My fiancé introduced me to Arlo's and ever since I can't get enough of them. Best burger I've ever had in my life. Also they are generous with their tors and fries and that's always a plus for me. read more

From being skeptical to pleasantly surprised. I'm craving the veggie bacon burger. The cheddar cheese was perfectly infused with the patty. Wow! I'm vegetarian and live in California have tried many many veggie burgers and this one is delicious. When I come back to Austin will have to make a trip to this place. Another plus is that it is next door to this bar that plays live music, so you get to vibe to good music while you eat. read more

This place is the bomb. The food is always outstanding, and can please even the most critical omnivores. I always order the bacon cheeseburger, I love the flavor and texture, it tastes like a legit burger without the whole animal cruelty bit. I dream of this thing. I've also tried the tots, fries, and sweet potato fries-all are excellent. I had to write a review after my visit yesterday, because the service was extra outstanding. I had a little incident that involved my tots meeting the ground, and they were really nice about it and got me another order right away. Overall: naked cartwheel delicious and great service. Go. read more

AMAZING!!!!!!!! I'm vegan and gluten free and I can't tell how long it's been since I've had a real burger. Most gluten free buns are hard or just super dense and not yummy. I got the bacon cheese burger and left off the bacon and added a gluten free bun. This was so good that words don't do it justice! Like a Big Mac but better.... I hugged the guy inside the truck who made this awesomeness for me because it was that good. Serious food orgasm in my mouth. Is that TMI? Don't believe me? Then you MUST try this awesomeness!! read more

I was excited to eat at a new food truck in Austin. The food was pretty good I got a bacon cheese burger and a side of tots. The tots were fried VERY hard and too oily and also when I got to the bottom there was TWO strands of hair in my basket. My sisters also got some and had the same problem... HAIR! Overall it was a decent experience but the hair in my food just was a real unpleasant surprise. read more

This is a cool spot in Austin. I am not a vegan/vegetarian but i decided to give it a shot. I was expecting something close to a boca burger but this is not like that. The burgers didn't have a meaty texture and I assume they aren't suppose to. Overall i enjoyed the taste of the burger and the fries are awesome. I added the vegan bacon to my burger which personally i didn't care for but again I'm not vegan/vegetarian. They added all the fixings of a burger and everything was really fresh. I deducted 1 star as my kids were a little freaked out by some chick doing hand stands and weird yoga moves right in the area where customers were eating. Other than that nice spot read more

Arlo's is a vegan favorite in Austin! It's delicious but I don't think it's mind-blowing. A must-have? Absolutely but beware overthinking how great junk food can be. It's great! But great junk food. And while Austin is known for the whole food truck scene, I just can't fall in love with an environment where I pay sit-down prices from a truck. Still great, definitely recommend. read more

Arlo's is just fantastic. I love basically everything I have ever had here. The food is well thought out and well made, though it is definitely not fast. For a food truck, especially a burger food truck I would say that they are pretty slow actually... Their burgers are all excellent as well as the tacos. The one thing I did not like was the Chic'n sandwich, though I have plenty of friends that do like it. Most recently I tried their Chili Mac, which was excellent! I usually don't like vegan cheese, but whatever Arlo's uses throughout their line up is excellent. I really wish that they would find ways to speed up their service. Even when they are not busy it takes a while. The good thing is that everything definitely feels fresh, but when it takes a while to get their delicious tots or their fresh fried chips with some solid salsa it can get a little annoying. read more

Overall: Get your ass to this food truck STAT! Vegan or not! Food: Arlos cheeseburger is hands down the best burger I have had. That is meat/non-meat burgers best burger. I don't know what they do to it but damn it is good. Even if you are not into vegan food you really need to try this place out. The patty was amazing. The flavor was perfect and the texture was on point! No soggy fall apart patty like you may find with others. Cheeseburger came with usual toppings. The fries were average and nothing special. Experience: Located in front of cheer up charlies next to Mohawks. Picnic tables available to enjoy food. Parked on the street which was not difficult. read more

All VEGAN food truck - their menu doesn't exactly spell that out but I am all about it. It sits in a cool spot called Cheer Up Charlie's in the Red River Cultural District by 6th St with other food options and a bar with live music. The burger was good and my bf loved the tacos. The bun and tortillas were grilled to have a crispiness, yum!! We came here twice during our weekend in Austin. We felt it was inexpensive as well. read more

