“ So delicious! There is indoor and outdoor seating! Burgers are fantastic. ”
“ I ordered a double cheeseburger with fries, and a vanilla milkshake. The food was great. Cooked to ordered, hot, and fresh. The milkshake was the perfect addition, especially on a hot day. Similar to the meal, very well made. A little on the thicker side, which I liked. Seating is open and limited to two larger tables and a longer bar outside. Nice environment, easy to access, and nice, attentive staff. Great experience. ”
“ Tammy made one of the best burgers I’ve ever had! Juicy, fresh, and packed with flavor. The fries totally stole my heart — crispy and perfect. They give plenty of ketchup and mayo, and the service is so kind and welcoming. I’ll definitely be back! ”
“ The head chef running this establishment is kind, so talented at the burger craft, and a fantastic leader to her team. It’s dinner and a show getting the chance to see the hard workers flow in such a healthy, productive atmosphere. The burgers were fantastic! Music bumping outside the window. Great vibes. ”
“ Not from Austin, visiting for comedy fest. Came across this place and decided to stop for a bite! Delicious! From the burger to the fries! You won’t regret it ;) also, GREAT customer service. It’s hard for me to expect much from Austin since the culture is more fast paced but Tammy made it very welcoming, asked how we were enjoying our food, and even stopped by to give us a card for us to leave our honest feedback! Great food and great service, can’t beat it! ”
