    Hamburger, Cajun Fries, Onion Rings - their burger was good!
    Jinna R.

    My first review was over two years ago, so I figured it was time for an update. To be honest, we've picked up burgers from this place countless times because it's so convenient--their online ordering for pickup is super fast. The first time we tried their onion rings, they were just okay, but either that was a one-time miss or they've seriously improved since then. We gave them another shot and they were crispy perfection--extra crunchy on the outside with perfectly cooked onions inside. We love their smashed-style patties (chunky ground beef with a great balance of meat and fat). My all-time favorite is still the Holy Smokes--a double cheeseburger with deep-fried jalapeños--while my husband usually goes for the double hamburger. We also tried the crispy chicken Buddha, which was surprisingly good with a crispy exterior and tender, juicy meat. The only downside is that the food does lean a bit on the salty side, including both the burgers and the onion rings. Overall, Buddha Burger delivers every time we're craving simple, good burgers and onion rings.

    Stumbled upon this place when I was in the area. I know a gas station may turn you away from trying this place but it's definitely great for grab and go. The single patty cheeseburger is a bit steep at $8 plus $1 per any added topping. I had to opt for the fried jalapeños which was the star of the show for me. It added such a good crunch and spice. The Cajun fries were fries to perfection and had a great flavor. It's not the cheapest place if you're looking for a burger and fries but if you're willing to splurge this is a good option!

    A burger shop inside a gas station. It is slightly unique as it shares a space with it. When you go in, there are 2 counters; one is for the gas station and one is for the burgers. You place your order, and there are 2 tables inside near the front and a large shared eating area near the ordering counter and 2 tables outside. You order your food at the counter and milkshakes, but if you want a soda or something else, it would be done on the gas station side. The employee did check up on me once and gave me extra napkins, which was nice for being inside a gas station. I got the Cali Classic, which had a nice crispy texture on the outside as it was crisp on the outside of the bun. The sauce inside the burger was heavy on the mustard, something to note if you don't like it. Also, I ordered a side of Cajun fries, which were okay. They weren't as crispy as I would like them to be. The Poutine was a bit on the salty side, but it had a lot of cheese curds.

    Mushroom Melt Keto Bun

    Buddha Burger is such a hidden gem. While you might be fooled by the exterior because it's located inside a gas station, it's a really nice place. The burgers are very fresh, I got the mushroom melt (a copy of the shroom burger from shake. Shack) and the monk vegan burger. Both were delicious and the Cajun fries are also very nice. The service is friendly. They offered us spicy sauce which I highly recommend. They don't have a lot of seating inside but the counter inside was empty when we went and they have a few table outside. Total was around 26 for a couple of burgers and an order of fries. Overall fairly resasonable.

    This is exactly a burger joint on a gas station. You can buy scratch-offs and cigars five feet from the counter. Except that the burger is amazing. I ordered the Big Buddha. The patties were hand formed and thick, crusty and juicy as described in other reviews. The nirvana sauce carries a hint of curry. I didn't notice it at first but it was a delightful surprise.

    Buddha Burger, I was rooting for you! I came in with high hopes (thanks, Yelp!) and a serious burger craving. I ordered a cheeseburger with all the fixin's--lettuce, tomato, pickles, and onions--and a side of onion rings, thinking I was about to hit burger bliss. But for $10, I was expecting something closer to a Whataburger experience, size-wise. Instead, I got a tasty but pretty thin patty. Guess you have to go double meat to get that "big bite" satisfaction. The onion rings were nice and crispy, but nothing extraordinary. I could've used a few more in the basket for the price, but they were seasoned well, so I'll give 'em that. One thing I did love? The place was super clean, and I like that I could pick up some snacks, fill up my gas tank, and even grab a lotto ticket before I left. The staff was very busy but greeted you as you walked in. Buddha Burger is definitely convenient! I'll be back to give the mushroom melt and the chicken sandwich a try--fingers crossed they're worth the encore visit!

    Sometimes I'm skeptical on gas station restaurants, but this one was way better than I expected. It was super clean inside and my worry was that it was going to be a weird smell with the mixture of two, but there wasn't. The burger was by far my favorite. I would definitely go back for another. But everything was really good either way. The staff checked up on us several times to make sure everything was good and even made us recommendations for the cookies which were bomb as well. Definitely worth a try, go check it out.

    This is one of my favorite go to spots in Pflugerville. I refer it to everyone who is looking for a great burger or chicken sandwich. It's located in a gas station, but has some limited seated. Always very clean and staff is welcoming. This trip I opted for the single burger with bacon and my bf ordered the state of the bardo. We also got an order of the fries. This food is so amazing and affordable, I can't say enough nice things about it. If you are in the area, don't be swayed because of the location- just try it!

    Double Cheeseburger
    Sydney N.

    The food is absolutely delicious, not anything you would expect from your local gas station. The black bean burger was delicious, and the regular double cheeseburger was just as good. The space is definitely more suited for take out, rather than a dine in service. The people working the counters were very helpful and knowledgeable about their products and were able to answer all questions. The only complaint is that they do skimp a little on the toppings.

However the great pitmaster, John Brotherton, who made Brotherton's Black Iron Barbecue a legendary place passed away a year ago. He was only 49. His death was sudden and shocking. Net of being a great cook, he apparently was also a great human being. He was much beloved in the Pflugerville community. When a master chef dies, It is usually very hard to his or her restaurant to recover. Brotherton's has taken a serious serious loss. * * * 1) The brisket that was once exceptionally tasty now does not taste like much. 2) Ribs that were highly regarded are now nothing special. 3) I can't say whether the pitmaster was responsible for the sides. However the tater tot casserole has become unpleasant. The beans don't have anything to them. * * * Fortunately I was with charming and absolutely delightful company. So the conversation over the table sparkled. The living carry on many of the good things of life. Those good things take more forms than just the food we put in our mouths. * * * That said, Brotherton's is a serious reminder that death comes to us all. When we die, many of the good things we created die with us.

I also like the layout of this 54th St. because the dining space is spread out and separate from the bar area but there is a lot of bar space as well depending on what you are looking for. This is a newer restaurant so the design and decore is more of a modern elegant look. I like the fact that you can order off of the happy hour menu in the bar or dining area and they have a lot to offer on their happy hour menu, including drinks and appetizers. At the time I visited, they offered a separate menu that allows you to pair up with another diner at your table to order a combination of select meals, appetizers, drinks, and desserts for a really good combination price. We chose a combination that gave us each an alcoholic beverage, a shared appetizer, and two entrées. We shared the gringo dip and chips and for my entrée I had the chicken bucatini. It was a delicious blackened chicken and pasta in an alfredo sauce and it was delicious. My daughter had a soup and sandwich combo. That was a very generous portion for the price point as well.

We came in on a Saturday afternoon with a group of three and had no wait at all, which was a nice bonus. I'd say this place is a step above your typical neighborhood Applebee's or Chili's, so it's a little pricier than those spots -- but you can taste the difference. For an appetizer, we ordered the chips with Gringo Dip, which is one of my favorites. I usually go with the Rattlesnake Pasta (it has a nice little kick to it), but this time I tried the Gyro Pita with fries. The portions were generous, and the gyro was delicious and very filling. I'm personally not a big fan of lettuce in my gyro, but it didn't take away from the overall flavor.
