Adam StallmanMay 21, 2015Made famous in the movie, Dazed and Confused, this drive in burger joint is as local as it gets. The grill is so seasoned with age that you probably could make anything cooked on taste amazing.Upvote13Downvote
Jessica JonesJune 12, 2018You can truly taste the difference - these are cooked on a charcoal grill! Onion rings are soaked overnight so they are exceptionally crispy and tasty.

Austin ChronicleJune 18, 2013New ownership has updated the menu with fried okra and green beans, but otherwise Top Notch is a local fast food restaurant still frozen in time – and that's why we love it. Get the Longhorn special.

Divya MulanjurMay 11, 2015Quick and cheap good food. Loved the cheese burger and fries. The burgers are more towards the well done side though.

Ron JeramiahOctober 16, 2016In the neighborhood and stopped in...had the Longhorn & Hickory combos. Just okay...wouldn't rush to come back given other choices.

KeiLee McClendonFebruary 2, 2019It's so cool to go to an old school drive in, unfortunately that's the only upside to this place. The burgers are alright and the okra lacked flavor. Nice experience though!UpvoteDownvote
