Came in wanting something junky and oily and i got just that. Did I think the burger was special at all? No. Apparently their onion rings are a must get and I will say, it was pretty delicious. The service was quick and she was able to go over the menu with me which was appreciated! Would I be back? Maybe! There's so many burger spots in town and this one didnt really stand out. Just a good ole burger read more

Dan's Hamburgers - Austin - The shake was superb! - Burgers Near Me - Austin, Texas

I've lived in Austin way too long for this to be my first visit to Dan's. I had an early appointment and afterward I wanted a simple reasonably cheap breakfast, and I decided to give Dan's a try. There's plenty of nostalgia for Austin "as it used to be," and I can understand that, but I try not to get into it, especially given all the cool new things about Austin. But I will admit that this place feels like a throwback to simpler cheaper times and I really enjoyed it. No hipster vibe, no avocado, toast, or shrimp and grits, just a damn good breakfast, with plenty of variations, all at a reasonable price. Since I wasn't too hungry, I ordered the half order of biscuits and gravy. One big split biscuit, a generous dollop of excellent sausage gravy, one over easy, egg, and two slices of very good bacon made for a tasty, filling, and surprisingly economical breakfast. Looking around at what everybody else was eating, I resolved that my first visit to Dan's we'll definitely not be my last. read more

In some ways, it is the perfect old burger spot. The patty is fine, the veggies are excellent, the bun is ok (but I am a bread snob), the chocolate shake is good, the service is perfect. read more

Very unique local burger experience. Very tasty and well crafted burger. Did I mention, well crafted? Dan's burgers have very vibrant textures and flavors unique to its own. I'm not sure it measures up to the greatest 'fast food' burgers of all time, but it's pretty darn good. Onion rings were good, but I prefer a more panko or even a beer batter, but these were still good and fresh. Do stop in if in the area. Dicks read more

The walk-in is OK but the booth and the seats are torn. They need to be fixed. It's very small and a lot of trash in the trash bins to the floor where you can see it. The ceiling has water leaks and it's cracked and the wall beams are dusty with some cobwebs and it's broken down a little bit and the floor needs to be fixed because it has cracks in it and the black mats that are waterproof for slipping they're dirty and need to be vacuumed and then clean the menus need to be wiped down the AC vents need to be cleaned because they're dirty and black and full of wet cobwebs their ketchup bottles need to be refilled. The lights some of them don't work and some of them like one yellow light on . read more

Great vibes all around, well ventilated and no bright sunlight. Service was great and bilingual. Ordered two quarter pound cheeseburgers, then added bacon and jalapeños (pickled.) great customization options. The pickles were great too! Curly fries were cooked perfectly. The cheeseburger was very good, I'd rate it more than ten. read more

Oh my gosh I LOVE Dans!!! Lots of burgers and Austin. Lots of really good ones too. Dans is a classic though. And cheap! I 100% recommend Dans cheeseburger and onion rings. There fries are also amazing. Only thing I would change is how late they are open. Craving a mid night burger and unfortunately they are closed by 9pm. read more

I seriously love everything about this place. It's got the old school greasy spoon vibe going. And, I love that! The employees are rad, sweet, and friendly. The food, OMBurger!!! So freakin' good. I got a cheeseburger, fries, and chocolate shake. The boyfriend got a cheeseburger and onion rings. We went with the small burger versions. Can't even imagine the big ones. The onion rings were perfect-O! Perfectly battered and fried. The shake was like an old-fashion malt with yummy chocolate flavor. THE BURGERS WERE SCRUMPTIOUS!!! Dare I say better than my beloved Shake Shack?!? There, I said it! Cheeseburgers $4.15...what?!?! My meal was just over 12 bux. Epic. Go. read more

I was looking for a burger place that wasn't a food truck and I found this place. The burger was hot, fresh and tasty. The veggies on it all tasted fresh and the service was very fast.

This was a spot that offered burgers, hot sandwiches, chicken tenders, and milkshakes. Ordering was done at the counter. There were plenty of tables to sit at. Our order was large, but the food came out in a timely manner. I had a regular double cheeseburger ($6.95). It came with lettuce and tomatoes I believe. It was solid. It was what one expects at a place like this. The meat to bread ratio was ideal as well. The fries were okay, hot, but not seasoned too much. The onion rings were the preferred choice as they were crispy and had a good ratio of breading to onion. I also had some grilled cheese along with chicken fingers. The grilled cheese was standard while the chicken fingers were not bad either. It was odd that the chicken fingers came with gravy as that was very plain. BBQ sauce was needed for the chicken. For dessert, I had some of the vanilla and chocolate milkshakes. They were very thick and creamy. I would prefer a milkshake to be a little less thick, but it was not that big of a deal as it was creamy like I mentioned. They were both traditional, which I prefer when having a milkshake. Will I go back? Certainly. read more

Incredible burger spot! Everything tasted fresh and homemade -- juicy burgers, crispy fries, and that real, authentic flavor you can only get from a true homecooked meal. You can tell they care about quality. One of my go-to spots for a quick lunch! The burgers are fresh, the fries are crisp, and everything has that authentic, homecooked flavor. The old-school ambiance gives it a nostalgic charm, and the service is always fast and friendly. A classic spot that never disappoints! read more

It's an Austin institution and well deserved. Old timey, homemade greasy burgers that hit the spot every time. You know what you're getting when you come here and you can customize the burger any way you want. Not the best burger in Austin but it's a step up from the fast food chains. The onion rings are top notch. Lightly battered and absolutely delicious. Service was friendly and fast. read more

