    #1 combo
    Edwyn A.

    Austin classic burger chain. You can get your classic hamburger here in a drive through format. If you want to save a little bit more the combo #1 is even cheaper on Wednesdays and Saturdays. I love their fries yeah they are frozen but to me they are just like Mc Donald's or Whataburger fries just they are more fresh than those places. The burger is typical as most Texas burger joints cooked in a flat top. It's dressed all the way with mayo, mustard, and ketchup. It also has chopped lettuce, onion, and tomato. I've had their Apple pie before and these are fried just like they should be not that 'sassy' baked apple pie you find at the Golden Arches. If you are really hungry you can add a corn dog too. This location is in a prime location off Anderson Ln. so expect a wait at lunch and navigating the lot that it share with Cabo Bob's and a drive through coffee shop. Service is typical of fast food but friendly and you get that classic drive through experience when ordering from the old school menu.

    I'm from Austin. No but like for real. And Short Stop is a legacy if you will, a living legend, an icon. This place gives me all the feels. Nostalgia level maximundo! I don't modify the burger when I order, because like why? The service is consistently solid. And the establishment is sacred. It's a trifecta of fast food burger bliss! Each visit I either say out loud or think to myself the words "reporting for duty". If you know, you know

    Soft Frozen Strawberry Lemonade with a Cherry on top

    This location offers fast and great customer service the few times I've stopped by. Once I had a large order and they set up a box for me so I could carry both the drinks and food with ease. We can never forget my daughter's favorite... Soft Frozen Strawberry Lemonade with extra Stawberry.

    Short stop for this shortie?! Count me in! I even took my shortie (not for much longer) and enjoyed a little lunch date to go. We didn't take the vegetarian which was a good idea because this place had zero options for the veggie king. Here's my take: -Great fast burger -Pricey for fast food -Two drive thrus (sweet!) -Tasty and yummy -No Vegetarian options -They have fish, chili dogs, and chicken burgers as well Hope this helps your decision if you're in a hurry but don't want to try the norm.

    Shout out to Short Stop, this location, and their employees! They're the sweetest!!! After the snowpocalypse in Austin all locations were either out of food or just closed! And honestly just wanted to eat a good burger! Short Stop never fails!!!! Great burger joint for fast food!

    Hair in fries
    Pedro S.

    Ordered a bacon burger and fries. They ended up having a hair in them which was not the worst part. They didn't want to do anything about it, such a shame.

    Long hair

    I went and get burgers for my kids and all of three of them had long hairs in them and when I called they said they couldn't do nothing about it I had to throw them away and when I call they said they need it proof when I saw no one was wearing hairnets I wish I could give a 0

    My name is Alice Brown and I want all to know about the Short Stop (#5) on Anderson Lane. First of all the burgers etc are always fresh and tasty. And the frozen strawberry lemonade is sooooo good. It is fresh and tastes like real strawberries. But what really makes this establishment is the staff. Always have a smile on, courteous and just nice. Everytime I go there (which is alot) the employees are in good moods. The manager Jose takes special care and treats customers with respect. I have lived in this neighborhood going on 40 yrs and this Short Stop has been here at least 25 yrs.Double Meat Cheese Burger Definitely an important part of the area with nice people and good food.

    One of the best burgers I've had since moving to Austin 3.5 weeks ago. Prices are okay. We will definitely make another stop soon

    I was hopping into the Aristocrat Lounge for a private event and after getting there a little too…read moreearly, my buddy and I decided to hit up Happy Chicks for a quick bite beforehand. I've been to their location off 6th street, but I couldn't remember a thing. Here, I knew I wouldn't forget. Happy Chicks off Burnet is small. There's like 5 tables inside, and the line's path wraps around them. Their menu is simple. Chicken fingers? If so, how many? I ordered their Happy Chick with 3 tenders that I got spicy. All orders come with fries plus an extra side and a sauce. I got a side of their mac and cheese and some honey mustard. Chicken is an uphill battle especially if it's cooked shortly after ordering. 10 minutes later, and our food was served to us outside. The breading on those tenders was intense. They were crispy with an earth-shattering crunch with plenty of flavor. The spicy was not spicy whatsoever. Just a slightly more seasoned tender. The fries were crispy and a pretty standard affair at a local spot like Happy Chicks. The mac was a great side choice as I thought they did a pretty nice job with them as well. The prices were pretty fair with a chicken sandwich costing $9.99 and my 3-piece meal costing me a cool $12.50 There's so many chicken tender spots going around in Texas, but it's always cool to come to an Austin-localized spot to mack down on some poultry.

The fries were crispy and crunchy, and the fruit cup was fresh and delicious. The restaurant was clean and the staff were friendly. I will definitely be back!
