    Bac'n chzburger ($10)
    Rachel S.

    Wow best vegan cheeseburger I've had! So many people have recommended this local Austin vegan eatery, and I'm so glad I gave it a try! It did take 20 minutes for the food to be ready even when there wasn't a line, and no customers picked up their food while we were waiting so it seemed like we were the only order. There were also bees and bugs that swarmed around when the food was brought out, so we ended up having to eat in the car instead of at the tables outside. I tried the bacon chzburger ($10) while my sister got the Hoss (bbq brisket burger, $12) which she thought was spicy but very good. I thought my burger tasted amazing and savory but also with just a hint of spicy flavor in the ketchup of the cheeseburger. Other than the long wait and inability to enjoy the food at the tables, we loved the food!

    Arlos was such a random find for me on Yelp and I'm so glad I found it. We were browsing some restaurants / food trucks in the area and that's how I find it. We got a jalapeño chicken seitan sandwich and it was so tasty. I'm a big chicken eater so it was so interesting to me, I'll definitely got this sandwich again. We also got their famous Mac and cheese, I've never seen it be so flavorful and I loved it. It was a little bit too oily for my liking but the flavor and texture was spot on. Do try it out!

    enjoyed an incredible dinner at arlo's. we tried their bacon cheeseburger, sweet potato fries, hawt dog, and mac n cheese. they make their food fresh on-site and everything is 100% plant based. you really don't feel like you're missing out on anything-- it was one of the best burgers and hot dogs we've ever had. mac n cheese is a must. honestly this is one of the best vegan spots in austin and is def worth a try.

    Only came here for the mac and cheese. The mac and cheese was pipping hot, loved the crunchy parts of it. Overall it was gooey but extremely oily. The whole bottom of the tray was covered in oil. It made my stomach hurt afterwards.

    BAC'N CHEEZEBURGER (Add Mac)

    Vegan from my head to-ma-toes Highlights: *Vegan burger *Crispy Tots *Mac & Cheese on a burger Review: Highly recommended spot by one of my coworkers which was not a miss-steak. Let's start with the tots which were crispy, salty, well seasoned, hot and perfectly soft in the center. Now for the Cheezeburger, it was full of flavor, hints of smokiness, seasoned to perfection, charred, nuttiness from the cheeze, acidity from the pickles, saltiness from the bac'n, great texture from the patty and the Mac & Cheeze added some amazing creaminess to elevate it. Can't wait to try their other vegan menu items. Rating: 8/10 BAC'N CHEEZEBURGER (Add Mac) - House made soy free & gluten free patty, stacked with house-made seitan bac'n, melted cheeze, ketchup. mustard, mayo. tomatoes, onions, pickles. and lettuce. Side of Tots

    The bbq burger is one of the BEST vegan burgers I've had. It's actually not on the menu, but if you ask the counter, they'll make it for you. And the price is pretty good. The tots are pretty salty. I could only handle like 5 before stopping. My friend got the bacon cheezburger and it was very saucy. She said it was good, but unfortunately super saucy. It's a food truck so only outdoor seating, but there's a parking lot and lots of street parking so parking shouldn't be a problem. Highly recommend

    Frito Pie
    Anna R.

    Frito pie was divine- more than enough chili, bursting with flavors! We also tried the Mac and cheese which was pretty good. The frito pie burger was tasty- my husband really loved it once he got over it not being a beyond or impossible burger patty. We will definitely be back!

    The Ranch Hand
    Sonya T.

    Arlo's was just ok. Personally, I believe that food should taste good whether it's vegan or not. We ordered the popular Bac'n Cheezeburger, The Ranch Hand, and fried pickles. All of them were incredibly salty - I had to drink water after each bite. The Cheezeburger was way too ketchup-y which masked all the other flavors. And the burger turned into mush with food constantly falling out. The Ranch Hand is a chicken wrap with jalapeño ranch. I know this place is known for vegan burgers, but this wrap was the best thing we ordered (though very salty). The fried pickles were crunchy and came in a solid portion size. Overall, we left full but not impressed.

