Great burgers

By 329john123 |

Good atmosphere, nice place close to some good live music venues. They have a really good selection of burgers; Not the best I've had but very close. Good selection of fries and beers also.

Best burger

By Liz s |

This was a cool place. I got the bacon cheeseburger. It was one of the best burgers I’ve ever had from a restaurant. It was fresh and juicy. Hands down I am glad we stumbled across this place. Totally recommend it!

Best hambúrguer

By lumartinez2016 |

Amazing hambúrguer with goat cheese and pesto. Lovely place and great service. Also marguerita and Coronas are great.

AWESOME BURGERS!

By Renee H |

Hands down the best burgers in Austin! Great selection of different types of burgers and they were cooked to perfection!

Amazing food and great adult drinks

By mandyboone |

We actually stopped here around 11:30 because we were shopping on Congress and the kids got hungry. We were hoping to find a place with not a long wait because we had to be somewhere by 1:45. We were concerned that it might be very difficult to find a place in Austin on a Sunday without a long wait. The hostess was able to find us a table right away. After we sat down I notices that the line to order became very long, but things still seemed to be pretty efficient. The burgers were so good. The truffle fries were also very tasty. I noticed that on their menu you could add alcohol to any of their milkshakes. This was very appealing to me after shopping on Congress all morning with 3 children. It was a great experience, but I do recommend that you try to get in there before noon if you are going for lunch, because as we discovered the restaurant wait times in Austin can be brutal.

Yum Yum Yum

Most fun and best Burgers in town

By 645audreyw |

Hopdoddy's is a yes for any incoming guest to Austin. It's original concept with exceptional ingredients make it a "fun" place to visit and enjoy the burgers and salads.

Most amazing burger ever

By garryclan |

Went for the wagyu beef burger and it was truly amazing everyone in group loved their burgers. The chilli fries are also a must. Never tasted anything like it.

Worth the wait!

By Kristin S |

Worth the wait! The burgers are big but delicious. Service is pretty quick too. This area is so cute. Enjoy a delicious burger and truffle fries then head next door for some live music.

Great burgers and wonderful concept

By SRao2015 |

This Austin chain surely has hit the mark with great tasting burgers and fries. They do a great job of the variety, special and consistency in the quality of food. Friendly atmosphere and fun place to visit.

Best burgers

By CRGATX67 |

The best burger place. So juicy, fresh and full of flavor! My mouth waters just thinking about it! I love that there's a bar in here, too!

Decent for gluten free

By Kimberley |

Visited this place during a day trip down south congress. It was a Friday evening around 6pm and was pretty busy. The queuing system is a bit weird. As a coeliac I had read the reviews about gluten free. I ordered a gluten free burger with a lettuce wrap (they do have gf buns if you wanted). The server made an allergy note to the kitchen. My partner and I also shared some fries, once again, an allergy note was made so I presume they are cooked separate. The server did ask for ID for a cider, which considering I am almost 40 I thought was a bit ridiculous, he refused to let me have it given my ID was at home which was a bit pants on a Friday night! The burger was decent but the fries were way too salty.

Delicious fries but not the burger

By mere1426 |

Ordered my burger well done and it was pink....but the fries were yummy! But won't be back cause burger was below average!

By Nar Kali |

Great and healthy burger. I don’t remeber what I had but it was so juicy and had avocado. The size was good too and not very greasy

Yummy

By GregLynn M |

Definitely worth it. We had the Bandita burger and it was so delicious. The truffle fries were a great side to enjoy. The buns were so so good. The frozen margarita's was great to just finish off the meal. Can't wait to go back.

Awesome

By M B |

The bestest. Last night 2 smash burgers please ::) we really need Hopdoddy in Sioux Falls SDAK thanks to you and the sweet staff

Great Burger Bar

By anotherBeth |

We happened upon Hopdoddy's for lunch while shopping SoCo. We had a great meal, delicious burgers, fries, and drinks! The staff are very friendly and attentive and the food is fresh and delicious. They grind their own meats, cut their own fries, and churn their own ice cream. I had a wonderful cookies and cream milkshake with Khalua and the fries with truffle oil and parmesan were great. Nice selection of handcrafted burgers of all varieties. Definitely would return if ever in Austin again!

Every thing I've heard and even better!

By Mark T |

Great burger! Moist and juicy, very flavorful. Had the Pablano burger loaded and was very pleased. Great fries both traditional and sweet potato style. Atmosphere is quirky and fits in well in Austin. Don't let the line discourage you. Go with friends and have a few beers!

As someone who only eats one

By Larry |

As someone who only eats one burger a year I was rewarded with an exceptional burger, the Llano Poblano. The quality is excellent. The service by Tyler and Manager Jaime was awesome. The sweet potato fries were delicious. Craft beers and the frozen Margarita only took one. Did I mention free parking??

Great food!

By Kate M |

We tried this on the recommendation of friends who live in Austin. We were not disappointed. I was leery at first since it looked crowded, but they have a great system in place to keep people moving. We ordered our food and were given a table. Burgers were awesome, and the fries were even better. Perfect lunch spot. My kids wanted to go back a second time.

Yummy

By Annemarie S |

Yummy food my favorite queso fries also the burgers are to die for then topped off with the strawberry milkshake

Great burgers and shakes

By edm1887 |

It's easy to see why there is a line outside here most of the time. The best burgers in Austin? Maybe they are. All cooked to order as were the fries. Nice friendly staff and the banana shake was amazing!

Worth the wait Burger Joint

By ChrisATX23 |

Excellent only begins to describe this place - great location, fantastic cocktails, people-watching galore, and the burgers!! They are perfectly cooked, fries are on point and there are veggie-vegan options as well (the Terlingua is my fave with chili and Fritos) - go during the day (2-5) to avoid the worst of the lines but go as soon as you can!! (Great boozy shakes, too!

Great place to eat!

