Big Buddha Burger and fries
Shauna S.

Super fresh and delicious burgers happen here... I have had a few experiences here and I have never been disappointed... I highly recommend!!

Sandra P.

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!

Great brisket sandwich! Awesome chicken fried steak!…read moreMiss having John there to greet us! Wonderful Pflugerville restaurant!

John "MF'n" Brotherton was a growing tour de force in Central Texas BBQ, holding down the northern…read moreAustin metropolitan area with Brotherton's Black Iron Barbecue. John passed away in early 2024, while his family took over the shop in Pflugerville. Now just about a decade after opening shop, Brotherton's is closing down at the end of August. Following John's passing, they've hit a few road bumps from the rising cost of beef that's been plaguing Texas BBQ. Earlier in January they posted on social media how they were struggling, and again last spring. At the start of August, the Brotherton's family announced Brotherton's Black Iron BBQ in Pflugerville was shuttering for good at the end of August. Knowing this would be the last time I would be able to try it, my buddy and I took an extended lunch break on a Friday to give it a shot. Upon arrival at just around 11:50, we noticed that the parking lot was packed with multiple food trucks and other businesses filling the shopping center. We got lucky with a parking spot far away as we marched inside to wait in line. On the door lay plenty of stickers from different BBQ joints from Texas and beyond, with even some coming from overseas. The line moved slowly but surely, and as we got to the front we got our three-meat plate with a bonus slice of turkey for good measure. We ended up getting to Brotherton's at the perfect time because we got the final slices of brisket on that glorious Friday. I'll share my thoughts on everything we tried: Brisket: Though it looked like a great cut that was nicely seasoned, it was pretty fine overall. Nothing remarkable about their brisket while still very fatty. Jalapeño Cheddar Sausage: Juicy, cheesy, not really too spicy on the jalapeño side of things, but that might just be from the mildness of jalapeños these days. Pork Ribs: These suckers looked incredible from the pictures I saw online and on social media, but they were kinda disappointing based on how incredible they looked visually. They were good, just not as epic as I was hoping. Turkey: Turkey is underrated in the BBQ scene, and this is no exception. A nice cut of meat! Cornbread Casserole: I could've eaten the whole thing myself, so it was a shame that we were sharing. Green Chili Mac and Cheese: I'll repeat myself. I could've eaten the whole thing myself, so it was a shame that we were sharing. As a whole, I'm very glad I gave them a shot before I would never be able to again. That's the hardest part about Texas barbecue. The best places and the historic spots can drop in a moment's notice when hardships hit or the meat prices skyrocket. Sadly, I can tell that they're already at the end of their rope with certain menu options like the loaded nachos and baked potatoes, which always seem like the sign of the end. And with how the food was simply just decent overall, it's hard to justify the rising prices. I see reviews all over saying their quality has fallen off year after year following JMFB's passing, and it makes sense: he was the heart and the soul of the business. When that vaporizes overnight, it's only a matter of time. I don't wish for the downfall of any spot, but I understand that it's bound to happen to certain ones. RIYL: Paying respects to one of the greats in Texas BBQ

Somehow we just learned about this place, and I wish we would have known sooner. My Husband has…read morebeen craving a Chicago dog since the last Chicago eatery closed their doors years ago. When we found out, we rushed over for a Father's day meal. The atmosphere was pretty cool, interesting pictures on the walls, someone put a lot of effort, time and thought into the decorating of this establishment. All men running the joint, we told the guy who took our order(who was very nice), it was our first time here. They have been in business for 16 years(not at this location)! So lets get down to the food. My Husband ordered the two dog combo, one a Chicago dog, another a sauerkraut dog, it came with fries. He sad the dogs were amazing, they hit all the marks. The fries were ok, a little room temp(but to be fare we came there 30 minutes before closing). The soda's were really great, not two sirupy, not too carbonated, we enjoyed them. I ordered a pizza with Italian sausage added. They gave us our drinks for free, which was awesome. I didn't know what to expect with the pizza, but I was blown away by it. They should be very proud of the recipe they created. Most places over season/spice their sauces. The flavor of the tomato gets drowned out. This was absolutely not the case the sauce did not sow out the crust whatsoever it held its crisp the whole time. The sausage was wonderful. The cheese was everything you wanted on a pizza. I can say it's the best than crust pizza I think I've ever had. My husband tried it and we fought over who was going to be eating it for lunch tomorrow. It was huge. I wasn't expecting it to be that big. I will be dreaming about that pizza, and craving it. This is my go to place to get good pizza. It blows Nikki's out of the water. If you are craving some good then crust, pizza, or hotdog I suggest you go there. They also have chili fries, cheesesteaks, so much. They have one of those menus, where everything looks good, and it's hard to decide. Just try it. Warning, this pizza is 14 in(seemed bigger), and it being thin crust, and tasting so good, you might find yourself eating the whole thing. Wish we had pics to post, but we did not think of doing it, will do next time(which will probably be later this week, it was that good).

Food came out quick. My sandwich was good and the fries were great. The decor was really cool and…read moregave me some entertainment while i waited.

Such a great value for the price. While the fish was made fresh & came out hot (and tasted really good), the French fries weren't as fresh & came out soggy/stale. Plenty of seating & parking.

Food is a la card ...chicken kasawhatTF was that is $7.50 and unenjoyable...was that invented to ruin Happy Hour? WTF! The Smashburger is $7.50 a la card. FriesWTF are also $7.50. So together $15. Dinner version prepared with no HappyHourWTF attitude is $14.00. Order the latter one. Why bother with Happy Hour when you don't mean it? After an $8.00 Thirsty Goat during HappyHourWTF i left and went to Spirit of Texas Brewstillery for real Happy Hour Brew for $4.00 a pint for craft beer. Let me think...ah yes, 50% less. Very disappointing for Happy Hour. They also don't like you to see the menu. They have one per bar side or they are hiding it. List the beer clearly. If it changes have a printout. I would too... hiding it i mean. That was the first and last time Happy HourWTF. Don't recommend it. I have been here for normal service and have no complaints with the food then. This was specifically for Happy Hour which...you can skip unless you are the one who orders a bottled Michelob-What-Is-That in a craft brewery which definitely says something about you lol. Craft beer is too expensive. Since I enjoy a good beer and don't pay $8 for a craft beer I will limit my visits here because i rather drink water than pouring a dinner tab over my tongue. not paying $8 for a freaking beer. Not $7. $6 max and i think about it... Oldtown Bastrop has happy hour beer for $3.50 a pint of Ziegenbock (that is the bottom of craft beer but it is local and it is quite good draft compared to bottle). 3 beer $10.50 ... plus a great burger and fries for the same as here. I understand drinks are the profit. But be respectful to your customers. There is no reason to go over $6.00 for a craft beer. Beer is'nt a freaking cocktail for fock sake. Then Ice water is the healthy option for not getting pissed off. Then I can drink at home in the yard. I don't go to Happy Hour to get pissed off. Bar staff and servers are not the problem at this place. Happy Hour is a disaster here. Change it. Doesn't take rocket science to grasp that. I hope these places come around, or soon it will be back to backyard burgers and beer, ribs and brisket every weekend. Back to basics. Let these places croak if they don't get the message. I am ok with it. It is a shame for a great location. Thanks for your comment but invest it into your Happy Hour and beer prices. Teach your staff how not to waste it when pouring it. I don't need lip service. I don't give a flying donut what people cry this is market price. No the F it isn't! Market price is what i am willing to pay!
