About Golden Tiger

Located behind Whisler's, Golden Tiger is a food truck that offers a fun and lively late-night dining experience. The place is known for its delicious smash burger, which is described as juicy, flavorful, and among the best in Austin. The Western Burger is a double smash burger that looks as good as it tastes. The menu also features the Thai chicken sandwich, made with fried chicken thigh, sweet chili sauce, shredded lettuce, Thai basil, pickled Serranos, and red onion. While the fried chicken tenders are available, they tend to be dry and lack flavor, and the fries are disappointing even after reheating. The restaurant’s service is quick, friendly, and efficient, with customers ordering at the window and picking up their food hot and fresh. The vibe is casual and communal, with picnic tables nearby, making it a great spot for a late-night meal after visiting local bars or braving Austin’s unpredictable weather. The portions are small but the quality of food is high, especially the smash burger and the Golden Burger, which features double smash patties, special sauce, American cheese, shredded lettuce, pickles, and red onion. This place is recommended for those craving comfort food and bold flavors in a lively setting.
