After a round of golf at Lago Vista, this was the perfect spot to grab a burger, fries and beer. I had the OG Smash, with fries and an Electric Jellyfish. Good service, friendly wait staff. read more

The Burger Bar - OG Smash Burger - Burgers Near Me - Lago Vista, Texas

We usually have a burger but this time I tried the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich. It was very disappointing. Not only was it just a thin piece of chicken, it certainly was not hot. I mean not even jalapeño hot. The cook needs to study up on what Nashville hot means. I mentioned it to the waitress and she said others had mentioned that and next time I should ask for extra hot. There won't be a next time for this sandwich. They need to check out Tumble 22 to see how to do Nashville hot chicken. Heck, the spicy filet at Chick-Fil-A is a better size and taste. And the CFA and Tumble 22 meals are even cheaper. Really disappointing trip. read more

I was pleasantly surprised with Burger Bar in Lago Vista. I ordered the Classic Chicken Burger and six bone-in buffalo wings, and both were delicious. The chicken was super moist and flavorful. I wanted to try the sweet potato fries, but they were sold out. My husband ordered the Nashville Chicken Sandwich, the mango habanero boneless wings, and the cheese curds. Everything tasted great, but they definitely need to elevate their spice levels. Nothing was truly spicy, even though the flavors were solid. I also agree with others who mention the pricing. The food is tasty, but the portions aren't huge, so the higher price point can feel a bit steep for the area. That said, we enjoyed the meal and would absolutely eat here again. read more

The Burger Bar - the best server ever - Burgers Near Me - Lago Vista, Texas

Burgers were 5 Stars! Burgers had great flavor and were big...not huge but the flavor was on point!! Haberno Heaven was spicy and bustling with flavor but not too hot to be unenjoyable! I added bacon cuz i add bacon to everything I guess. It was definitely worth the price in my opinion. Don't skip the Sweet Potato Fries either!! Waffle cut and not too sweet. Overall they were the best I've ever had... Best i can describe it, the place is a sports bar with a long bar and several big screens with other booths and couple table. We sat the bar which made service super fast!! Definitely looking forward to coming back next we're in the area!! read more

The Burger Bar - Haberno Heaven with Sweet Potato Fries - Burgers Near Me - Lago Vista, Texas

Service was quick upbeat and spot on. 2:30 on a Friday afternoon- fairly busy w patrons. Parking is good and free. Hamburger is Tastey, ordered bacon it did not come. Pickle some what flat - not a string Dill. Cheese, lettuce, meat, bun all good Lot of juice from patty leaks - smash style so napkins a good idea. Fries show string with crunch panko style coating. Fresh and Tastey. Ketchup - el cheapo made with corn syrup - not kool.. Mustard made right no Dye. Nice little place w sports tvs will be back.. Be careful on 1431 lots of twists and turns.. read more

The Burger Bar - Mustard - no yellow dye! - Burgers Near Me - Lago Vista, Texas

The long awaited sports bar made its way to Lago Vista and I couldn't be happier. The burger bar is a clean, well run restaurant which offers wings, wedge salads, milk shakes and of course, burgers. The food is good enough to enjoy watching your favorite sports team, or just to chill out after a long week. Servers are mostly young and likely from the local HS area which also gives the place a fun atmosphere. We will continually support this place each time we visit the area and are looking to watch a game, or to just hang out a bit and relax read more

The Burger Bar has a little more going for it than some of the other spots in the area. There's some TVs on, people laughing, eating, having a good time. So yeah, the atmosphere is definitely better. It actually feels like a place you'd want to hang out for a bit. The food is solid. My burger was really good. No complaints there. But when you get a burger, fries, and a drink and the total is $18, it definitely makes you stop and think. That's a lot for a cheeseburger combo. Hard to justify spending that much unless it's something really special. I asked if I could sub out my fries for onion rings and they said no. If you want onion rings, you have to order them as a separate full side. So basically they want you to get a burger with fries and a whole extra order of onion rings. That just doesn't make sense. Most burger joints will let you swap sides no problem. That kind of thing should be basic. That said, the food comes out fast and the service is good. They bring your drinks quick and the staff seems on it. So if you're cool with dropping around $20 on a burger, it's worth checking out. But for me, with those prices and no flexibility on simple stuff like swapping sides, it's probably a one-time visit. read more

Burgers are great, we like wings and wedge salad Wednesdays too! Great place to eat and watch a game on TV.

