I love Hat Creek. I have many food, allergies and HatCreek has healthy food that makes it easy for me to enjoy. I went to the drive-through at this establishment and picked up a plethora of meals and brought them to my son's house for a family lunch. I got a turkey burger on a lettuce wrap, which was amazing. My granddaughter got the child's meal with the burger and she just loves getting that apple juice! My husband and my daughter-in-law, both got a tiny hat customized to their own personal preferences. My daughter-in-law loves their sweet potato fries. It was indeed a celebration, and it was quite fun to spreading the HatCreek all over the dining room table. This restaurant is clean, attractive and inviting. The service was great, and our order was prepared perfectly. They even had a milk bone for my beautiful fur baby. Everyone was very kind. The drive-through line moved at an exceptional pace, which is nice because we were in drive-through because we're in a hurry. The prices are quite reasonable. I definitely will be visiting this HatCreek again! read more

3.75 My husband and I decided to pick up some burgers from Hat Creek. We pulled up to the drive thru and placed our order. We then drove up to the drive thru window and waited. For our order we got 2 Little Hat Burgers, 2 Fried Chicken Sandwiches, and 4 Fries. We also requested several sauces. We also ordered some milkshakes but their machine was down so unfortunately no milkshakes on this visit. The fries were okay. I like the flavor of them but they were mostly soggy and soft. I found a few crispy fries which I appreciated. The burger I got was the Little Hat. It comes with a meat patty, lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, cheese, and mustard. I got my burger without cheese. The burger was okay. The bun was a soft. The meat patty was good. The other ingredients were okay. Plenty of onions and decent lettuce, tomatoes, pickles. Overall it was an okay place to get burgers and fries. Easy and fast drive thru experience. I was a little disappointed that the milkshake machine wasn't working but hopefully it will be working next time. read more

Definitely a place for families with young children. The beer was good and it was cold. The chicken nuggets were ok and nothing to order again. The Salt Lick burger was somewhat flavorful. Today it was very loud and chaotic with numerous children unmanaged. Clearly this is successful as a family restaurant with very economical pricing and quality consistent with the pricing. read more

Good burgers. Don't come for me.. its better than P Terrys. I love fresh vegs on my burger and I die for a soft and fresh bun if Im gonna have some carbs. Easy to order. Great fries. Summer or winter the play area is great of you have kids. My burger was delish. Reminds me of an In and Out burger.. Service was efficient, friendly. Place was clean and plenty of seating. read more

We went to try the Terry black BBQ collab burgers. They were ok but didn't have much brisket on it. The service was pretty slow and portions very small for the price. read more

3pm on a Friday decided to grab a burger with my hubby and just had the best time at Hat Creek. Thanks to our server Flip!

First time eating here and it's ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS . I tried "the cowboy" and omg it was just absolutely delicious. The staff is super friendly here and professional. The dining area is kept really clean. There is an adorable family area outside with a playground for kids to play on. Happy to support local. And hat creek burger is spot on. Definitely eating here again in the future. read more

I'm not sure why people have to be so picky about reviewing these days. Hat creek is a simple burger company (I mean this respectfully). We've come several times and have no complaints. If an order was messed up they honored that. They always work quickly. My only suggestion for management was the last 2 times we ate there the tables were sticky but we came on a Sunday after church. Which can be really busy. read more

Veggie burger from here is my favorite. Regular fries, sweet potato or tator tots... you can't go wrong with any of the sides. They do have an amazing Turkey burger and keto bowls. Normally quiet and normally clean and quick. Has a great play space for kids outside. read more

I picked up an online order through the drive thru today the day before Labor Day. The two representatives were so friendly - I can't imagine they want to be working this weekend and so to be so cheerful warmed my heart. Plus cheerful voices and faces helped because I've been sick with a cold virus this weekend. And as usual the veggie burger and sweet potato fries hit the spot! Thanks y'all!!! read more

OK, please read.. I have done a Hat Creek review in the past at a different location. My experience at the other location was not great to say the least. This location on the other hand is great. We eat here a lot. Probably once a month atleast. The service is great and the food is always great. "Well" one time my burger was a little dry, but that was once out of 20 times. Still ate it. We will continue to keep going back. read more

Food is great. But we asked for everything in the burger and they just gave us plain burgers??? The dude even asked us if we wanted any sauces and we did, we wanted ketchup. But then I look in the bag, AND THERES NO KETCHUP the food is yummy tho read more

This place is a favorite for our family. The food is always hot and fresh, made to order, and I've never ordered anything I didn't like. I do wish they'd bring back the salad with sour kraut. It was the favorite for several of us. There's a great little playground for the kids. read more

