50 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Austin

“The burgers here are grown man-sized, the tomato slices to match. The portions in general are generous and have a home-made kind of satisfaction to them. The menu allows for lots of customizations (I always add an extra Falafel patty on the side, for example). Falafel Burger is everything that most burger places are not. Give it a try!“

“Today was my first time dining at this particular Vegan restaurant and I must say that I am very pleased with everything, the staff is very friendly and welcoming, I’d recommend anyone Vegan or NOT stop by Mission Burgers… you WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED… I give them 5 stars😊“

“Best burger and fries in the entire great state of Texas. Come to DFW P. Terry’s! We need your greatness!“

“Hey, this is always my go-to choice for tacos whenever I have to eat some in Austin and all. Their locations have really high quality food and very spicy salsas. The menu is pretty much remembered in my head by now. I really like the mole stuff and also anything with chicken and hard to spell words like fernando fernandino. You'll see once you go in order. They're all really good.“

“My large online order didn’t go through and I had no idea. I arrived at 8:20 and needed my order by 8:50. Eric at the Gracy Farms location didn’t hesitate- he asked me my order size and communicated with the kitchen to ensure they could complete my order in time for my 9AM meeting. All 50 tacos were ready by 8:40 and Eric helped me carry them out to my car. Excellent service from an Austin classic!“

“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.“

“We had a wonderful experience Gabriel Culiat will highly recommend this establishment to friends and family. Food was delicious and the service was amazing. Thanks“

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

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Must-Try for Chicago Dog Fans! We had an awesome lunch from Midway Dogs, a Chicago-style food truck that absolutely delivers on flavor and authenticity. The Chicago dogs were spot on—delicious, perfectly made, and just like you’d expect from the Windy City. On top of the great food, we had the pleasure of chatting with the co-owners, Bonita and James. They’re incredibly friendly and clearly passionate about what they do. It felt more like catching up with friends than ordering lunch. Can’t wait to go back for more amazing food and conversation. Highly recommend this spot if you’re craving a true taste of Chicago!“

“Best burger and fries in the entire great state of Texas. Come to DFW P. Terry’s! We need your greatness!“

“G Bob's is my dinner at least once a week. I've had everything on the menu. Nothing disappoints, so you want a Mediterranean meal, check out G'bobs food truck!!! 😁“

“Saw a video from two Korean ladies who were visiting America for the first time, and Ethan, the cashier in the video, was super helpful and kind to them. He went above and beyond and displayed exemplary service. Please don't let this young man's good deeds go unnoticed.“

“Mad Dogs Houston Midtown is the best place I’ve ever had. The food is amazing and the service and staff is fantastic. I would highly recommend this place to anyone that is looking for good food at a reasonable price.“

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

“I finally did one of the most Austin/McConaughey things I could do. I stopped at Top Notch Burgers in North Austin and snatched up the famous jalapeño burger and fries that apparently Wooderson ordered in the 90s movie classic Dazed and Confused.
The burger joint with dine in and carry out still has the drive in options creating a classic throwback serving fast and delish eats.
Whether you’re visiting Austin or live here, if you don’t have this in your list of places to hit up, as Wooderson would say, “it’d be a lot cooler if you did”.“

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

“I loved this Dairy Queen, it was so clean and the staff were so friendly! I loved everything they do, showing the history of the franchise with mementos and his to their history. Showcasing the owner’s and supporting the community and even having cute little signs to save ketchup! Everything was amazing! I will definitely be recommending this spot for all my late night ice cream cravings!“

“I was very excited to find this location in Austin, as there are no others in the area. It was so good! Haven’t had it in a while since today!“

“I recommend combo fries I love it“

“Great local food truck smash burger!
I've now visited twice. I really enjoyed the seasoned thick cut square fries. The burger is great, with all the standards. No additional special flavoring. Just a larger smash style patty.
Second go around I learned their signature sauce is mustard based. Personally, I'm not a mustard fan so I skipped this option. I found it to have a bit of that sharp overpowering mustard flavor. I'd rather taste the meat and complimentary flavors. The veggies are decent and the bun is good. Pretty solid burger. My favorite for reference Is the Culver's style smash style butter burger. I like that little bit of near burned butter flavor in the meat this burger lacks. Still a great choice. Especially if you want to do a quick pitch and putt round at Butler. Just on the other side of Auditorium Shores off of Lamar. Note: Drinks are at the pro shop, might want to bring your own as choices are somewhat limited.“

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

“Super friendly! Great service“

“The food is very good (I love the whole wheat tortillas the best), however, the staff is EXCEPTIONAL. So amazing! I was having the worst day when I came in, and Sunshine (apt name) made me feel so much better! The cashier was also super friendly and kind. I'm glad I came in at that time, and I will definitely be back“

“My girlfriend and I were looking for a good burrito and this place kept coming up in other comments and searches and it did NOT disappoint. The food came quick it was hot service was great! 10/10 would recommend and if you come across it definitely stop and get some!“

“Delays happen in this industry but rude staff should not be tolerated. Zero sympathy for patrons waiting and met with a smirk on the face stating have a nice day doesn’t come across well to multiple customers including me. Good luck with your growth plans since the staff you employee can’t seem to service your existing locations. What took so long to build is hard to hold onto unless you address your shortcomings, competition is good.

