Appetizer sampler
Kelly M.

Came here through a recommendation and left two happy customers. Started with the sampler. The fried pickles were good! The pickle slices are thicker than normal so you can actually taste them. The fried cheese was apart amazing. The cheeseburger egg rolls were okay. Queso was tasty and the Shishito peppers were better than expected and a surprising favorite. Next we both ordered the I can't decide. My choice was the Hawaiian and the perfect burger. I devoured the perfect burger. I would go back for this. The Hawaiian burger was okay. The description was spot on but it was underwhelming compared to the perfect burger. Hubby ordered the I can't decide and split between ring of fire and prime steakhouse. He added aioli to the steakhouse and very much enjoyed it. The ring of fire, is exactly that. It's spicy. He went through a few rounds of ice water. We split the basket of onion rings and fries. It came with 4 giant onion rings and fries. Rings were good, fries were blah. We topped with the homemade custard - because why not. Service was great, environment is relaxed. Restaurant is split between bar and the sit down family side with a private room in between. Solid place and it hit the spot when craving burgers.

One of the best little places to eat in Austin, Texas. An excellent variety of different delicious hamburgers, great fries, and onion rings, and plenty of other tasty menu items. An exceptional selection of draft beer. Lots of good cocktails. And a great steak night on Thursdays. Another successful restaurant by the legendary Clay McPhail

Happy Hour ($15 total)

Don't miss the happy hour! I walked in on a weekday during happy hour and sat at the bar. Was immediately served a cold beer and had my order taken. Within minutes I had nachos brought out with a 5280 burger. Meat from the nachos is from the bbq joint next door (Bert's) and honestly, I don't think I could pick out a single thing I'd change about the entire experience. Atmosphere was great, service was phenomenal, food was savory and the draft and drink selection was full of everything you might want. 5280 might be mile high, but this place feels more like cloud 9. Will visit again soon!

This was my first time to eat here at 5280. The seating area is clean nice and comfy. The service was fast and great. They have TVs everywhere which was awesome for Sunday football. They have a great draft beer selection and their menu has something for everyone. The tables are high tops with comfy benches and chairs. I got the classic 5280 burger with fries and a lemonade. The food was pretty good and service was good as well. Overall I like the ambience and we will return

Cute neighborhood spot with indoor and outdoor seating. Tons of TVs playing sports games, and the bar was largely reserved today by a local Philadelphia Eagles fan club to watch the game. Seat yourself and a helpful server will come take your order. Large selection of appetizers, salads, & burgers (which can be subbed for grilled chicken breast). We tried the chips & queso, a burger and street tacos. The queso was tasty with a nice kick & the street tacos were yummy. PSA - all burgers cooked to medium so be sure to specify if you prefer a different cooking temp.

One of the best meals I've ever had. The burger melted in my mouth, the fries were perfect and the shake was unbelievable! Awesome service and just overall really cool spot to watch some football or baseball and just relax. 10/10 experience

FRIES & RINGS
Kim H.

An all Philadelphia eagles bar (go birds!). My first time here and we sat in the bar area. They do have regular dining/ kid friendly dining in the back of the restaurant. Big fan of the ahi tuna nachos. The brisket tacos were good but the meat was a little dry. Burger was delish and cooked perfectly medium and they toast the bun. Really loved the onion rings as well. I've been to the other eagles bar in town and while good they do not cater to food allergies. This place had gluten free buns for the burgers and omitted dairy. We will definitely be back!

Always a favorite dinner spot for when I don't feel like cooking. Their burgers are great and the onion rings+fries combo is a must (maybe because I'm a glutton but also because they do both sooo well). Each burger I've had here has been a hit. Can't go wrong. Finally made a stop here during their Thursday steak special and it was not bad for a place that specializes in burgers. I enjoyed my steak! This is a neighborhood spot that does food and service great that keeps me coming back.

Outdoor patio
Han C.

What a gem of a place. I know, as a vegetarian who am I to review a burger/taphouse? But oh you vegetarians do not fret as there are vegetarian options. The burgers can be substituted with either their black bean/quinoa patty or Impossible Burger. I had the impossible burger which was perfect, but I am sure their black bean burger is very good. We went on a Sunday evening and they have a nice dog friendly outdoor patio. It's also nice they provide dog bowls for water for the dogs. Even though the high was in the high 90s the patio wasn't too hot at all and they do have a big fan to cool you off if needed. The service was amazing. All 3 waitresses that came to help us checked in on us and they spoiled our dog that we brought for dinner with us. I also have never been to a restaurant with so many thoughtful touches. For example in the bathroom they have mouthwash and mints so you can have fresh breath after enjoying dinner. They also have blankets rolled up in the front if the inside is too cold. It was also nice that I believe the owner of the place went around and made rounds and asked us how our food was. You can tell they really care about their customers! Now on to the food. My husband and I were hungry, but not hungry enough to have full size burger. So we ended up doing the duo where you can each choose your own burger but it is slider size. Well the slider size is about the size of In-n-Out burger so it was perfect for us. I got the Baja burger with caramelized onions, roasted poblanos, chipotle mayo, pepperjack cheese and subbed out the burger for impossible. I really enjoyed it and it was not spicy at all. The bun was soft and buttery. My husband got the Wagyu burger and enjoyed it. We also split loaded fries with queso and pico de gallo and it was delicious - the fries were perfectly crisp even when it was smothered in queso and was the perfect size to split between the two but not too large that we had a lot left over. They have plenty of free parking as it is shared with strip mall.