By 965deborahv |

Atmosphere is great (Better than it looks from the outside). Alcohol available. I had a burger with grilled onions and chipotle aioli. Yum! I wanted to try sweet potatoe fries with the chipotle aioli but opted for a kale salad. I thought I’d be “settling “ to get less calories. It was delicious. Cabbage, kale, peanuts, chili flakes and a peanut Thai dressing. YUMMO! Service was attentive!

OK burger terrible service

By Fred M |

I sat at the bar and placed my order. The bar tender was this young guy that was more interested in talking with a friend than servicing customers. He gave me a plastic cup and told me to get my own soda instead of using his soda gun at the bar. He had one of those pensil eraser hair doos. I censed that he didnt like white Americans

Burgers!

By Rob R |

Second time that I’ve eaten here and never disappointed. There can be a wait but well worth it. Sweet potato fries!!

The best burgers

By Zack Rudolph Patterson |

Excellent food and customer service, a friend recommended the place and it's fantastic, the best hamburgers I've ever had!! I highly recommend them!

Best vegan burger

By danTA100 |

Highly recommend this fun place that takes fast food to another level . The vegan burger was excellent . Meat eaters really enjoyed their burgers too. Cocktails were generous and very reasonable - very long "happy hour " . Noisy crowd , always busy - we went twice .

Not good

By BJ K |

So I stopped here for lunch today. Looked good. Ordered my food and got a table. Just ordered bacon burger, fries and a shake. Shake was okay. Straw was a little wide to use. They didn’t mix the chocolate in that well. The burger and fries took a while to show up, and it wasn’t that busy. Fries were cold and soggy. Burger was supposed to be medium but was completely raw in the middle. Ate half and left most of it. When they removed the plate no one asked how it was. I even cut open the burger to expose the raw meat. Not sure if it’s still legal to serve meat raw in a restaurant any more. No need to ever visit again.

Yummy!

By Wagnerska |

Fantastic burgers and fries. Great and fast service! We were looking for a place to eat on a whim and it didn't disappoint. Plenty of parking, too.

Fine, but probably not worth the hype

By Jim K |

Having queued outside for 30-40 mins and inside for a bit longer before placing an order and being assigned a table, we were by this point very hungry. Thankfully our fries arrived to munch on but no burgers to be seen for about 20 mins. The kind waiter offered us a free milkshake so, having spotted that they all contained some incredibly sweet ingredients, I asked for a banana shake without the salted caramel or whipped cream (thinking that would reduce the sweetness). I was wrong as it turns out it also has brown butter, which we Brits call butterscotch, which made it so horribly sweet and taste nothing at all like banana and it also had a thick layer of whipped cream on, so even then, not what was ordered (I know, it was free, so I probably shouldn't complain, but as a result it mostly went to waste which is a shame). Eventually the burgers came and they were generous in size, well constructed and looked appetizing, but honestly, they were a bit too greasy and so not as enjoyable as they could have been. We left feeling full but unhealthily fatty and a little as though we'd wasted part of the evening waiting for them. Don't get me wrong, they weren't bad burgers and others seemed to be enjoying them greatly, but crucially I don't think any of our group of 3 would choose to go back.

Monthly visit

By Donna D |

We love the hamburgers here. My husband flies into Austin once a month returning from Alaska and we head here first thing. Great staff and juicy burgers.

Long weekend in Austin

By Michael D |

Visited Hopdoddy in the Soco area. The line was long however well managed by a well trained staff. They move you along, provide menus, take your order and allow you to order from the bar before you sit! The burgers are delicious and we recommend the truffle fries!

Pricey food, but worth the wait

By rboykins71 |

I came by during SXSW week. There was a small wait, but they are very efficient. I ordered the Chicken Sandwich and fries. They kept the place clean. With two registers, the lines moved pretty quickly. The price is high. The food came out hot. There was plenty of food to fill you up. The process of this place is very functional. They validate parking in the nearby garage for 1 hour if street parking is not available.

Shoulder Shrug

By Chris Satterfield |

I’m from Los Angeles, where we have lots of gimmicky burger spots like this one. I was expecting much better taste from the order lines I’ve seen. I actually went to one located more near San Antonio. I dig the interior design. However, not anything new and fresh. Customer service is pedestrian. I do like the exploration of gourmet names, but perhaps they don’t live up to their names. I got the double bacon type burger. I tasted very little bacon. Uh, that burger should have been over flowing with bacon. But it wasn’t. Meat tasted is bland. No charbroil grill taste. Also the meat was medium well, which is ok, however I wish they would give options for how one would like their meat prepared. Fries were ok. A bit dry. Sauces definitely help. I would give this place another few tries if I ever come across one. Lots of menu options. I filled out a guest service card. They had no place to drop the card and no pens or pencils. So I had to give it to the cashier. Kinda awkward.

Great experience!

By Sean Harvey |

We came across this great restaurant while on holiday in Austin. We liked it so much we went back the next day! My wife said it was the best burger she’s ever had (she had the tuna one). The fries are excellent especially the Parmesan ones!

Good family burgers

By TX_Travelling_Scotsman |

We come here often. Great burgers and they have an unprinted kid burger that will save you some cash. My kids are gluten free (coeliac) and they can do kid burgers and fries without problems. It's also noisy enough that they can chat happily. A few storeels nearby if you need to walk off the burgers. A good board game/card game shop and an awesome toy store.

Cheeseburger and a bowl of Brussel Sprouts

By DavidJamesConnolly |

Was shaking off a cold, need a morale boost. Cheeseburgers are the cleanest path to high five-ing high performance after a spell, this place was ranked Numero Uno. Rolled in, the staff were fluent in Australian, grabbed a burger and bowl of Brussel sprouts. Wonderful

Right on Congress, Good burgers

By RollTideRollAZ |

Located right on Congress, good burgers, good beer, good fries. Sat outside. They had validation for parking. Inside bar.

Menu changed burgers not as good.

