Most of the worthwhile bars seem to be on the far east side of the city now and this was one of the first. Great dodgey spot with food and drinks that are very affordable by current Austin standards. Service is friendly yet a curt enough to reinforce what sort of place it is (in case the motel rooms by the hour next door and trailer park out back were not enough). Outdoor seating area in the back features a pool table and ample seating if it is crowded inside. Bring a dog but it might encounter a neighborhood cat briefly. If your kid is a 20 something slacker bring them otherwise leave ‘em home.

Morning burger was perfect. Cool vibes as well.

I haven't had a chance the burgers or hot dogs, but everyone says they're great. The place is super chill with a small inside a pretty large outside seating. It is kinda a dive with a great set up.

This place is my favorite bar in all of Austin & I've been in this city since 08. The burgers & dogs are 🔥 plus the booze isn't over price. The best part about this place is the staff, super friendly & laid back. You gotta come here if you like burger's!
I've been coming here for 2 years now so I am a little bias.

The place itself is meh. Men's restroom toilet has a leaking wax seal therefore causing the men's restroom to smell like raw sewage. After waiting an extended period 30 to 40 minutes. While no one else had food request numbers on their table. They immediately rushed it out once I stood up and stated I was leaving. Asked for an itemized receipt before I paid my total bill. As anyone should. Didn't receive such rather than a kitchen ticket with chicken scratch on it. I refused to pay for a meal of which had an extended wait and had I already announced my departure. And of course the bank statement didn't match the "correction." Any professional working a bar knows what's shown below is NOT an itemized statement. The bartender herself has a bad talking problem. IE going to familiar friends and faces. And completely ignoring others who didn't fit her agenda. There was a sick cat running around. Hopping all over the bar and tabletops. Health department is definitely going to hear about this "nice" little bar.

Tonight I could tell I visibly wasn't the only upset customer. The bartender needs to quit talking and ignoring new customers over regulars. Not to mention the cat on the bar flicking hairs off in to everyone's drinks. Can't become a regular to get an "elite" service it seemed everyone got around me. If I can't even have a good experience to begin with.

Hidden gem. Some of the best burgers and patty melts you can find at a dive bar. We also got the frito pie and it did not disappoint. Not the fanciest joint, but great food and beer. The place is small and quaint but that’s just part of its charm.

Silver Medal is a perfect dive. Outside of good prices, good food, and cold drinks, I never know what I’m going to get when I go here. And that makes things so fun. Will OC the cat be there? What kind of crowd today? What movie will be on the tv? What music will be playing? Heavy metal or hip hop? There’s also lots of outdoor seating and a somewhat raggedy but functioning well enough pool table

Fantastic low-key dive bar right off the highway. We just so happened to stay a little over a mile away and decided to give this place a try. We got lucky and went on two for one hotdog night. They were delicious so we came back for burgers the next night. Top notch. Great back patio. Owner was super cool and engaging. All staff very pleasant and helpful. Don't judge a book by its cover. This is a good stop to make. You can get a cheeseburger AND a chili dog with a bud heavy for $12!

This place is exactly like it wants to be. The food is good, the beer is beer, and it can take a while to place an order, but who cares. Great bar without the pretense of "new" Austin vibes.

Delicious food with their own unique style in an unsuspecting location. Hard to beat

Nothing to see here. Dive bar with mid burgers.