My cheeseburger was good! The lobster roll was a little dry. Although burgers were good but nothing too memorable or special. I wish the truffle fries were crispier instead of soaked in oil. Excellent service. We had the sweetest and most attentive waitress. Very casual and fun spot to hang out if you want a quick bite.

How did they come up with the name 5280 Burger and Taphouse?

This small chain began in the city of Denver, and Denver is 5280 feet above sea level.

On the menu on the website they have 2 differ prices on the shakes 7.50 signature shake which i thought contained alchol and the other price is 6.00 so is there one price for the shake as it indicated that on the restaurant menu?

Just Saw the Lunch Special for 11.99 on the online ordering it looks like you can get a side salad as one of the choices but did not see the Fountain Drink on the Lunch Special on the online ordering does it still come with a drink?

What is on the $11 Lunch Special as it does not mention it on the menu?

What a special special! You get a 1:4 lb burger with homemade soup or fries and a soft drink for $11.99. If you join their VIP email group you occasionally get that deal for…

Had not been to this restaurant in a good while, and was a last minute decision. Good choice. The whipped feta is always a treat -- light and creamy with a solid feta taste, but not overpowering, served with a few orange slices and thinly sliced almonds, and pita. Special dish! Beet salad excellent, but the Fresno peppers had way too much heat, so pushed them to side. My wife had the Moroccan curry, which had a very spot on Moroccan flavor (been there 3x), and was a large, filling portion so brought home leftovers. I had the grilled pork chop which was large, perfectly grill with a tasty bourbon-based glaze, served with a large roasted garlic clove. Wonderful dish.

The standout was the Brussel sprouts...crispy with this absolutely delicious drizzle. I ordered the Mezze plate with a flavor explosion and many desirable texture. It had lamb kabobs, fresh salad (emphasis on fresh) with thinly sliced cucumbers, finely sliced onions and creamy feta (never had creamy feta), red round sweet peppers, hummus with the most delightful pesto like sauce, and olives. Oh my...what a delicious lunch! Morgan, our server, was attentive and accomodating. She moved us to another table when we notice our table was rocking a little. Great catching up with my brother and excellent meal!

He's an Austin native and recommended Bartlett's as his favorite restaurant in the city. When I walked in, every table--and even every bar seat--was full of people enjoying food, drinks and conversations. We didn't have a reservation, so we waited for a table or bar seat to open up. Fortunately, it wasn't long before a booth became available. We ordered the spinach dip, the French dip sandwich, and a half rack of ribs. The spinach dip was delicious and generously filled with spinach. It wasn't too salty, so the natural flavors of the ingredients really came through. Even the chips were crispy, light, and not at all greasy--a feat in itself. For me, the star of the show was the famous French dip sandwich. I try to stay away from carbs, but the bread complemented the meat perfectly. The au jus wasn't even necessary because the meat was so juicy and flavorful. The bread was soft yet sturdy enough to hold all that delicious meat and juice. It was a fantastic sandwich, and my mouth is watering just thinking about it. I finished the meal with a slice of cheesecake topped with lemon blueberry. It was beautifully made, not overdone, and had the perfect density. It was subtly delicious, and I can't wait to eat here again.

Then came the cinnamon roll--crispy, golden edges with that gooey center that makes you involuntarily close your eyes and do a little happy food dance. We also shared The Old Fashioned biscuit sandwich, featuring house-made sausage that was so good it made us question all other sausage. Naturally, we had to "research" the bacon too--perfectly cooked, smoky, and absolutely worth it. We sat out on the porch with my pup, Lily, who was treated like royalty (fresh bowl of water and plenty of adoring attention). She gives the bacon two paws up! The staff? Absolute gems--Mark & Marie were warm, welcoming, and genuinely happy to have us there. It felt more like breakfast at your favorite relative's house than a restaurant visit.

My daughter's biscuits and gravy, on the other hand, needed more gravy... she liked the dish but she felt her gravy was too little for the serving. Then she also ordered a half order (1) pancake with cinamon roll French toast and we took that home. It had good flavor! Overall, I enjoyed the food, the flavors were good, the prices have definitely gone up a LOT. 3 stars for good flavor as expected- but I was not "blown away"... but yes of course I would come again!