By Papadshaw |

The first time I visited I said it was the best burger I’d ever had. I went back, however to the cedar park restaurant and was disappointed. The menu had changed and the burgers were away smaller. The burger was ok but that was it.

SUPERB!!!!

By Abhishek Subramany |

I tried the vegetarian options at this place. The strawberry milkshake is amazing too. The staff is courteous and take good care of you.

Long line totally worth it! Incredible food!

By worldly12016 |

For years we have seen the looong waiting line when we drive by. This year, my daughter wanted to go to celebrate her birthday and eat there. The food was so amazing that made the wait totally worth it. We ordered the Llano Poblano hamburger, the Diablo and the truffle Parmesan fries as well as the buffalo fries. My personal favorite is the Llano poblano. We were almost done with our food and still hungry so our waiter put another order in for additional food and to our surprise, we were barely finished with the first order when we got our second batch. Amazing service! It was great! We will go there again! Loved it!

Wonderful!

By julie a |

Great lunch. Sat at the bar. The bartender Tyler was awesome, knowledgeable and kind. Only downside was that the french fries are cooked in beef tallow. Not great for vegetarians.

Wow

By Andrea |

I discovered this restaurant during a tour of Texas and it was a truly great discovery, everything was really excellent. Compliments

Love the Truffle Fries with Parmesan!

By robinbX811YQ |

I have eaten here twice and I absolutely love it! The truffle fries with parmesan cheese are delicious. The burger with a fried egg, delicious!

Good hamburgers

By Mary Alice M |

Good hamburgers but a very loud environment. Lots of kids. But my husband, who is a hamburger gourmet, enjoyed his hamburger. We split a small fries order and it was plenty for the 2 of us.

Burger debacle

By CJ Fabian |

My wife and I went for a bike ride. We decided to get a burger at our favorite burger joint in Austin. We both ordered the classic burger, doctored up of course. We both get our burgers and mine is missing the extra cheese I ordered. No big deal. Our server Aaron goes and grabs it lightening fast. I take a bite and it is severely over cooked (I ordered it medium rare). I would have eaten it if was even close to that but it was cooked well done. So I send it back. They expedited it, so it only took ten minutes to get the second one. Meanwhile my wife is halfway done with hers. The second burger gets delivered and again it missing the extra cheese. No big deal Aaron grabs it in a flash. I take a bite of it and guess what, we’ll done! I asked Aaron for a manager reassuring him he has been a great server. The manager asks me if a want to fix it but I’m not interested. She comes back and says she took it off the bill (I hadn’t eaten a burger, so of course I’m not paying for it). I asked her if she was going compensate me for the inconvenience and she snatched the receipt out of my hand and said,” FINE!” She came back and gave me more attitude, slapping the receipt on the table and walking away. Not sure I’ll be going back to the Congress location ever again. But Aaron the server was cool!

Top Austin Burger!!

By Pamela L |

Fun at one of our favorite family eatery! The burgers are to die for and the fries are amazing! Always consistently great!

Yum

By Samantha G |

Soo good!!! Parm. Truffle fries are AMAZING. Get the appetizer version and save$$$. Got the Lemon 76 drink and my friend got the grapefruit spritz.YASSS!!! We are visiting Austin and when we leave I will dream of this place

Pretty good burger

By bcvoges |

My husband and I enjoyed date night here. Pretty good burger. Not sure I would stand in line again for it though. Fries were yummy and drinks were good.

Love this place

By Cindy R |

Just upscale enough you feel good about inviting friends or coworkers to join you. They very nicely handle the lunch crowd by shared seating and assembly line ordering. Love their burgers and salads.

When you want a good burger...

By jillbackeast |

When you want a good burger, this is the place to go! Beat my expectations. Friendly service. Good beer/great beer! Great burger. Definitely recommend.

MY FAVORITE BURGER PLACE!

By MissEm81 |

I don't even know where to start with this place. I mean, there's got to be a reason why the line is wrapped around the building almost every time I go right? Yes. Their burgers are amazing. My go-to is the tuna burger, rare, and it is amazing. And do not forget to try their Salted Caramel Shake which beats all other shakes in this entire universe.

The Fries are Fantastic

By Rodrigo V |

There's a couple of different sort of fries that are splendid, the Blue Cheese Burger is pretty good and the atmosphere of the place is quite nice as well.

Cool place!

By Linda L |

Delicious food, great atmosphere, friendly staff and great service! Especially since they just opened 2 weeks ago.

TRUFFLE FRIES TOO!!!!!

By BASSY |

Great place for all kind of desires. Very nice vibe in the restaurant and good luck because sometimes hard to get into. Our truffle fries were the best I have had. All kinds of burgers to choose from and toppings so give it a try.

Good food good service

By H.M_13 |

We went in after a long walk in heat. They had cold water in front of the entrance! Heaven! Burgers were tasty and delicious and service was excellent.

Definitely worth it!

By Eric N M |

This place did not disappoint! We we’re all craving a juicy Grilled burger with fresh veggies & fries. They even offered sweet potato fries and the happy hour drinks were super delicious!

Best hamburgers

By Kcancan |

Hopdoddy has, in my opinion, the best hamburger ever. It is what I use to measure other burgers against.

Good but...

By recmouse |

It's nice that they sell you drinks while you're waiting on line as we waited 40 minutes. Kind of mayhem for a bit once you get inside. We didn't like that the fries came WAY before the burgers. They should come together. The fries were cold by the time the burgers got to us. Waiter blew by a few times so not really attentive. Burger was good though!

Great Food. Great Drinks. Great Atmosphere. Great Service

By Mark A |

My family and I love going to Hopdoddy. The food is very fresh. The burgers and fries are delicious. The "fixins" are very fresh. The drinks are excellent. The service is exceptional!

Best Burger in Town so far

By Catalina Mojica |

Make sure you visit this place if you'll love burgers. Hopdoddy always has the best options in town for everyone. There is always a line so you better go early!

