After a rough night yesterday I woke up at around 11 am on the couch with a massive headache and just feeling horrible. I honestly wasn’t in the best mood so I started drinking right when I woke up. By about 6 or 7 ish (6-7 clip farming) i was about 12 deep and had only eaten cereal and a rice krispy treat. After a horror show of a night and day filled with reflection and sorrow I decided to grab dinner with my pledge brothers and it was really good eats.
I ordered the classic burger and added jalapeños on top and genuinely ate my burger in less than a minute it was so good. I honestly wished I ordered 3 more to be completely honest. Service was fast and the vibe was chill. Would come again !

Epic hamburger on the iconic Rainey Street. This place is tremendous and is a must go for a bad ass hamburger in Austin.

One of the most delicious smash burgers i have ever had. The toppings are basic and delicious. Also the fries are hot and fresh wirh just the right amount of seasoning. I highly recommend this place!

JABS Burgers & Fries, in Austin’s Rainey Street Historic District, is the perfect “spot” for taking care of that late night crave after an evening of shenanigans and adult imbibing. This food truck is still open when many area kitchens are closing up. Forgot to eat? Need more? This is it! They tend to keep it simple here with just a few menu items; not surprisingly, all burgers, along with seasoned fries, and a small selection of soft drinks. I ordered the OG, a double patty smash burger with American cheese, pickles, grilled onions, and JABS sauce on a potato bun. This, along with their seasoned fries, cost me about $14 plus tax. The JABS truck is parked in front of The Stay Put on Rainey Street. There is plenty of outdoor seating here in conjunction with the pub. I waited maybe 7 or 8 minutes for my order to be ready, telling me that, unlike a lot of fast food places, the burgers here are cooked to order, not pre-cooked and stacked to the side waiting. In case you’re curious - I Googled it for you - JABS is a tongue-in-cheek acronym meaning “Just Another Burger Spot”. Very much recommended.

This is a food truck in a craft beer lot on Rainey street. Hussain said his burgers are the best and showed me the award he won for Austin’s best burger. He did not lie or disappoint. The burger has flavors of char from the grill and even though it’s smashed, it’s not super thin. It has some meat and flavor to it. The sauce is really good. I ordered the classic which comes with lettuce and tomato. The fries are ok. They were a let down when the burger is soooooo good. I highly recommend and I’ll say this burger is better than Houston’s trill burger which won Americas best burger…

Best smash burger I've had. Perfect amount of savory and richness which is balanced with the acidity of the pickles and onions.
Very well done!

If you crave a no‑nonsense smash burger, JABS at Fareground is the knockout: juicy Creekstone Farms patties seared to perfection, layered with oozy American cheese, a tangy‑sweet JABS sauce, and fries that stay crisp to the last bite—all for a wallet‑friendly price. Quick counter service and plenty of communal seating make it an easy lunch win in the heart of downtown Austin.