Arlo's Junior - Arlo's Vegan Food Truck - Burgers Near Me - Austin, Texas

OmNosh (not how I usually speak; but damn it, it was good). I had zero idea it was a plant based/vegan eatery...fine print notes it, but I was just reading the menu titles. I'm glad my friend pointed it out to me because I went from not hungry to more than enthusiastic to eat in a heartbeat. Excellent food; only problem is they don't have one in San Diego read more

Healthy? No. Would I eat there daily or even weekly? I doubt it. But if you want to reminisce about In-and-Out runs when you were in your 20s, Arlo's is the food truck. The bacon cheeseburger is great. The aroma you luxuriate in when you bring a bag with two of them back to your car on a cold wet night is intense. As you eat the burger you see that Arlo's gets all the little details right such as grilling the bun, just like they do at In-and-Out! And the buns are really good, the grilling just takes them to the next level. Know that a meal at Arlo's is very filling. You'll be good for the night. Probably would have been a better decision to split the bacon cheeseburger with my wife but neither of us wanted to feel like we didn't get enough of the Arlo's experience. I should get a wheatgrass juice shot now to cancel out the health effects! read more

Still amazing...still the best burger...hands down...I've ever had!! I am getting into customization these days. I had the bbq burger, with bacon and get this...MACARONI AND CHEESE on top! Soooooo so so good. Husband had the double bacon cheese burger...still a behemoth. Arlo's quality hasn't diminished one iota. Hopefully a brick and mortar or N. Austin location is in the works. The Domain needs an Arlo's truck!! Come on Guys!! read more

Arlo's Junior - Double bacon cheez burger...a monster! - Burgers Near Me - Austin, Texas

I asked Errol if he wanted to try Arlo's with me today. Sure. See you there. I arrived, and Errol had ordered everything, but the trailer. The two smallest yelpers, and enough food to feed a starving vegan horse. We took photos, got some forks, and got to work. First, was the Bac'n Cheeze Burger. There is a comedy bit with Louis CK, that has him eating ice cream, all slothy, on his couch. He takes a bite, and because it's SO good, he yells out, "Babies with AIDS!" Not PC at all, but it went through my head when I tried the Bac'n Cheeze Burger. I almost yelled out, "Babies with AIDS," but thought Errol might be scared after that. The bacon was thick, and crispy, and bacony and seitany, and vegany. The burger patty seemed to maybe be lentils and grains, but I could be wrong. Top it with melty Daiya cheese, and it was so good, I just wanted to start doing karate kicks around the trailer. Next, was the Chipotle Burger. Same patty, but with chipotle mayo and "slaw." The burger had a great kick to it with some jalapeños, and it was our second favorite, right under the Bac'n Cheeze Burger. Then, was the Tomato Basil Dog. This was some kind of hot dog thing, but didn't have that weird "pig asshole" taste, and it was much more exciting and flavorful. The hot dog bun was a little dry, but it was all covered in sauce and stuff, so it made up for it. Chili and cornbread was next. Two bean chili and some TVP. It was good, like "Wendy's Chili" good, but I wanted more "oomph" to it. Chili, even fakey vegan chili, should be stupid spicy. Cornbread was sweet and fluffy. I'm not a fan of cornbread, because my mom did not allow corn in our house when I was growing up. She has a fear of corn. Moving on. Chik'n Tacos. Chik'n strips, Pico de gallo, Guacamole, lettuce, and chipotle dressing. The seitan chicken was good, and had a great texture. The corn tortillas were soft, and the chipotle dressing was great. Then there was the guacamole. It didn't taste fresh, although it was green. It seemed like the pre packed, preservative filled stuff. So, skip that. As we were leaving, I said that Arlo's Bac'n Cheeze Burger is now at the top of my ever-running-best-vegan-burger-in-Austin. Sorry, Bartlett's, you've been knocked to #2. The guy in the trailer, that I am really hoping is Arlo, is one of those guys you see on TV that can bench press a girl. That is not pertinent to the review, but I think you should be aware of his giant muscles. read more

OMG - it was not until after I completely scarfed my bacon cheese burger and Fritos Pie that I was told this place is full metal jacket vegan. The food here is excellent tasting and filling. The burger was very juicy and vegan bacon and cheese was most excellent. I can't wait to come back. read more

Arlo's Junior - I'm gone do this after lunch. - Burgers Near Me - Austin, Texas

Damn you vegans! Damn you for creating a vegan Bacon Cheeseburger that has ME...a proud hardcore carnivore, craving a return trip... That house made patty...I can only assume that they lace it with crystal meth. Past that ingredient, I have no idea what's in it, but I don't care. The texture is substantial and the flavors are well balanced. The Satan 'bacon' is meaty and smoky. I ain't sayin' it's a porcine replacement, but it's pretty damn delicious. Throw those on a soft bun with vegan cheese, vegan mayo, and fresh veggies and you end up with a delicious mess...the way a bacon cheeseburger should be...regardless of its flesh content. So...I reiterate...damn you vegans! Damn you indeed... read more