Hamburgers

By RWG2020 |

Hopdoddy has some of the best hamburgers in Austin. The lamb burger and mushroom burger are standouts! The fries are excellent. The only thing that is a drawback is the line is always too long.

Great Burgers! Great Service!

By Pibe76 |

We arrived at an excellent time, the service was great and the burgers were perfeclty cooked!! We were two couples having dinner, everything was amazing! The location of the restaurant is unbeatable and it has parking behind, they validate your ticket which is a great perk! The fireman´s #4 beer is a must!

Great burgers, service and atmosphere!

By Tim M |

Hopdoddy is the place to go to get great burgers and sit outside and listen to music and people watch. The service was superb. I got the El Diablo and it was great. Super Margaritas. Highly recommend!

Burgers, fries, shakes, oh my!

By rachelle1625 |

Everything we've eaten here was just fantastic. I recommend grabbing yourself a burger, sharing a specialty bowl of fries (parmesan truffle fries are amazing) with your friend or date, and saving room for a shake. When I first came here, the shakes didn't even phase me, but my friend ordered one, and it was one of the best shakes I've ever had. I got a Smoreo shake (mixture of the smores + oreos). Do it. Just go. And eat eat eat until you have to roll yourself out the door. Oh and if it's you're first time here, walk inside and head toward the back of the restaurant. You'll have to stand in line, order your food, and they'll assign a table to you. So don't worry about scouting for an open table beforehand.

Good Food

By Stephanie264 |

Their vegetarian burger is great! The queso fries were also delicious! This is one of my favorites and hen in Austin!

Just what we needed!

By Megan M |

We unexpectedly spent the night in Austin, TX when strong storms diverted our flight to Dallas. After a 2.5 hour flight and being stuck on the tarmac for 4 hours, we were starving. We had our food delivered to our hotel so I can't comment on the atmosphere, but our food was great! Probably one of the best burgers I've had. We had the classic burger, the goodnight/good cause burger, and the green chile queso fries.

Great burgers and more

By Greg6987 |

An Austin must try!! These burgers were amazing. Options for everyone. My favorite was the green Chile and queso fries. Also great happy hour!

Late lunch

By Ellen B |

We really enjoyed our burgers and beer. Nice selection of both. We had the Classic burger & Magic Shroom. Hope a franchise makes it to the Gulf coast of Florida!

Yummy!

By Bo M |

Amazing Parmesan truffle fries. Hot, tasty and generous portions. One order is more than enough for four servings. The burgers are so great and you get them made exactly like you want. Park in the garage behind but don’t pay on the app. There’s a kiosk at the register that gives you 75 minutes free.

BURGERS

By Cindy T |

We stumbled on this place while out walking the streets of Austin. Very organized establishment. Was very busy as it was lunch time. Staff took our drink order while we were in line. Enjoyed the root beer malt shake - yum. The had the mushroom burger which was incredible. If you like burgers, fries and shakes make this a definitely on your Austin list.

Not your regular burger joint!

By Anders W |

Positive surprise! Absolutely fantastic tuna burger that let all ingredients come through. Nice craft beer. Wonderful staff and cool music. Excellent!

Great Food!

By Meka2012 |

We enjoyed the food and they had great customer service. I definitely plan to visit again when I'm in town.

Best in town

By Beantowneater |

The service was good. We got seat led right away after we ordered. We got the El Diablo, Cadillac Wagyu, and truffle fries. The fries were crispy and Flavorful. The burgers were so juicy and tender. The quality of the ingredients are amazing. The best burger in town

March 2022 visit

By harv2u |

Good burgers and the fires come in a bowl. Great atmosphere and the balue was good for Austin. Good service. Worth a stop.

What a burger! 👏🏼👍🏼

By Ryan Lim |

You’ve not tried burgers until you’ve had a taste of the Hopdoddy’s classic Angus burger! Puts Shake Shack to shame... The meat tasted like a cross between minced meat and steak. Still juicy and not too dry. The buns have a sweet slight buttery taste the tickles my palates. You can always add an egg and avocado to the burger (though it’s not obvious on the menu). Makes the overall taste more complete. Anyways, it was by accident that I discovered this place while visiting Austin for the first time in my life. My shared rider on Lyft was a student studying in a university nearby. I always trust students’ recommendations on food as they go for value for money about food. Glad I was right!

Brilliant. Top quality at modest prices.

By Martin J N |

Inexpensive, atmospheric even on. Thursday afternoon, excellent Margaritas and sensationally good burgers and fries. Highly recommended.

Good Atmosphere

By Jeremy M |

Food was good, the service was excellent. The price of the food was a little more than I expected, but still worth it. I would revisit again.

Delicious! I ate the whole thing

By Laurie A |

Ate here with co-workers and a client. I would definitely go back. I ordered a make your own (classic) burger medium rare and added sauteed mushrooms and onions. Yum! Wish there was a location near me.

...chaotic and messy...

By Mike O |

in spite of the long lines, and the trendy, noisy and brash interiors the burgers are amasingly good. altho "good" is an understatement. they are definetly top 10 material, fries as well. give the truffled fries a miss. save that for a fine Italian restaurant. I'm sure there is a method to their madness, but then again this is a university town. so 'noisy and chaotic' are de rigueur for this type establishment. I'll add that is somehow quite clean ! I will definitely pay another visit at another time. I'm not one for waiting in line for 30 mins to place an order for a burger.

Bad Manager

By Linda G |

The place took three times to get fries "crispy." I could do a better job with an air fryer. For 8 bucks, you would think they could make fries "extra crispy" as ordered on the first try. And the fries come to your table before the burger. Can't they serve them at the same time? No one wants to eat piecemeal. The manager "Regina," who goes by "Gina," made matters worse by being rude and sarcastic. After she said she would "take care of my meal," she rudely grabbed my tray that still had half a burger on it. She argued with me and had this smirk on her face, like she thought all this was funny. Horrible. Won't go back there!

