informative, attentive, kind. (*only issue that the AC was full blast as to where it was almost too chilly! ha (how could this be in Austin during the heat?! :-) Overall, a great time, yummy dishes! ***the Baba Ghanoush is a must!“

“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!!!“

“So good! Smash burger with charred edges. Inside is juicy and cheesy and the pickles are thick. 10/10 the onion wedges are also awesomeeeee. Seasoned good and are thick. The house sauce is a version of a thousand island like in n out and the spicy sauce has a horseradish taste“

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

“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 :)“

“Super friendly! Great service“

“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“

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

“Hot dogs and beer don’t get better than this. We recommend: Go to the Riverside Autozone parking lot get the best tacos in Austin, get your brakes replaced for $20 by an independent contractor, drive a few blocks over to Fraziers to settle your stomach with fries and fresh hot dogs and wash that all down with a steamy local austin brew.“

“10/10 man, the people working here are fantastic and they're great to chat here. maybe it was the manager but he had amazing hospitality. Would recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“I’ve been enjoying this awesome joint since middle school (25 years ago) and it never gets old! Every single item on the menu is cool as Austin is. Highly recommend this establishment at least once a week if you can afford it. And you will be able to afford it because they have reasonable prices!“

“went here while I was in Vegas only a week after they opened. the only sad thing was that didnt have shirts for sale yet. delicious beef, good flavor, the sauce brought it all together and and a beautiful soft bun that held and didnt crumble. The fries are perfect and dont sleep on their Chipotle ketchup. This is a must stop while in Vegas!“

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

Give this hidden gem a shot while you’re in downtown ATX. Real easy to find parking too.“

“Hidden gem fr… lemon pepper + medium buffalo wings did not disappoint 🔥 Ultimate Philly is also amazing“

“My wife and I travel frequently to Austin and have for a number of years. With two of our children here, we have dined out at many of Austin's finest restaurants. I am a partner in a number of businesses in Sonoma County, California, including golf courses, theaters and a restaurant. I am rarely motivated to write a restaurant review, particularly a glowing review. My wife found Oz. Tap House online and it was very close to our hotel. My personal experience with tap houses is that they have great beer, but mediocre food and generally less than mediocre service. I went online and looked at the menu, still not particularly enthusiastic. But I decided to place a dinner order for my wife and I and was immediately blown away by the online ordering system. Virtually every menu item can be custom ordered in a dizzying variety of ways. I even remarked to my wife that it was the finest online ordering software that I had ever seen. But ordering is one thing and execution is another. My wife ordered the Oz. House Burger (Beef), cooked medium, substituting lettuce wrap for the bun and adding avocado with a small avocado jalapeno side salad. Again, the customization options were many. I ordered the Charcuterie Pretzel and a Side Caesar Salad, with no croutons. I knew the restaurant was only a couple of minute drive, but even then the speed of the announcement of the projected pickup time and the time itself was amazing; less than 15 minutes. When I picked up the meals at curbside, I told the waitress how impressed I had been with the online ordering system and she thanked me and told me she would have to tell her husband. Turns out Krista and her husband, Sean, own and operate the restaurant. I had assumed with the level of sophistication that it must be a franchise or chain, but no, Oz. is a true mom and pop restaurant. When leaving I told Krista that the proof would be in (i) whether the delivered food matched the order and (ii) the quality of the food. I had barely started eating when my wife announced that her salad was spectacular and the burger one of the best she had ever had. My meal was every bit as impressive. Again, uncharacteristically for me, I called Krista (even though the restaurant was hopping and I knew she was busy), just to tell her that the food was as good or better than the service. This is as advertised: true farm-to-market fare, exceedingly fresh, expertly prepared as ordered and quickly delivered. Yes, Oz. may not have McDonald's prices, but it has infinitely superior food, expertly prepared and efficiently delivered. We admittedly didn't even try what was probably the standout feature of the restaurant: the beer. I assume if the restaurant part of the tap house was spectacular, the beer side of it must be even more so. Next time. Do yourself a favor and try the Oz. Tap House. My very best wishes to Krista and Sean on a very successful business in a tough industry.“

“Forrest was a great server“