Flashers On Reasonably new location in Dripping Springs where even during this pandemic still exploring different local eateries. I have had Hat Creek Burger Company before so know what to expect. With mask on I noticed this location is designed well where you order once you walk inside, find a place to sit and then wait to hear your order get called. There is both inside and patio seating along with a small playground for the kids. The place was very clean and some tables blocked off. There's a drive thru and plenty of parking. I don't eat cow anymore so selected the 6 Piece Flasher Combo with Tater Tots and selected a canned beer for my drink. My wife ordered a burger with fries. Soon our order was ready and the packaging was very eco friendly. The chicken pieces were real cuts of chicken and tasted delicious. It was a perfect match for my Karbach beer. The tots were a blessing too. Great atmosphere to hangout to eat and drink. read more

This place was recommended for a great hamburger, so I was in the area and stopped in. It's somewhat of a drag to stand in-line to order, but it flowed quickly. The cashier was pleasant and informative about the beer and menu selections. Always helpful on a first time visit. We elected to sit inside and enjoy our very delicious burgers, cooked to perfection with all the fixin's. The fries were actually amazing, just the right crispness. I'll be back to try some of the other more unique burger choices soon. read more

The staff at this Hat Creek location is always super friendly, professional and accommodating (especially with some of the milk shake combos our kids come up with). Obviously this place is super family friendly and our kids always have a blast when we're there, which makes for an enjoyable experience for the adults as well. read more

Two stars overall for Hat Creek. This review covers breakfast first; their tacos are decent and easy drive thru grub. AND, they remained open while Torchy's abandoned all it's breakfast customers during the pandemic. I would drive in and take home a couple of sausage, egg, and cheese tacos. I don't think the order was ever incorrect; decent salsa too. Here's where things go down hill for HC. It's OVERPRICED. Please don't think of this as an overwhelming endorsement for Burger King, but using the app gets you two burgers, two fries, and two drinks for under $10. Yes, Hat Creek has better food but is it worth $10 more? I mean we're talking the same basic recipe; burger patty, bun, cheese (if desired), and veggies. Oh, and who puts sauerkraut on a burger? Reuben sammich yes, burger no. GF and I dined in the other day. Service was pleasant, food again I'm wondering why I'm paying $10 more versus BK down the street. We sat inside, close to the doors to the patio and playscape. Eastern door has a problem and makes a jarring noise every time it's used. Also, yall need onion rings! read more

What a wonderful place. Filled with energy and happiness. Staff outstanding at welcoming and getting orders. Also great at adding other menu items. Food did take bit to come out and some other orders came out before ours but food was fresh and right temperature. Taste was great and everything cooked well all orders were delivered with a smile read more

Even Popeyes across the street has a better chicken burger. Terry P's has a better burger. And these places are mediocre at best. It's nice that they have a cool sounding brand and play area. But I don't understand why people eat here. I just tried it for the first time, and I am almost regretting what's in my stomach read more

I recently came here for a milkshake and was surprisingly disappointed with the quality and flavor. They do have several very nice options, which looking back I wish I'd tried something else, however the strawberry milkshake tasted of sickly sweet strawberry syrup and was a disappointment compared to pretty much every other strawberry milkshake I've had. 0/10 I do think the facility is very nice, as they offer both indoor and covered outdoor seating and the location features an outdoor play area for children and children-at-heart. You order in line and are able to select any of the seating, as you receive a table number to display. Once your food is ready, they will deliver it to your table, however you do fill your own drinks similar to other fast food chains. All in all, I found the ordering to be very easy. 8/10 I would be willing to visit agin and try a different flavor of milkshake as well as give the burgers a try, however I cannot recommend the strawberry milkshake. Definitely disappointed but again, this review is solely based on the strawberry milkshake and overall facility. Unfortunately, the quality and flavor of food takes precedence for me over the facility, hence the low rating. read more

Better off going to McDonalds. If you order no onions, you will get onions. If you order no pickles, you will get pickles. The fries are barely cooked. Just all around bad. read more

Amazing service and quality of food at this restaurant! I had never visited before and had the tastiest friend chicken sandwich ever! I had to go back a second day in a row! read more

Poor value/Good play area. The food was average quality and over priced. The Big Hat Combo came with a double meat burger, seasoned fries and a soft drink. The burger was fine - meat, cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, white bun. It was nothing special. Seasoned fries were tasty. At $10.5 for the combo I think I could have had similar quality from Whataburger for 20-30% less. My wife's salad, also $10, was the size and price of a steakhouse side salad. The difference being in a steakhouse I would have a white table cloth and a waiter filling my water glass. The play land was clean and well maintained. Had some things for the kids to climb on and nice astro turf. read more

Just wanted to update to add a photo. Hat Creek is still as great as ever! Can't get enough of their veggie burgers and Hat Sauce. read more

If you go in person...all too happy to take the cash...don't try an Uber transaction...they will repeatedly cancel your order...

My family and I picked up food a few weeks ago through the drive thru. We had three Big Hat burgers and fries (family size plus an extra single order). I noticed that the online menu does not have prices listed. It ended up being a bit pricey. The food is good, but I still prefer Smash Burger (sad that there aren't any more in Austin but I digress). The food is really good and very filling. The fries are seasoned and delicious! I like that they had different cheese options for the burger. Overall I enjoyed it. read more

Sweet potato fries are great. The little hat burgers are fair. Kids love the playground. read more

Well shame on me for just giving these guys another chance, and once again my order was 50 minutes late.