Good Burger, Great Fries

By SHFT54 |

The best compliment I can give is that I'm supremely jealous I don't have one in Miami. The line still forms even during covid times, and yes it moves fast. The truffle fries are probably worth the trip alone, and I'm not a huge fan of truffle fries. Hopdoddy's fries are skinny, hot and fries to absolute crispy perfection. We opted to include a side of green Chile queso, a decision we DID NOT regret. The bacon jam burger was very good, especially enjoyed the mustard grilled onions. A burger that is superior to shake shack coupled with a full bar makes me wonder how shake shack is able to stay in business in the burger rich city of Austin. Service was fast and friendly. If I'm ever back in Austin, fingers crossed, I will be back.

Best angus burger!

By Mayada N |

This place is awesome, Javier the bartender was great and the truffle fries were so good. Highly recommend!

Great lunch

By 1GiantsMSo |

Walked a mile to get here and worth it. The decor is casual and inviting. The hostess was friendly and reserved us a table. The smell of the fresh baked buns is amazing. We ordered three burgers and a side of fries. All were terrific. The seating was again casual but perfect for us. The television was a nice touch. It has a full bar and milkshakes. The shake on the table next to us looked incredible.

The Impossible

By JuanArcila |

I don’t know how to start this review... maybe the better way is this: Awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome! U really need to try the new Impossible burger. Is mind blowing.

spf

By Roberto |

Great hamburgers, great service and exceptional sweet potatoe fries. I always went for the truffle fries but now i’m def going for the sweet always.

Great burgers and decent prices.

By Mo A |

The food was great. Good sized portions, I recommend the El Diablo burger if you enjoy something on the spicy side. Great atmosphere and friendly staff.

Didn't know you could do a burger and beer yet another way but they do!!!

By noodlehouser |

Great casual experience with fun vibe. Lots of craft beers. Good burgers with non-meat and seafood or plant options. Did I mention the beer choice? Be prepared for a wait and noise...but it is Austin!

Yummy food!

By JLN373 |

We both loved our burgers! The sweet potato fries are killer and my husband really enjoyed his chocolate shake. Would have gone back the next day but we came across this on our last day there.

The veggie burger was delicious!

By AmeliaJones1994 |

It was melt in your mouth. I couldn't tell that it was a veggie burger! My boyfriend and I shared it. The restaurant is very cute and very packed too!

Hoppin'!

By Manarola3 |

This is a topnotch casual burger place with locally sourced ingredients. On a large blackboard, they even list the ranch or farm where the beef and produce come from -- makes you feel like you're doing something good for the environment while treating yourself. They have several unusual desserts too, but I'm always too full. Last time I was there, I vowed to return and just get dessert. The line can be long, so try to go for early or late lunch or late dinner..

Oh yummm

By Amanda K |

After standing in line for 10 mintues to order, someone walks up to us and tells us we can sit in the booth at the bar and the bar would wait on us. We sat, and waited... and waited. Other than bad service, the food made the experience much better! The impossible burger was amazing! I wasnt a fan of the green chili fries but my sister loved them! I had fun trying the different sauces. Chipotle ketchup was yummy and so was their honey mustard... skip the caffeined bbq- taste like coffee grinds.

Great hamburgers

By shields1954 |

The hamburgers here are fantastic. The bread alone is worth going for. Fries were fabulous. But the shakes ??? Oh my. So good. Loud. Fun. Gets crowded so go early.

Great burgers

By dutchietraveler |

The place to go for burgers . Great selection very tasty. Staff friendly. Be prepared for quite a wait. This place is populair.

Fresh!

By CHutch |

Fresh meat, veggies, & fries! Great service, friendly staff! Fun to watch the rolls rising and the meat grinding!

Follow your own process!

By Terry S |

Went with my family of 5, my sister, niece and cousin and her son who were visiting from Chicago. While the visitors loved their burgers and amazingly tasty and fresh sweet potato and truffle Parmesan fries, the server didn’t follow the Hopdoddy procedure of calling out the names attached to each burger. Therefore my son who has sever food allergies almost had a “mishop” doddy! This is still our favorite burger joint but the staff are probably a little overwhelmed.

Glad we went early!

By Ken L |

Went early for dinner because we had read about the lines. Even at 5pm the line was almost out the door. The good news is that it moves pretty fast. From that point it took about 15 minutes to place our order and get a table assigned. Don't be tempted to have someone in your party attempt tp "hold" an outside table while others get in line to order as these tables are being assigned to people, just as the inside tables. We had squatters at our table who politely moved as they didn't realize they were sitting in assigned seating. The food is decent but not exceptional. Burgers were cooked more than how we ordered. Fries were edible but had been out of the oil for some time. Food came out faster than we thought once ordered. Staff were friendly. Staff taking orders were helpful with choices for those of us newbies. Based on reviews we expected better but, when we're back in Austin we'll go again and hope for a little better.

Maybe, not the best burger in town but if you plan on the total experience, it could be a great adventure!

Hopdoddy seems more of an experience; an event in itself, if you can get through the long lines just to get a great burger then find yourself wanting more of the experience but compelled to leave because you've overstayed your welcome having only sat for the 10 minutes it took to eat! My advice, DON'T GO HUNGRY: gather a group of your most laid-back friends/family that expect to wait in line, enjoying some drinks & casual conversation. Decided on your meal ASAP to be able to place your order, when asked, while in line. Enjoy the atmosphere while your anticipation & appetite grows with a couple of glasses of wine then think about adding some "shareables" to your order, you will not be disappointed while soaking in the sights & sounds of SoCo!

Best burger in US?

By Nuno A |

Hopdoddy is a regular in the best burgers in US lists. Even though I really don’t believe it is, you will be sure to have a excellent burger and truffled chips made to perfection. A must go!

Great atmosphere, food and beer

By Peter In Lewes |

Looked at several nearby but so glad I chose this one. Friendly welcome from staff behind bar, good choice of burgers and fries and fast service compared to some places I have tried. Juicy burger, cooked to perfection with very tasty fries. Good choice of beers but watch out for the heavy glasses used to keep it cool. Two hands needed! I can see why this piece rates so highly amongst the eateries in Austin. It well deserves the ranking.