Disclaimer: I am not vegan, not even a vegetarian. I eat (and like) a little too much meat, sadly. I ended up at Arlo's this past week, prior to a concert at Mohawk. It was close by and we were already late, so it was our only option. It did not disappoint! My burger was very tasty, gooey w/faux cheese (which surprisingly was delish), and definitely the best veggie burger I've ever wolfed down. The veggies piled on top (pickles, lettuce, tomato) were all super fresh and crisp. The tots were the real star of the show --just perfect! I wasn't the biggest fan of the "chicken" tacos, so I just gave them to my husb. as I inhaled my burger. He liked them, so it was a win/win. Even if you're a hardcore carnivore and you find yourself here, at the very least, give it a try. read more

Normally I just run with the underbosses but this one evening I happened to be out with the YelpFather, Errol M, who passively suggested I try Arlo's in the unassuming "Leave the Gun, Take the Cannoli" kind of way. When the Foodie Don tells you it's the best bacon cheeseburger you'll ever try, vegan or not... You eat it. And you eat it now. Now I'm not gonna lie that no doubt anything that fine man, the owner, with the "Body By Brisket", makes from is his trailer is probably heaven in a paper dish. Like the buff Midas of food trailers. Setting all lust factors aside, that damn vegan bacon cheeseburger rocked my socks off! And I'm not saying that just so I don't get whacked. Highly impressed with my first vegan anything ever. I might be in need of a smoldering goomah, and I'm always in need of a burger, so I'll be back to this delicious on every level trailer pronto. read more

I would buy all of the food from the smoldering beast of a man in that trailer. I would buy a bag of dry purina and eat it all if he told me to, to be honest. It's just lucky that what he's serving is actually delicious vegan food (this is coming from someone who has never, ever been impressed with or enjoyed most of the vegan fare she's tried in the past). I had like two bites of the bac'n cheezburger and I'm already craving it. If I lived close, I would patronize Arlo's on the regular, and not just to gaze at the Baberaham Lincoln working the window. I've heard the tacos are delicious as well. God, I want to make so many dirty jokes right now, but I'll rise above and just say that this trailer is defs worth a try for vegans and omnivores alike, and it's just a happy bonus that it's in back of the awesome Cheer Up Charlie's and that your food will likely be given to you by a delicious hunk of man meat (vegan man meat). (This makes up for all the reviews I have to read from guy yelpers who constantly comment on the cute hostess, waitress, bartender, etc as if it's relevant...) read more

I made sure Arlo's was our first meal when we arrived in Austin. We had driven into town from the DFW area that morning, where we had gotten breakfast, and decided to get an early-ish dinner at Arlo's. We were starving. Arlo's came through for us big time with a deliciously satisfying and completely decadent vegan meal! "Do you want to split the burger and something else?" my silly husband asked. No, I told him, I did not want to split the meal that had been recommended to us by everyone on the Austin talk boards. I wanted that bacon cheese burger all to myself. I made the right decision! Everything about it was incredibly tasty: the grilled buns, the creamy cheese, the layer of lettuce, tomato and onion, the homemade bacon and the delicious patty. We also split an order of tots which were very tasty, and seemed to have some additional seasoning that I really enjoyed. We wolfed everything down in our car, parked right by the trailer because it was quite cold outside. I would love to come back on a nice day and enjoy the picnic tables. The location is really adorable. read more

I was here last night, but didn't get a burger and that made me sad. And then they closed, which they are wont to do, since they often run out of food. It's that good. I was trying to convince a friend that he would not be able to tell that the burgers were vegetarian and he was like, "Oh I could tell" and I was like "No, you couldn't." Still need to arrange an Arlo's vs. Nau's bling taste test...Oh, good idea for a UYE? Anyway, that aside, this is seriously one of the best burgers ever. It doesn't even matter that it is veggie. We used to have a 50s style fountain near my house when we were kids that made the best thin, juicy burgers, Arlo's burger is like taking a bite out of my childhood. Even better than how Whataburger's in Corpus Christi were back in the 80s and 90s (not no, now all Whataburgers are slipping drastically). This trailer is great and I'm glad we have a place like this is Austin, even if someday we find out that the burgers aren't vegan, like that time in Seinfeld where they found out that non-fat yogurt totally had fat in it. read more

