    Amazing Burger
    Cinzia L.

    I've driven by this trailer so many times!!!!! I finally decided to stop and give it a try! The weather was nice and cool and perfect for their outdoor seating area. I ordered off their hidden menu which you can find online. You will be amazed at the food here! The quality, the taste!! Ahmaziiiingg!! Their nirvana sauce is tangy. Think level up thousand island only not pink. Also their amazing sauce goes great on burgers. We had the Amazing burger single (although I could of eaten a whole double by myself) and the Crispy Chicken with nirvana sauce was the best sandwich I've ever had! The chicken was so tender and juicy for being fried. The onion rings had a nice kick to them too. Not super spicy just mild. You just also try their chocolate chip toffee cookie!! It's super yummy!!!!!! I'll def go back!!! The staff/ owners were so friendly. They came out and asked about the food and we learned a bit about them. Very friendly and personable. They have several locations. Check 'em out!!

    Double cheese burger with grilled onions

    Best smash burgers in Austin! I usually don't like saying something is the "best". But this is the best smash burger I've had in Austin. It is everything I want in a smashed huger. The cheese is melted, it looks simple, the meat is seasoned and smashed properly, and the buns are soft!!! It didn't take long to get my food. The truck is clean and ordering was smooth! I have officially found my "burger spot". !

    Buddha Burger on Metric in North Austin
    John L.

    This is the location at Metric and Cedar Bend Dr, very convenient if you work or commute or live in that area. The service is great. Very inviting and helpful at the checkout window and even after the food came out. The meat is perfectly cooked and salted. The bun buttered nicely for that extra taste. I got the California burger so the buttered bun might only be that one but you can check. I debated on the regular or cajun fries but glad I got the cajun, the seasoning is way better than plain salted. Iced peach tea topped off a great experience. I think they rotate tea flavors and peach was the flavor of the day so I got lucky because peach tea is one of my favorites. Plenty of outside seating or grab it to go. There was a nice breeze and a small tree blocking the sun's direction so I enjoyed the outdoor meal on this day.

    Came today after a scooter ride down by the creek. Is super easy to get to from the trails. Food came out fast and fresh. I got the chicken strips onion rings and the mango tea of the day. Omg so good. The staff were super friendly and gave great rec's for the sauce. The space is in the parking lot of a gas station so it's kind of busy but it's super local and very friendly. All in all I'll be back for sure to try the burger next time.

    Double Cheeseburger
    Misty D.

    We got the basic double cheeseburger with Cajun fries. It was very very fresh and very very good. While we were waiting a Buddha Burger Enthusiast let us know that the Cali is the best option. If you don't get the Cali, she said to definitely ask them to ghee your buns. We got some kind of chocolate chip toffee cookie. OMG. I'll definitely be thinking about it later. The service was awesome, but ambiance isn't the greatest. It's in a gas station. But don't think about that. It's good. We'll be back for the Cali and the chicken sandwich ASAP! And the cookie!!!

    Chicken Bacon Ranch, Double California Classic, Poutine

    Service was very nice and came to check up us while dining and was happy to get additional stuff like napkins. The food was so good, some of the best burger and chicken sandwich I have ever had. The chicken bacon ranch was so good, the chicken was so moist and juicy and the breading on the chicken was so flavorful. Some of the best ranch with lots of flavor and paired well with the sandwich. The California classic burger was one of the best burgers I've had. The patties had a really nice crust that added a lot of flavor but was still thick with a really nice angus beef flavor. The buns had a toasted bun on the exterior which was incredible, shattered when biting into it with a really nice buttery taste. The nirvana sauce balanced the richness of the burger so well. Amazing burger. Some shaded eating area would have been nice. Overall, an incredible experience and would definitely return. Can't give this place enough praise.

    Didn't expect this place to be a food truck but to my surprise it was pretty good. The burgers were made quickly and survived the drive home. The patty had good flavor and didn't feel overly greasy. The poutine was an interesting item on the menu and the staff suggested we try it. I thought it was great. The cheese was melty and the fries weren't too soggy. The toffee cookie was a sweet and crunchy dessert. Overall definitely give this place a try if you're looking for a new burger spot.