Unimpressed.

By Lisa |

Don’t asks for extras on the burgers, the cash register loves it, totally ripped off with an order of 2 burgers and one lot of fries. My burger was raw, sent back, replaced with an edible but not so enjoyable meal. If you’re starving, go there, otherwise I wouldn’t rate this place. Staff were friendly.

What a Burger!!

By digdeep0169 |

Oh man!! Back by popular demand the "Buffalo Bill" was off the hook!? What does that mean?? First off: it was delicious! Shockingly there wasn't a long line considering downtown Austin... The truffle fries were a delight. Drinks were served in frothy glasses. A+ will return. Damn... Can't help think of the blu cheese aftertaste! :)

Evening Dinner

By AggieSpider |

Excellent burgers! Great variety of French fries. Nice drinks. Causal dinning. Nice milkshakes! Does have Gluten Free hamburger buns if desired or required!

Now That’s a Burger!

By Shazam4806 |

This is a MUST when in Austin! You may think it's just another hamburger joint but it's a heavenly step above all others. When you enter and see a long line to order you might want to bolt but don't! The line moves quickly and worth the wait. You can grab a drink at the bar while in line to help pass the time. Once at the order counter you can see where they grind their own meat and bake the buns. There's a wide array of condiments to choose from but this burger doesn't need any help in the flavor department. My mushroom burger with added avocado was one of the best burgers in memory. It literally melted in my mouth and ever last bite was full of flavor. Not to mention the awesome fries with truffle aioli. Just be warned that one order of fries is more than enough to serve 2 hungry people. Because we were there the weekend of the Austin City Limits Music festival this place was packed with the line out the door and up the street. I figured we were on our own for service once our meal arrived. Instead, I was most impressed with our excellent server who answered all questions, brought more truffle aioli for our fries and even thought to bring a different aioli to taste. Now that's service! You can bet that we will make a beeline here next time in Austin!

Tasty food

By Susan E |

Local beers. Fresh nicely prepared food. Don’t count your calories! Wait outside, but can get a beer.

Awesome margarita

By Troy A |

Bar tender and staff are really nice. They validate the parking garage ticket. Margarita was nice and strong too! Chill atmosphere!

Great food but long wait most of the time

By Deannzal |

Burgers are amazing truffle fries the best as well!! They have a awesome margarita with corona!! Be careful there awesome and strong!! Make sure you are not in a hurry mist nights there is a long wait to get in.

Superb Burger!

By Dozmond |

Did some research and found Hopdoddy's. Went with two burger buddies, one who was rating burgers up in Seattle with a work crew. This did not disappoint. Interesting ordering and seating process, kind of a mix between of a counter order and a sit-down situation. Had a poblano burger. Great size, bun, texture and well seasoned patty. Fries were done right. Great place to try. The only other note was both my friends were overwhelmed by their shakes, but they finished them!

Awesome burgers, delicious fries

By Christian Moser |

One of the best burger I ever had, I must say the burger was outstanding, the meet juicy tender, a dream. You have to try the Truffle fries, a specialty I had for first time. They were so deliciously good. The service was very friendly and entertaining while we had to wait for quite a bit but it was worth it. The body was super full of calories but it did not feel like it which speaks for the good quality. So if you are looking for for a good burger place then go for hopdoddy!

Good food

By Thomas W |

We had a very good hamburger and fries. We did the take out and everything was ready as promised. Good variety of toppings.

Third visit, still an amazing experience

By BigBMcC |

Just back from our second feed in Hopdoddy this holiday and I can now say without any bias that this place is amazing, best burgers, best cocktails and amazing staff, everyone excelled but I have to give a big thank you to Lance and Emma, you guys are amazing. If you haven't been, you haven't lived...

Great menu even if you are gluten free.

By shellywanderlust |

It's always hard for me to find a burger place that offer's gluten free buns. Hopdoddy doesn't disappoint. Their gluten free bun is delicious! They also have stellar sweet potato fries!

The Best By Far forget the rest

By Noshfordosh |

This is probably the best burger I've ever had, succulent and juicy and the taste is a cut above any fast food burger you've had, even the seasoned fries are great, it's a mucky burger, sinful and indulgent but I will definitely return again for another one. It also has great bar area with a big selection of real ale type beer but unfortunately I was driving so couldn't sample any.

Best burgers!

By Molly R |

Great burgers and sides! Well worth the wait. Busy but very organized. Would go back again and again!

OMG! <3

By Shruti S |

So delicious. So yum. So tasty. Cant stop eating the fries and the burgers and the shakes. Cant stop talking about how delicious it is.

Delish!

By kp2600 |

Had an absolutely delicious late lunch. We both had the classic burgers which were cooked perfectly and in the top 5 we’ve had. At least the top 5. The truffle fries were to die for and large enough to share. I had a boozy shake - Oreo cookie with kahlua that was outstanding. The put actual cookies in their shakes and they too are delicious There was a long line but it moved pretty fast - they offer cucumber water while you’re in queue which was much appreciated! Service was fantastic. Would definitely eat here again.

Awesome gluten-free rolls and options.

By Mr_T_2323 |

Great gluten-free burger bun. The burger was cooked well and they lightly butter and toast the gluten-free bun. Turn around time from order until you get the food is quick. How you order is odd, as you walk past the tables, order, and then get assigned a seat. They need more instructions on this point. I was not impressed with the small amount of sweet potato fries given with a side order. There were perhaps 15 fries total at a cost of about $4.50. Make sure you validation goes thru and works! Mine did not and now I am battling with the parking garage to be refunded my $13.06 for 1 hour parking, which is insane.

Confusing

By Kurt |

So we went here because of the great reviews but we found the place chaotic and confusing. They forgot my brother-in-law's burger and really had no good apology.

