    chicken sandwich and waffle fries
    Aruni G.

    This review is for their food truck just outside of Wanderlust Wine on Shady Lane. The food was decent. The service was chaotic. The person who we think was in charge did his best to hold it together given that no ones online orders seemed to go through so while we were attending the Broadway Drag show. There were two people working. One person got really defensive and I didn't see anyone being rude to him or them while we were in line. We were all confused why our food wasn't ready and they didn't seem to have any idea what our orders were so we had to re-tell them our orders and wait maybe an extra 30 min to an hour past when the online order app said our food would be ready! There was a line of people waiting in the hot sun to repeat and wait for our orders so some missed out on the actual show waiting for food. The one younger guy worker apparently just quit on the spot saying "I only get paid $15/hour" and walked off leaving the other guy to fill all the orders! Many people will understand technical difficulties and we saw the the one guy left trying to do his best to fill the orders. I think customers were frustrated but we all just had to wait it out. Kudos to the guy who didn't give up!

    Averaging to ~$11/12 a burger, this local and hard to spot burger joint truly tasted like a $$$$ Michelin star restaurant. With only 2 young gentlemen running the place, they went above and beyond to making our first experience so pleasant. My partner and our friend both got the actual beef burgers and after a few moments of finishing their food, they had to be convinced to not order another!! My chicken sandwich was also so delicious and tender, with house made sauce and pickles to complement the flavor. Would 100% come back and visit to try their other menu items, and I hope that more UT Austin students come try this place out as well!

    Holy Cow, you could zip right by this place without ever realizing it's a Hamburger joint. The sign is faded out so you can't really read it any longer. Parking is limited and so is the space inside. We were there on a Sunday around 1 pm and it was not crowded and there was sufficient parking. Step inside and it looks like you're in a 7-11. If atmosphere is your fancy, then this is NOT the place you want to go. I didn't pay so I don't know if they add a surcharge for credit card purchases but that's getting to be too common around the area for food places. On to the food. Their claim to fame is Locally produced (in Fredericksburg, Texas) grass fed beef. The standard hamburger is 1/3 a pound before cooking and includes all the toppings (cheese extra). The burger was good, but for the price I couldn't tell the difference from the grass-fed beef and whatever the other cows eat. At 1/3 pound it had the size advantage over most other burgers. It was not greasy like some places that do had patted burger patties, and it had a nice mild flavor. The bun was absolutely exceptional. It was fairly thin but it held together perfectly with all the sloppy sides and never fell apart, yet it was chewy and easy to the bite. I've never had a bun quite like that but, in my opinion, they all need to be made that way. The fries are the jewel of this burger basket. They are hand cut with the skins on and fried to perfection. Not at all oily and not loaded down with salt. Perfect French fried potatoes. The onion rings are definitely homemade, they slice the big Bermuda onions right there, batter them and drop them in the deep frier. I'm a sucker for good onion rings, but someone else was treating so I skipped them, but they looked amazing. They have regular Pepsi and then some healthy name sodas I had never heard of. I did try the cherry and it was pretty good, but mostly drank the Pepsi. There is no service to speak of: They yell out your name and you get the food. If business is slow, which it was on the day we were there, they bring the food to your table. Now we know that anything that has WHOLE in the name also costs a WHOLE lot of money. And the price was on the hefty side,t - mainly due to the 1/3 pound local grass fed burger. Burger, small fry, small drink was $18.66 with tax. I assume the price as the three of us each had the same thing and the total bill was $56, so divided by three. Now we don't live in Austin, so it's a long drive for us to go to South Lamar from Cedar Park and although it was decent food, I wouldn't be tempted to go back there even if I lived nearby mainly due to the price. When I do eat a burger, it's generally for a quick lunch and a Wendy's single meal for half the price is fine for me. If you're a burger fanatic then it might be worth the extra price.

    4.5 I finally went to Wholly Cow restaurant with my husband. From the exterior I thought it looked like a convenient store but you walk in and there is an ordering window and lots of seating. They sell a variety of other things such as salsa and summer sausage. We walked up to the ordering window and placed our order. I got the Wholly Clucker which is a fried chicken sandwich that has lettuce, pickles, and a spicy sauce. The chicken in the sandwich was good. It was thin and juicy on the inside but crispy on the outside. For my side I ordered a half order of onion rings. The onion rings were yummy. The onions had a sweet taste to them. The exterior part of the onion rings were crispy but not overly crispy. The combination made for a yummy side. My husband ordered the Pure Single Hamburger without cheese and he added bacon and grilled jalapenos. I tried it and it was really good. The burger was very flavorful and I would probably get that next time. For his side he ordered a half order of fries. The fries were large and soft. There were a few crispy small ones in the basket which I liked. To finish off our meal my husband and I split a chocolate chip cookie. It was soft and sweet and the perfect end to our meal. We also picked up some Summer Sausage before leaving and brought it home. It is really good. I will probably return for this alone as it's a great snack with crackers. Overall It was a good place to stop for lunch. The service was friendly, the atmosphere was casual and inviting, and the food was tasty.