    I was enticed to try Buddha burger as result of their natural approach to their burgers. For example, I was told they ground their beef every day. The cali, according to the server, was one of the top 3 food items. As a general principle, I usually order the most popular menu items. The Cali did not disappoint! First, the bread was buttery delicious...larger than a slice of bread but smaller than a standard bun...toasted. Then the inside drippy good - a thick, fresh piece of beef, perfectly grilled onions (sweet & soft), lettuce, cheese and a special sauce. The burger was super filling. Buddha burger on metric is a food truck. They have a free standing building in Pflugerville. There is no seating outside. Therefore, it's a grab and go food truck.

    Double cheese smash with fries no drink
    Steve W.

    I first discovered this business after attending a grand opening Yelp event for them. Some things you need to know before you arrive is the fact that the seating that they do have is outdoors and mostly not shaded. There's some covered seating directly across from the car wash, but there are no tables there. One of the drawbacks of coming here is ascending the rickety steps to place your order and to pick it up. This is definitely more of a get it to go operation unless you like sitting at a picnic table under the blazing sun. I got the double cheese and fries and they do give you a good helping of fries, but they were very stingy with just two packets of ketchup. The meat they use looks like fresh smashed beef, not previously frozen. They do a decent job in the burger business and a double smashed cheese combo will run you close to $20 (and you will face the tip screen with your credit card for that added expense). I think Buddy's burgers are of better quality and value, but they are better than In-N-Out, especially their fries. My order took less than 10 minutes to get. Informative photos/video included.

    Great food, the grill cheese inside the burger is phenomenal. Great friendly service and fast as well. Go give these guys a try, the poutine fries were so good and delicious as well!

    Food truck in north austin with burgers, fries, onion rings and shakes. A surprising addition to the menu is poutine down here in Texas. I didnt order it this time since we did a to go order but will have to try it next time. We got the Little Buddha burger with nirvana sauce. Burger was good! I wouldn't say it is anything super special but it is solid. The prices are comparable to shake shack or other burger places. If I were rank the burgers in the area though, this place would be in the middle of the pack. Mainly due to the high price for a good burger but not a great burger. Overall, We will be back to try some some other menu items but will probably go somewhere else to grab a burger

    So, so good! I always get the basic cheeseburger, and add the fried jalapeños. Gives a nice crisp to it. I haven't had any of their chicken items yet, but they've got great burgers. And I feel like the pricing is fair enough. Most of the guys that work there are very friendly. And I love the string lights they have out at their benches. Nice touch to the ambiance.

    Apparently 25% is the minimum gratuity option here. Guess they are hoping you won't notice tipping them 8 dollars for 2 burgers.

The fried chicken was cooked to perfection - flavorful, light and filling. The sauces were so good! We got medium spice level, which was pretty good but I think I'll try one level up (spicy) next time for more of a kick. If you're a spice lover I'd recommend that. I preferred the Kai Prao because of the diverse flavor profile and the addition of bell peppers for some crunch. Yum! All orders are served with a side of white rice and their house salad. A hearty, filling and affordable meal to satisfy your next Asian fried chicken craving.

They said it would be about 20 minutes for food since they were slammed, but I appreciate knowing it was made to order, so no problems there. Tried the Kaeng Panaeng and it was good overall. Huge portion size but wasn't quite what I was expecting. Salad was pretty standard but I'm glad they kept it separate so it wouldn't wilt from the heat. As for the chicken, I was hoping by itself it would be more thai inspired/marinated/seasoned but it's effectively just chopped up chicken tenders to be dunked in the curry. The curry is flavorful, albeit a bit watery, which I wish was reduced a bit. But if curry is not your thing, my friend's Kai Zabb was very good: tangy, sweet and heat all at once, so good to really switch up bites. And while I wasn't expecting sticky rice, I can't help but say it's the first time I've had thai fried chicken without it. All in all, I think its a great new place to try out, but if you've had thai fried chicken before, just temper your expectations.