Hot honey and sage fries

By Chris Beeler |

These fries were absolutely amazing. I plan on going back again before leaving town. This a great environment for all. The staff was very friendlyand accommodating.

Brought visiting family

By Solutions123 |

Everyone has to try a Hopdoddy burger at least once! Surprisingly there is ample parking for a location in the city. There are tons of things to do around the area. They are known to locals for their burgers. Try any burger in the menu. You will not be disappointed.

queso fries!

By jst |

Usually a long wait, sometimes around the corner. But really great burgers, even greater queso fries! js

GREEN CHILE QUESO

By JEG |

We did the mushroom burger but the green chili queso is the star of the show. Just get two or three orders of the fries and queso and you will be happy! Great environment and a friendly staff

Yum

By Mary L |

Burgers were excellent. Worth the wait in line which wasn't very long anyhow. Recommend as a must lunch stop in Austin.

Great Selection of burgers

By Nanci D |

I don't eat beef, so it's great when I can get a great turkey or chicken burger. The flavor of the chicken burger was great.

Amazing Nutella pretzel milkshake

By jaimelovebug |

Very delicious and filling. Perfect size and not too rich. Would recommend and will return to try with booze next time.

The best truffle fries ever!

By Amy B |

Shopping, walking, hungry? Stop here and get the truffle fries ! The come in a bucket size bowl! Add a vodka birthday shake and u can just keep shopping on congress afterward. The burger was great to. The line was out the door but did not take long. I understand this is a chain but the fries are off the chain !!

Super Yum

By Helen C |

Always a great quality burger and the fries are on point. Now that they have been around the line isn't as crazy except for the peak times of lunch and exploration of South Congress. Highly recommend.

Best burger I’ve ever had!

By Laura and Josh |

This place is amazing! Line can be long, but they have a great system and it is so well organised that it goes fast. I had the prime star burger - grass fed Kobe beef - and I can honestly say it was the best burger I have ever had. Also beers are a generous pour. My husband had a bacon cheeseburger and it was cooked to perfection. Also great sweet potato fries - nice and crunchy. We would absolutely come back here. Highly recommend.

Burgers were great!

By Karla S |

So many types of burgers to choose from and very comfortable atmosphere. Staff was friendly. Worth a visit.

WhoooHooo Hopdaddy!

By Patricia S |

Outstanding!!! Maybe the best burger, Ever! Not to mention the fries😉 The place, people, set up, service....unique all the way around. But, the staff were really great, way above expected.

Delicious!

By Raquel S |

The atmosphere is really nice but the food is worth the visit. Tried the Nutella shake and the honey fries, both indulgences worthwhile. I had the bison burger and it was delicious. Can't wait to go back!

A must in Austin

By Juan Carlos |

Amazing Flavor. I order the classic and truffle fries. The truffle sauce is to die for. I put some of that sauce on my burger. Congrats!

Amazing one-of-a-kind Burger Bar

By Tdkeyser |

This is a very hip, comfortable burger bar. I’ve never experienced a meal like this. It is busy - but we were lucky enough to get two seats at the bar. Their specialty it burgers and fries - and drinks. Shakes with alcohol or other adult beverages. It was a very fun atmosphere and the food was amazing. Worth the trip and the wait! The bartenders were very attentive and knew their menu & products - made excellent suggestions.

Great burger

By Julesgolfs |

Great burger but not a lot of fries to share. I liked the refill station for the soda. atmosphere seemed good although employees were more interested in socializing, then waiting on customers.

Awesome food and cheap!

By Monica |

Great food for a great price! That's all I can really say. Im supposed to type more for this to send but a family of 4 with 4 burgers 4 drinks and shareable Parmesan trouffle fries(so yummy) was only 50 bucks! These burgers are not like the rest, the home made buns are amazing and my son was like literally scraping the seasoning of our sharable french frie bowl!

Hopdoddy Burger Bar - Austin

By Michael E |

One the very best and most creative Burgers anywhere... The Truffle Fries and great Craft Beer selection add to the entire experience.

Great Burgers Fun Options

By BN L |

We had 6 for a quick lunch with coworkers. Everyone loved their burgers, they came out as ordered and around the same time, bread and all ingredients fresh. Will go back!

Excellent food!

By mmari2018 |

I've been to Austin a couple times and have to eat at Hopdoddys each trip! The food here is delicious! Can't wait for the next trip there.

Great hamburgers

By Alexa S |

I love this place . The food is delicious. This is a great location. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

One of the best burgers in town

By Dina D |

This is, hands down, our favorite burger joint in Austin... so long as we can sneak in during off-peak hours! As much as we love the burgers, we're not willing to stand in line for an hour outside the building. One of the best things about HD is the service. My family loves a juicy burger cooked medium. A few times, we've gotten burgers with an over-cooked patty. Disappointing, but all you have to do is catch your server's eye & you'll have the burger of your dream ASAP. And no visit is complete without a bowl of parmesan truffle fries! I also love that they offer sodas with real sugar instead of HFCS.

Good Burgers, Upbeat Setting

By TravelerPaul_12 |

If you want a high quality burger and a drink, this is definitely the place to go. Variety of burger options, including beef, but also turkey, chicken, and tuna. Line forms outside, can take a while at peak times, but worth the wait. Easy access on the route 1 bus from downtown.

So nice we came here twice

By Charlotte H |

It says something about a place when you are only in Austin for 3 days and you go there twice. Myself and my boyfriend are both veggie and at the moment the UK does not have the 'impossible burger'. The one at this place is great, it bleeds very realistically and tastes awesome. The accompanying sauces are great (I particularly liked the truffle aioli) and the sweet potato fries were delicious. It was super busy both times we went but we got a table pretty quickly.

Fun location on S. Congress

By BushkaTexas |

In Austin on a business trip, it was great this was in walking distance from our downtown hotel. Nice hamburgers and fun fries. Good atmosphere. Can eat outside too. Very hip and fun area it's located in with many shops, bars, and restaurants.