    I did what anyone does when their hungry order the closest thing to be delivered as I was at work and to busy to leave. I am glad I did. I ordered the holy double cheeseburger with bacon, lettuce and tomatoes. I am a no sauce kind of person. The burger was phenomenal...so juicy and fresh even as a dleivery order. I can only imagine what he taste like in person. I got Swiss cheese on this and debated on extra cheese but I am glad I didn't...because the ratio was perfection and the Swiss flavorful. A lot of time Swiss cheese doesn't have the appropriate flavor or lack of but I can tell Wholly Cow took an effort in choosing their items to procure for their burgers. I got the side of tater tots as I feel if tater tots are always an option you should. They were crispy and as a regular tater tot is in flavor as well. Nothing extraordinary but I did eat every bite. I recommend checking out Wholly Cow and take a friend so you can try some different options.

    WoW Wholly cow Batman!... This hole in the wall that my wife found is awesome. The food was top notch and the server was really chill. Totally recommend this spot.

    This is supposedly a patty melt as ordered.

    Typical hipster self absorbed "look at me" place. Dirty and unkempt looking. Sticky seats and table. Got a patty melt. Complete failure. Turning a burger bun upside down isn't toast. Shockingly true. Meat was grey and not cooked all the way. Cold center.

    So worth the wait! Wholly cow this place is underrated! We went in expecting to build a six pack, which they don't do anymore, and ended up getting some really great sandwiches. The guy at the counter was working alone and totally crushing it. He not only took the time to thank us and introduce himself, but he also ran us orders while cooking everyone's food! It was super surprising to find that this spot had not just one but several vegan options, and locally sourced (and non GMO) options for our meat eating friends. The ambience is quieter with no music and instead friendly conversations from the patrons. It's smaller, kind, and welcoming. This spot has a small town country store vibe where you order at the counter and can shop around for jams, baked items, and of course beer! Will be back for great food and wonderful service. Club 5/5 Philly 5/5 Vegan Philly 5/5 *would recommend a water station for the future!

    First time in Austin and I wanted burgers really bad! We stopped by because of the grass fed claims, and let me tell you I am 100% obsessed! Clean ingredients, absolutely delicious and I love that they have gluten free options too! If you are a Whole Foods eater, this place is for you! The staff was so kind and professional! I also love the bodega feels! You know it's fire when it also has a small store inside! I will be back!

I'm going to repeat that - a crisp, golden disc of potato love is in the burger. Not on the side. In. Be still my heart (literally, I think that got me close to a heart attack).

First off, i'm so over places offering only Maine Root options. These always taste horrible. Id pay double for a canned coke or pepsi anyday. Before we get to the disappointment of a burger, lets talk about the onion rings and the fries, as they shared the same problem. Either your oil needed to be changed 2 days ago, or your timer stopped working. Both came out brown and tasted of bitter overused oil. Now to the burger. I do appreciate the amount of pickle slices on this burger, but this heavy hand was also responsible for the mustard levels! I think i'll be tasting mustard for a couple days. The bun was too soft and barely held up to the task. If I do give this place another shot, it will be minus mustard for sure.

I'm a girl who prefers no pickles on burgers so that's my own bias but even my partner stated he felt the burger was very pickle forward. The waygu beef was suppose to be star, especially at the price point for this ($40 for two burgers, a diet coke, and a shared order of beast fried), and it simply wasn't. Both the burger and fries were well cooked but my feedback is slapping what seems to be sliced cheese that will only melt to the top layer of fries and leave the rest without any toppings feels like a missed opportunity. It makes it harder even grab fries because they are conjoined together by the cheese. I like consistency in each bite, once the top layer of fries was gone they were just plain Jane fries. I think if the burger had some crunchy / crispy to just break up all the soft textures that would be nice as well. Like subbing the grilled jalepenos for raw ones. I can't say I'd go out of my way for this spot again with other competitors like Buddy's being closer and less pricey but it was still a well cooked burger. But if you like pickles, this is the place for you! It's bar/ high top dining only so definitely a casual, quick bite stop.

