Economical option with quality ingredients. Friendly staff. Consistent. Their $1 cookies are surprisingly quite good. 5/5

Great quality locally sourced food. Fries are real potatoes and not delivered by a frozen food truck. It's the only place I will eat a hamburger now that I have experienced the quality and know I am eating food without additives. read more

**COVID - drive thru review** We've ordered from this location multiple times and each experience has been consistent. Everyone is adhering to safety measures - masks are required. Staff has been pleasant and the quality of food is spot on. I am addicted to their french fries. It can get a little chaotic at drive thru with tons of cars trying to get in line (there are two lanes) but to me, it's worth it - I do recommend. read more

12/17/2020 is when I became a P Terry's customer for life! I love supporting locally owned businesses and here is one of the many reasons why... I was frazzled after a 9 hour road trip and couldn't find my credit card after placing my combo $8 order in the drive-through. By the time I got up to the window to pay, I shared my embarrassing inability to find my credit card. I had just $2 in my wallet and offered to bring back the rest tomorrow or to quite understandably forfeit my order altogether. The cashier was kind and patient with my scrounging for my card or some semblance of dignity. She even offered to type in my credit card information if I had it, goodness, that would be a wonderful thing to have. She ended up talking to the manager and offered me my food free of charge. This kindness was beyond what any customer should expect. P Terry's employees are incredible! Oh and the food - best fast food burger in town, ridiculously good and toasty fries with skins and the strawberry milkshake is divine. I've been a loyal customer since they opened up 15 years ago, but now my fandom took on a new level! Thanks for turning around a rough day with your generousity! read more

P. Terry's Burger Stand - Receipt to give props to cashier 1111 on register 2 - Fast Food Near Me - Austin, Texas

Finally had the famous burger I've heard so much about since I arrived in Austin. I am visiting from California, and I have to say that as soon as I pulled up to the drive -thru........ it reminded me of In & Out burger in California... good service, friendly staff and a feeling of an old family owned business. Their double cheese burger is cheesy, juicy and delicious, and their signature French fries are soft, crispy and just as good! I am a fan....and love... love P. Terry's Burger!!! Will definitely come back...just like their sign says "see you tomorrow!" read more

As far as fast food goes, P Terry's is one of my favorites. We live nearby and order from the William Cannon location often. I've never had a bad experience with them. From their burgers to their shakes and fries, you can't go wrong. Their service is consistently friendly and quick. read more

Coming from California, this is the closest thing to In-n-out and I had the #5 vegetarian burger with everything and added grilled onions - SO GOOD! Tasted just like in-n-out with their special sauce. Their fries are great warm and fresh but have a hard time making it the 15 min drive home. I also tried their lemonade and a shake and loved those too - I crave their lemonade and can't wait to get that again. Overall, this is my favorite fast food burger place here and is a great option if you're vegetarian! No more grilled cheese at fast food burger places! read more

Just had this for my second time for lunch today! I #doordashed it and it was amazing. Came hot and ready for me to consume. I ordered the double cheese burger and it was so cool how I could add or remove a bunch of options to go with the burger. The fries are thin cut and salty! I love thin cut so these fries are Forsure some of the best fries I've had so far. I will be coming back for more read more

First time getting a chicken burger, it was pretty good! What I like is that the fries are usually fresh, service was nice. Now it doesn't taste the best but you get what you pay for. read more

This fast food joint has really good "diner" food. Delicious shakes, burgers and fries. It was very reminiscent of In-N-Out Burger. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a quick bite to eat. read more

Where's Marvin Zindler when you need him? There was slime floating in my grandchild's 7UP (Lake Creek location). Called to complain, left a message, no response. No more fountain drinks for us! read more

Two years have passed since my last review, and I was tiring of the extra distance to the place we usually buy burgers farther west on William Cannon, so I thought I'd give this P Terry's location yet another try. Despite the helter-skelter chaos of P Terry's parking lot, their location was just too damned convenient not to give a third chance. In fact, I gave them three consecutive chances at the drive-thru, all within the same week. The first two experiences were fine substitutes, the third, not so much. The first two burgers were great, but the third got a "never again" rating by its intended victim. Their fries are still absolute crap, of course, so, if you have to find a way to fill your gut, I recommend buying a double burger instead of putting up with their wretched fries. The shakes seem to have improved and remain one of their better draws. Why only three stars, you ask? If you're in the burger business, your fries need to rival your burgers. Minus one star for abject failure in that category--take a page from Mickey D's playbook here, will ya? A second star is lost for predictability and reliability. You can't be my "go to" place if your consistency has no quality control and is left to the luck of the draw of the cook du jour at the grill. Four years into the game at this location, these issues can no longer be considered start-up jitters. It's just plain impoverished management. read more

