    Double cheeseburger with seasoned fries and a side of special sauce. That's a strawberry lemonade
    Christina G.

    First time here. Was craving a good cheeseburger, Buddy's popped up so we took a 15 min drive here. We were in the drive thru line for 30 minutes. And we were 5th in line. We ordered a double with cheese meal and a spicy single sign cheese meal The double burger was good, lettuce tomato sauce and I added pickles. The seasoned fries were much better than the plain fries. I ordered the strawberry lemonade, it was ok. I did like the secret sauce they put on the burhers.. I got a side for the fries. Great decision. Anywho, overall good burger, ok fries and ok lemonade.

    The Texan Melt is huge and it's awesome. Full of flavor and one of the best Petty Melts I've had

    Ok burger 2nd time around, not as good as before and noticeably smaller. My first visit a few months ago was an easy 5 stars--everything was great. This most recent visit, however, was more of a 3-star experience. A-Ok. I hadn't been back in a while, but I happened to drive by and remembered how good it was last time, so I decided to give it another shot. The dining room was nearly empty, so it wasn't busy. They're currently offering a chili burger, but I was in the mood for something simpler and ordered the double spicy burger with jalapeños, grilled onions, and spicy sauce. I also asked if I could get extra raw onions, which they said was no problem. I ordered it to go, and when I opened it at home, I could immediately tell something was different. The burger was noticeably smaller than on my previous visit, and I didn't have hardly any raw onions. In fact, the grilled onions were pretty light as well. Another slight difference was the taste - it wasn't as flavorful as last time. The burger alone was $10, which makes the portion size more noticeable. The missing onions weren't a huge deal since I had some at home, but the size difference was disappointing. One of the main reasons I came back was because the burger previously felt generous and tasted great so it was worth the premium price. This time, that experience wasn't duplicated. So it's an ok burger, but the apparent shrinkage makes it harder to justify the price. I can't say I am as excited to rush back anytime soon like I was last time when I get another burger craving. Service here was attentive and alway polite, which is why I kept it 3-stars instead of 2-stars. I was greeted when I walked in, the register guy was very nice and helpful, and the others as well.

    I love Buddy's! Glad they are near my office because they make a damn good smashed burger! The spicy with cheese and seasoned fries are the way to go! They make fresh lemonade that is amazing and have cheap beer on tap. Glad they have a drive through, but it gets long at lunch time! That's a good sign!

    The burgers were AMAZINGGGGGG ‍‍ made fresh to order and beats all other burger competitors in my eyes!! The fries were also really good, i got the seasoned ones. The restaurant was nice and clean and i was serviced as soon as i walked in. There wasn't a long wait at all and they handled and placed my order with no problems. Will def be going again.

    Yummy Lemonade

    Good burger, great fries, delicious spicy Buddy sauce, and tasty Lemonade. Customer service 10/10. The young man was knowledgeable and friendly. He sold me on their homemade Lemonade and it was delicious. He suggested the mix of Strawberry and Mango and it did not disappoint. I ordered the seasoned fries and they were delicious! He also gave me a sample of their spicy sauce and it was the best!! We also tried the biscoff shake. It was a nice treat! I was hoping for the cookie on top like in the photo but it was still really good. I can't wait to return.

    Buddy's Burgers took me straight back to my childhood. Buddy's Burgers are the hamburgers that restaurants used to take the time out to make back in the day, and don't anymore. Plus, they have draft beer on the menu. I'm sure some of you remember back in our childhood when most of our dads and their friends had hamburgers with beer. Well, the outside caught my attention, and I did a quick turnaround. It was nighttime, and I saw the lights and the hamburger sign all lit up. I went inside, and the menu was simple, the way I like it. That tells you they know how to make a good hamburger. It also says that they don't need to add a zillion hamburger names to the menu to get you curious enough to try one. I ordered the Double Classic with cheese, which comes with pepper jack cheese, lettuce, tomato, grilled onions, jalapenos, and Buddy's Spicy Smack Sauce. Now, to tell you that they know how to make a burger, they did not pile on the lettuce, tomatoes, etc. I also like that the jalapeno was chopped into little fine pieces, and with the spicy Smack sauce and the pepper jack cheese, it made a nice combination of spice and savory. On top of that flavor, the meat was well seasoned and cooked to perfection. I like that it was not a round burger; it was a real hamburger with jagged edges. I actually ate the whole burger right there. I thought that because of its size, I would have some to take home later, but I did not. It's really a great old-fashioned burger place. The fries were the same, made the old-fashioned way. I dipped them in the buddy smack sauce and ketchup, which was very good. Oh, and you can get the fries regular or spicy! Oh, and I must add that the staff is very friendly!

    Came here after work for dinner and ordered the double classic burger with seasoned fries and a mango lemonade. Right when I walked in all of the workers welcomed me. There was no wait and I appreciated that they had different lemonade flavors and shakes. When I got my food it was hot. The burger was tasty how ever the bun was a bit thin making it messy to eat. The fries were good however a bit too seasoned for my liking. I also enjoyed my mango lemonade. The price for everything was about $15. There is also a parking lot as well.

    Great burger and great experience! Staff were super friendly. Food was hot, fresh and really tasty. Very fairly priced as well! Definitely will have to try again.

    One piece of bacon

    Kind of a scam, we paid $30 for 2 burgers, 1 fry, 1 fountain drink, and 1 shake. Guy at the counter didn't say that the Cajun seasoning was an extra cost?? Just asked if I wanted salted or Cajun seasoning on the fries. Got one piece of bacon on my burger AND the burger had absolutely NO salt on it. Just a hunk of plain meat. Don't know why this place has such good reviews.. it was probably the worst burger I've had.

    It's been a while since we've been back here and since then, they've moved and this is their…read moreSECOND, new location. Whoa! 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!

    This burger spot is essentially just a food truck, but the food is solid, and the service is great…read more The food truck itself is nice and clean, and there's a big signage out front. 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.

    I can only speak for the steak dinner but it was amazing. They release the reservations at midnight…read morefor only wed-Sunday. Be prepared to wait 3 months bc that's how far it takes to get one. We sat down and were promptly greeted. They do dinner as sit down service and block off the section of the restaurant for the dinners. They do have wine based cocktails to start off. We had a lovely arugula salad with garlic chips that were so good. We also ordered the beef cheeks which are normally gone by 12:30/1pm and I can see why. They basically melt in your mouth and so tender. Before your steak comes out they give you a smoker tour. Steak was cooked perfectly and we ordered the miso glazed carrots some of the best carrots I have ever had. Save room for dessert. They do have a decent size parking lot and it's counter service for the rest of the restaurant.

    Not surer what the bug deal is, it's not bad, but it's really not amazing tbh…read more I was particularly excited for the burger, and that was a bit disappointing, I know it's a mixed meat burger but it was still not hitting right, and I very much prefer thick burgers. I can't judge the BBQ past what I tried from the short-line menu (chopped brisket sandwich), so I would only say it's average based on that. Will report back if I do try that. The sides we tried were not my favorite either. Perhaps my expectations were too high.