    It's been a while since we've been back here and since then, they've moved and this is their…read moreSECOND, new location. Whoa! I studied their website before we went as a review session and they have a section with ingredients and options for food allergies and special diets. I got there prepared and the owner was there and I found out that website hasn't been updated in about 2 years. Many things have changed, but not their website. Our go-to Meati Sandwich is no longer on the menu. But I must say I love the new place. Bold, clean, awesome. Other than that, not too much has changed; they still have a lot of mouthwatering items on the menu... and my family can only eat one burger on the menu. We're allium-free vegetarians and there's alliums in sauces and certain proteins used. Thankfully, we were speaking to one of the co-owners and he was super helpful and patient with us, even looking up ingredients and letting us double check. He is aware of the Jain diet. They also have a kids menu and we actually ordered off of one for the first time for the kids (just a simplified version of the regular burgers), We ended up ordering: MISSION BURGER ($16.95): a classic burger with 2 Impossible patties. Having said that, the patties were super thin and smooshed flat. The guys got this burger. Took out onions and subbed out the house sauce with ketchup and mustard. JR MISSION BURGER ($12.95): same as the regular with only 1 of the smooshed impossible patties. My sister and I got this. A very good burger and it's such a nostalgic feeling eating a burger (that I didn't make myself for once). The burger was perfectly filling but I could definitely also eat a regular Mission with no issues since the patties are smooshed down. KIDS' CHEESEBURGER W/ FRIES (1 with a gluten-free bun), both $11.99 so no additional cost for GF: both my kids got this with nothing added in other than cheese and the smooshed impossible patty. The saddest looking burgers BUT they ate it! The gluten-free bun is a bit... flattened, but my kid ate half of it there and finished it on the car ride out of Austin. Then asked for another one. In fact, he's still asking for another one and it's been almost 2 weeks. My other kid (picky, no allergies) likes it as well, but didn't finish and not as much as her brother. But she definitely loved the fries. SMALL FRIES ($3.50): almost every order of burgers came with a side of fries. These are perfect, stayed delicious, and were perfectly seasoned. If you are gluten-sensitive or have a wheat allergy, do know they use a shared fryer for ALL their fried items. My kid with the food allergies couldn't eat them, just to be safe. COOKIES AND CREAM MILKSHAKE ($11.95): This is made with their soft serve and regular Oreo cookies. SO GOOD. My daughter and my vegan sister got one each. Not too sweet, hit the spot perfectly. I would like to suggest they offer a gluten-free version made with GF Oreos if they can figure out how to significantly eliminate cross contamination... or just use only GF Oreos. VANILLA SOFT SERVE ($3.99): fun fact - these are lentil protein based! Got this for my kid with the food allergies (he's allergic to wheat, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, avocado, pineapple, kiwi) who prefers real dairy and he ate almost the entire cup! It's a pretty hefty serving. I had a taste and it's pretty good. Very close to the dairy version. We were thrilled with our visit. Everything tasted great! I loved how there isn't an additional cost for a gluten free bun (it's a little wonky shaped... irregularly flattened on top). My food allergy kid asked me to make him a burger because he misses the one he got here and he specifically requested for buns with a round top so it's apparently a sore spot with him. I also love how I could actually talk to someone and make well informed decisions on what we could order... and we ordered everything we could have (aside from desserts). I'm a bit sad Mission Burger is so far away, but I guess it just means we'll have to stop by Austin when we're in Texas again. Thank you for another amazing experience!

    My BFF and I came here looking for Spin Burger and realized this location had moved in. Sad I…read moredidn't get a burger frisbee, but this was a great substitute. FREE Chocolate Chip Cookie - The cookies are definitely great--no crazy standout, but they had a distinct oat flavor. I can imagine sea salt would enhance the flavor even more. I love chocolate chip, though... and FREE is the best seasoning. Mushroom Truffle - We agreed to split these burgers 50/50, and bro zoned out while eating; I got like 1/4 of it. Hopefully that emphasizes how much he enjoyed this burger. The first thing I noticed was that the patty wasn't as thick. I do like their burgers and how they're medium-rare, but this one was much more packed with mushrooms, per the burger style. If it had the B&B patty, this would've been my favorite. Hold up--I did not know this was an Impossible patty. Not bad, but it does explain the difference in flavor. Still, it paired exceptionally well with the mushrooms. Black & Blue - Very deep flavors. I didn't like it as much as the Mushroom Truffle. In fact, I felt like this was way too saucy. The blue cheese didn't hold the show as much as the rest of the burger, and I'm a sucker for blue cheese. Like, inject Penicillin straight into my soul; obsessed. Anyways, it was just okay. My BFF and I agreed that these burgers are TENDER. Like, "didn't have to chew; it was a soft slush in my mouth" tender. Anyways, the sauce on both of these was on point--the first bite was a very obvious banger of flavors. Okay. I lied; these are ALL Impossible patties. Instantly changed the game because these were very well executed. On the way out, one of the workers (perhaps the owner) asked for our feedback. Apparently, many of these burgers are new menu items, and we got to hear a bit of their backstory (and got another FREE cookie). Some of the loveliest people I've met. I really love what they're doing here, and I'm glad they moved just 15 minutes away from our location. Wishing them the best!