I mean what the heck is wrong with people. I never, I mean never, go to fast food restaurants. Blame that on being raised in London during the late 60's-70's when fast food American burgers hadn't taken hold and created toothless fat Brits. I had heard that apparently P Terry's was an awesome burger fries place. Even reading some of the glowing reviews, you may think to oneself, wow this place must be truly be a cut above the rest. Whole Wheat buns, cows who had full massage services and pedicures before being slaughtered for someone's dinner and hand cut fries that would make an Irish Potato farmer cry. Well I am here to tell you.. Lies, Lies all Lies..!!!! Being the DD a few nights back and taking my sweet little Suzie home, she suddenly turned into a starving water buffalo with an appetite which couldn't wait any longer. I tried my best to convince her I could make her a sammy or something once we arrived to the casa. But she wasn't having any of it and after much nagging and posturing, I reluctantly pulled into P Terrys. Ordered a couple of Double Cheeseburgers on whole wheat and large fries. On the way home, the noshing started with little bites of fries and once in the house the unveiling of the awesome greatest burgers ever took place. And.. yuck. What the hell is this? Soggy burgers and fries. What an insult the cow. I mean this rendition couldn't be any better than every friggin fast food burger in the world. Hence, why I don't eat at these establishments. But, ,what was the glorious sound I was hearing.. It was my dear wifey cooing and stuffing her pie hole with greasy average at best meat pieces and limp soggy fries. She was in heaven and once she finished her meal, she got all romantic on me. Many hugs and kisses later, I realized nirvana... when I am responsible for DD duties and feeling frisky, all I need to do is to drive through the nearest P Terrys and pick up my sweetie a double and fries, the new female Viagra in our house. So 5 stars baby! read more

You see P. Terry's all over town. There's a reason for that. They have excellent, inexpensive food! They have great burgers, but their chicken burgers are really amazing. They grind the white meat chicken on-site daily and you can taste the difference. Really tasty and fresh. Good fries too, always hot. I had been wanting to try their breakfast egg burger for the longest time. A few weeks ago I went in on the weekend and had a egg burger with sausage and cheese. It was a nice folded scramble egg, sausage patty, cheese on a soft burger bun. It was freshly cooked and quite tasty. I've been back 3 weekends in a row now for this $2.97 breakfast. Can't beat that! read more

1st time here. Ordered a Cheeseburger combo with a Lemonade. Here's what I can tell you... To the people who claim this place is Texas' version of In-N-Out, you are sadly mistaken! Nothing about the food here says INO. The #1 issue I take with the food is the Fries. These things are little grease/oil strings. They're so skinny and tough. I only ate 3-fries. While the burger was good, it had a season to it that clearly makes it different than INO. Sorry, P. Terry's. No 5-stars from me. This particular location gets 4-stars because of the cleanliness of the diner. read more

We love P. Terry's. The burgers are simple and classic. The ingredients are fresh and local. This means we can eat a burger and not feel like crap afterwards. The French fries are always hit or miss based on the cook, time of day, etc. they can be a bit softer, or rock hard, or anywhere in between. It's definitely their most inconsistent cook experience. The milkshakes are a treat every now and again and they're always perfect and classically simple. All in all, there's really nothing bad to say. If you want a burger and fries and you've been going to in-n-out or whattaburger then you're going to LOVE p. Terry's. read more

Sweetest girl took our order here! She had a great attitude and made conversation with us. Food was great as always.

Usally really on it but today is a tough day for P. Terry's. Good on them as they reached out to me in under 24 hours - shows good management. Of course, I'm going back - they provide a tasty burger a a good price. Thanks P. Terry's. read more

P. Terry's Burger Stand - The locked door for no reason - Fast Food Near Me - Austin, Texas

To go order for my family was shorted an order of fries and they weren't busy. Didn't discover this until already home. Tried to call them. No one answered. It ruined the meal--hadn't picked up food for the kids out in a long time so not having all the food wasn't pleasant. Left a review online. They emailed to say they would send a gift card. I just got the "gift card" with a letter apologizing for the inconvenience and they gave me a coupon for ....an order of free fries. Um, they're not free. I already paid for them that night. Wow. That's it? Just giving me what I already paid for, nothing for the inconvenience? read more