Burgers have always been solid every time I've come here. Artichoke dip is really good and so are the sweet potato fries. Great spot overall in the Lago area. read more

I had a great experience at Burger Bar. The food was really good, the staff was super nice, and it didn't take long at all for our food to come out, which I always appreciate. I had the patty melt and my son ordered the OMG Burger, and we both absolutely loved them. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked just right. I also ordered an Old Fashioned that was so good--and so strong--that I had to get a chaser. Overall, it was a great experience and we'll definitely be back! read more

Passing thru and my son was starving, so we stopped at the Burger Bar. Creative menu with smash burgers with a twist. They were certainly different and very tasty! The only disappointment was the sweet potato fries that tasted double fried and not much substance, mostly old oil flavor. Service was great. read more

Food is good but once it is delivered in their plastic bags, it is soggy and terrible

I would give them 7 stars if I could. This was my first visit after friends told me The Burger Bar was a must. First, the dining is L shaped with a combination of booths and tables. There is a full bar that seats about 20. It's decorated in red, black, stainless steel, and grey concrete. They have 8 or 9 large screen TVs to watch sports. The restaurant is very clean. Large menu of drinks, appetizers, and burgers. I ordered the Figgidy Goat (2 smashed fresh beef patties, fig jam, spinach, and goat cheese on a toasted bun along with sweet potato fries. The fries were some of the best I have ever eaten. Perfectly fried but no grease with just a touch of salt. The combination of sweet jam and salty cheese were a great match for 2 nicely cooked patties. Fantastic flavor. I also had a guava margarita . The staff were friendly and checked on me multiple times. The Burger Bar is DEFINITELY on 'My Keepers List'. read more

I ordered a burger and fries. Uber was 45 min late and the order was not prepared according to my instructions.

Was very indecisive as to what to grab for dinner and came across this place. It was near our air bnb so it was perfect. The burgers were absolutely perfect and the sweet potatoes fries made the perfect combination. Waitress was very friendly and always made sure we were okay. Restaurant was pretty busy due to different football games going on. The guys of the group definitely enjoyed all the tvs. read more

Was so excited to try this place. Went in this past week to experience it. The burger was small and the price was way big. Sorta sticker shock. I am a big burger fan and yes ive tried them lots of places. The burger was good but nothing wow. The in house made chips were way over seasoned IMO and I do like the house made chips. Inside the layout is nice with a big bar and lots of screens. Downsides was super cold so take a long sleeve or sweater. The music was over the top loud to. Dont rush to judgement on my review. If you look at my other reviews of places I typically leave very favorable ones but really cant here. My wife wants to try it so I will go again and try something different for sure...and take a hoodie and ear plugs. ill update this review if I have a better visit. read more

It's time for my honorary Burger Bar visit. Per usual, they did not disappoint on service or food! The only thing I don't love about this place is the fries and the metal baskets. It makes cutting your food so messy! Other than that, still love it and can't wait to go back. read more

Fantastic wait staff and good service. While we really wanted to love the place, the burgers were frankly kind of bland. Milk shake was pricey for the size. As someone with food allergies, staff did not know the ingredients of their sides and had to 'check the package.' And when we asked for BBQ sauce on the side, the receipt came out as 'no BBQ sauce' for the burger, then we were charged $.50 for a side of BBQ sauce. Not the server's fault - this is obviously the fault and inflexibility of the ordering software. It's little things like this that just contributed to a disappointing experience. read more

I changed my mind. House sauce is disgusting and the burger is too thin for the price.