    Disclaimer: I'm a meat eater I had pretty high expectations based on the reviews and what others have said about it. The food was pretty lackluster. I had half a bac'n cheezburger and half a chipotle chick'n. My friends got tacos, mac, and fries. The burger: It was pretty sizable, but that's expected for $9. It had a good amount of toppings, but there was way too much ketchup and mustard and mayo. The patty was very soft and kinda fell apart into the bits it was made of. Due to the hefty amount of sauce and cheese, I just had a sloppy, messy cheeseburger experience. The chicken: It was drier and tougher, just a simple sandwich with not much to it especially in comparison to the overly sauced burger. The fake chicken felt like a processed, dense meatball and had an interesting spiced flavor. My friends got tacos and said they weren't that filling or tasty. The illusion of street or chicken tacos isn't quite real. The mac n cheeze had a strange flavor. The parking is good and the picnic tables are nice. You order online and service is average. Would I come again? Hmm... maybe with a vegan friend, but definitely not with meat lovers or anyone who has a weak stomach. One of my friends felt kinda sick afterwards.

    We tried Arlo's before a concert at The Ballroom at Spider House for convenience. Can't complain for a plant-based food truck. They were nice enough and we were able to grab drinks in the venue and wait for our food to be prepared. It was definitely prepared fresh but I wish it had a little more flavor.

    This food trucks is serving all vegan burger and hot dog options. We ordered the bac'n cheezeburger adding mac since we heard so much about it. We thought it was really good. It had nice texture and the mac added a nice level of flavor to the burger. You can barely tell it's fake meat! We also got the chipotle chick'n burger. This one definitely had more spice and flavor compared to the other one and it was my personal favorite. We added sweet potato fries as a side and were kinda underwhelmed. We were expecting way more than 10 fries when we paid $3... the fries were good, but just wish there was enough. It didn't even feel like it would've been enough for one person. Overall, I would come back for the burgers, not the fries. The staff is nice and there is a nice outdoor seating area right next to it. It makes me feel healthy after I eat it, and it doesn't leave a greasy feel in my mouth like some burger places do.

    Look at that tator Tots serving!! So crispy !!!!
    Jenny L.

    I had a cheese burger no extra bacon here and I COLD NOT TELL THE DIFFERENCE. Not to mention there was also an awesome drag show in the background and it's inside my favorite gay bar Cheer Up Charlie's! The burger is huge! If you're not a huge eater you may need to split with someone. Tator tots are super plentiful and soooo crispyy!! The Mac and cheese was tasty. The flavor is a little too smokey tasting for my personal preference.. but the noodles were cooked al dente and it tasted like a smokey mac and cheese little on the drier side Mac and cheese not the super gooey kind . Best way of describing it. Highly recommend if you're on riverside listening to music and need a quick bite! They get your phone number so they text you when you when you're order is done!

I'm going to repeat that - a crisp, golden disc of potato love is in the burger. Not on the side. In. Be still my heart (literally, I think that got me close to a heart attack).

First off, i'm so over places offering only Maine Root options. These always taste horrible. Id pay double for a canned coke or pepsi anyday. Before we get to the disappointment of a burger, lets talk about the onion rings and the fries, as they shared the same problem. Either your oil needed to be changed 2 days ago, or your timer stopped working. Both came out brown and tasted of bitter overused oil. Now to the burger. I do appreciate the amount of pickle slices on this burger, but this heavy hand was also responsible for the mustard levels! I think i'll be tasting mustard for a couple days. The bun was too soft and barely held up to the task. If I do give this place another shot, it will be minus mustard for sure.

I'm a girl who prefers no pickles on burgers so that's my own bias but even my partner stated he felt the burger was very pickle forward. The waygu beef was suppose to be star, especially at the price point for this ($40 for two burgers, a diet coke, and a shared order of beast fried), and it simply wasn't. Both the burger and fries were well cooked but my feedback is slapping what seems to be sliced cheese that will only melt to the top layer of fries and leave the rest without any toppings feels like a missed opportunity. It makes it harder even grab fries because they are conjoined together by the cheese. I like consistency in each bite, once the top layer of fries was gone they were just plain Jane fries. I think if the burger had some crunchy / crispy to just break up all the soft textures that would be nice as well. Like subbing the grilled jalepenos for raw ones. I can't say I'd go out of my way for this spot again with other competitors like Buddy's being closer and less pricey but it was still a well cooked burger. But if you like pickles, this is the place for you! It's bar/ high top dining only so definitely a casual, quick bite stop.