The hype is real. Vegan bacon cheeseburger is really as good as everyone says. Didn't try anything else (besides french fries) BUT the burger was good enough to go back! read more

Arlo's Junior - Burgers Near Me - Austin, Texas

I'll begin this by saying I really wanted to rate Arlo's highly. The atmosphere is super cute - a quiet, adorable courtyard shared by Cheer Up Charlie's. The food wasn't bad either - the bac'n cheeze burger tastes exactly like a Burger King burger, only without dead animal carcass. This could have been the making of a fabulous meal. Problem is, we had outrageously bad service - the kind of service that's bad enough to prompt me to write a Yelp review. Despite only three customers in the whole picnic area, the server was slow to greet us, working solo to fill the previous order before turning around to acknowledge us. Once he did greet us, he seemed amicable, taking our order with a smile. The trouble began with payment. After paying for the $10 ticket with card, the payment kiosk prompted us for a tip which we declined. As soon as the server saw the zero in the tip field, he became outraged. He started rattling off some passive aggressive made-up song at audible volume - "cheapskate" this and "too poor for a tip" that. He even managed a lame rendition of TLC's "No Scrubs" during the 15-minutes it took to make a single burger and tots. The entire experience was incredibly insulting and disrespectful. As someone who worked in food service for the better part of a decade, I get that tips pay the bills. This being said, there is no excuse for that juvenile lack of professionalism. Arlo's should have been a vegetarian fast food delight, but the service left a lingering terrible taste in my mouth. read more

I've never had a vegan burger before, it was different but not bad! Good hours if you're out late and want some awesome sweet potato fries as a snack! All in all it was really good (I just didn't know it was vegan when I ordered) but I'd definitely eat here again read more

Half of my family is vegetarian, several of them are vegan. I grew up eating a lot of veggie burgers and tofu dogs. Arlo's has a great vegan burger. No, I don't think it tastes like a "real" cheeseburger, but it's pretty close if that matters. What matters to me is a tasty sandwich. This is pretty tasty. I'm glad there is some great bar food out there that's cruelty-free. I love the atmosphere at Cheer Up Charlie's, and Arlo's is pretty yummy. I'm coming back with all my vegan, and vegan-curious friends! read more

Love their food here !!! The vegan cheezeburger and bacon tasted like a greasy yummy cheeseburger and the tater tots were fresh and hot read more

Arlo's Junior - Burgers Near Me - Austin, Texas

Update: sometimes these burgers give me a belly ache! This is not healthy in the least! But it tastes good going down. It exceeded my expectations and more. I had the bacun cheezeburger & tots! I'm headed back today for a repeat as soon as they open!!! Mmmmmmmm good! read more

Considering I just recently converted to being a vegetarian and visited Arlos at the insistence of my vegan girlfriend, I was pleasantly surprised rather shocked at how AMAZEBALLS the bacon cheeseburger was!! I don't know if they put crack in there burgers but we returned to Arlos probably 3 times that weekend like some jonesing crackwhores who needed their next fix. I always compare vegan bacon cheeseburgers to Arlos where ever I go and have yet to find something that's even remotely as good as Arlos. Try it. Even your meat eating friends will love it! read more

"Arlo's is amazing!" "Its the best veggie burger I've ever had." Well, I went there this one night, after a night of moderate drinking on Rainey St. Well the moderation of the night was about to continue with Arlo's burger. Moderate. Not too great. Not too shabby. Burger Patty was too dry. The coleslaw and chipotle was delicious. I will come here again, to try all the other options they have on the menu and update my opinion on these guys. I really did want to like them. I wanted to like them a lot. I love the fact that there is fully vegan/veggie trailer in Austin. But for now its just A-OK. read more

Arlos is a cool little vegan food truck in Austin Texas ! I love it a lot because I'm not vegan but when I eat here I know I could be, knowing that there are amazing flavorful options like Arlos ! The faux bacon cheeseburger is to die for & the street tacos are AMAZING! I always get a side of tater tots because why not? The staff is friendly and they normally get the food out pretty fast. Definitely a must-try if you are in the area. They have multiple locations though! read more

OH MY GOD! I LOVE YOU! From the bottom of my vegan heart... thank you for existing, Arlo's. The vegan bacon cheeseburger is the best in town, hands down. I tell everyone visiting Austin to go try it! I tried the chicken sandwich, but I wasn't as impressed with it as I wanted to be (although my boyfriend said it was really good!). I love the location- it's practically downtown, but easier to access since it's east of 35. I hope Arlo's expands their hours in the future, because I'd love to get a bacon cheeseburger on a week night! read more

