Buddy's Burger

Great food, and Michael provided exceptional service when taking my families order. Place is very clean and would eat here again.

Tasty burgers and great service - what's not to like?! Quick trip = quick review. Burgers were all delicious. Inside was clean and nice. The staff were friendly and helpful while ordering. We'll be back!

Absolutely delicious burgers and fries - don't sleep on this place! I've seen this place featured on social media and this is definitely worth the rave reviews. When they say seasoned fries, these fries are SEASONED (in the absolute best way). Flavor packed and fried to perfection - these were finished quickly. Get these, trust me. We also ordered the Buddy's spicy with cheese and the double classic with cheese. I was highly tempted to order the limited time texan patty melt but I wanted to try the double given this was our first try of Buddy's. The Buddy's spicy was actually spicy (my husband is from Louisiana so he knows spicy food) and so that pleasantly surprised us - I'm normally let down by promises of spicy when it comes to restaurants. So keep this in mind if you want to go the Buddy's spicy route. And I loved my double classic with cheese! Both burgers were juicy, packed with flavor, and everything fresh. The wait in the drive thru line was atrocious, it took about 30 min waiting to finally get our order. Dining in also looked very packed with every table taken and a lengthy line. But it was around the dinner rush (6:30pm) so that's understandable. Perhaps aim to get here earlier than you usually would to avoid the wait.

In La comparison to Austin, this is something I'd compare to the habit. It's better because the fries, sauce and milk shake taste better. More rich & the seasoning is to good.This is a win, win + affordably priced

You should definitely smash and not pass on Buddy's smash burgers! This is my second time ordering. The first time was through the drive thru. The quality of the burger is the same. I ordered the sauce but did not need it. ! The burger bun is very soft and is the perfect size for the patty. The burger toppings are not super thick and they do well on this burger. The pattie was allowed to be the star of the burger. The pattie was seasoned sooo well. This is what sets Buddy's apart in my opinion. A well seasoned pattie isn't easy to come by! This is a TRUE smash burger because it is simple to eat, truly smashed pattie, and the toppings are not so easy to be detected while eating. The house fries were good, I didn't need ketchup. This is a top burger spot in Austin!

Buddy's has been on my list for a long while. It's a ways away from me, and a friend of mine works really close by. So when I have met her for lunch she never wanted to go to Buddy's, just didn't seem interested in it but said they were popular and busy, so I never pushed it. She preferred champagne and strawberries along with some Beluga caviar I guess. But sometimes I get in the mood for a really good burger, and they do have some pretty good reviews. Fast forward a few months later and another friend of mine was in a burger mood and she was raving about Buddy's, saying she's had it before and wants to go back. Not to mention they have gotten some positive press recently about being one of the top burger joints in Austin. Well I have to say they did not disappoint. Stopped in on a Saturday night and it wasn't too busy. The cashier guy (wish I knew his name) was really nice and helpful. He knew it was my first time, I ordered a Spicy Burger Combo for her (to go) and for me - well - I wasn't sure. He told me the usual Double Cheeseburger with special sauce is popular, so why the hell not - I got that and he recommended the lemonade. I wasn't quite sold but he gave me some samples - wow! Mango and Strawberry - he said I should mix them - and sounds awesome to me cuz their lemonade rocks! And free refills too! If I am really hungry (and I was) I sometimes go overboard. Well that Texan Melt (a new burger for limited time) looked so good and he proceeds to tell me that it's awesome. So okay why the hell now - I'll order that too. It's got peppers and onions in it and it's massive too! I got her food to go but I couldn't wait to try my burgers to give them immediate feedback. I took a couple of bites of the Double Cheeseburger and it was damn good. It lived up to the hype. I was really pleased with the seasoning, and loved that sauce. Got some extra spicy sauce on the side - awesome!! I love their seasoned fries!! So glad I got them - excellent, very crispy and fresh. But the winner-winner-burger-dinner was the Texan Melt - holy schnikes! Took a few bites of that and - WOW - It was bursting with flavor and probably the best Patty Melt I have had since I can remember. It's their version, and it had plenty of grilled onions and peppers in it which had this superb flavor to it. I was really happy with it.VIctor wa the manager on duty and I went up to compliment their food and drink and the experience and service, he was very pleased to hear that. Everything here was great. The burger, the seasoned fries, the spicy sauce, the mango and strawberry lemonades, and that Texan Melt - oh Mama Mia - one of the best Patty Melts I have ever had. I highly recommend.

First review of the year goes to Buddy's Burger. I kept hearing about Buddy's and don't know how I'd gone this long without trying it. The fries were crunchy and delicious (I went with the house fries, no need to go with seasoned) and ordered the spicy with cheese. Excellent burger. I had to get an Oreo shake, of course. I will be back!

Yum! Came in around 1ish on a Friday. Very busy but plenty of inside seating. Paid around $33 for Texan melt combo and Spicy cheeseburger combo. The Mexican vanilla shake is PHENOMENAL it's the best shake I have EVER had. The burgers were flavorful and the seasoning on the fries was great.There is a drive thru option as well.

After hearing all the hype I had to see what Buddy's was about. On recent work trip in ATX, I was able to stop in during the lunch rush, however wait til wasn't bad.I went with the double smashburger and fries, though I was unimpressed. Flavor wise it was decently seasoned, however for a smashburger it wasn't giving the juiciness I expected. Size wise, they're fairly average. Highlight of the meal though were the seasoning used on the fries. Those babies was hitting!Overall, Buddy's was okay. I'd say if you're a burger connoisseur don't expect the extraordinary.!

This is definitely one of my favorite spots to get my burger fix. Coming here always gives me that cheesy juicy burger rush of endorphins. They still have the right formula and it's quite obvious if you come around lunchtime and trying to find a place to park. Once inside the noise level can be fairly high due to all the patrons. They've got a few new things going on that I did not see before such as a self ordering kiosk. I noticed that for a limited time they are offering the Franklin burger featuring Franklin barbecue sauce. It's possible they be running these burger specials from time to time. For the most part, everything in my previous review still remains the same, including the fact they do not offer onion rings.