I studied their website before we went as a review session and they have a section with ingredients and options for food allergies and special diets. I got there prepared and the owner was there and I found out that website hasn't been updated in about 2 years. Many things have changed, but not their website. Our go-to Meati Sandwich is no longer on the menu. But I must say I love the new place. Bold, clean, awesome. Other than that, not too much has changed; they still have a lot of mouthwatering items on the menu... and my family can only eat one burger on the menu. We're allium-free vegetarians and there's alliums in sauces and certain proteins used. Thankfully, we were speaking to one of the co-owners and he was super helpful and patient with us, even looking up ingredients and letting us double check. He is aware of the Jain diet. They also have a kids menu and we actually ordered off of one for the first time for the kids (just a simplified version of the regular burgers), We ended up ordering: MISSION BURGER ($16.95): a classic burger with 2 Impossible patties. Having said that, the patties were super thin and smooshed flat. The guys got this burger. Took out onions and subbed out the house sauce with ketchup and mustard. JR MISSION BURGER ($12.95): same as the regular with only 1 of the smooshed impossible patties. My sister and I got this. A very good burger and it's such a nostalgic feeling eating a burger (that I didn't make myself for once). The burger was perfectly filling but I could definitely also eat a regular Mission with no issues since the patties are smooshed down. KIDS' CHEESEBURGER W/ FRIES (1 with a gluten-free bun), both $11.99 so no additional cost for GF: both my kids got this with nothing added in other than cheese and the smooshed impossible patty. The saddest looking burgers BUT they ate it! The gluten-free bun is a bit... flattened, but my kid ate half of it there and finished it on the car ride out of Austin. Then asked for another one. In fact, he's still asking for another one and it's been almost 2 weeks. My other kid (picky, no allergies) likes it as well, but didn't finish and not as much as her brother. But she definitely loved the fries. SMALL FRIES ($3.50): almost every order of burgers came with a side of fries. These are perfect, stayed delicious, and were perfectly seasoned. If you are gluten-sensitive or have a wheat allergy, do know they use a shared fryer for ALL their fried items. My kid with the food allergies couldn't eat them, just to be safe. COOKIES AND CREAM MILKSHAKE ($11.95): This is made with their soft serve and regular Oreo cookies. SO GOOD. My daughter and my vegan sister got one each. Not too sweet, hit the spot perfectly. I would like to suggest they offer a gluten-free version made with GF Oreos if they can figure out how to significantly eliminate cross contamination... or just use only GF Oreos. VANILLA SOFT SERVE ($3.99): fun fact - these are lentil protein based! Got this for my kid with the food allergies (he's allergic to wheat, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, avocado, pineapple, kiwi) who prefers real dairy and he ate almost the entire cup! It's a pretty hefty serving. I had a taste and it's pretty good. Very close to the dairy version. We were thrilled with our visit. Everything tasted great! I loved how there isn't an additional cost for a gluten free bun (it's a little wonky shaped... irregularly flattened on top). My food allergy kid asked me to make him a burger because he misses the one he got here and he specifically requested for buns with a round top so it's apparently a sore spot with him. I also love how I could actually talk to someone and make well informed decisions on what we could order... and we ordered everything we could have (aside from desserts). I'm a bit sad Mission Burger is so far away, but I guess it just means we'll have to stop by Austin when we're in Texas again. Thank you for another amazing experience!