There is no reason to eat a veggie burger anywhere else in Austin - Arlo's is the place. If you're thinking about going somewhere else, just stop. My boyfriend (who is an avid meat-eater) now believes that vegan food can be tasty and filling. I love you Arlo's. read more

Sometimes I think to myself, "a veggie burger is a veggie burger! How much better could this one be? Try something else!" But sometimes you're just in the mood for a veggie burger and I'm SO GLAD that I tried the "bac'n cheeze" burger here because WOW! That was not like a veggie burger I've had before. Maybe this will sound sinful to other vegans but it really reminded me of a McDonald's burger (but way better). The burger, the pickles, the condiments were all just right! And what a cool location! It's next to/connected within a little dive kind of place that has live music. I felt like I got a free show listening to a great band while eating my bac'n cheeze and fries. Lately, I avoid places that have "cliché" vegan options during my travels, but this place has definitely changed my mind. I must go forth and find more veggie burgers in the new cities I visit! Although I'm scared they won't be nearly as awesome as my Arlo's burger! read more

They really have the best vegan burger I've ever had. It sort of reminds me of Whataburger for some reason, which I used to eat with abandon growing up as a child (so that is a compliment). I don't like eating after 9 so I convince everyone that goes to Cheer Up Charlie's with me to try it and let me have a few bites. Has anyone else noticed the guns on the guy flipping burgers (I'm guessing he is the owner)? He is vegan though I never would have guessed with arms like those! Very nice eye candy coming from that trailer! ;) read more

Hands down the best food truck around here. I don't think I ever had better vegan good read more

Arlo's Junior - Mac & cheese , double bacon cheese burger - Burgers Near Me - Austin, Texas

Only in Austin! Food off a food truck located in an outdoor dance type situation (Cheer Up Charlie's). So I get a crazy awesome meal, saunter up to the bar and order some good old cheap and way-too-strong drink that Austin is famous for and listen to some hopping music and watch some mad dance moves. Have I told you how much I love Austin? Disclaimer: Generally I hate veggie burgers. No one can do it right (except perhaps myself and now..Arlo's). The worst offender is FatBurger. Arlo's Bacon Cheeze Burger is out of this world amazing. The patty is made with a bounty of goodness - i spy lentils. And the vegan cheeze whiz type situation, some tasty morsels of crispy tempeh and a perfectly toasted strong bread...yummm. Not cheap (7 bucks for street food) but so good that it's worth it! The atmosphere at Cheer Up Charlie's, the scrumptious burger and being in Austin made it all worth a 5 star experience. read more

BRING YOUR OWN DRINKS if you eat at the one connected to GRACKLE. They don't have drinks here for some reason. The only way to get a drink is if you're over 21 and you have to drink beer (spent $20 on 2 beers). Perfect other than that fact. read more

Let me start off with im not a vegetarian or a vegan but i do love me some food. I love food of all types and i love trying nee things. A friend of mine brought me here once and still come to eat here. Ive had all the different types of burgers and the sweet potatoe fries and mac and cheese all at different times of course. You can't go wrong with ANYTHING off the menu and wash it all down with a topo!! Service is always given with a smile they have excellent customer service which is rare nowadays. This is a ATX must try no matter if your vegetarian or not!!! read more

Hell yes! Vegan fat kid food! Yummy naughty junk vegan food! I tried the Bac'n Cheeze Burger & YESSSSSSSSS! I am in love! My husband got the Frito Pie Burger and its a BEAST! Supahh messy but holy shit, good as well! For sides we had the Mac 'n Cheeze with toppings & Chili Jalapeño Fries! We asked for cheeze on those as well but for some reason didn't get it... either way, still YUM as fuhhh. The fries remind me of what I remember McDonald's fries being like! Never have had similiar fries like that before! Can't wait to come back!! read more

Arlo's Junior - VEGAN FAT KID FOOD - Burgers Near Me - Austin, Texas

I was extremely disappointed with the food and the service. Chips and salsa are literally grocery store bought. Potatoes fries were half fried...uncooked. Tomatoes used in the taco were stale/bad. Upon informing ... the cook actually argued back saying it was good. We hadn't even asked for a refund ... Just wanted them to know that some of the ingredients they were serving had gone bad. Even the faux meat and flavors weren't that great. I know this is one of the few negative reviews...but had to be shared. All in all a bad experience...never returning back. read more
