An exemplary burger lineup in the $5 to $9 range. This outpost can’t shake the strip-mall vibe, but location doesn’t make the matchstick fries any less delicious. The chili cheese sauce is addictive.

The atmosphere and service here is even better than the one on soco! Add a fried egg to your burger, it does wonders. But I didn't like their take on the Bloody Mary, the hey neighbor.

One of the best burger joints in Austin. The Anderson Lane location is not as busy as the South Congress one but expect an hour wait. Milkshakes and fries with queso will put you into a food coma.

I have no idea what sorcery their supplier uses, but the gluten-free buns are AMAZING. They're also conscientious and helpful with food allergies/Celiac if you give them a heads-up.

DirectTV bars: use DirectTV SUBTITLES instead of "Closed Captions". Push the yellow button on the remote. Trust me. You can thank me later.

Everything is always good. Get the truffle fries and a shake too! Maine root on tap is my fave though as I love the Pink Drink.

Watch out for the El Diablo Burger. It is one of the spicy hot things I've eaten in a LONG time. Peppers were super hot!

Go on an off hour or 40 minutes before close or you'll be in an hour-long line. Delicious burgers, but I hope one opens in the suburbs soon to keep those folks from creating huge weeknight lines

Vegetarian? Get The Impossible with caramelized onions and avocado. Great texture, just a touch of sweetness.

You can order bun-less burgers with all the veggies + add-ins like bacon, eggs and/or avocado. Great Paleo option :-)

Be sure to show up 40-60 minutes before you plan on being hungry. You're gonna wait, but everything here is top notch from burgers to fries, shakes, and of course beer.

The rumor has it that this place has the best burger in the nation. If you are willing to wait in line for almost 1-2 hrs, you can verify this rumor.

The burgers are always juicy. I like the goodnight. The shakes are really creamy and they always have some good craft beer.

If you get the fantastic Diablo make sure to lift the bun and disperse the habaneros. Else you're likely to get a strong bite :)

It's like a culinary roller coaster; you wait in line for hours for a few minute ride. Yet, it's worth the wait!

Be prepared for a LONG wait on Friday nights but the Primetime is one of if not the best burger I've ever had! They also take your drink order while you wait which is nice.

They're sauce-y so order the sauce on the side- it preserves the deliciousness of the bun. Especially important if you order to go!

The Continental Club Burger is the best Turkey burger in town - so good it can be eaten with no bun! Or they've got a fabulous gluten-free bum too!

Avoid the line! Arrive after 1pm and before 5:30pm on any weekday to get right in. Grab a seat at the bar for the quickest service.