I'll admit it - I think P. Terry's has better food than any other fast food burger joint in town. I always get the double cheeseburger and add bacon and grilled jalapeños. Also, the fried chicken sandwich isn't bad (not gloriously amazing but quite good). In hot Texas summers (and falls and springs and sometimes even winters) I love iced tea and P. Terry's iced tea is made just the way I like it - and I'm super picky about iced tea. It's slightly strong but not overly so and they add lemons which make a nice touch. The only drawback is that I'm not a fan of the fries, but I'm not a "fry guy" in general so you might end up liking them - they're just not for me. read more

PT, your Austin legend is doing the RIGHT THING. All-natural black angus beef Hormone FREE Antibiotic FREE Vegetarian FED Only $2.30 for a burger or $6.60 for combo of drink and fries. I really enjoyed my iced tea and French Fries (GLUTEN FREE) that reminded me of the steak fries cut thin like my Ma used to fry us as kids. French Fries are my favorite in town and taste homemade and they serve ketchup all natural NO high fructose corn syrup. Way to go PT! I am your fan. Also I loved the lettuce wrap burger and the cool dude behind the counter reassured me Fries were gluten free! Cool read more

I love this place!!!! I always come here when I visit. You have to get their food. Trust me its delish if you add some Jalapeño and onions. Well, if you like that. I have eaten at IN AND OUT from Cali and now in Some cities in Texas. Trust me, P Terry's takes first place. Then Freddy's, then In and out. So P Terry's to me is the yummiest. This only happened once: They always let me swap my soda In the combo for a shake. However, this kid ( the so called manager) decided to charge me for my combo, no soda, and no shake. When I got home, I called him. He said, they weren't doing that anymore. Since when?! At least let me know and give me what I paid for. He said he would only credit shakes. I still have not received any credit!! It's the location at William Canon. I still have had no one contact my email I left them, nor have I gotten the gift card they promised. Oh well. But, I will still go there. read more

We enjoy the convience of this place. We usually get lunch and sit on the patio before heading to softball.

Ok... I love P Terry's burgers! They are an absolute staple for me when it comes to burgers! So when I saw they were adding a crispy chicken sandwich to the menu I thought for sure I would have to try it... and I did... and I wasn't impressed. There wasn't anything to call home about. So when it come to a chicken sandwich, stick with Chic-Fil-A read more

Long time "regular," first-time review. Typically doing drive-thru on a tight schedule as "Mom's taxi" hasn't warranted time or thought to review... until today (so, sorry no pics: playing the same role again!). Why today's review, besides being "overdue"? Here yesterday for 1 kid, today for the other: #3 Combo (different "stuff" on burgers, fries for both, different drinks). - Drive-thru line: much appreciate when they have 2 lines open (today & yesterday: only 1 line): 11-13 minutes being the 4th car from the order station to receipt & driving away. Happy that we saw cars bail when they saw the 2nd line wasn't open. - Burgers are ALWAYS appreciated in any form. Never any complaints from us. - Drinks: the same. - Fries. P.Terry's has been my family's standard to which we compare all others. Yesterday's fries were as expected. Today's left a terrible aftertaste. It's as though the oil was yesterday's (24-hrs of "x" # of batches since): yeah, noticeably not as good to us. However, I must admit a significant influence for my family to become "sensitive" to this/any difference: Mother's day this year, I got a mandolin that slices potatoes for fries of the same size AND an air fryer. Our homemade fries are WAY better, any way you slice it (punny, har har - but seriously true). Though yesterday's fries from P.Terry's were good/as expected (but still not as good as homemade), today's were "terrible" by comparison. As my kids understand that we don't always have the time to do homemade, it is interesting that now we ALL can tell the difference of what we suspect is oil freshness. Bottom line for us: burgers, yes. Fries: biasedly may skip. Drinks: yay. Drive-thru line without the 2nd line is bearable; much better with 2. Giving 4 stars: consistent history of appreciated good burgers and service. Can't rightfully give only 3 because of our personal bias (not the norm to make your own fries). Can't give 5 because a) inconsistent drive-thru lanes, and b) fry-oil difference was absolutely detectable as regular customers. Hope this helps! read more

P. Terry's Burger Stand - Fries were "meh" (mostly uneaten), unfortunately. Not necessarily P.Terry's fault: We're spoiled with our homemade air-fried version. - Fast Food Near Me - Austin, Texas