Anyone who has kiddos that need to let them loose and eat this is the place. Great idea for families. We came here after a long day out and our toddler needed to run out some energy and we needed to eat something. So we got the best of both worlds. Food is pretty good. Burgers are great and easy when you need to feed kids that are running around. Staff is extremely friendly. What else can you ask for. If you do not have kids or don't like them get your food to go. You will be very overwhelmed and stressed out. My only negative thing I have to say and this isn't anything against Hat Creek it's about the parents. Don't let your kids be jerks. Watch them just because they have a play structure doesn't mean you stop paying attention to them. If you have older kids don't let them be mean to smaller kids. Clean your trash and your kids trash. Don't be 'that' person and don't let your kids be 'those kids'. read more

Skimpy on the fries and flattened burgers all for $40! They hardly put any sauce in the burger. I said something about the fries and they said we weigh them!! read more

Very good grilled chicken sandwich and fries. The Hat Sauce, Happy Sauce and Fry Sauce are the bomb! My daughter loved her Tiny Hat kids meal and finished it off with a Cotton Candy shake. My wife got a Crispy Chicken Cobb Salad. We all enjoyed our lunch and my daughter loved the playground too! read more

I'd say 3 or 4 star place. But the online purchase pick up make it a solid 4 in my book. Fast and easy. Usually ready by the time you get there. I've also enjoyed a beer special and like to wrap my burger in lettuce. Try it out. They salt and pepper your burger so it has some extra flavor. read more

I am always happy with the quality of food and service. Favorite Hat Creek location.

Great place to meet friends for a great burger! I enjoyed the sweet potato fries as well as my burger. My friends liked that it was dog friendly. They also really enjoyed their burger and fries. read more

Hat Creek was one stop with my ex-coworker on our monthly food venue tours around South and Southwest Austin. Hat Creek has a fantastic outdoor patio and a great playscape for kids. No kidding. So great, I was jealous of the kiddos. The first thing I'll say is that the menu seems simple at first, but I found it hard to put together the burger I wanted from the options provided. One tip is that you can make any of the featured "double" burgers a "single" just by asking. So, yes, I ordered a Single Hat Sombrero with sweet potato fries. It takes awhile to get your food here, but we had the buffer of conversation to kill the time. I wouldn't go here in a rush, though. The folks at the drive-thru looked like they were waiting a good long time. The burgers were okay, but expensive for what they were. It's basically Burger King with a price/options uplift. The sweet potato fries were perfection, no regrets there. The real downer of the place was the flies. Not just outside on the patio and playscape, but INSIDE the restaurant. I hate eating while fighting flies. For this reason, if you eat here, I totally recommend getting your food to go. Honestly, of the places to eat at this shopping center in Belterra, I'd say pass on this one. Just not enough going for it, unless you have kiddos to keep entertained while you eat. In that case, it may be the only sane option available. read more

This location is absolutely fantastic. I bring my daughter her often and they took the time to learn both of our names, check in on us during and after our meal, greet us and tell us goodbye, just provide an overall excellent experience. This location has arguably the best customer service I've ever received. On top of that, the food is consistently great. I couldn't recommend this location more. read more

I order from hat creek regularly. My food is always ready to go when I arrive and always correct. They also have the best milkshakes of anywhere I have been. read more

It's a step up from your run-of-the-mill fast food joint, and is known for their burgers. My friends all loved their beef but I opted for their chicken sandwich this time. It was a little overcooked but still tasty. They have a few homemade sauces for dipping, which were all pretty tasty. Tou can order your burger on a bun, wrapped in lettuce, or just on a plate. This place is a good option for a decent burger in a fast-food environment. read more

My review is based upon the veggie burger/gluten free bun-- All I can eat as far as burgers. I personally don't like their veggie burgers and think they are way tooo mushy. I wish they would redo the formula and maybe use a fuax meat instead. Black bean burgers are hard to come by and honestly they normally are not good because they fall apart. I do love me some tator tots though.. but I can do them every now and then since they are 500 calories on their own lol. They are gf and I have never had a tummy issue eating them. The place is small and gets super packed at lunch-- but the customer service has always been great. Customers never wear a mask to save their life--- it's the area-- but the employees do. You can tell that it makes the employees uncomfortable that people come into this small space without wearing a mask and so I do my part and wear one. With that said, when in this area its not a bad option since they are a much healthier version of Fast food than Mcdowals and Whataburger. I do love their transparency on their menu and I dig their message/value. But hat creek can you please redo your veggie burgers? I guess people get it with cheese and that makes the difference-- but a good veggie burger shouldn't need cheese. read more

We are at Hat Creek tonight. It was delicious. Had big Hat with lettuce wrap. It was well made and easy to eat. Everything was hot and delicious read more