Follow up 1 week later: Today I gave Taco Deli a 2nd chance and they exceeded my expectations. Service was great and food was very good. If I’m going to ding them for something bad I better give them props for something good.“

“I loved this Dairy Queen, it was so clean and the staff were so friendly! I loved everything they do, showing the history of the franchise with mementos and his to their history.

I will definitely be recommending this spot for all my late night ice cream cravings!“

“Took over the old Quiznos. Varied sandwich and salad menu and boba tea! Well made with fresh ingredients and a very friendly staff. Highly recommended for a good lunch or anytime you need a sandwich .“

“I will never go into this Popeye’s location ever again. Disgusting, dirty, horrible service inside. Most of the people in there were either on drugs or insane. Half the sodas were out, no lids. All they care about is the drive-thru, no desire to take care of things in the dining area. I tried to find some water to clean the mess & dried catsup off my table, but there was some homeless guy in the bathroom with his dog (yes, dog in the restaurant). So I tried to get water from the soda fountain, but water wasn’t dispensing. Line of people 10 deep, no one taking orders in front. People were getting rude and irritated. One guy got kinda hostile and mouthy. It took 30mins to get my order...and I had to ask them for it. My mashed potatoes were not warm, but the chicken sandwich was awesome.“

“Best burger and fries in the entire great state of Texas. Come to DFW P. Terry’s! We need your greatness!“

“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!“

“Passed this place a hundred times before checking it out. A friend finally brought me, and I was surprised at how tasty the tacos were. This is not Taco Bell! (I've visited a few times now, and I've liked everything I've tried.“

“Great quality, fast service and the management team is outstanding.“

“Fast service , friendly staff“

“Best chicken tenders and fried fish! I literally have to drive 6 miles just to get to them, but it’s totally worth it. They beat any other chicken, tender fast food restaurant with the quality of their food and the flavor. I just wish they had them more in Austin.“

“The food was delicious we had the brisket hash and the puff pastry . I tried the homemade Sangria and it did not disappoint. The customer service was excellent and our server was very attentive The handwritten birthday card signed by the staff and the dessert treat was a nice touch. It was my first visit but I definitely will return. The only problem was parking, not enough of it behind the restaurant but I loved everything else.“

“I didn’t catch his name, but the young gentleman who helped me with my order on 10/7/25 around 5:30 PM was outstanding! He was friendly, helpful, courteous and gave great recommendations. He seemed like an all-around great guy! I’d love for management to recognize him for his excellent service and positive attitude.truly rare in today’s world.

Awesome!“

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

“I had their chorizo breakfast tacos and my goooooodness!!! Best tacos I’ve ever had!“

“Great prices for fresh burgers and fries! I’m so glad there is a new location in Spring, Tx. I highly recommended!“

“Overall a great place for food when you are in a hurry or on the go. I've had the breakfast tacos (picadillo and beef fajita). Also, the hamburger meal and onion rings. The food is really good and reasonably priced. The tacos were pretty small but good. The tortillas are very thin but also really good. They also have a really good mango drink with lots of pulp right next to the register it's super good. They did get a couple minor things mixed up on 2 of the orders but nothing horrible.

It's located inside Weird convenience store, which I love! Staff is friendly and store is very clean and uncluttered. And I'm very impressed with the cleanliness of the bathrooms as well.“

“Great foods.. Love it. Amazing foods.. Sandwiches , chicken wings, and good fry rice.“

“I dont know what this location is doing for their employees, but they are the friendliest workers I have talked to at a drive through. Doesn't matter the time of day, they are always chipper and eager to take your order. Its been this way for years.“

“Rosa is a woman of compassion and character and deserves a raise! She was working the drive-thru and I wasn't feeling well because I was extremely nauseous due to pregnancy. I could barely order and was trying to keep it together. She had compassion on me. She asked if I needed water and got me a large ice water. Her kindness was very genuine and even made me cry because she was so nice. I have been back to this Arby's several times because of her. I have always had a good experience.“

“We visited this location with my pregnant wife, and the manager took a moment to congratulate us and ask about our pregnancy.

The team served our food and surprised us with a Chick-fil-A souvenir that absolutely made our day.

Such a thoughtful gesture. Thanks y’all!“

“Food was great, hot and fresh. Store was very clean. Management should be commended. Would eat there again.“

“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!! 💜🤩“

“This particular Popeyes has the best employee ever. Miss Patricia. Super friendly, funny, and sweet. I'm glad I opted to come inside to order in lieu of the drive thru. She made my day! The chicken was delicious of course, but Patricia is the big draw here. Give her a raise immediately!“

“Very quick and friendly service“

“Really good made-to-order tacos and torts. The red sauce is like fire! Great carnitas and the migas and bean taco rules.“