Food was delicious & our server was amazing! We had a table of 10 people & we were sat quickly. The food didn't take long at all & everyone was impressed with their meals. We will definitely be back! read more

Food - 3.5 Stars Service - 2.5 Stars Ambiance - 4.5 Stars I have only been there once and haven't been back since. I'm trying to decide whether to give them another try or not. Food - It was good, but nothing outstanding. It may just be my taste. I'm not a big "Smash Burger" fan. I got a single, and you could damn near see through the patty. Service - This was probably my biggest turnoff. We were greeted and seated promptly. Unfortunately, it went downhill from there. A server never came to our table. After about 5+ minutes, I literally stuck my arm out in front of a young girl walking by our table and asked if she could get our server. She said, "Oh, nobody has come over? I guess I can help you." We ordered, and I asked if we could get onion rings instead of the French fries that came with the burger. I even told her I understood that there would probably be an upcharge, and that I was OK with that. The answer was "no". We would have to buy a separate side of onion rings ($7.95, I think). I also asked if they would cut my burger in half, and again, the answer was "no." When I asked why, I was told it was too confusing for the kitchen staff to keep up with special requests. Ridiculous!!!! So $30'ish (incl tax) for a cheeseburger so thin I could almost see through the patty, an order of onion rings (NOT hand battered), and 2 teas. Ambiance - Nice place, clean, lot's of TV's for watching sports. The $30 price tag, and what I perceive as a lack of customer accommodation, for an average (I'm being generous) cheeseburger gives me pause for returning, but I never say never. read more

Great service and food. Ordered the cheeseburger, ally's cali, habanero heaven, and a side of frickles. Food came out quick and fresh.

The service always very good. They have a nice decor and ambiance. Ordered the garlic Parmesan truffle shareable fries, artichoke dip and the Trip burger: The fries were good and wells seasoned. It's huge so it can truly be good for 3-4 people. The artichoke dip was on the dryer side, artichoke dip should be a little more creamier. However, i did like that the tortilla chips were warmed up and were not salty. The Trip burger was very tasteful. The bun is very fluffy and and the meat was very yummy. I also got the Passion Margarita. It was yummy but i didn't taste the passion fruit as much. Also, my bad that i didn't ask if passion margarita was actually passion fruit or something else. That's on me. read more

We are regulars here and find the food quality hit and miss. The previous trip was good. This last visit was just awful. We always order cheeseburgers and classic fries. My wife looked at her meat patty and said, "This is not a smashburger." My patties weren't smashed either. We both ate about a third of our burger and commented on how dry and tasteless they were. The buns were terrible, barely toasted, dry and not fresh. It was then I realized my burger had no cheese. My wife's didn't either. She pushed her burger away. I hadn't eaten all day, so I choked down the rest after removing one patty. We ate our fries, but they were also terrible. They were way overcooked. We informed our server. He apologized, looked at our order and said there was no cheese requested. It was his mistake. We were charged full price for both meals. They should've at least comped my wife's burger. Incompetent server and incompetent kitchen. Just last week we ordered the same meal from the drive-thru at Freddy's in Cedar Park. Everything was perfect and delicious. Their burgers are real smashburgers. We've also tried all the appetizers here. They range anywhere from bad to mediocre. The pickle slices on the burgers have a bizarre flavor. The bad meals here now outnumber the good ones by a substantial margin. We keep coming back thinking our luck will change, and, there just aren't many places to eat in Lago Vista. read more

Honestly wouldn't come here again because the prices are outrageous for the quality of food. They charge extra for everything as well. 0.75 cents for a bbq sauce??? My chicken sandwich was super thin on top of that. Then my daughter's burger didn't even have a full patty on it? I wouldn't waste your time. Go eat at the sonic across the street. Their smash burger is better than anything these people have on the menu. read more