This is my favorite P. Terry's. When I am in the area, desire a burger, I choose them over all other fast food burger places. Everything is fresh, you can stand there watching it being made (hey, I used to cook on a line so I like to watch when I can), the employees are friendly, it is usually very clean and calm. It takes a little while longer to make up a burger from beginning to end, but it is worthwhile. Thus the drive-thru can start to fill up fast and moves a bit slow. That is why I just park and walk in on most occasions. The parking lot can be crazy as people are speeding through from all directions and other shopping areas. I do not suggest parking where the drive-thru is located during lunch. Park in the front, stop in and relax. I also like that the employees are paid a living wage. It certainly shows in their demeanor and quality of product. read more

Our typical go to when we crave a burger. Left drive-thru lane is typically faster.

So I had to break from my vegan tradition and try a P Terry's Burger. I thought it was very good, beef was tasty, put together well and had good flavor. I thought the french fries were excellent. read more

Been twice and messed up order both times. Forgot items, wrong things on burgers, wouldn't let me check at window. Never going back

This is our go-to fast food burger joint! The fries and shakes are my favorite things. Extra great that everyone working at this location is helpful, kind and efficient. read more

So bummed! I love P. Terry's! So I made the trek from Buda. Got here around 11:15am, ordered the cheeseburger combo. The bottom bun was hard as a rock. The burger patty is tough. I feel like I got the leftover from last night. Bottom line- check your buns read more

Never go through the drive thru at this location. Order online as they have a dedicated pick counter for such orders. Only sucks when there is a line for online orders when pick up because the cashiers in the adjacent lines that are literally right next to the online order pick up line will never assist even if there is no one placing an order for instore. To me this latter gripe shows how the lack of team work fails the drive thru every time. Last tip for those online orders, don't park in the "interior" parking spots as you will be blocked in by the oh so slow drive thru. Anddd don't be fooled by the lunch double drive thru lines - they are just as slow even when limited cars are already in line. Two stars only because this locations facilitates an online order pick up (somehow many still don't, even their original location) - zero compliments otherwise - average P Terry's stand that is of course better than the other local middle/high school ran drive thrus in the area. read more

They have many of these in Austin and I can see why! What I love about a good restaurant is that they label what ingredients and grade they use. 100% all natural, no antibiotics juicy meat! They have all different kinds such as their homemade recipe veggie burger, chicken, and beef of course. I tried the double cheeseburger with the fries and it was great! They pride on their freshness and I can see why! Fries tasted so great and fresh, not heavy at all. Will definitely come here as to the alternative chains when it comes to burgers! Love it! read more

P. Terry's Burger Stand - Double cheeseburger with fries - Fast Food Near Me - Austin, Texas

I found my lunch to just be ok. The fries were great, hot and fresh with the perfect amount of salt. My burger was greasy, the tomato was not very fresh, it was mealy and soft. I read other reviews about the cookie so I got two, one for me and one to share. I didn't care for this either. It tasted like it had a crazy amount of baking soda and was not a soft cookie it was almost rock like. I'm not a fan of this place, I'd prefer 5 guys burgers. read more

I LOVE P.Terrys! This location and all locations take time to get through the drive through, but it's totally worth it. So far I've never had a messed up order. I always get the same thing and I love it. A double cheese burger. Most the time both drive through a are open. It's a busy place with some good food. read more

Overall: -This location has an indoor seating area -Two-lane, but still relatively slow drive thru -Have to request onions & pickles -Ordering a combo gets you a $0.40 discount, so you're free to order any drink (including shakes) that you want -Love that lettuce and tomatoes are always cold and crisp -Super polite and accommodating staff -Prices are slightly higher than Whataburger, but worth it -Great fresh-squeezed lemonade, very sweet but also very lemony Beef burger: -Delicious, but rivaled by the chicken burger -The patties are on the thicker side, so I've always found doubles to be excessive Chicken burger: -Covered in cheese and special sauce, just as good as beef -Moist, tender, juicy and best chicken burger I've found in ATX Veggie burger: -Surprisingly awful--tough, dense and dry -Very thin patty, detracting even further Fries: -Very thin, natural cut fries that only stay crispy the second they are out of the fryer -If I'm eating in, I'll order them, but if I'm doing to go, they're usually a soggy mess by the time I get to my destination -Huge portions Shakes: -Chocolate is best, but ask for double chocolate (I usually don't get charged) -Ask for them "upside down" because the chocolate sauce at the bottom doesn't get mixed in well with their machine read more
