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

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

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 much is delivery?

No idea.

What is the Current Price for the Kids menu before tax?

What are the Fountain Drinks do they offer? and what Craft Sodas do they offer? Just curious

Coke products and Maine root root beer and ginger beer

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… 

Do they play Broncos games on TV?

I do know that if you called about a particular game they would be happy to let you know! The customer service here is as outstanding as the food!

As one of the tribe, I couldn't not check this out. Especially with a burger called the "yenta"…read morethat has a latke in the burger. 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). I cannot recommend Jewboy burgers enough. Staff was friendly, service and ambiance were great with plenty of places to sit inside and out. Parking is somewhat limited but worth braving to get a little peace of Old Testament heaven in your belly.

The hype couldn't be further from accurate! Ordered the standard Jewboy Burger as it comes, onion…read morerings, fries and a fountain soda. 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!

This burger spot is essentially just a food truck, but the food is solid, and the service is great…read more The food truck itself is nice and clean, and there's a big signage out front. 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!!

When I chose to eat here, I checked the reviews and there were way more positive reviews than…read morenegative, so I thought the odds were in my favor. 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.