This place is hit & miss lately - the burgers have gotten smaller & seem to have been pre-cooked, and the price went up a few months ago. The bacon is either over cooked & burned or seriously under cooked (today's order ). Service is ok - usually pretty good if you go early. It'll be a while before we return, sadly. read more

This place is okay. Our first time having them & we weren't that impressed. The burgers are small. The wings were good but we got mango habanero & buffalo. Literally couldn't tell the difference between the 2. read more

Man, I can't wait to come back to this place! For the Buffalo cauliflower alone! Really! It's a surprisingly tasty way to consume cauliflower! Someone knows what they're doing with that fryer. But the real reason to belly up to the Burger Bar is for the burgers, duh. Huge and juicy. Lots of surprising options here, too. Goat cheese, fig jam, spinach. And of course, bacon! I had the option of a gluten-free bun (also great). (And I'm pretty sure there is a vegetarian burger option, too.) Drinks were well made. The Bloody Mary was just the right balance of salt, tomato and vodka. We had table service that was attentive and efficient even though it was busy. The room is ringed with TVs if you're looking for a distraction. read more

I hope this gem stays open! One of the best chicken sandwiches I've had in a long time and one of the few places with fried cheese curds!

Staff that didn't really care. Mediocre burger. Fries that weren't hot. Paper towels that don't absorb anything instead of napkins. Skip this place. read more

Fantastic afternoon happy hour at The Burger Bar today! We arrived there around 3:30 and sat down immediately. Our server was prompt in bringing us menus and taking our order! There is a full bar with plenty of beer on tap and some wine/champagne on tap too - something for everyone! We started with the spinach artichoke dip and some fried jalapeños (they didn't have enough jalapeños for a full order so they brought us what they had and didn't charge us). Apps were great and arrived very quickly. I ordered a simple bacon cheeseburger and my wife got the wings - both were amazing! The burger is cooked to order and is one of the best I've had as of late. Smash burgers are tricky to cook and still keep them juicy but they nailed it. My wife enjoyed the wings - sauce was good and the wings were cooked how she likes them! We can't wait to come back. It's a small place but it never got too noisy and the TVs are enormous! Perfect place to catch a ballgame and have some food and drinks. read more

The food is good and we've always had great service. The portions are quite large, so we share onion rings or fries.

We were at the pool and decided to go to The Burger Bar, I couldn't find a phone number for them to call and see how late they were open and couldn't find their hours on Google, their web page or on FaceBook but YELP said 10pm so we went with that. We got there at 8:35pm, ends up, they close at 9. There were about 12 other people dining when we got there but as soon as we did a cook in the back starting looking at us and screaming, "EWWWWWW! WHO are these People!!!!" He must've been stoned or drunk because he didn't realize that we all could hear him and even the lady at the bar came to our table and apologized as she could hear him to. He screamed that same phrase 7 times no kidding, 7 times, again and again and again... and also while our waitress was taking our drink order. She kept rolling her eyes at him and then went back there to tell him how loud he was being. We acted like we didn't hear anything... Later on, what seemed to be a manager, and a great manager at that, came over and said she heard everything he had said even from the bar area where she was and she apologized again and again. The manager and the waitress did so well to overcome what the cook was doing, if I was the waitress I would have hidden in the back and not visited that table, if I was a young woman having to deal with all this. She came to our table again and again filling up drinks, asking how things were etc. I worked at a place called Z Pizza, doing deliveries about 10 years ago so I know what it's like when it's late and you get a last minute order but damn, I'd never scream at the customers and say, "EWWWWWW, who are these people," like 7 times in a row while staring at them angrily. Definitely will never be back, Lago Vista deserves better, much better than this. Also, if you were wondering, it was the older guy, probably in his early 30's, he was the one screaming at us, the 3 younger looking High School/College aged guys didn't say anything but just laughed at the dumb, old cook, I doubt they respect him at all though. So how was the food? Mediocre, no cheese on my burger and loads of onion, you can tell the cooks don't give two shits about their jobs. read more