There is some picnic bench seating if you care to eat there, but each order is ready to take home You can also find a menu and other information posted on the outside. The menu mostly offers burgers, but there are a couple other offerings like a cheesesteak, partner, etc. The staff were very friendly and precessional. I really appreciated that they double checked everything in our to-go bags against what we ordered just to make sure we had everything. Everything was bagged, and the orders had the individual order and special order requests written on top Everything tasted great. The burgers were classic burgers, slightly messy, but very flavorful. The fries weren't quite as crisp as I like, but they were seasoned well and tasty Some tips: Consider ordering online so you can have your meal ready when you arrive The burgers/entrees don't come with fries, so, consider ordering a couple fries to share. One order of fries is more than enough for 2 people to share. To do this just make your meal a combo on the ones you want to have fries. Combos also come with a drink, but it's not a fountain drink it's in cans which they also bag for you Cheers!!

The few negative reviews mentioned bland burgers, but the positive ones say these are the best burgers in town. I thought I couldn't be unlucky enough to be in the minority and receive bland burgers, but, boy, was I wrong! NO SEASONING IN THE PATTIES!! Not even salt? If they had just seasoned the patties like they seasoned their fries, my experience would be completely different. An easy 5 stars. But nope. A solid 2, only because of everything other than the patties. We came at around 8pm on a Saturday night and were the only customers, so maybe that should've been a sign. Also the lot felt kinda sketchy in the dark. Idk if I would have wanted to be there alone at night. Food was also ready in 10 minutes, like the guy told us. FRIES: Thick cut, well-seasoned, good. Looked like a steak seasoning on the fries. I liked it, but since they were thick, the center of the fries were bland, unfortunately. Maybe it would've been less noticeable if we ate them right away. Large serving though. My bf and I only got one combo and couldn't finish the fries with each of our burgers. The burgers are big, at 4 inches wide. THOUSAND ISLAND BURGER: I liked it at first because of the thousand island, but for the bites that didn't have it, I noticed that the patty didn't taste seasoned...like at all. I was shocked at how bland it was without the dressing. MUSHROOM BURGER: The mushrooms had no flavor, probably weren't seasoned at all. The burger, overall, was also very bland. Unseasoned patty here too. The ingredients felt fresh, but it was missing the flavor we were expecting. Really disappointing. They gave ketchup packets in the bag, but we didn't remember they were in there before finishing our burgers. It probably would've really helped, but the burgers shouldn't have needed it to be good.

    This review is solely about the Anytime Eats at LeRoy and Lewis, as we did not wait in the long…read moreline for BBQ! Our main goal was to try the famous L&L burger plus a few smaller items on the side so PRO TIP: if you're not getting any of their BBQ offerings, you can skip the line and order off of their Anytime Eats menu at the counter. Once we placed our order, we found a table and our food was ready relatively quickly. This process was super seamless and a great alternative if you don't want to wait in the line! The L&L burger was delicious -- the patty was thick and juicy with a great smoky flavor, and I loved the addition of the grilled onions, melty cheese, etc. We also had their barbacado taco and hog fat cornbread (with bacon maple butter), and both were tasty though the cornbread was quite heavy for me. One last comment: parking can be a pain in the butt, so we ended up parking on one of the side streets and walking a few minutes to the restaurant!

    The thing with BBQ in Austin is that YOU HAVE TO WAIT!!!…read more A tip I would suggest is arriving 1.5 to 2 hours before they open so you can be the first to get in and get all the best meats or you come 2 hours after they open to take whatever is left. Another tip for L&L is you can order drinks or certain foods (appetizers or burger) while you wait in the line!! I arrived about 15 mins before opening and waiting 2 hours to get food.I got the brisket, chicken and cucumber salad, chips and their L&L Brisket Burger and it was great! Their burger is the best burger I've had in America so far!!!
