It's inside an ancient bowling alley which is kind of cool but it's still bowling alley food. The burger was way overcooked but edible. For the price, there are much better alternatives.

The front desk people are very inattentive and have an attitude every time we go. Constant arguing with the offers they provide and not honoring the Sunday morning bowling.
Very unfriendly and have a scowl Everytime we go. They are more concentrated on playing cards behind the booth than dealing with lane issues or help guests.
I never tip them cuz why?
The food is horrible. You can smell the grease in the food. Food service looks so gross and the burgers smelled funny and didn't taste good at all

I have known this grill for YEARS and the food is always spot on. Hot and delicious. Even if you don't come to bowl - come to eat at Lebowski's.

In the fluorescent-lit temple of cosmic insignificance—otherwise known as a bowling alley snack bar—I encountered a cheeseburger so monumentally decadent, so unapologetically greasy, it could make a vegan weep bacon-scented tears of betrayal.

Let me be clear: this was not a meal. This was a philosophical event. A double-pattied, cheddar-drenched monument to America’s subconscious desire to both dominate the food chain and die with a smile. It arrived served on a raft of wax paper like an offering to the cholesterol gods—its bun glistening like the polished dome of a televangelist’s head, its beef charred and seared with the kind of commitment you usually only find in cults or tragic love affairs.

This burger didn’t whisper its presence—it declared it, with the confidence of a congressman in a massage parlor. Pickles stacked like green currency. Onions sliced thinner than my last shred of self-respect. A slice of tomato, likely there for legal reasons. And let’s not forget the lettuce—a single green leaf trying desperately to convince you this is “fresh.”

And then there were the tater tots. Golden, crunchy, and more addictive than capitalism. They didn’t accompany the burger so much as witness it—tiny, fried apostles to a messiah of meat and melted cheese.

I took one bite and my arteries filed a restraining order. I took another and transcended time. I am currently writing this review from 1976.

In summary: this burger is a greasy, glorious, unapologetic celebration of excess. If you’re on a diet, stay away. If you’re on a quest for flavor, salvation, or just a reason to keep going—it’s waiting for you under that bun, baby. Just bring napkins. And maybe a lawyer. Tell JJ I sent you. 😊

The guy working the grill never took his face out of his phone. Always had his phone in hand surfing the internet or whatever. He is useless!.

Shockingly good burger and melt in a bowling alley. Good prices, quick service.

If you’re in the mood for a great tasting burger, reasonably priced and for some bowling, I would definitely try this place!

One of the best burgers in Austin. Last time we were there they kind of burnt the burger, but the quality is still on point. Badass atmosphere. If you’re a Lebowski fan you definitely need to put it on the list. Great food, great people, in a great bowling alley. Highly recommend!

The Food is better then mc Donalds .. service is great as well 💯🙏🍟🍔

OH MY GOODNESS! There is a hidden gem inside the Highland Lanes bowling alley. LEBOWSKI’s Grill is a hole in the wall, serving up one of the best burgers I’ve had in a while. I’m impressed with the quality of the food here.

Food: The meal was definitely a guilty pleasure. I got “The Dude” a classic burger with fries or tater tots. I ordered my burger with everything on it, adding cheese and bacon. So why was it so great? Well, to start, the bun was soft and fluffy, the beef patty was cooked to perfection at a medium rare (seasoned well, juicy), and the toppings were just the right amount to balance the whole burger out. The fries were great, too.

Service/Ambiance: The guy taking my order was nice. It's a pretty decent-sized bowling alley with plenty of seating. I did not bowl this time, but going inside only to eat was fine.

I would definitely come back next time to bowl and eat here again.