    My BFF and I came here looking for Spin Burger and realized this location had moved in. Sad I…read moredidn't get a burger frisbee, but this was a great substitute. FREE Chocolate Chip Cookie - The cookies are definitely great--no crazy standout, but they had a distinct oat flavor. I can imagine sea salt would enhance the flavor even more. I love chocolate chip, though... and FREE is the best seasoning. Mushroom Truffle - We agreed to split these burgers 50/50, and bro zoned out while eating; I got like 1/4 of it. Hopefully that emphasizes how much he enjoyed this burger. The first thing I noticed was that the patty wasn't as thick. I do like their burgers and how they're medium-rare, but this one was much more packed with mushrooms, per the burger style. If it had the B&B patty, this would've been my favorite. Hold up--I did not know this was an Impossible patty. Not bad, but it does explain the difference in flavor. Still, it paired exceptionally well with the mushrooms. Black & Blue - Very deep flavors. I didn't like it as much as the Mushroom Truffle. In fact, I felt like this was way too saucy. The blue cheese didn't hold the show as much as the rest of the burger, and I'm a sucker for blue cheese. Like, inject Penicillin straight into my soul; obsessed. Anyways, it was just okay. My BFF and I agreed that these burgers are TENDER. Like, "didn't have to chew; it was a soft slush in my mouth" tender. Anyways, the sauce on both of these was on point--the first bite was a very obvious banger of flavors. Okay. I lied; these are ALL Impossible patties. Instantly changed the game because these were very well executed. On the way out, one of the workers (perhaps the owner) asked for our feedback. Apparently, many of these burgers are new menu items, and we got to hear a bit of their backstory (and got another FREE cookie). Some of the loveliest people I've met. I really love what they're doing here, and I'm glad they moved just 15 minutes away from our location. Wishing them the best!

There is some picnic bench seating if you care to eat there, but each order is ready to take home You can also find a menu and other information posted on the outside. The menu mostly offers burgers, but there are a couple other offerings like a cheesesteak, partner, etc. The staff were very friendly and precessional. I really appreciated that they double checked everything in our to-go bags against what we ordered just to make sure we had everything. Everything was bagged, and the orders had the individual order and special order requests written on top Everything tasted great. The burgers were classic burgers, slightly messy, but very flavorful. The fries weren't quite as crisp as I like, but they were seasoned well and tasty Some tips: Consider ordering online so you can have your meal ready when you arrive The burgers/entrees don't come with fries, so, consider ordering a couple fries to share. One order of fries is more than enough for 2 people to share. To do this just make your meal a combo on the ones you want to have fries. Combos also come with a drink, but it's not a fountain drink it's in cans which they also bag for you Cheers!!

    When I chose to eat here, I checked the reviews and there were way more positive reviews than…read morenegative, so I thought the odds were in my favor. The few negative reviews mentioned bland burgers, but the positive ones say these are the best burgers in town. I thought I couldn't be unlucky enough to be in the minority and receive bland burgers, but, boy, was I wrong! NO SEASONING IN THE PATTIES!! Not even salt? If they had just seasoned the patties like they seasoned their fries, my experience would be completely different. An easy 5 stars. But nope. A solid 2, only because of everything other than the patties. We came at around 8pm on a Saturday night and were the only customers, so maybe that should've been a sign. Also the lot felt kinda sketchy in the dark. Idk if I would have wanted to be there alone at night. Food was also ready in 10 minutes, like the guy told us. FRIES: Thick cut, well-seasoned, good. Looked like a steak seasoning on the fries. I liked it, but since they were thick, the center of the fries were bland, unfortunately. Maybe it would've been less noticeable if we ate them right away. Large serving though. My bf and I only got one combo and couldn't finish the fries with each of our burgers. The burgers are big, at 4 inches wide. THOUSAND ISLAND BURGER: I liked it at first because of the thousand island, but for the bites that didn't have it, I noticed that the patty didn't taste seasoned...like at all. I was shocked at how bland it was without the dressing. MUSHROOM BURGER: The mushrooms had no flavor, probably weren't seasoned at all. The burger, overall, was also very bland. Unseasoned patty here too. The ingredients felt fresh, but it was missing the flavor we were expecting. Really disappointing. They gave ketchup packets in the bag, but we didn't remember they were in there before finishing our burgers. It probably would've really helped, but the burgers shouldn't have needed it to be good.
