Lebowski's Grill

We've been to Lebowski's Grill a couple times, and we have to say that we really love this place in addition to Highland Lanes as a whole, especially given the heartbreaking tragedy of Dart Bowl shuttering several years ago.First thing to know: the queso is awesome here. Like, really good. We also love the fries and tots that come out hot and crisp--just not so in love with the ketchup packets since a dispenser would be way easier. The burgers are excellent. Last week, our kiddo had the cheeseburger and the we shared the inferno. They are generous with toppings! While you can tell that these are not fresh meat patties, we still think that they taste good and they were cooked well. We loved the spiciness level of the inferno. We've also had their taco salad, which is more like hamburger meat crumbled up, but it's served with a ton of greens and some decent toppings, and the fact that a salad exists at all at this place is pretty sweet. What else to know? Folks are friendly. You can barely hear/understand your name when they call it out over the mic, so be vigilant. No beers on draft. We've also sometimes come here when there have been no lanes available because of bowling leagues that basically take over the whole place. But we really like Highland Lanes and were happy to hear that it's going to be living another day at least for the near future. Four nostalgic and grateful stars.

We made our 3rd trip here when we heard it got a lease extension to give the Frito Burger another try. As Shana points out the idea of a Frito Pie Burger is unique and had to be included in Finding Frito.We returned here as our first 2nd try since again it will possibly be closing soon and the previous time we went some other stuff happened to put a damper on the day. This time the bar area was closed, which was a bummer. Your ordered your beers from the front desk. That is weird but they did have Not your Fathers Root Beer which was good. We got the Frito Pie Burgers and fries and had to sit out in the main area.It was very busy, I was glad to see the bowling alley getting a ton of business. The grill was not busy at the time we went. So now to the differences from previous visit:They were faster this time, last time it took so long we thought we missed them calling our name. This one was much faster.But the burger wasn't as good. It was dryer and had less of everything, made it easier to eat for sure but just not as good. The fries were still good but some were getting cold fast.Overall this second visit kind of matches the first, they were better in some ways and a let down in others. Still overall worth the time.

This no frills grill is located inside Highland Lanes and serves up a thick and juicy chicken sandwich. The friendly staff makes this even more of a gem!

Soo good! Love this place! Husband and I stop by when wanting a delicious burger! Very tasty!

In light of recent news about Highland Lanes moving locations, I have to say that aside from the classic game of bowling what I'm going to miss most is the damn near perfection of Lewbowsi's Grill burgers. I don't think anyone knows what a true diner burger is until they've had one. I was immediately brought back to my childhood having a burger with my great grandfather and great grandmother and it was insane the sense of nostalgia it brought me.Lewbowski's Grill has won multiple awards and accolades including highlights from Yelp, so that alone should be enough to get you to jump in your car and get here while you can. The fries are cooked to perfection, the burgers are made to order, and you can hear the sizzle from your bowling lane if your lucky enough. No over the top antica, no frills or crazy recipes, just some damn juicy and flavorful burgers.My friend and I were in awe as we each took our respective first bites and we ate in utter silence as an homage to what the kitchen served. If burgers were zero calorie I'm pretty sure i'd be here at least once a week if it were up to me lol.Damn now I'm craving a Lebowski's Grill cheeseburger and might have to sacrifice the diet later this week...

I hope y'all find a new place to open when Highland lanes close. Y'all have great food.

If you're looking for a damn good burger... Lebowski's Grill is not to be overlooked!! Came here for lunch and we're really impressed with the food presentation and all the flavors that went with it!Most can people can relate that food at a bowling alley good, greasy, delicious, aka Naughty Food!! And Lebowski's is all that and then some!! It's located inside of Highland Lanes bowling alley, which is cool because even though you're just there to eat lunch on your lunch break other people are enjoying their day by bowling at 11:00 a.m. in the daytime. It's cool because it's a feeling of nostalgia from our childhood, all the smells of a bowling alley, amf the clacking of pins and people chattering in the background. Aside from the food, it's an entire experience!

Lebowski's Grill at Highland Lanes has the best burgers I've had in Austin! I first tried them at a food festival downtown and have been wanting to go to Highland Lanes bowling for the burgers! Even if you don't want to bowl, go when there's league play so you can watch some impressive bowlers. But, back to the food, you order at the counter and food is ready quickly. We ordered the infusion with bacon and patty melt, the two most popular burgers. Sooo good, the flavors are excellent. I wanted more out of the tots and fries because they were kind of bland but I'm not letting them deter from the burger! Go try one right now!!

Bowling, beer, and burgers. Please tell me, WHAT better combination is there than that!?When you think of bowling alley food, let me guess what you conclude to: grease, slop, cold food. Lebowski is the OPPOSITE and honesty some of the best burger I've had here in Austin. I would've taken a photo but I was too busy slamming strikes.My husband and I split the Poblano & The Dude for a little variety. We both finished them easily with a side of fries. There was a ton of flavor stacked in the Poblano with their chipotle lime mayo and the fries were hot and crispy. Our friends got the tots and they were equally as fresh. Love having that selection, because tots are few and far within.Do yourself a favor and try them out!! Come hungry for a delicious burger and then work it off with some bowling fun after!

Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to a burger from Lebowski's Grill inside Highland Lanes bowling alley. I had the inferno burger with bacon and it was one of the best and juiciest burgers I've had in Austin. The tots were cooked to perfection. The service was fast and friendly. You order at the counter and they call your name on the loud speaker so you can play your game while you wait. The ambiance was vintage all the way. It does actually remind you of the bowling alley from the movie The Big Lebowski, which just happens to be my favorite movie. This is just a bonus because the burgers are so good that I'd come back anyway. I think I'll try the Donny next time, which is a deep fried, bacon wrapped hot dog covered with chili and queso. Yum!