Food heaven!

By Hartley |

This food is so amazing it has now put me off all other burgers 😂 great atmosphere on a friday especially with sun shining! Thank you!

Fun and delicious!

By Capt. Mike |

Quick easy ordering for a variety of foods. They are all delicious. Staff members are patient and friendly and helpful. Food can out quickly and hot. Well seasoned. Great atmosphere to eat in. The staff continued to check in on our happiness. Beer selection was great. Fries and Brussels are a must! I recommend the. Delicious burgers made in some very tasty ways!

Classic!

By Leeshults |

I love the classic burger with a fried egg on top (sunny side up). If you want it a little rare they have no problem cooking to order. Delicious! My only complaint is that they only serve Taproot drinks which I don't care for.

Great burger

By Carol P |

Stopped here when visiting Austin, the Happy hour margarita was so good I had 2, not too sweet. The mushroom burger ( I subbed Brie) was very good. The bun was fresh and toasted just right. The truffle fries with Parmigiana was worth the splurge on calories!

I would marry Mr Hopdoddy

By Christi P |

Hopdoddy whispers sweet nothings into my ear. I love this place. I would marry the classic hamburger, their BBQ sauce and their margaritas. I guess that makes me a polygamist...but hey I would do it for Doddy.

I EXPECTED MORE ... FOR SUCH A EXPENSIVE BURGER...

By 111familyman111 |

Paid $13.50 for a Prime Time Burger, American Grass Fed Kobe Beef, Brie, Arugula, Caramelized Onions, Truffle Aioli, HD1 Steak Sauce, Tomato (See pic) While this sounded great. However, all I tasted was the steak sauce, aioli and brie cheese which smothered any flavor of the susposid "KOBE BEEF" lot of different masking flavors did not gel together at all. I want to taste the burger not the overpowering sauces. After one bite i striped down the burger to just the plane hamburger patty and that is exactly what it tasted like a plane hamburger.. So it was $13.50 for underwhelming ground beef. Stick to the basics on the menu. plane burgers . I thought I was in store for something special instead I was very disappointed. True waste of monies

Best Burgers

By mbrk |

Some of the best burgers in Austin ..... all locations ...... burgers and all of the sides they offer are great

Great burger

By CauldLad |

We were warned the queues would be round the block and they were. Is it worth the wait. Yes absolutely. Good food, good beer, great atmosphere alongside nice hardworking knowledgeable staff.

Great food!!!

By Laura N |

This place offers excellent, yummy food! One of the best burgers! The staff were very friendly and accommodating!

Best burger! (and I'm not a burger lover!)

By V3155DQgregoryh |

The Classic Burger is hands down the best burger I've ever had! I'm not the biggest red meat eater, but my daughter told me not to order the black bean (La Bandita). She was right. Cooked perfectly with great flavor. Don't forget the fries to go along with whatever burger you choose.

Great burgers

By Kristoffi |

We visited as we wanted something quick and easy on our last night in Austin. We enjoyed a chicken burger bowl and the tuna burger. Both were amazing! I love love loved that tuna burger! The cocktails are strong and great tasting. I found the service hit and miss - one chap was a bit dismissive with us when we arrived (we didn't understand the queue system) but the woman on the checkout was really friendly and helpful and the young girl who ended up serving us was lovely. The burgers are absolutely delicious. It is a little expensive- but its Austin! Perfect for a casual and scrumptious easy meal.

Great service great food!

By Diane P |

This spot exceeded expectations! First the service was fantastic. We sat at the bar and really enjoyed it. The burger was delicious - add the tomato bacon jam to your classic burger! We had the regular fries and there’s a good beer selection!

Great burgers

By timht |

If you are from the UK you haven’t experienced a burger like these. Simple well cooked patties and light fresh baked buns, all served with a smile. Join the cue soak up the atmosphere and enjoy it.

Yummy

By JunctionGirl |

Had the shroom burger and it was super delish!! The pesto, goat cheese and mushrooms were great together! Also had the queso, green Chile fries, YUMMY!

Great Burgers and Fries!

By Sharon E |

This was our first stop when arriving in Austin for vacation. Service was fast, delicious and staff was friendly and helpful. I want to go back for the brussel sprouts!

Rose J

By Rose J |

Stopped in Hopdoddy with friends for supper. Delicious burgers for them n chicken for me plus fries. Everything was prepared as requested. Great buns for the burgers n fries were crispy. Would visit again.

Great food and vibe

By JKPImageFusion |

Burgers are excellent- lots of gourmet options. Great fries and sides also. It’s got a great vibe with a large bar in the middle as well.

The Burger to Compare Burgers

By Liberty Travel Coach |

We have been to Hopdoddy numerous times and after our first visit, we fell in love with their burgers. Their burgers have come to be the standard by which we judge all other burgers. The question always is, "Is it better than Hopdoddy's?" The buns are fresh brioche buns (other options available) baked in-house, the meat is also fresh ground daily, making the patty juicy and tasty. The parmesan truffle fries are to die for. Make sure and have a 512 Pecan Porter too, as the beer complements the burgers divinely. I will add the location in Round Rock has an issue with the flooring. It feels greasy when you walk on it and something needs to be done to change that. I still have to give an excellent rating because the burgers are that good. I've tried a few of their burgers and the Primetime is my favourite. The patty is Kobe beef so it is an expensive burger, but oh so worth it! It truly is that much better than a regular beef patty.

Best burger

By mikemevissen1979 |

Best burger you can find in town, always consistent quality equal service and good atmosphere. Drinks are also good

They brought back the tuna burger!!!

By farleiii |

I was so happy to get an email that the tuna burger was back that I went solo to go enjoy one. Go get one!

Great find!! Definitely a must!

By Topdwn |

Excellent food, excellent service and great vibe! Exceeded expectations!!!! The burgers were cooked to perfection, ingredients were fresh and was just simply a gem.