Love this local spot! I think it's a great value for the money. I usually get a regular cause that's more than enough for me, but my husband loves a double with bacon. Prices stay reasonable and the staff is so nice. Last night we had the best cashier, she seemed actually happy to be at work. As others mention, could it use an update inside? Maybe - But I would like to say that people calling it dirty is not the same thing to me. I think some paint and some new furniture would be great, but it also gives it character. We really wanna come back for breakfast cause the pictures look yummy! read more

For years and years, I've loved Dan's Hamburgers - specifically, their cheeseburgers and their curly fries. Although I've been hitting the location on North Lamar Blvd. more often (as recently as a couple weeks ago), I was in the vicinity of the one on Airport Blvd., where I hadn't eaten in three, maybe four, months, where a cheeseburger with curly fries beckoned me in. Inside, I found the counter staff were gone; there were things on the counter where there had been clear spaces for placing orders. A short, unfriendly woman told me tersely to have a seat and she'd be with me shortly. WTF?! Table service? At Dan's? I took a table, he brought me a menu, and I ordered, begrudgingly, because I was there and I really wanted a burger and curly fries. A tall man in white kitchen-worker garb, with his hands clasped behind his back - with the appearance and air of an orderly at a mental hospital - loomed nearby. He kept staring at me, so I looked back at him and made a gesture that signaled my annoyance with his unwarranted attention. He persisted, so I did it again. He then asked me, insincerely, "Are you okay?" I replied, "Just fine. How about you?" That seemed to deter his gaze for a while. However, he creeped me out by standing there, seeming to be waiting for an inmate to act-up so he could rush to restrain them. I got the impression that he and the waitress were husband-and-wife, and the new owners of the franchise, imposing their idea of how to operate a restaurant upon a Dan's; so out-of-touch (perhaps because they were foreigners) with how things are done around here. As I was just finishing-up the meal, the orderly came over and imposed himself on me, collecting my plate and silverware. I objected to his overbearing action, and he asked me, passive-aggressively, if I wanted the plate and silverware back. I replied, "I don't want to interact with you." This was one of the rare occasions when I've not left a tip for table service, due to a) my reasonable expectation of not having table service, and the obligation to leave a tip for it imposed upon me, b) the apparent new proprietors were such jerks, and c) because this Dan's, where I'd previously loved to eat, has been irrevocably ruined for me. If the Dan's on North Lamar gets bought-up by clueless foreigners and corrupted by table service, I'll stop eating there, as well, favoring the P. Terry's a few blocks up the street. read more

1st time here - we live in AZ. We all got a double burger different toppings- Delicious burgers and was hot! Fries done well and in fresh oil! Onion rings were excellent. Service was very fast! We are deducting for ambiance- Needs ceiling fixed, paint, and seats redone. Decor and interior needs quite a bit of maintenance. Tables are clean and well stocked. Unused Service area is an eyesore. Would not want to eat in again- which is a shame cuz it is delicious and popular! read more

i consider myself a burger connoisseur and let me say, this was one great burger. I would like the preface that personally, i prefer when my burgers aren't drowning in their own grease and falling apart in my hands. Dan's offers an amazing, flavorful burger without the greasy mess. although i can't speak for their curly fries, their regular fries were just as good as the burger and served as the perfect counter part, also lacking the greasy mess while keeping flavor. The onion rings were also great, perfect amount of crispy and not soggy at all. service was great and food was out quickly. i definitely recommend this place. read more

I am not local but a place named Dan's Hamburgers had to be good to have someone's name on it! We have had a few burgers here, fries are killer and the strawberry shake had real strawberries in it. Better shake and burger than In and Out, and Five Guys! Go support a local treasure! read more

Price: excellent, ~8 for cheeseburger and curly fries Curly fires: delicious, the perfect amount of crisp and flavor Cheeseburger: delicious, good flavor and grease, tomatoes were nice and firm yet tasty. The wait was about 10-15 mins and there isn't a drive through. There is plenty of seating and its bench seating, with padding, so its comfortable. This is not a pristine environment. Don't come expecting someone to open your napkin for you, deliver food, clean off your table, etc. Just order, sit, and eat and be happy about the non-price gouging. read more

Okay, it was our last day in Austin and we were headed to the airport but needed to eat before we got there. Picked this place because of a couple reviews taking about old school flavor. I typically eat almost all of a burger but almost never every bite. But this burger... the perfectly toasted bun, the flavor of the burger (chefs kiss) ate every bite. Is it the cleanest most modern looking joint? No. Was the parking lot full at 2:30 pm? Yes! Lot of "working man's" trucks as well as passenger cars. That tells you all you need to know. They were fast, efficient and delivered quality food! I would recommend it to anyone who asked. And would definitely make it a point to go back. read more

I have been wanting to try this place for a while. It's on the way to McKinney falls and very convenient. I ordered two burgers and one drink and it was under $15, great deal.The man at the cashier was so friendly, he reminded me of my dad he called me mija. There is lots of parking and space inside for big groups. The tables are all clean and stocked with ketchup and Tabasco, plus plus! read more

The service here is always polite and fast, the curly fries here are absolutely to die for. I would say the only reason why I gave the restaurant three stars was because the burger itself tends to be a little lacking. But highly highly recommend the brownie if you get the opportunity to get it. One of the employees convinced me to get it and I was glad I spend the extra money. It was actually so good. the inside are all booths and it's a super easy spot to just stop and grab your food and go. the atmosphere itself isn't super welcoming when it comes to having a sit down meal with somebody, but if you want something super casual, then I'd say this is a good place for that. read more
